Game called due to lack of interest

What if country radar was broke out into sections and was easier to kill but also restore quicker than when a countries dar is now destroyed..

Have several separate radar centers instead of just one..

More targets for the strategic bombers and a way to kill awac silliness for a bit with it able to happen to numerous countries simultaneously..

Or have a 5 second limit on the clipboard being displayed with a 60 second delay between the times you can pull it up..

Good points. I want to address these two specifically.

A arena of 262s and B29s paying $25 a month each seems like it would be a good revenue stream.

Think of how many people would quit! LOL! I remember when they brought in the 163 and it was the plane the "Con" goers where allowed before anyone else could. That was back when we had good numbers and the MA emptied out very quickly. As it is now JG11 hunts my squad in 262 on our squad night and it just isnt fun dodging them all night. Id hate to see it more often.

I'm just being realistic about your family plan. I would need 4 accounts to play with my kids and $30 for 3 plus one for me would be $45 a month or close to $500 per year. I don't think many people would bite at that price when there's so many other FTP options. Even WoW has a FTP option and it was built on the subscriber model.

I think it would be very easy to police. All the accounts have to log on from the same IP. You have the master account plus the "family" Whatever IP the master account logs on from the other accounts need to log on from too. No Netfix problem with that.

There would have to locks so none of the "family" players could switch countries. On top of that it may even encourage more "Finetime" type players amd I dont think he could handle the competition to his "goatness"   


I would love to see a FTP setup, and Id be happy if it was kept simple, 5 fighters, a bomber or two and a couple vehicles as well as the M3 and goon. No need to rotate plane sets. You want to try one of the others, subscribe. Also I think it would be easier to code that way, no need to make it harder to do. As for family, they could use the FTP plane set for those times they join in.

Again this is all on Hitech. How much effort does he want to put in, how much time does he have on his hands, and would it be worth it to him.

Good points, ya, having unlimited 163s and 262s would prob not be a good idea. I remember one time 2 262s chased my perk mossie all the way back to a 163 base. (which I ran to on purpose) even thought i ran out of gas before I got there. One of the 262s bailed instead of flying th 5 sectors (or whatever it was) back to base. Maybe he was out of fuel. I upped a 163 and chased the other 262 down and killed it. There were only 3 players involved as it was non-peak hours but it was fun.

This all sure sounds like a lot of work.

I understand the logic but it still doesn’t help with the systemic problem of proximity radar. The benefit of localized radar towers has always helped defense. The implementation of AWACS has not only negated that tactical advantage, it has swung that advantage in favor of the attackers. In the MA, offensive operations generally start out more organized due to the nature of the game. Usually the larger group is attacking while defense takes a while to get organized. Since AWACS gives a huge advantage to the localized group with the bigger numbers, the advantage almost always defaults to attackers. This swing of the tactical pendulum is resulting in attackers much more easily swatting down anyone who tries to hold the line while begging for reinforcements.

The balance would be restored with the removal of AWACS and adding to the amount of ord it would take to bring down a radar tower. If finding a fight is the actual goal of AWACS, make it only available in the hangar/tower. In flight, only the radar towers should supply target information.
