The game had become less enjoyable for me also, as I struggled to learn ACM, decent fights to practice in became harder to find, I spent most of my time trying to avoid the HORDES. so I went to the DA, thinking I wouldn't have to climb for 20 minutes and then search another 20 minutes for a 1v1. WRONG ! the Da just turned out to be smaller scale lameness. as soon as you engage a plane, 10 more jump you.
But all hope isn't lost ! ive found some joy again. I started playing MIDWAR. usually only 20 people max in there, and most are decent pilots. the countries actually work together, and it's been a lot of fun. and the best part ... NO 30k Pony D's or 262's :-D
