Anyone else...

I am assuming that for the most part the reason this happens is because "they" don't have the skill to maintain a cap on a field

Maybe said skills required would be learned if they didnt drop all the hangars every time and actually learnt to fight

Considering the griefing going on on range, nobody was enjoying it

It could be worse, "they" could have been discussing politics on 200.

WOW ! this has gotta be the most ignorant post i've read !  please excuse me if im wrong, but this IS a WWII combat simulation game right ?
 And what was the action that finally brought the USA into the war ? i think it was A HORDE OF SMALL JAP BOMBERS SMASHING A BASE.

   So in my not so humble opinion, the game is more realistic when hordes attack. the game is NOT just about furballing, and shooting down other fighters.
  it's about strategic bombing, (porking ords, sinking task groups, strat bombing,) it's about situational awareness (reading dar bars, predicting where you'll be attacked next, where your enemy is strongest/weakest) and it's about teamwork ! it's not easy getting a bunch of type A personality pilots to work together, join a mission and take a base.

Isn't not a me problem, it's a "nobody likes to just drop what they're doing to frantically try to defend" issue.

  War is heck.

you are excused......Aces High is NOT a WW2 simulator.....nor is it a "War" game

it is a Air/ground Combat game(giant sandbox) using WW2 equipment.  

the main word and most important is "COMBAT"

I enjoy myself whatever is going on ingame, but only way to improve ACM and SA is to fight and die not auger on a hangar. Plus i sux more than most the horders lol

I don't have a problem with them coming in at 14k, it's when they are running NOE all night that drives me nuts. I do wish there was more incentive to defend tho. Right now EVERYBODY wants to be on the winning team capturing a base is counted as a "win". But defending a base only gets you some quite time as you search the map for the horde to up some place else seeing they could get through the defense.

LOL!!! your new to the boards so I'll just warn ya, this is a game NOT war so never compare the two. As for "strategic bombing, (porking ords, sinking task groups, strat bombing,) it's about situational awareness (reading dar bars, predicting where you'll be attacked next, where your enemy is strongest/weakest) and it's about teamwork ! it's not easy getting a bunch of type A personality pilots to work together, join a mission and take a base" you rarely see this. All you see is a large groupe that flies together and like a horde of locusts just flattens everything at a base. They neither look for nor participate in combat, but do the opposite and do everything they can to avoid it.

Perking heavy ordnance loads wouldn't be a bad option. Say, 1000lb and larger bombs are perked?

Seems like I read somewhere that 500 Pounders were the normal loadout

For the third time, I'm not going to keep the map open, and be vigilant for darbars while in a dogfight.

By the time I realized the base was getting hordes (maybe 2-5 minutes tops), one hanger up, M3 in to town. Not a whole hell of a lot I could have done to react any faster.

And no, nobody likes to be told "horde at Axxx, auger your plane, bail your bomber, ditch your tank, let's goooooo!"




Not really surprised at the replys, but saddened. To many just accepted poor behavior  .

You flew with one of these raids before

Whine and whine and whine.


This has been happening for years. What makes you think it'll change?

[ROC]

As did you.

It's stunning how simple this is.  You have the absolute ability to do something about the game play you do not like, but have stated over and over again what you don't want to do. Sounds like there is a problem here, but it might not be what you think it is
