If this is because AH has out grown the front page description of:
Aces High takes the art and science of vintage WW1 and WW2 air combat and sets it in a high intensity online multiplayer environment.
A name change( re-branding) to bring the AH world inline with where it has evolved, will help a new generation of subscribers identify with what they will see when entering AH3.
We fight a forever war in the air, land, and sea. We have dedicated pilots and tank commanders who cross disciplines to increase their fun because the game has evolved into offering so much. A new name leaves the door open to more evolution, rather than stick AH in a narrow niche of "only air combat matters". That just happens to take place over the top of tanks and ships customers are paying $14.95 to play war with.
Air combat will always be prime because of the "super hero aspect" of air combat and 1000lb bombs. And this game world as a whole has attracted players with so many other interests and talents which the Aces High world has been able to support with their ingenuity. The Aces High world is now a clay that can be easily molded into so many aspects of WW2 because it's creator made it so the player can use simple tools to duplicate those aspects.
A new name to look at this game with will also distance the Aces High of old and all of it's acrimony baggage from the minds of new customers so they only know the new game Hitech has created.
