Does Anyone Like Anything?
« on: July 31, 2026, 01:50:48 PM »
There’s no shortage of threads on what everybody doesn’t like. What about what you do like? Don’t get too many of those.

I like most of all of it. There’s not much that I really would want to spend a lot of time complaining about. I don’t play long enough and there’s not enough people to matter.

My only current complaint would be to do with maps. It’s not necessary the size of them. That’s the problem, it’s the layouts. Maps with giant empty spaces in the middle or only one or two bases are just not serviceable for the numbers we have anymore. I’m someone who won’t follow a hoard in my country and if there’s not much going on, I like to go mix it up with the other two. Right BW1stpar?!! Haha :cheers:

Other than that, I have a great time pretty much every night. There’s a good group of Rooks that I like to fly with that are pretty fun and chill. I’m not sure how it is on the other countries, but Rook side is pretty relaxed and there to have fun. I would say most dedicated Rooks are win the map kind and do not take it too seriously. I just like to play and help out wherever I can.

At least that’s my experience. Everything here is pretty subjective to the user.

It seems to be mostly good nights.   I am still here after all these years.

 Ndisles2 last night still suffers from the V4 problem if your country is booted off the island.   Jimmy is aware of the imbalance so I am sure when time permits, he will fix that issue.

I would also like to note that several game problems have been addressed and solved this year.  So thank you Aces High for caring.

Yep. In spite of the game’s deficiencies. It’s still the best $15 I spend per month after decades of subscription. I can still strap in to the greatest war machine  (even if it’s imaginary) of the era and test my degraded skills against other humans doing the same.

I don't h ave much to complain about either, I love the game, and I think over all we have a great bunch of players in the game. Yeah we all have that one off day every now and then, but its not life changing or game stopping. Over the years I have had the privilege of flying with and against some wonderful people, and still do. I'm on the game around 2 to 5 hours a day, a lot depends on if I am working on a new map, updating and old map, or fixing some issue on an existing map. LOL, there have been times in the last 3 years I had Hitech, pulling his hair out with map issues. :devil

Dadtallica, I get what you are referring to on the open spaces. At the moment, thinking of Grinder, I did try to add some options to the center Port/CV islands, time will tell if it was a move in the right direction. :rock

Only a few maps suffer from it.  I’m up for any maps that can give good opportunity for three country interaction. Maybe cross-map spawn points so you can get deep in the territory by ground? Do countries always have to be aligned in the standard three triangle pie chart? Can the areas be more fluid to create the bands of all three in close proximity?

That’s something I probably should’ve mentioned in the OP now that I think about it… our digital cartographers are probably the most unique thing about this game. Hats off to them, where would be if they were not?

ND is one of my favorite old school maps. There’s always pretty good fights on it. I think it’s also one of the better maps that can keep action moving.

Agree with Dadtallica and others, current numbers don't justify big maps. I, as well, have fun fighting with and against all players by air, sea or land. Learning from all. I wish more young blood can see the beauty of this game and participate more.   :salute
