Off hours-- or should that be low population WARNING>>RANT

Nobody suggested banning non-fighter operations, X.  Way to miss the discussion.

What is needed is a "carrot" to make fighting more worthwhile to the masses that find hiding and running away so appealing.

Quote from OP
"All you are doing is bleeding your player base away.  Since I cannot find fighter fights in here I have been in DCS and RoF.  Take note, people are leaving for a reason and it is not your graphics..they are fine......gameplay is the killer and you have to make a choice.  buff, GV, fighter.  Your new version will look great, I am following it.....but bad gameplay will out rank graphics every time...you know it"


Not sure exactly what the OP means, but above seems to say "have to make a choice... buff, GV, fighter"?

The MA's are based on taking bases, and winning maps... yes?

So then that changes, or map size, or what is available to use, or how many sides, or how eny is implemented, what, what, what?

Not every time I sign in I enjoy the game, but other times I have a good time... not sure of what the off hours for all are, but I usually play mornings US CST, and the numbers of players are generally low. Usually the Bishops numbers are 2-1 over Rooks, and Knights, and Bishops are rolling bases.

I don't know...

I think he is speaking in terms of emphasis.  I could be wrong.

The behavior you reward is what you will get. 

Also, businesses tend to over-diversify to their destruction.  Wal-Mart can't be Southwest.   Southwest can't be Dr. Pepper.

I have an idea to promote fights. Two countries and a 1 hour switch time.   

And they could call the two countries the Axis and the Allies!

They could make Aces High a MMP WWII combat flight simulator 

I still fly some IL-2 1946 MP, and some IL-2 Cliffs of Dover MP, and everyone agrees Aces High has the best flight models but no WWII vibe at all.

Two sides in Warbirds was dynamic and fun.  I would be all for it.

Yes!  And they could create an arena for these people!  And it could be called Axis Vs Allies!  And people would flock to it in droves!  And there would be a huge WWII vibe in it!

I like the 3 sides personally.

I think a  2 hour side switch time is better.

During off hours, bases in the back of the map need to be deactivated to make the fights in closer quarters.

I am betting on fewer arenas going forward.  The player base at present doesn't justify the current allocation. 

A two-sided Late War Main is where things SHOULD go.  Time will tell what watches don't.

Bingo.  Simple.  Effective. 

[alskahawk]

 Need some new maps. Smaller the better. Fewer bases.

There's nothing stopping people from going to two sided AvA.  HTC doesn't prevent people from using it in any way.
