CPR for Aces High

[Arlo]

Appreciate your comments, but, I must respectively disagree! There are steps which could be taken to encourage membership and that is all I am trying to do with a post like my 10 points. Not all are good, but a couple have some merit.
You bring up the AVA, and I have tried it a couple of times, but as you point out, was hardly no one there! I sometimes wonder if there is any merit to closing the main arena 1 night per week and have a 2 country fight, British vs Germans, America vs Japan. Of course the score nuts would pitch a fit and a lot of the guys would not play, "because I have never flown that aircraft before and I would be fodder for somebody", so guess that is not good idea.
My problem is, looking 80 right in the face, (Oct.), I don't know how many years or weeks, days, or months that I have left to play this great game and all I want to do is enjoy it for every minute that I am able to play.
Didn't mean to offend anyone, because if that is what people think, I will just quit posting in the forum! That's how a lot of the experience guys look at it, because getting rebuked and they say what heck, I don't need that crap!

You're not offending me and I want you to enjoy this game to it's fullest, as well.
Perhaps it's simpler than suggesting a major revamp. It may be as easy as hooking
up with the right group of pilots that you enjoy playing the game with. I see indication
that you are already part of a squadron. Does it seem a good fit? Do you have fun
flying with them? Do they like scenarios or are they willing to promote the AvA along
with other squads? The Flying Pigs have been working on such.

I am on your side when it comes to enjoying the game, Earl. I'd rather laugh with you
in the arena than commiserate with you on the forum.

Why would B-29s be immune to the 30mm rounds fired by the Me262 and Me163, but not by the Ta152H-1 or Bf109K-4?

Speaking from a user interface perspective, the last thing you want to do is make the user's experience inconsistent to where they cannot predict what will happen or what they have to do to accomplish before undertaking the task.  That is about the worst thing that can be done from a design perspective and selectively making units immune to other units would be examples of that kind of inconsistency.

I like the idea but as a regular thing it would be awful, I'm thinking not only inbalances of aircraft types and abuses, but people have different live and schedules and it's not going to be appreciated overall if it is regular.

The result is that mid-war and early war would become busier and late-war emptier if people "messed" with the game.

There's merit in your ideas thoughs, I know what you are trying to achieve, I'm not sure it's the solution.

Don't let it get to you Earl.  Keep the good stuff coming.  You are one of the few that makes sense with your posts.  

Thank you for your post! There are a lot of good people in the forums, you, Arlo and Zacklof and I could name another dozen or so, if I had the time! If anyone don't like my post or "OP's", then attack what I have written, not me personally!

Earl I replied to the OP not you.

Hitech very slowly changes systemic processes over time. He is not against change. He is against unintended consequences. Everyone gets bored at different rates and addresses their personal issue in 3 major strategies.

1. - Leave the game and find greener pastures.
2. - Whine like heck and try to convince visa this forum and perceived customer agreement, Hitech revamping the game will make it better than it ever was before per their personal directions.
3. - Recheck their own mental position and take responsibility for their fun in the game. Empty sandbox with toys strewn all over it is not there to entertain you. That's your brain's job to take advantage of the toys and lack of inhibiting rules as you fight against and out think other living human beings.

Hitech cannot force living human beings to do what the OP really wants now that he's bored. As for minor systemic changes. Try showing the pros and cons to the changes you want as you engage Hitech from the perspective of how they will benefit the community within the no rules sandbox framework. He's only liked one of my requests in the last decade.
