I'm new to AH, spent a few years in AWs

I've invited over 10 friends to get in and give it a try.

You are my hero!  :aok

I have gone into other sim sites, social media sites, newsgroups and Placed AH info or scoured players contact info to recommend they take a look at AH.
This may be of interest to those looking for places to recruit.....

Pinterest.com (Pinterest is a free and mobile application company that operates a photo sharing website. Registration is required for use)

Facebook.com (Facebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues).

Twitter.com (Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called "tweets").

More Later....

If you're in a fair fight, you didn't plan it properly.

I really don't like whine posts but bs like what happened in the MA today is a big reason why people leave the game. All you have is bish and rook hoardes and bomb and bail morons.

This game is dying no denying it. I reupped my subscription a couple months ago and unless your on at prime times its like chasing ghost across the maps and its only going to get worse!(God Bless those people playing at odd times).Any ways, I think its ridiculous they don't have a quarter of when AH3 was due out ? They rarely respond to forums and give their feedback and this is a small game; just give us an idea of what direction your heading, plans moving forward ? I play plenty of games and generally the developers have a well documented road map, and are vocal when set backs occur. I understand this is a small game, but I haven't seen an effort of the staff to properly communicate where they are in the process of transitioning to AH3? Their stance on Big maps vs small maps? Solution to the trend of memberships declining? While these questions may seem small, they have a significant impact on players thoughts to continue to subscribe. I'm sure there are a hundred other questions that the player base has questions too as well.

they have answered the same questions over and over.  how many answers do people really want.  one of hitech's answers has been something like "what people ask for is not what they really want".

for example the taking out the large maps from rotation.  some people will say that would encourage fighting, while the truth maybe that those who dont want to fight will see a small map and log off so the players will be even less.  or maybe that small maps get rolled in a matter of hours and we would have 3 or 4 maps per day with no guarantee of a fight.

so getting rid of large maps most likely would accomplish nothing.

I think HTC did an on-line poll on whether or not to use the large maps, and large maps won.

Unfortunately, maybe a lot of people who want small maps were not on-line to vote because of large maps.  ;)

Really?  You mean like when the Rooks were backed into a corner all last night while Bish/Knit barely fought?  The bs is as old as the game... it was your turn in the bucket, you ain't gotta like it, but I'll bet you sure won't remember it when you're doing it to others.

Best nights in the game is when both sides are attacking your own...plenty of fights to go around.

So...I took off work Thursday...I logged on at about 10:30 am CDT...there were 43 people logged on...I found a darbar upped a fighter and found a fight...this continued all day...I logged off around 8pm...I never had a lack of fights...let me say that again....I NEVER COULD NOT FIND A FIGHT...Do y'all understand what I'm telling you???

I have proved this time and time again...I have a post from a couple of months ago where the same thing happened...

I see you people get on here and cry and cry and cry....real f*****g tears man..."oh the game is dying there was only 50 people on and blah blah blah blah blah

Give it a rest....I mean come on!!!!!

I have found some of the best fights early in the mornings when there is hardly anyone on...

Either A.  You don't know how to read a darbar.
         B.  You don't want to find a fight.
         C.  Your a cry bag and want to pick a furball.
Or     D.  You don't want to find a fight.

You have film of this?

I have film of flying around chasing darbars, or joining the horde trying to take back a base that was snuck NOE by our HQ. Neither of which are even close to being called a fight.

Another thing, what do you consider a "fight"? What you call a fight may be way off from what some here are looking for.

I'll check out AH3 when it finally launches, but what I saw of it a few months ago was so unappealing I can't imagine wanting to play the game anymore unless it has drastically changed in the meantime.

Maybe you never were into WWII aircraft. AHIII looks great. In fact since I fly there most now, AHII is boring by comparison.

Go bish or knit and start a fight. Easy enough to do.
