Wont happen the Gv'ers get a free play spot by themselves on almost every map TT, vbase to vbase spawn ..etc.

The Gv'ers have no incentive to join the game they have there own game in the game

 I like to GV and wish we had the old tank town back. I have frame rate issues in planes and always like to tank more. I am retired Army with a 19D20 MOS (Cavalry Scout) and I like the GV part of AH. My hole squad left AH for WoT but I still like AH much better. If we had one short GV spawn per map and the old transmission as an option I would be on much more than now. I use to play for hours everyday but now I may be on a few hours a week at most.

I was on during peak hours friday night and, even though there were plenty in the arena, not a single green dot was over an enemy field.

Hate the playa.......not the game.

btw, I cleared my "ignore" list. Don't make me start it back up with your "jiberish"

Oh please, don't hurt my feelings.

What "reality" are you yapping about? Something bubbling around in your imagination?  So a few guys left to play WoT big deal. I'd bet half the guys who left to WoT are already back. And those that didn't come back are those players that won't try/play other aspects of the game.

Again, are you playing this game yet?

[I have played the game for over a decade and I'm NEVER bored, you know why? HTC has been in business for 12 years, they know what they are doing!  :D They have built and provided a great game with MANY ways to play, using MANY types of planes/vehicles. People get bored due to there own inability to expand their own play.

The reality that they are looking for something different!!!!!!! Do I really have to spell every thing out for you?

Easy enough to find out if half of them came back or not isn't it. What do you say R 105?

And from what I can tell WoT is far more fast paced and FIGHT INTENSIVE than the gv war in AH. Kinda puts a damper on your drivel about everyone wanting to avoid fights doesn't it.

And no I am not playing AH. How does that matter? You are still spouting the same stuff you were 2 years ago, so obviously nothing has changed.

muzik, are you talking about fast pace GV war?  Really?  in a game called Aces High....you are concerned about the ground war?! 
avoiding fights...in a  gv?  wow, you seemed to have really missed the mark on my original post....

The game is good and for the most part the players are fine. The frustration for most is the inability for everyone to play the same as me. Joking.

Seriously, most of the complaining is from players frustrated that not everyone will play the way they want. Who cares? If someone wants to sit in an 88mm or an 8" and shoot stuff, it' their business. Ditto for every other activity in game.

Like Coombz (give or take a few hours) my "evening" is prime time "sunrise". Notwithstanding some larger maps, I can still find a fight. Smaller maps from your (GMT-8) 2.00am to 8.00am would "tighten it up" a bit to encourage more direct contact over a smaller area. Smaller maps would be welcome. And as far as opposition at my "evening", most are pretty good. Anyone who plays at USA 05.00 is bound to be dedicated.

In my humble opinion, this is a great sim (it's never a game). My only alterations, if it were in my power, would be some enhancements in cockpit graphics for some planes, some neutering of AI ack ack capabilities, a redefinition of the strange and curious collision model and the ability to use obscene language on 200.

As far as expanding the base, how many guys can you shoot down at once? Better to have 100 people on that know what they are about comparative to that 100 and 700 others that are "wasted space".

Anyway, opinions are like haemorrhoids, every you know what has one. including this one - keep well.

Because you have no vested interest in the game.  You're the dog in the manger.  Why should it matter to you what happens in a game you choose not to play?

Not making fun of you, but I just don't understand why people who don't play the game should care.

I guess you really DO have to spell it out. If they are looking for something different they aren't looking very hard. I can always find something to do in this game.

I didn't say half of R105 squad came back, I was talking over all. Who knows, R105 might have been in a squad of 5 guys. Ya lets base your assumptions on that!

I haven't played WoT, but I have watched a few videos. All I've seen is everyone run strait at each other and just blast away.... COD in armor... THRILLING!  :rolleyes:

That's like complaining about the local Pro ball team and you don't even watch baseball!  LOL!!! The only thing that has changed in the last two years is, it has gotten worst. Hordes are bigger and more often, more and more people run away from fights and only engage when there is no danger to their plane/tank.

Tonight, I had a 190D jump my pony from a 4k perch. We went through a couple of passes and 2 262's joined the fight making it 3 on me. A couple passes by each and a Tempest joined in and I spotted a 109 4k out. By now I am on top the 190 and even being 4 on me whats he do.... runs to the ack LOL!!

Like I said, if people want something else, all they have to do is get out of the horde, build their own mission, get off their spawn camp, jump in a bomber, learn to fight in a fighter instead of run. You might find yourself enjoying this great game again.... oh wait, you don't play.

Remember in Air Warrior when you couldn't shut down the Fighter Hangers?  :old: Shutting down the hangars just gave the uppers built in damage [I think it was an oil leak].

That would be a game changer...

It's always surprised me that the overwellming majority of AH players are North American. I understand the language barrier may be a reason for so few japanese players, but why do the english speaking countries have such small contingents?

muzik, are you talking about fast pace GV war?  Really?  in a game called Aces High....you are concerned about the ground war?!  

No, I have rarely ever participated in the ground war and have little interest in it in its current configuration but I do believe it is a vital part of the game and it needs improvement.

wow, you seemed to have really missed the mark on my original post....

My comment had nothing to do with your op, it was directed solely at Fugi's comment, but I will comment now that you mention it.

has it really gotten to the point where there are less than 25 people on per side...but guys would rather sit in cv guns off the coast of their own base...as they lose the base....to shoot at cons coming in than actually up and fight them?

I think there are a couple things you and others with this complaint don't get. The recession has hit harder than is immediately evident. People are still struggling to recover from it and lower player count and the lack of fights is the result. Perhaps the majority of the folks that quit to save a few bucks were the ones who participated in the air war more often. It's nothing more than a coincidence that those who stayed seem to favor things other than dogfighting, but it has Fugi thinking everyone is hiding from him.

Fact: the players that are left simply don't care to play the game the way Fugi wants them to PERIOD It is pure INSANITY to say people play war games to avoid fights. They may not want to play like an ADHD 10 year old on Redbull, just so some vet can get his chits and giggles, but they DO NOT pay 15 bucks a month to be a pacifist.  :rolleyes:

Next off, this game has hardly changed in 12 years. those that have played this game and AW or others, most likely spent way more than half of that flying. Maybe they aren't COMPLETELY addicted to the flying aspect any longer.

I knew several guys that have gone through every single aspect of this game extensively until they got bored with them, finally they began running missions in every conceivable way, including NOE raids. Fugi says it's to avoid fights. While technically that is accurate, it's not the whole truth. They were BORED with the same old same old. It became a challenge to see how efficiently they can take bases. It's a cat and mouse game that pisses Fugi off, but it's EXACTLY what he was talking about when he said there are other things to do.

He says there are so many things to do in this game, no one could possibly get bored with it yet if they do anything other than fly fighters to provide him with fights they are losers that must be hiding from his horrifying skills.

So again, all these complaints are simply a matter of some people getting pissed off because others don't play the way they want them to. Even if you can't envision it, is it really that hard to believe that a few game changes could cure this?

If I had no interest in the game, why would I be posting here? I do care about the game and despite my disagreements with one who will not be named, I do wish Htc success. So much so that I participate in sharing ideas on this forum despite the presence of illiteratogical (a medical condition of the dually afflicted illiterate and illogical weenies) flamers who bash all rational debate.
