A New War

The moment a wish thread deviates from discussing practicalities and implementation (when it isn't a wish to model a plane or GV) I get bored.

They also want HiTech to completely change the game. Not find avenues inside of his parameters to expand the game within its current framework. Which is what he is more likely from years of observation to give some thought to. But, then they don't have to meet his payroll and loan obligations.

Most of what I have asked fits into the framework of what the game can already do or has done in the past.

Which is what he is more likely from years of observation to give some thought to. But, then they don't have to meet his payroll and loan obligations.

Not sure what you're getting at here. There was no asterisks in the "Wishlist" sticky that said I was required to meet some sort of payroll/loan obligations in order to make a suggestion.


If I did not care about the game and only intended on ripping on it I wouldn't be here making a suggestion to make it better. I could just do that in the general forums. But being an adult, I would more likely just play other games (like I have been) rather than flame a game I did not like.

To me the game has everything needed to be enjoyable. A great flight model, fun ground game, bombers, sea war. A lot of things already exist in the game. To me the only thing missing is what to do in those planes, gv's bombers ect. There's little action. That part of the game has gone real stale over the years. It's also just about the only thing that hasn't changed since the game began. HTC has tweaked everything but the war itself. Hence the title of the thread.

And if you call action grabbing a bunch of your friends or all 15wings of your squads and taking a bunch of undefended or lightly defended bases then you are part of what is wrong with the game today and why a lot of very good players left.

As a student of psychology you should see and understand what most of these suggestions are. People are looking for ways that HTC can use to guide the players back to using those things that are so neglected in the game that use to be used so often. With the shift in the way this generation has pushed the game many are just looking for a way to shift it back to when there was more strategy, fighting, and tactics used.

Nobody is looking for a re-write of the game coad, just an adjustment to "guide" players into more avenues of game play.

Very well said.

TW9, i remember  when we used to be with Hornets, me and you used to capture a chain of Vases on Pizza map with 1xM8 +1 m3( until we meet  the LTARs or AKs ; the V base had 1 vh and 1 manned ack.Now the vbase has 4 vhs +1 Fh+ a dozed of guns.The town was small without guns easy to take all down with 1x P47 heavy. Bases were much easier  to capture,  without this ninja resuping .m3s, more dynamic front line,maps reset  sooner and toolsheders like myself had fun grabbing land:  this was strategy

   Making bases very difficult to capture and this large maps impossible  to reset in 7 days map cycle , ,eliminate strategy and 1000s of players ;
what's  left to play for, what to achieve?
  Nothing left ,only the abused  score system posted on front page ecouraging cowardly selfish behaviour.
I see the graphics  are getting a bust in next version,  but imop, they can add  butterflies and paint the grass pink, if the strategic gaming is not changed the numbers of players won't improve.

 Most large maps are actually won.

But I know that won't stop you from claiming this thing again and again.

HiTech modified game mechanisms in response to the many years long problems with hoards which many of these same players screamed at HiTech for years to bring under control. Ultimately we have the finest in anti-hoard mechanisms and no hoard anymore. The game stopped being fun from the hoard lemming's point of view and here we are. The screaming worked. Fields and towns that take a super hoard to capture that even we don't like.

Now the same screamers are screaming for HiTech to put it back the way it was because we don't have lemmings to club anymore(easy fields to capture). We have an arena filled with mostly 20%ers because the 80%ers stopped having fun. Because the 20%ers didn't like their answer to being clubbed unmercifully, "The HOARD". And many of the clubbed are now dumb, fat , and happy, dorking around in the eye candy orgasmic sky's of WT.

You guys need those hoards and all of their unintended consequences as much as HiTech needs their money.

Stop complaining and let HiTech complete AH3.

If nothing changes but the graphics how's that make it AH3? You can put lipstick on a pig but it would still be a pig. It's pretty obvious the game has headed in the wrong direction. The numbers confirm that. People have posted valid requests in this thread and attempting to belittle those people for doing so instead making valid counters (ie stating why you think there isn't a problem) only shows your level of intelligence (or lack there of).

It's a "horde"......... Just sayin


Although if any of you pilits can guide me to a hoard secreted about any terrain ....... I would be most grateful.

For whatever reason spellchecker sometimes flags "horde" and confuses those who fear their attempted troll will be counter-trolled by their lack of intelligence.

Thread's gone south. It's become more 'bout trading insults than ideas.

The day there's no trolls on the BB's will be the day pigs learn to fly.

Take away winning the reset altogether.  Rotate maps regularly.  Adjust those maps based on numbers in flight.  Make a number of bases indestructible so that low numbered sides always have fields they can up from to continue the fight.  Limit dar and counters in how far into bad guy land they can see, allowing for a low number side to be able to up a counter attack without a dar bar showing

Removing the win the reset feeder bar and putting the emphasis on player vs player, team vs team combat would seem like the way to go.   Getting to the reset feeder bar can be done with a lot of bodies and little combat.

Then TW9 come back and fly with us.
