How's the MA looking these days?

[Kruel]

Any good fights? Thinking about dusting off the old LA7.

Not like the old days but it's still fun. I just came back about a week or two ago myself. I'm enjoying it a lot.
I would say most nights logging in there are between 70 and up to maybe around 100 players.

[Molsman]

Come on Back the Water is Warm,,,, yes there are nights that are slow but Every Friday night that there is an FSO numbers jump to over 100, plus some other nights close to 100, Fights are fun squads still do missions and squad nights ,, in Sea2 there Is Monday night Madness where it is all Dog-fighting no Ho's  then Thursday night tank Night which  range from 10 to 20 players

So yes this Game is still fun to the certain Crowds who are to Have fun,,, Plus LTNS Kruel

Well outside of Euro time 

That's my thought when I come across the occasional "still plenty of action all the time" posts 

(For the record, it's late afternoon here and there are 22 players logged in. No idea how many of them are actively playing)


But of course I still have fun with AH. I'm clearing up my heaps of data and working on my AH scores database

Its unfortunate more Europeans or Japs dont play in the off hours to boost the #s. There could be some good fights there.

Not that I think it would really make a difference, but Aces High III is no longer available in Steam store for people from Germany, probably due to the lack of an age rating.

I heard that Germany even bans images of planes with historical paint jobs...

Nope.

Nope.

So now I have no clue why do so many games scrub the historical tails of the German planes.

Some places over to the east of Germany have the same thing with Communist symbolism. Especially the Baltics.

Because a) it used to be until 8 years ago when you simply could not get any USK ('Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body') age rating for any game depicting such symbols.

And b) it still can be. Swastikas in video games can be legal today, but not in general. In essence, the regulations for video games have been adapted to the long-standing practices applied to films and similar media:  It's allowed only within the context of a socially appropriate, historically or artistically justified depiction.
It is probably easier for the publisher to omit it entirely if this context might not be clear enough in the game.
