I think variety in MA would be fantastic..

From limited planesets to different dar ranges to alt caps..like Jaeger1 does in MNM but in MA...

Mid war Wednesday, dar change Tuesday,  etc...

Two or 3 days with different settings would help...sure can't hurt...

Made the mistake and switched back to knights last night as they finally had a decent dar bar...it didn't last 5 minutes and crickets the rest of the hour trying to find a decent fight..

Or reduce the maps even more and go down to two sides as the numbers don't support 3 sides and the maps these days imo..

Hurt? What if players dont bother logging in on the nights that feature these new settings? They just start playing other games on those nights which could turn into many more nights of just not bothering to log in to Aces High.

Please explain why you think this would work. You continually suggest this even though many of us explain that it will be a gang fest as most players will swap to the one side with the most players.

I had zero problem finding a fight. I had a problem staying alive.

You are not even on subject.
The subject is question in a single event. This is not about MA

Posting something 100 times everywhere will not change anything. its from a vast minority

AvA is empty.

I do, too.  Unfortunately, on many of those nights we would lose all those people who cherish a particular plane.  I imagine some subset of them would learn to fly other aircraft, but I can hear the outcries even now.

Increase the perk cost for all items by a factor of 10, keep the current "perk earning" calculations. No one needs 40,000 perk points, that makes the whole system irrelevant.

I think that would kinda screw new guys that don't have 50k perks banked. Why not just make them expire at the end of the month when everything resets?

There seems to be an ever-increasing number of players who rarely, if ever, attack.  I can only guess they are score driven players for the most part.

Lol the AH BBS self appointed Sergent at Arms strikes again... :aok

To answer fugi - Animl-AW permits it lol - yes if the paying subscribers as so analyze they would actually pile on one side and attack empty bases on the other side then yes the game lacks the maturity level I mistakenly thought it has...

All I know is 3 sides don't work now most nights..

Unfortunately it has been proven time and time again that the game lacks the maturity level needed to govern itself.

See players....

..... running and picking in jets, tempest, D9s and yaks.

..... one team ganging up on another with over whelming numbers. My squad is guilty of this and will crush a team when our numbers are up. We do however switch sides once 25% of the bases are captured. Most do not and continue to hammer a team until they have 40% of their bases or too many log off.

.....two teams ganging up on one team

.....five guys chasing down a single fighter

.....6-10 guys camping a spawn in tanks

Just a few things that prove that most of the players cant be counted on to "self police" and make a 2 sided arena work.
