All I got to say, is I miss this game so much. It's a shame that it died. My squad mates and I went to World of Tanks when the game was still popular. I met some great friends there, some that I still talk to 15 years later. I wish the devs would just make it free to play so it could bring back more players. I miss having to wait to get a spot in the servers. Maybe one day...

It hasnt died ......yet   :cool:

We stilll have some great fights going on. I read this post, logged on just to check the numbers and ended up playing for an hour and a half.

jump in, the waters fine!

I miss the people. My friends and even the enemies. Having so much fun on vox with friends. I miss teh times before spliting up the main arena. I miss the "new" feeling of playing and learning about the game. I miss the times when HiTech was really invlioved and flew in the game.

Basically just miss the good ol' days  Fun times that we can never get back.... because, as they say, you can't go home. Home being a place in time.

Numbers are fine most nights.

If  only the maps were sized for the current numbers..

Or imagine if it were only two sides instead of 3..

This is the way.

We reduced the battle area in scenarios, and the action today is actually better than the old days even though we have fewer people.

Air Warrior maps were (in terms of AH sector size) 2x2 sectors.

Ah, the memories. Upping from BigRod or Fencer to kill rascals upping from Blue Baron or Kelton. I get the same nervousness/giddiness here but I do wish everything was squished together more.

I hope you guys mention scenarios from time to time in the melee arena.

Most players do not visit the message board.

It's not dead..

I don't know the name of the map but yesterday I found action hour after hour on the map defending from bombers, fighters, in a kill steak that ended up around 50 (I never once landed an aircraft serviceable to rearm) and, fun I'd not come across for 10 years. They fought hard for the bases and I fought hard to defend them, it really was the good ol'days today.

That map size was perfect for high levels of game-play and experimentation in that game-play; several times I got the Me262 I was flying under 200mph flaps out turning with something.

One thing is for certain, if you don't play and be apart of the fight bringing high quality game-play with you, you'll never see the day of;

LWOrange 302/300
LWBlue 64/300.

There are enough numbers in the evening (8pm est and later) to find a decent fight, you just have to be willing to switch country to find it..

With these numbers, 2 sides instead of 3 would be awesome imo

30+ flight (90+ plane) main arena escorted B17 missions. Great high alt firefights happened in the old Main. The old dot dar added to the suspense.
