Ya because the YKW and V stunt and allowing the DCS sales booth setup was so helpful we lost 30-50 players.

Kills me how some in this thread whistle innocently, using every creative insult formula except that one. Just giving us “helpful advice” in shutting down even trying, every chance he gets. Prime hunting ground post for scavengers.

hubris copious

The numbers are having problems because that stuff was allowed, period. One only stopped on legal issues, which the other two at the sales booth encouraged and took part in.

Who the HELL would stay apart if something with personal data crap going on?

And if you can't fix that, you should stop wasting your time chasing new players and put all your energy in to re-accessing those former players.

They are used to the graphics.
They are used to the gameplay.
They are used to the subscription model.
etc.  They would be your lowest hanging fruit.

You just have to figure out what would it take to entice them back.

Is there a combination of changes that could lure you back?

Not for you yo skim, nope! Do your own work

Lol please - tell me how talking about DCS made the game lose 50 people. Or Skyyr being back for that matter. Show the evidence.

Don't make me make and link another air refueling video. It's very challenging for me in the F-15E. My Zen just ain't there yet, oooooommmm.

I have to interject also DCS ww2 has a small fraction of the numbers AH has at prime time. WW2 it is very small potatoes. Wow 25 people in 4YA ww2 is a busy night and then for about an hour. Typical prime time say about 16. Also as Animal says no prospect of future development. Its very much a sim not a game.

I didn't think there was more then a handful of people that had left AH3 for DCS. I used to run into AH players quite often when I played IL2. It seems more players would go there then DCS.

IL2 & AH are like siblings.  DCS is their nutty, lab-coat wearing Uncle.   :airplane:

Good way to put it. AH is more like rugby, DCS is like golf. But not they are not in a good spot. Its like a cavity, you see a black spec, but under that there is much mire wrong. What they admit to is the black spec. Its on a time clock now.

Didn’t Trips have you there? How much money did you waste trying it?

Problem with DCS, beyond their financial situation, its a money pit, and its justifiable investment is questionable now.

During MotA/YKW era, I watched 8-10 get sucked into the inflated banter here. 9 of 10 returned. BUT, they bit that shinny hook and spent 1 yr sub here to try it just to find it is not as sold and didn’t like it.

So not only did we drop numbers for a time, it grifted hard earned money from our brothers ( and sisters) hoping they could save their own 1000s in investments in DCS. They are not looking out for you, they laugh at you as fools to even listen. They mock AHers while selling them horse crap at every chance. These are grifters who want to get the AH pop when it dies. Or kill it taking them. Which is stupid, they are no where near the same audience.  Who ever panders to them of bite their hook us a damn fool.

What these DCS guys do here is WAY beyond ban in any game forum. Evidently being from TX cancels normality.

That's actually a very insightful analogy and kinda describes a lot of the dynamics.   :salute

Of course there is. You prove my point in your every post. Didn’t you two girls spend the whole day holding hands trolling here?

You guys spent too much time in games successfully avoiding maturity at all cost.

Your existence and antics here is disrespectful to actual paying customers and volunteers who help bring that money as a byproduct of interest raising numbers, allowing you to create room disruption in attempt to skim from the free efforts.

WW2 in DCS can be super boring, especially with no action showing on the map. I like Ghosts Dsmned VF81 servers becasue atleast there's some AI and map icons to help you get into action. The fights feel a lot slower in WW2 DCS and the planes feel much differently. While the immersion is there, the "fight"  just isn't the same as AH. I find IL2 to be more similar to DCS. Same sever type setup, but no pro-longed war like AH. Either way, I sorta enjoy the "cartoonish" look of AH more for WW2, the special events are great, and the MA is just so unforgiving and "natural" for the most part, but I feel I get better fights there for WW2 all around.

Jets, are a whole different thing and different feeling so I cant compare with AH.

Flight simulation is a small community and it takes years to learn fundamentals. Everyone just have to find their game and what they enjoy the most. No one says you only have to play one...

At the end of the day, they are all money traps, that's what hobbies are  :rofl Just have to enjoy it.

I love racing, but you are always bound to the track.. thats why flying is so much better  :D
