Hello, guys.

I noticed your excellent recent video on Aces High.

I'm a player who runs special events in Aces High called "scenarios", which are battles based on historical WWII conflicts with about 40 players on a side, flying historical plane sets, with command staffs on each side, and realistic missions and objectives.

I'd like to invite you guys to fly in the next one with us.  The next one is based on the air battles during the Battle of the Bulge and starts February 25th.  There are P-51D's, P-47D's, Spitfire XVI's, Typhoons, Tempests, and B-26's vs. Bf 109G-14's, Bf 109K's, FW 190A's, FW 190D's, and FW 190F's.  The missions involve air combat, intercept, escort, sweeps, bombing, and attack missions.

If you are interested, feel free to e-mail me at brooke at electraforge.com, and I can get you set up.

For what a scenario is like:

I've been banging this gong for a couple months - And yes, DDgamer is not new to sims, he plays absolutely everything he gets his hands on, and has a large, loyal following.  He could just be the start too.  Well done Brooke, HTC or its agents (ie you/etc) should keep the momentum up with this -

There is so many great opportunities like this for HTC to get great advertising for AH3, and the costs in terms of $ is pretty minimal.  There is a list of a good dozen YT and Twitch flight sim gamers that would be happy to review/play AH3 as well given the opportunity, and a few of them I know are very competent pilots in other games, and would probably end up subbing and dragging some of their viewers along as well, just due to the challenge and the competitive environment. 

As others said, support these channels by giving them a like and a subscribe if you follow YT/etc.  There are literally millions of military/sim players out there watching these channels, and few of them have even heard of AH3 - lots of potential new players.

You could hear it in their voices, they both were having a great time, new skills to learn, new things like PT boat fire, moving carrier decks, all of it.  They got kills too, IMO that's great for the review, and to show others that it isn't all that tough to get rolling in the game.

DevilDogGamer, an X-Marine vet with 3/4 of a million subs, and all he does is review/stream/play military games, and AH3 would fit right in on his channel, but he's not covered AH3.  He did a quick review of AH2 a year ago, and 76 thousand people watched it.  There are many, many like that channel, opportunities for AH3 to get a lot of coverage and exposure.

Sounds Like they had a Killer time flying in Our Game and this the exposure we need to grasp new players

[Gman]

That's my takeaway from their video too Molsman, they were having a blast, and even commented "we need to start flying this game more often".  If that's not a resounding endorsement from guys that fly other sims, and in DevilDogs case, every sim, I don't know what is.

I really hope more YT reviewers are given the opportunity to take a look at AH3, there are some very large channels out there always looking for quality material to play and review, and AH3 is that and then some.

I also hope the entire community does everything they can to help and new players that are on their 2 week trial, and we all go as far out of our way as possible to try and retain those new players.  Refer them to trainers, answer help questions on comms and vox, offer to let new guys join and watch you fly, etc. 

[Beefcake]

I kinda would like to step in for a second and....I guess for lack of better terms "piss on the parade". I'm excited to see a potential for new blood but I sometimes get irritated when people start championing these people and wanting to give them free accounts and whatnot. We have numerous members of this community who do videos on a regular basis promoting the game but never get any recognition. Vudu15 is a friend of mine and spends a lot of time doing training and promotional videos but (IMO) he never sees the light of day for his work.

I welcome these new youtubers and hope it generates new interest in the game, but I hope we don't forget the guys that are here "year round" so to speak.
