Old strat system poll

[RTHolmes]

those train ack gunners were easily the best shots in the game

Are strat poles painted red and white like barber poles?

Have you learned map making yet? I would be interested in seeing how large railyards effect framerates and gameplay.

Depends fully on how the railyards are being modeled 

But that's why I said "I'm thinking more of railyards than factories, but for the most part this is more a matter of appearance." The function in terms of gameplay would be more important. I chose the form of "railyards" because that's an important feature in the bombing warfare that is so far lacking in AH, but of course you could simply make that another kind of factories.

I'd return to the game, If the old strat target, trains, Etc.., would be put back in the game.

Wow! So the main reason you left the game is because of the changes in strats? That makes me wonder how many others left for the same reason.

So c'mon HTC. It's appears you have nothing to lose by going back to the old system, and in fact you'll gain at least 15 bucks a month for doing so. I know of several long time players that have hung their joysticks up out of shear boredom with the game. Maybe this change in the strat system we're asking for might just bring a few of those past players back too?
Lets bring chess back to the checker board.

I want pie charts instead of a #% value showing strat damage.

When questions like this keep popping up I wish Hitech, or Pyro would chime in and tell everyone WHY they have done what they did. If it makes sense... as I'm sure it would  we can let the question die, and point anyone else who brings it back up to the reply.

Based on the many and repeated collision model posts, when there are many films and pictures and responses from HTC, even pointing them to a HTC reply wouldn't prevent them from beating the dead horse.

I agree Fugi. I know they have to be looking at this. I was really expecting a response from HiTech by now as to why this isn't doable, bad for the game play or something. I'll be the first one to admit I don't have a clue as to the internal mechanics that go into making this game work, but surely reverting back to a past way the game was setup or laid out can't be that hard to implement.
Heck I don't know. I realize HTC is a very small company with a handful of employee's, so maybe they're just too busy and have bigger fish to fry right now.

Did anyone bothered to think maybe the reaon why the game's changed or different it's because people have changed how it's played.

I believe this is a valid request that would improve the game play as well as keep players interested in something that many feel has become humdrum and stagnate. To compare this request to the collision model threads is like comparing apples to oranges.

Could you explain that statement a little more? IIRC, I remember a post from you a while back how you were unhappy about the state of the current way the game was played. Do you not think a strat change would improve things?

Are there no trains? http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/map.html or are the trains they are talking about different.  I am assuming that one reason they don't have a real network of roads and vehicles is that that would take up too much computer power.  That would be the thing if you could follow a train line or a road to come across targets.
