Subscriptions

[Yarbles]

I still think this used to be the best thing ever !! Thinking of getting back into this but I am wondering how many paid subscriptions there are ? In my day it was close to 5000. How about now ?

Respect to the creators I hope it is not dieing form neglect

There's a decent fight usually when I  login at 8pm eastern...

If you don't mind switching countries you can locate a good fight somewhere

Give it ago..for $15 you can't go wrong

I have always thought AH is great value for money 

I wish High tech etc would put a business plan together to build it up again. Lots of players getting older with more time to play and it may have not got the latest eye candy but the model of flight and battle is second to none. I tried Il2 and DCS and they look pretty but need high spec PC'S and lack realism by comparison. What we need though is people not AI.

My only criticism was the "Brewster Buffalo". Somehow a plane of choice in AH but apparently rubbish IRL. Virtually every other model seemed consistent with history to a magnificent degree.

ZE has become quite proficient in a Brew. Don’t underestimate it when you see it.
Its all personal preference.

Saddle up, its still a blast.

Between 7p-10p CST, is considered prime time.

I came back to AH last January after a 16 year hiatus. I deleted my subscription last month on the 20th of October. Downloaded DCS and IL-2. Played both for about 1 week. Deleted both of them immediately and continued to play AH offline for a few weeks and came back to the MA a few days ago. The AH AI is fine for practice and experimenting with various settings but like you wrote, “what we need is people”. There is nothing quite like fighting in a good fireball with players willing to look after one another or a good, all alone one on one. Pure immersion!

Depends on what version and who flew it.

Hi YArbles,
Come back, this simulator still a good one with a lot of fun...
Regard the Brewster is the only plane I fly.It have many weakness but quite fun on close combat. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the one in the game is more related to the Finland F2A-1 variant designated Model B-239E.In the game have limitations therefore need to be carefull before be compromise into a figth...

Currently about 400-500 subs I'd imagine. Mornings to afternoon are about 35 online depending on the map. Evenings about 100. I think there's about 5 maps that could be removed that would do wonders to bring backs #s during the weekends. People just don't stay logged in long enough when there are far flights with not much battle action on a huge map with everyone spread out.

The Brew is fun plane. But its more for moderate to advanced sticks given it's speed. Or you need to get high and stay high and not get caught up TnB. Which is almost impossible in that thing. Just need to be prepared for constant defense ACM which takes practice. Still a pretty tough game, so just have fun and don't take too seriously.

Only HiTech knows the number of subscriptions.

Last tour there were 767 pilots with at least one kill or death in the MA. But of course, I don't know the number of multiple accounts, nor the number of players who paid but didn't play.

I paid for many years BUT HAVE ZERO KILLS OR DEATHS IN MAIN ARENA!!!!!!!

I entered once and left after a couple minutes.

I only play the big scenarios.... like the one in 2 weeks, for 4 weekends
