Been saying it for years....M3 resupply is the most damaging aspect to game play in Aces High and has been for about 4 years....people who are all about the war use it to save bases without actually fighting for them and after a field is taken it's too easy to just reset it and end a fight there...the first 15-20 minutes after losing a field and trying to get it back used to be one the best parts of the game...that doesn't happen anymore.

ohh boo hoo hoo and while we are inguaged with fighter attack defending aur base your gv's and or bombers and m3's are attacking the town and base, are we supposed to just fly around and just try to shoot down planes while your gv's win the field. 2 or 3 M4-75's with rockets can wf a town in 10 minutes including deacking-you don't need a plane to deack a town when you have tanks in there.

M3 resupplying a town is fighting to save that town and base.

If your having a fight then the status of the town doesn't matter. If your trying to take the base, plan better.

If you dont think a fight and base take go together, I think you must be playing a different game.  I noticed a lot of your replys to threads like these concerning problems with game, are jist basically to argue. 

Is it going to hurt anyones feeling if town resupp was nerfed?  No.

Is it a problem for quite a few folks.  Yes.  Its been indicated by several on this board and a lot more voice that same opinion in game.

If you really dont see how it draws away from action packed game play that gets people hooked, you should sit down and look at the big picture.

Ehh, I think we can all say from the HQ going down every hour from the 49th last year, that not having dars really lower the ACTION and players log off in boredom.

Obviously, there is two camps. The first wants to find a fight as quickly as they can and limit the amount of downtime looking. The second camp wants to win the war and is willing to avoid combat at any cost in order to complete objectives. In other words, Aces High hasn't changed at all.

I know it is subjective, but what is the current ratio of the two approaches right now?

Not trying to argue, just trying to show you that there are ways around this "problem". Again, if your having problems with the dreadful resupply, why not take out the VH?

Getting shot up from a Wirby/Ostwind without icon get old fast.
They also enjoy ranging computer (plane icons) making it easy for them.

A good example is when they park at enemy runway's end in the treeline, is not spotted (have icon), yet they see you at full icon range.

That would mean constantly flying heavy to a base to drop a VH.  By the time you fly there and rtb, you would have to reup immediately to do bomb the same shed.  The VH would likely pop in between that time and 1 or 2 m3s could sneak in.

While i would like to see resupply of towns removed.. i think supplying bases and other gvs just fine.  At least they would be resupping a base to get a base back to operational, not just avoiding combat to save a base.

Resup tactics arent what got 800 players online like the old days.. the fights did.

Way too easy for tanks and m-3s to sneak around everywhere, take bases and resupply them, etc. 

Far too much ninja stuff in what is supposed to be a combat game.

The game isn't performing as well as it had in the past (less numbers). People are trying to figure out why, but are left with idle ideas and perspectives that only show a shred of the real happenings.

It would be best to reflect on ideas and see if they add actual value/interest/novelties to the game before posting.

It only takes one flight. Drop the VH, let the crowd take the base. If they cant take it in 15 min then either nothing was planned, or it wasn't planned properly.
