If that were true there'd have been no one here after the arena split 20 years ago.

Dude like 10 people come to the forums on the regular. The BBS posts have 0 impact on the #s. But we hardly ever see Polls in the game to measure anything which would be the best way to judge how the majority of players are feeling and what they enjoy the most and dislike the most about the gameplay. Here, all we can do is voice our concerns. No one wants the game to die completely, but there seems to be something yall are missing in your analysis which is why you cant figure out why #s have steadily decreased while you maintain that everything is just fine.

Excuse me?
We lost 20-30 during the skyrr, DCS sales pitches, your drama and Animl attacks era during MotA. We dropped from 160-200 back down to 95-120. Fact

Denial is s helluva drug

Louche numbers are right, but it doesn’t shiw MA number count at prime time

Your interpretation is skewed. You have nothing happy to say. Non-stop complaints about everything

Dude we did not lose 20 people over Skyyr. I’ve been back almost 3 years now and there haven’t been more than 130 people online once ever that I’ve noticed. You keep clinging to your anecdotal statistics that have been disproven by real data.

Yet you persist.

Pretty sure nobody born after 1995 knows what a forum is or even how to find one.

Take note
The very ones who thrive on argument deny the damage they do here
Shocking, I know

Correct, but we lost over 60 players due to Skyyr over 3-6 months after Master of the Air. Master of the Air was actually very successful but one guy with 3 accounts BnZing everyone in the fastest planes for 15 hours a day chased a lot of fighters off, I almost quit for good myself. I wouldnt be surpised if 2Cmex in his easy mode never loses E NIK with 4 cannons is doing the same thing with the amount of time and kills he gets per month. People just cannot compete and get tired of it.

Everyone just loves ganging so much not realizing how the other guy feels and if its even worth spending the time taking off again and those kinds of practices need to be considered because chasing away all of the fighters with dweebmode gameplay in easy modes is doing more damage than many realize.

Dude, i’ve been around thus stuff a LOT longer than you. By 2 decades. You’re over confident in your negativity.. you often speak in half-baked half-truths to justify a false point.

You wish negative upon yourself. You talk until you make it happen.

Maybe if you ever realized you can be wrong once in a while you’d be more happy.
You ou are consumed with being #1 every tour and if nit we get rants about the guns are wrong, the game is wrong and that’s why you’re not #1. Excuses.

Ya know ehy I have a hood time? Because I don’t worry about it.

My generation really porked things up raising our kids to think they are perfect all the time, no
Matter what.

Relax, getta grip

You’re human, get used to it

[Animl-AW]

What yas did was defkect from the fact I proved no fight found to be utter BS

Grow up for cod sakes
Pull your damn pants up

At keast I don’t post 70 political post of delirium that all get locked from compulsive repetition

You guys could f up a perfectly good train wreck, and do

Your reasons fir a 2 country death wish are moot, its BS

Eagker you constantly say stupid sht to me and I still try to help you. That’s what makes me an idiot

Woops there we go with the personal attacks on ones character because you dont have anything else to back up your claims.

Yeah, so we should conclude that the game is better off curtailing to someone who goes .07 in fighters, mostly in a  boring 190Ds just trying to relax with his friends, who thinks they think the current patch of the game is perfect, while the real fighters who are actually looking for competition and strategy in the MA with top fighter #s who really understand the map in order to be #1 at something, should be put down because damn those kids who want to be top skilled in something and not twiddling their thumbs flying aimlessly in the skie for 45 minutes before their first hopeful encounter with an enemy plane.

For the record. I still play Aces High the most because its my favorite WW2 concept and no other game mimics what the MA has.

No one is saying that there arent battles or fights anymore, but I dare you to check your kills per hour and understand that so many players today do not have the patience it takes for Aces High or even in most air combat games. I also find it a challenge to find action in other WW2 Sims that suits my style. Im not a huge fan of online server based arenas unless its vs AI like we do in DCS. I love the AH scoring system that changes every month giving new try hards a chance to measure themselves. I do think more fighter planes like the yak3, 109k and 190D should have their eny adjusted. I do think Awacs radar should only work inside dar rings. Change switch time to 3 hours. And remove huge maps that arent creating battles during off hours..

I dare you play at 2pm or 4 pm if you can. Help those daytime #s and build fights. See what off hours is really like.

There are just minor tweaks that could really help things. I dont want change the whole aspect of the game, but minor things that are easily adjustable with no coding needed at all really that could get more fighter pilots back in the game.

Oh and more really fun scenarios always are good. I think American vs german scenarios really do well.
