GET OUT OF THE NOOB PLANES

[flippz]

I fly them into hordes, and turnfight with them.  I have quite a few kills more in other plane subsets also.

I also don't fly in a squad that flys these planes and others like them timidly more often than not..

Kind of relying on myself..

Yeah for sure. I was with you one night against the horde. Was just saying you and cmex have excellent skills and deadly accuracy so you two alone can move the numbers. The rest like I said just use them for ho birds and to run once they loose the advantage.

Give noobs a big perk bonus for joining ?

Say 500 perks or 1000.

Oh the shades we would see…

Shades are extra $15s.

Mine has unlimited ammo too I've been told

Just replace the present system adapted to the now disproportionate number of long term-players with (20,000+ perks I should imagine) by putting a limited lifespan on perks. Then there'd be an incentive to those that want them which would balance gameplay.

Then you would really see timid flyers. I have always told folks to not worry about perks. Just fly and perks happen. They build in the background. If they reset, folks will really be all about the perk. LOL

The more experienced the player the more expensive (perks) it should cost to fly a late war plane..

ALL late war planes should cost some perks to all of us but the newbie subscribers imo..and they should not be cheap..

FWIW thank you violator for atleast standing up for the BEST part of this game all these years.  Wish I had more time to play. I pop in from time to time. Just isn’t as fun anymore. No one wants to go to the DA. No one really fights 1v1 they just run. I can’t be bothered flying 190d p51 etc.

The one thing that improve high-ENY planes the most is to get rid of the ridiculous AWACS-radar in AH today.
Not even state art AWACS have look-through mountain capability.

I flew ENY20+ planes 90% of my time in AH before they introduced the new radar, and had a good K/D in most planes I flew.
With the new radar it was either to stop flying the planes I liked, or get slaughtered vs good players in hotshot planes who never have to look around anymore, or even use the instant radar as a way of dog fighting, or as I did - I took my business elsewhere.
 
The Main Arena now is like a Satellite AWACS not even the US currently have access to, populated with WWII planes.

AWACS has been the single worst “upgrade” the game has ever experienced. I understand the reason it was implemented but the unintended consequences have made it a total failure on multiple levels.

Yeah, should be adjusted, and I just can't figure out the whole kill messages thing either. Like why should all anonymity be removed as soon as I get a kill?, especially with Awacs dar..

But, back on point. The Tempest should be used to enter hoards as a lone wolf like Lazer said. NOT flying to a field that's already being over ran by your team so you can help gang a field of defenders...

I'd like to see many of the other planes being used. Consistently the main planes I see in the MA are 190Ds, Yak3s, and Spit16s, with a rising Temp usage. With so many other types of planes, why not trying something a little more challenging? It will be better for the game overall.

Fancy seeing you around! Yeah, the lack of true ACM skill and ability to turn fight and get down and dirty is very sparce these days. Not sure why no one wants to take it to the next level and learn some important defense skills. Its crazy to me to see a Spit16 BnZ me and then fly away and not even finish attacking me. I see that all of the time in P51s and 190Ds so that's why I made this post to altleast see if I can get more folks to try mid war planes and fight in them and learn there is more to pressing X and BnZing to get kills.

I don't think plane choice is as much of an issue as the only-fight-in-numbers crowd (which was also made worse with AWACS).  Most of the players left only fight when they have at least 2-3 guys to help them.  Apparently flying planes and using tactics to counter that is also frowned upon...

So, at the end of the day, just accept the fact that nothing is going to change for the duration of AH3 and continue flying what and how you want.

Have to say I have only been back a week and like the new proximity info we now get.

Easier to find the fight and not get ganged or picked  .
