What's counterproductive (you would say silly) is ENY with only 30 players online--with two smaller countries ganging on the larger one in superior numbers to boot) Having a system that works against itself is also harmful to encouraging people to play. I don't have the ideal solution, but I am certain something to improve the situation could be found.
Thank you for explaining to me how playing the game the way I would like after a month off is silly. Thank you for telling me how I should play the game--I had no idea what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize I was supposed to have fun. Silly me (pun intended).
it works its way around 1 day bish rook v nits-next day nit rooks v bish occasionally nits bish v rooks more often then not its bish/rooks v knights, and I will tell you why-KNIGHTS ARE THE BEST AND FUN COUNTRY TO FIGHT and you know it. last week on the Mindnao map I got pizzed at Knights and switched to rooks and I fought against the knights, was the most fun iv'e had in a long time.
most of the time when only 30 people on is between 2 and 5 am central time. not like the old days when you would still have at the least 200 souls on.
but hold--the underlying problem is still the lack of players. even in prime time..
it has been said here that people quit because of eny-maybe a few. but in actuality all the changes to the game when AH3 came out and computers had to be upgraded-and to be fare was said plenty of notice was given that that fact was a possibility-so people quit because they didn't want to spend the money-map changes and redesigned too many trees-trees with 1/4 inch branches stopping a 30 ton tank(fixed) sound changes-can't tell where the shot is coming from(I know a player who quit just because of that)they took out so much of the items in the landscape that had to make up for it with trees.
2 years before AH3 came out people were complaining about AH2 maps, no changes to the maps, or anything else. its eaiser now to white flag a town then it was in AH2. I can wf a town with B24s I seen it done with B26's.
bomb****s cried because they couldn't see the gv's so gv radar appears. still can't see the gv unless it's moving, but shows you what section its in. it seems the majority rules in Aces High-bomber pilots cried and whined that the mountains on the Trinity map esp at V135 so instead of lowering the mountains they dropped the map( is a rumor ) that I heard more then once. AH3 is a different game compared to AH2. AH2 maps were extremely fun maps even FesterMA.
we still have never heard the official reason for HTC taking out the Trinity Map-probably THE MOST FUN and popular map of all time-next to the Compello V85-V88 map. But that is and this is his game-wait its ours also-to play that is.
I know HiTech and Skuzzy are very busy but it would be nice if they either one could take 30minutes or an hour once a week or every 2 weeks to come in game and talk to his PAYING customers. I've never met HiTech and Skuzzy, but I am a fan.(no smart remarks needed here)
when I get started I go all over the place sorry for hijacking.
eny is what it is. but no matter what is done if anything to the eny, the side switch time or whatever whine that comes up, there will always be somebody that will not like the change and complain about it, sure there are other games out there to play. they may have prettier graphics, they may even be free to play, but you get what you don't pay for. Aces High is harder to play then any game/flight sim out there except maybe DCS. even though sometimes you can't tell it by 200 channel people are nicer and friendlier here.
some people say they can't find a fight-well then they ain't looking very hard--fly to an enemy base you will find it, ask Xbrit. he flies to enemy bases all the time over and over.
was on 200 hrs last tour.
log on play the game. YES its a game. don't take it seriously and you can have fun-yes I gripe and complain about vulchers and pickers but it happened in real life, so I live with it. hoeing happened in real life as well quit complaining about it. I'm done here. Salute to all my AH comrades on all sides, and yes even you Vraciu.
oh by the way Vraciu shouldn't you be out flying that beautiful jet some where. what kind was it I lost that info sometime-it sure is pretty
