I stretch my fast D9 until I get 1500 ahead of the front guy, then loop back and HO the last guy in line. Once I did that 3 times in the same chase. :)

Diesn’t always end well but I’m taking someone with me. Sometimes I even escape it after.

I think the arcade looking maps were running back to back, maybe he separated them.

I hate to say it, but #s are looking pretty weak. Barely getting 100 now, and last night only about 75.

Message boards appear to be going the same way. I used to enjoy the lively discussions here, but everything that seems to get a lot of interest and lively discussion seems to quickly get locked these days. I'm pretty much given up on posting anything of substance as I always get attacked by the same 3 people (that I've ended up putting on ignore) who also seem to enjoy using the report button, even for stuff that is not a legitimate report.

Still hoping for a miracle but not holding my breath :)

Paranoia is not your friend.

The only posts being locked are 98% political.

You tend to post a passive aggressive negative form. Kinda like now, has nothing to do with the subject

It started in November 2006:

(Megathread https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,193413.0.html  )


In that tour, the plane stats showed 5400 scoring pilots, nowadays it's slightly over 600

Yeah, bud.. I checked out the old thread,  took a screenshot of your comment here, and shared it in a related discussion with our bomber group. It's a foreboding thought.
I surely miss our little bomber/fighter firefights up high once upon a long time ago.. <S>

Many of the changes made have driven off much of the player base.

Haven't seen or heard anything about a map rotation change but I would very much like to see it. The maps between Mindnao and Oceania need to be spreadout. Its all the big maps within 7 maps of the rotation and its too many big maps almost in a row. This creates a very slow 1-2 weeks of off hours gameplay depending on how fast or slow they stay up. Some of them like bowlMA can stay up for atleast 3 days.

I don't use fighters in this game almost ever. Strictly GV's or buffs, and I am that one who will try and avoid being bombed by hiding my GV under trees until someone gets bored, and I am also one who likes high alt bombing.. This game is an open world WW2 simulator, no one has to like what others like or do what others do.. There aren't any games like this setup with a map and game arena thats always on and changing..until I find that I'm here to stay.

You are the king of locked political posts. Yes you find more fights here because you troll for them. You are habitual. <shrug> Rule 14 Eagler, you’re not special. That chases players off too. They don’t come here for your political preaching. Get over yourself.

There are only 2 big maps left in rotation, BowlMA and Buzzkill..... err saw  :D I hope Hitech drops them when he brings in the new maps that are coming up... in 2 weeks.

Buzzsaw was up this weekend when I had some personal time to actually have a gaming session.. I flew a couple sorties and logged off... decided to paint a storage room instead if that says anything...
