Bish took V44 on ndisles yesterday morning; took away one of the best/consistent tank fights the game has to offer. It may not have killed all the tank fights on the map but it did take away that center town fight...which has kept my interest for nearly 10 years (Kind of like crater center). I doubt we would ever see these fields made uncapturable in AH2 but the players could be observant toward others and not take them, especially when it is taken NOE by an overwelming force.
At the same time, I will say yesterday I spent many hours online in the center Island in a fighter, then another couple hours on the outside trying to help take fields. An entire day of fights.
But there are definitely times on certain maps where there aren't any fights....if you disagree with that, your experience is just lucky....ask any of the European players.
2PM EST...that's about the time you're sure to get a fight on any map...now those fights might be boring or lame due to excessive HOs, Gangs, ect ect ect but there is something to shoot at in some form.
I'll put it this way. End of 2006 when I first started playing from EST...The fight was RAGING whenever I got on, no matter the map. In 2009 I played from Korea, I worked during the week so I couldn't hit primetime except for the weekends. I could still log on and get a fight though, during this time I first started learning 1v1s...actually trying to do some sort of ACM...because the fights in the MA were smaller and I was getting beat 1v1 more often. From 2010 to 2012, I again played from the east coast(except the year in the stan box)....Fights were raging. 2012-2015 I played from Hawaii but I had a 1 1/2 yr break in the middle of it. This is when I first noticed a difference in the game, where there would be times I'd log on and log off almost immediately. If I got on at say 8 hawaii time during the week and a big map was up, yep I might be logging off to play another game. These days I'm back in EST, I use to be more of a "morning crew" on the weekends but like I said earlier, these days it depends on the map...so I stick with other games in the morning and Aces High in the evenings.
The game has offered me almost a decade of game play, everyone has got upset throughout their time here...Plenty of players that I dislike because of their gameplay and plenty of game mechanics I think are wrong...But I am interested to see how AH3 turns out and I'm sure there is going to be something like the old commercial on the Discover Wings channel that will bring players in just like it did for me back then.
I do hope the new members do 3 things....Beat the learning curve(through good training and a competitive spirit), find a good squad, and learn the good fight early on.
Or how about everybody on the boards that can't find fights get with each other in these threads about not being able to find fights to fight each other....oh what a novel idea...people that want to fight fighting each other
But for some reason that doesn't happen
I'll bite since I'm definitely one of the bigger voices for lack of fights due to certain reasons.
I post my position on 200, fly 3 sectors to a field, drop down to NOE in a TA152 and let enemy planes get on my 6 and I still can't get anyone to fight me sometimes....Tell me what should I do in that situation???
Sent from my phone....probably filled with mistakes.
