Never hated the MA. I do hate that awacs has ruined SA. There is literally a dimension of the game that’s be ruined because of the radar settings.

All true, but based on assumption.

Here's the main thing,... there are not enough players to buffer another change. Some players have voiced some like this current mode. So it gets changed, which please some and not  others. It's not 100% behind the idea. How many of those who don't like the idea leave, and will reverting back bring back those who left because of the last change. From what I understand, the group that pushed the current aren't even here anymore. There is no buffer for any player loss. Hell we lost 10 just because of one person's antics, that alone hurt the numbers in the MA. What please you and me, doesn't please others. Lose 20 players this time and just fold, that's 30 lost.

I'm all for the change, but I personally don't gamble, unless it's a sure thing. I agree with most replying here, but it can bite back too. <shrug>

Best of luck I guess.

Any chance Noobs have is being wiped away by vets using the same planes and tactics against noobs. Good sticks in the easy mode "noob" planes, don't give noobs in easy mode noob planes a chance because their plane isn't any more capable than a vets plane but the vet knows exactly what to do in the more capable plane to defeat the noob.

A noob does finally get a kill, and now they show on the kill messages with their dot on the map to easily identify and go after, leaving them even less of a chance since they don't know whose coming after them.


I think a lot of you aren't getting it.

How is it fair for a player who just got a kill to have their position completely given away, while the enemy going after them gets full mask to be unidentified?  Thus allowing them to set up an attack against the person who just got a kill?

If I know Lazer is in a P38 after he just got a kill. I'm now going to manipulate my tactics to prepare to fight Lazer in a way that gives me an advantage, where as he has no clue it's me to be able to set up advantage for himself, or atleast be aware to fly more aggressively.

Does that make sense?

Well, we've gone from changing one thing to changing two things, the list will only grow, and the least likely anything will change as it does. It's not that I don't agree, it's just pushing limits to success on ONE. Stay focused, one thing has better luck than 2 or 3 or 4 as the list grows. Changing announced kills will probably require coding, 2 new game exe and and a new install exe/update. I doubt HT is up for that.

I'd like those changes, but I won't hold my breath.

It seems to me that you've went from understanding this is a combat sim based on ACM to treating it like Call of Duty or some other addict-enabling video game.

Knowing an opponent's position BEFORE engagement is the lowest tier of concern in terms of a WWII, guns-only combat environment and one that has the lowest effects in terms of outcome.

At some point, your hypothetical noobs need to employ ACM. This is, after all, a pseudo-sim based on emulated physics. If you're losing simply because someone knows where you are, then you're just a bad pilot, all things being equal.

Case in point, today GEN went on a 20-minute, explitive-laden rant because he lost a turnfight to a lower TA 152 while flying his dumb Spit 9. He called me a "fkn hack" that "floats a weightless aircraft." It never occurred to the tard that something called "maneuvers" exist nor has he ever read Shaw's book. You can't fix this kind of stupid nor can you account for it.

Skyyr, when you finally burn out on AW3 and whatever gaming interests you pursue, consider a career in politics, or that of a lobbyist in D.C. I think you'd do well 

Sorry we haven't locked horns in the DA yet but my free time is mostly devoted to an older brother navigating advanced kidney disease & dementia. Perhaps some day.

You barely use acm. You HO, Ram, Pick, bounce, thats not acm thats dweebery. Acm my butt. You’re nothing more but a gamey gamer.  Most of all full of crap. Why don’t you quit chasing people off ya moron. Lol acm, whata crock. Get a life loser.

You fly into a furball shooting everyone who is busy with someone else. Any half baked clown can do that, hence, here you are. A full fledged puddle of vomit. You failed your second chance, you need to go.

You quite literally have a 0.31 K/D. You die almost 4 times for every kill you get. You died 4 times trying to vulch me last week. I made you lawndart by simply pulling a barrel roll as you overshot. You're ranked #427 for fighter skill in a game that has ~600 players. Let that sink in.

You wouldn't know what ACM is or was, even if Robert Shaw demonstrated it to you first-hand.

Now pipe down and let the experienced players finish speaking.

P.S. You lost to a simple rolling scissors here and ran for the next 3 minutes. Don't ever lecture anyone on ACM again.

Oh you care. Your only defense is to play a victim once you get called on your own lack of ability.

No i don’t you’re garbage, and you look like garbage you are when you do,… cry like a little child when you lose. You have zero class. You’re a HO dweeb. This is an adult convo. Go act like a wet pant child somewhere else.

You have hook in my mr. baby seal.
Seriously, your maturity is nonexistent. Small minded circus geek.

Now beat it, boy
Bahahaha, acm, you’re a HO queen

Bahahaha, acm, you’re a HO queen

So this was a HO? 

[perdue3]

In a world that is as large as the MA and only 50 people on it, you need to know where things are. My vote is do not touch it.

[Animl-AW]

Oh my. What us this the 7th time you posted it.
Dude, you have mental issues. You’re not stable.
Yet more proof of your immaturity gone bat-sht-crazy.

Skyyr: HO, Ram, Pick, Bounce. Garbage in, garbage out.

You’re so damn easy

Weirdo

It will get up to 110-130 at prime time. But still, I’m concerned about no buffer if it takes a hit.

Love the ideas tho
