Dang WTH Happened to the Numbers???

I agree, the "JACKWAZD LANDED 7 KILLS" message needs to go away.  It does nothing to move gameplay in a positive fashion, and likely rewards tactics that are just boring in an online experience.  Score dweebs can see their score if they want to.

Lower numbers need smaller maps so there is less running and hiding and more forced engangements

MNM is the place to be for such an experience

Agreed.... or terrains with active areas to keep the fight in certain areas. As bases are captured the area adjusts.... this way the large terrains can still be used.

Since we get a live play-by-play of every kill, I don't think many pay attention to the "landed kills" message anymore.  You hardly ever see a "WTG" when someone lands several kills.

How much did you spend on your new rig? Again it is irrelevant because he was talking about how the game has changed for the worst. His whole post had nothing to do with how much he spent other than pointing out he WANTED to invest in a good box to play what he THOUGHT was a good game, which unfortunately isn't quit as good as he remembers.

This exact sentiment.  I bought a machine that was good enough to do VR well and to move into the next iteration.  I was not implying you needed that to run this game at a base level.

 I also bought peripherals... VKB stick and pedals, new warthog throttle and mounts, along with a SecretLab chair... all meant to get back into this game, which I've missed.  Those peripherals were over $1,500 together.

Thankfully, they can be used for other games, including DCS.

I came back for about a month,  after an absence of 8 years, (spent about 4,000 bucks on A COMPLETE up-to-date RIG to play this game in particular).... I actually enjoyed the game maybe 3 hours out of that month.  I've spent almost all my flying time on DCS.

No biggy... I was just taking what you stated as fact. I built a new machine too.... but not for this game. It will easily handle VR also. That is one part of the game I did not take into consideration. It will take a bit more machine to handle the VR part.

If you fly and enjoy DCS you cant complain of slow and no action in AH

DCS is very pretty and fun if you prefer to wrestle your plane around the sky instead of flying it but plane choices suck.

You cant see crap and have no idea where the enemy even is..

You have ONE air battle after spending at least 30 minutes wandering around looking for a fight..

Though not as "pretty" .. for me AH is 1000x more exciting and enjoyable today than any other ww2 a2a online sim on the market today.

It is the best, we just need to convince 300 to 500 new players of that and get then 5o stay longer than an hour or two

The funny thing is, I enjoy DCS for the technical aspects of the flight, not the fighting.  I actually go through the entire pre-flight checks on each plane, through the startup card and and takeoff/landing checklists.  It's the sim part that I enjoy there. I honestly barely PvP.  I have been flying there with my brother in law, but he's an actual F-16 pilot....

Here, I just want to enjoy the fights, and not go through that much "simulation".  Unfortunately, I've found the arena to be generally underwhelming, versus the craziness that I remember.  It is simply my opinion.  Perhaps I will give it another go around and see if it holds up.  <S>

Last night some new virtual pilots stopped into MnM. They was all about it. I told them why not get your moneys worth out of your subscription.

I guess that applies to everyone in this community. Why not get your moneys worth?

Custom arenas with the quickest fights on the internet anywhere. Why would you not take advantage of that? If you spend a 1/4 of your gaming time in the Ava, a 1/8 in the SEA and 5/8 of your time in the MA it would only cost you $9.40 for the subscription to the MA.


Something to think about
