Yes exactly.  Do you remember in Air Warrior when the computer AI would generate random intel messages?  You would see "Bomber Formation in Sector 6,7."  This would be like that, minus the A.I, plus the pilot intentions.  A separate channel or chat screen would do, but I think a menu in the clipboard would be more professional and polished. 

Just today, I took down town, and nobody was deacking. I flew a goon in, but had to turn it around because ack was up.  :eek:  As soon as I landed, someone deacked the field.   :bhead  These are things that are so easy to fix.



You shouldn't have to be in an FSO or Squad Night in order to have any level of teamwork.  The MA can be just as fun solo if there were some sort of information system users could post flight-related topics in an organized manner, aside from the chat log.

I also think it hurts the game when new users come in, try to take a field, and nobody does anything because they don't know whats going on.  They get bored of furballing perhaps, and the lack of communication regarding base taking and "the war" cause them to leave for good.  I've seen it happen in plenty of other games, and have left several games myself for this very reason.

A whole bunch of guys who have not downloaded the alpha to see what Hitech is up to for AH3. AH2 is almost in the grave with a 21 gun reverent salute.

In the alpha if you zoom in until one sector becomes the map, all aircraft become designated by tiny spitfire top views or tiny B17 top views. They even point in the right direction of travel. We tested for several weeks massive B17 missions into Europe with massive fighter responses. You could choose either side in the AI forces and get immersed with about 100 bombers and about as many fighters. I've fought easier vets in the MA than some of those AI. The earlier BoB missions for fighter to fighter were worse. But, the masses of He111 were fun until the ammo ran out.

You want to take part in the open alpha, go here, follow the directions from Skuzzy and Hitech. Irritate Hitech with things like this post at your risk. It is very apparent he has already decided what AH3 will turn out as, and we are in the alpha to provide feed back for bugs and graphics issues. That battle ship Waffle has been showing peeks of is not for AH2.

I did download the alpha but my computer can't run it. It sounds interesting.

N95KF, participate in the Friday Squad Ops (FSO).

A squadmate and I were invited last Friday.

...Alpha and Bravo wings at 25k, 10k hard deck

... Charlie and Delta wings at 20k, 5k hard deck

We were in delta wing. Guess what? Everyone followed orders and went with the plan. It felt like the real deal!

We escorted the SBDs to the Japanese carrier group and then slaughtered the Zeke and Oscar defenders... Text book.

FSO is designed for you!

 :rofl People are too afraid of spies that they dont even dare to use the country channel to tell people that the horde is going to base A-(X+5) after the 4 previous bases in the chain have been horded...

FSO

You wont regret it.

In fact it will blow your mind

It feels real, it feels intense, it feels like you are in a real air combat war. It is nothing like any other game has ever been able to achieve. It's one of the Gems this game has to offer that you should highly consider participating in.

I have a HD6770 and can play with the graphics defaults and a slide show near multiple planes. Or do the following.

Try turning off clutter, post lighting and put the environment slider on "0". It still looks better than AH2 with all the bells and whistles turned on. I can attack 60 packed bombers with no slide show. And I can fly through the massive could banks of Europe.

Unless your video card is very old or a chip on the mother board. Then my condolences at this time. But who knows, Hitech is still tweeking the monster every day. We don't get told anything, we just test and report back. From time to time he makes tweeks that have changed everything for the better like magic.
