House Keeping. We need to start with house keeping. We need to make the game fun for those that have been here. The constant double teaming during prime time is killing the game worse than any one thing any one has mentioned. Folks that have only a few hours every few days to play doesn’t want to either fly around shooting at ground guns in a 25 eny plane during prime time hours. As well most people will not log on to up against the horde for their few hours of entertainment to get their skull bashed in by the circling vultures that normally run at the sight of a co alt plane.
Which brings me to the other thing. The piss poor fights when planes are coalt. The arenas first move from 2k out is to go nose on and ram ho on every merge (if they merge). Then you have the runners that will literally run 2 sectors to avoid a 1v1.
The amount of folks that literally close the game for bad game play would put 200 additional people back in the arena if game play was decent.
Last week I logged on three nights in a row and just watched the map, about thirty minutes each. I also changed countries to see from the other sides. Normally there was a group of planes circling an air field daring some one to up while on the other side the only planes in the air was 2 guys resupplying the ack. How is that fun for anyone? The morning horde is atrocious as well. When I’m on most guys won’t even fight them. And then of course the other country get in on the rolling of fields.
We could do better and with a little time we could get some people ack in the game.
This is all true but always was in my opinion.
Changing the way people play is as easy as herding cats imo.
However, yes it's frustrating so I spoke to people I know who I believe do know. They say.
1) Don't merge in way you can be hoed.
2) If your chasing someone over 2 sectors I guess you are in a turnier plane and they are in a fast one or you would have caught them.
3) Practice SA if you don't want to be ganged.
4) Trying to take bases creates action when there isn't any especially when you work with others.
5) Suck it up
then try and get better
Same now as ever. Some people getting loads of kills and others crying about it and saying the killers aren't playing nicely but coming back for more. That's my experience as a returning player except everyone is a bit more polite and mellow than they used to be.
My K/D is 0.4 since I am back it used to be nearer to 4 . The thing that has changed most for me is how many people have learned to fly the P51 and P47 in a way that they will and very often do take on a turnier plane right down to the deck. The overall standard is allot higher
