Have free arenas or don't have them. Perhaps after trying all there fixes for a game that is just capture the flag, mount high might realize that WWII armies followed the roads and had great battles over railway junctions, bridges and factories.
The game never needed better graphics, AH2 was fine. What the game sorely needs is strategy, a change to basic game play. We have maps that could never support life. No connecting road systems, no train systems linking factories to towns, no convoys hauling fuel or ammo, towns that magically recover simply by time. No rivers to cross or bridges to destroy or rebuild. No engineering troops needed to blow bridges or rebuild them after they were bombed. It’s the stale capture the flag game play that is killing Aces High.
The major WWII battles were fought over chock points, on land, on the sea and in the air, they battled over beach heads, bridge heads, factories, fuel dumps connected by rail systems to refineries, connected to ports. With realistic road, and rail systems, an infrastructure that supported the population and their armies. All of the air battles , tank battles and ground battles were fought over control of the chock points.
All the graphics in the world will not fix stale game play.
