I can think of a way it might be done off one set of hardware depending on how VMs work with things like joysticks, but can't imagine bothering with it.  I'd imagine it would be kludgy as hell, with inputs going to all vehicles currently being driven.

It could be marginally useful for operating in an area where there's no enemy presence, but just can't see it being useful in a crowd.

Wouldn't really work like WoW though, there's more to AH than targeting and clicking.  Having to orient yourself in the game makes a huge difference.

One of the perks to running on multiple systems is the ability to monitor the situation in real time without delay. Timing attacks frees up playing at three at once. The idea I have that others have used is to play on one system with the ability to switch during down times maximizing the efforts. Whether in force or support doesnt matter.  :cheers:

I could be wrong, but to me it looks like an idea that's a lot better on paper than in practice.  *shrug*  If people want to have a bunch of planes in the air that aren't being monitored much, I'll take the kills.

I have ran 2 at once. Its a blast and can be very effective. Its all about timing. When the systems are side by side and your a buff player it makes it a lot easier to manage. For example the time during climbout can be used to drive an m3 to a base instead of a goon. Having 2 sets of bombers and an m3 makes my life a lot easier. I can do it if all 3 are setup with sticks and side by side.

I think it would get complicated if you fly 2 sets of buffs in formation together. Id rather launch them at different locations bringing them in at different alts and vectors. It isnt that hard if you can manage the accounts properly. That way if one comes under attack you can focus on it but keeping an eye on the other screens.

Non- stop action turn 1 player into 3. This allows me to attack secondary bases to horde missions. Im real good at observing the map and choosing the right bases to take. As a horde rolls I can keep pace with base takes or distract.

I asked HTC a year ago about this issue, in specifics,  because I wanted to run 2 accounts (for the same side) and didn't want a "gotcha moment" later should it have been ban worthy -- so I asked officially and got an official answer, yes you can run more than one account.

Many people PM'ed me and blasted me saying I was "anti-spying".  They were wrong.  I just wanted to still furball while I was doing very, very, very long bomber missions.
