Chinese servers, side switching and prime time
« on: June 05, 2021, 04:05:27 AM »
I like the side switching thing but sometimes it seems like I'm getting switched every couple missions. Anybody else getting that? Maybe it's the time of day I play.

Speaking of time of day. I usually only get to fly during the low numbers and recently have been able to be on a bit more during prime time hours and must say it's been a blast.

Wish there was some way to get those people on the other side of the world to play when the sun is down here. Didn't I hear something about a Chinese AH server or something? Maybe that' where I need to log on to in the middle of the night.

Weren't there some guys in this one Japanese squad and they only fly Japanese planes in the MA live near Japan or South Korea? Like on a military base? I wonder what their ping to AH servers in Texas is.

I play with 100 to 120 ping. Its been bad lately, so I can't play. Get disco'd all the time. Nothing on HiTechs end, just my internet.

Just don't say the "T" word...  :D
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Yep, I'm not a great flyer but one of those guys owned me a few times in a Zero when I was flying a Spit14 or Spit16 or something. Good sticks.

You just never usually see a Zero in the MA if it isn't a CV focused map or such. I think his name started with an R, and was like "oh a zero, easy pickin's" only to get my plane shredded apart.

Good lesson in cockiness that day  :D

Are you guys going to pony up the costs to run the servers overseas?

Most likely AH is blocked in mainland China because of the Japanese planes.
