This game is dead unless things change

I have been trying out our main competitor as of late. The dreaded "Woe" Thunder.

On Realism mode it is sufficiently realistic to provide a challenge but not too over the top to scare off the middle ground. Kind of similar to AH2's current set up. But in regards to the OP I say he has made very good points.

The HTC crowd are the best small company in the world as far as I am concerned, no one beats their love and dedication to their passion and product. And their business model is second to none. The product itself however by its very nature is inaccessible to a huge chunk of the market.

All things considered, War Thunder while lacking the depth of AH2, is a fun, reasonably challenging, reasonably realistic game (at least after a million patches and a few flight model overhauls anyway), with alot of fast paced kill, boom, SPLOSIONS WOW YAY in there.

We need smaller maps, and that graphics patch. Those two things will bring numbers back. At least I hope so.

On full realism its way too hard due to no icons.

I hope that's not the direction AH is going  

The draw to AH for me is the realism and similarity to WWII.  That's why I wish HiTech would use real terrains and make this a proper WWII game set in Europe, Russia, North Africa, and the South Pacific between those guys called the Allied and Axis powers.

Been an arena for that for quite some time. It's an option. Find like-minded players and populate it. I'd join ya.

Other than FSO and Special Events I think it's just you and me, Arlo  . The next generation is gonna end up thinking WWII was actually fought between the Rooks, Bishops and Knights

This heavily relies on the next generation being AcesHigh players and not War Thunder or any other WW2 FPS, RTS etc... not too mention retarded.

I know this post won't do any thing but make me feel better

To olds442,
  I was not there, but looking at this thread and seeing how many times Skuzzy has had to invoke Rule #4 on your postings, I am going to surmise that you have a severe attitude problem. Morf has donated his time, experience, and  knowledge to this community of players, can you say the same?  Morf probably doesn't even remember me, but when I was brand new to this game, and very lost I might add, I went to the TA and asked if anyone could help. He was the first to step up and do so. After challenging me to study and to practice he took the time to teach me how to put it all together, and today I can hold my own.  Thank You Morf from all of us!
  Olds I pray we meet in the MA, and when your text buffer reads "Shot down by Doc4" remember that I use the tactics that you could have learned if you were more of a gentleman.

You're right, their is no reason to really bring this subject up again...

Anytime you want to go to the DA hit me up I fly under the name cutlass.

Since you're a wicked good DA guy I'm sure we'll see you in the next dueling bracket tournament showing off your prowess.

I never implied that I was "wicked good DA guy", you made that up from your imagenation. I simply said anytime he feels like he wants to duel to hit me up.

This, I hate doing nothing while looking for a fight 2 sectors away then when I finally get there just for the fight to die or people to come in at 20k plus...

 

Given you are heading to a fight "two sectors away"....maybe consider climbing up to 20K plus to engage on a more equal footing?   If no one is up there when you reach the fight nothing prevents you from decending.

Don't attack rooks, then no one will come in on you from 20+K.

Some great fights happen at 20K the "air fights = 500ft or less" crowd totally miss.

You and Chalenge?

You and Chalenge?

You see the occasional guy who will actually stay and fight at that alt.  Probably less than a dozen of us or so in the arena at any given time though.

Yes, I know. I was being sarcastic
