thinking about reupping the sub for AH
« on: March 05, 2026, 03:47:31 PM »
What are the numbers like on any given day/night?

Any easy air to air targets or is everyone super elite now?

Still a mix of skills for the most part. No where near the people of old but if you liked the game then you will like it now. Not much has changed otherwise.

USA prime time hours from about 7-10 EST it’s 100 or less Mon-Thurs and less each of the days. By Thursday the max is usually 75-90. Friday can get up to100-120, same for Saturday and Sunday. I haven’t seen over 130 in a while.

Outside those hours it’s probably half that or way less.

Elite? No. Lazy? Yes. MA is populated primarily with Yak3s and Tempests. Few pilots will fight without numbers and altitude advantage. Radar settings favor the horde rather than defense. Two teams ganging on one is the norm.

Still…a fun fight can be found once or twice per week. FSO and scenarios are still fun.

That's too bad about people not wanting to fight one versus one. That's the worst part about how the game had been going for a few years. Oh well.

Drop $15 and see for yourself...

Suggest between 8 and 11pm eastern..

If you're willing to switch country you can still find a decent fight most nights..

Agreed.  I've had no trouble finding fun.

I'll have no issues switching countries. I'll just be poking around by myself.
