I wouldnt say ignorant just not very eloquent. The point is, shuff  who wants to fly 40 mins to find a fight when you could be only flying 5 mins? Like TC  its  a gimmie gimmie culture now


I'd say it's a let's not waste time doing nothing culture. :)

A new map keeps the game fresh.  Why have new planes or new models of planes? 

I am questioning HTC's policy of leaving the map making to AH subscribers instead of dedicating an employee to maps.  In the early years it was reasonable because the income was less and the need for new planes was great.  But we have a pretty full roster of planes now. 

Give us more variety with new map features please.

The frequency and nature of fights depend a lot on map setup.

if the map editor were as friendly as most games it would be a great advantage to this game.  However it only crashes my machine and the few times I was able to get it to open it was heads or tales as to what to do even with an out dated tutorial per the specific version of the editor that I had. So....
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

I normally take off into a fight. I'd rather up and fight... not waste time climbing. Many maps sre ok for that.. except when they have too many gv bases... pushes the Planes farther apart.

No it won't, all you'll see is the horde rolling base after base like they do now.

There is nothing wrong with the maps, it how they are used that is the problem.

exactly  :(

I'm too tired to dig back into the past, but Hitech has said he wouldn't hire someone to make new maps because he'd have them working on other things instead. I'm ok with that. HTC does a pretty good job with keeping the new stuff rolling in. I'd rather see the score/perk system reworked to "guide" players to play more of a combat game, where winning the fights/battles is as important as taking bases to win the map.

I saw a really sweet looking map with a really nice terrain layout in a video from that world of planes game.... Maybe we could use their map?    :neener:

5 mins? that's 12 to 14k @ 160 ias + or - .  Insert quarter.  Play the arcade: the essence of take off/twr and repeat ad nauseum.
