HO's was just a huge waste of ammo in AW with maybe a 5% chance of getting a hit and those were with planes with HO shot bonuses (planes with nose mounted guns).

Ok.... lets use a common currency for our comparisons.

For Australia:

50USD is the literal equivalent of 15 MacDonalds meals.

Also somewhere close to also 2 weeks of food money for 1 person.

I subscribe to AH, because it fits into my price range. As it stands, it is worth nearly 5 MacDonalds meals.

A single real life flying lesson cost about the same as 43 MacDonalds meals.

Signe me up for 1.03 at 29.95.  The FM would keep the kids out.  It already did :)

BTW. Toad.  Please make a film of you putting a fighter into a flat spin.  I would like to see this realism.

I'll have you know, we had as many as 60 players at times.  This would be another game, or arena.  No reason for anyone to quit.

I think a "special events subscription" would be ok.

We need more bandwidth and maybe a better server.

10 bucks if you sub to the main

14.99 if ya dont.

25 bucks is till cheaper then the 30 we paid.

Now to get the arena rude described would be worth paying

Quote
more for a different arena with larger maps, more strat targets, etc.? Or who would pay more just to seperate from the gamey, HO, channel 1 insult laden MA?


50 bucks a month maybe a bit much after all we dont want an empty arena.

Ok, easymo, will do.

I'll make a film of an AH 51 in a flat spin if you'll go rent Crazyhorse (dual control P-51 down in Florida that gives rides and instruction) and make a film of a real P-51 bleeding huge amounts of E in a simple 2G turn the way the P-51 bled huge amounts of E in AH 1.03.

I'll send you mine right after you send me yours. Deal?

Oh, and while you're up, film this one for me:

Quote
After the split S Lee took the controls and pulled vertical for a half vertical roll, pulled over the top at about 80 knots and then a half vertical roll on the downline and while we're still going straight down he says, "Dale, it's your airplane."


This is from a "debrief" by a guy that went up in Crazy Horse; link below.

I don't think you can do this even in 1.03+; I KNOW you couldn't get anywhere near it in 1.03.

A pony whine. Been a long time since one of those. :D

My nik bled E like it had a drag chute attached.


That reminds me.  I always meant to ask.  Is it true that your Indian name is, Runsscreeminglikeagirl.

dunno 50$ is alot i'd pay another 15$ (back to 30$ total)

I try to keep my total net costs per month under 100$ and this wouldn't help :)  But i'd pay more is the point .. because well I have before.

And MA ain't that bad... "don't tell me this town ain't got no heart .. just gotta look around"

AH is an exceptional game, but 75 bucks Canadian, they'd hafta throw in a free week end for two at a resort spa complete with mairrage counselor.

Pizza map would be something with 100 players wouldn't it:)

I wouldn't pay $50 regularly.  I'd probably fly a month once in a while...   My interest in AH is already at an all-time low.  Thats normal for me, every so often I kinda "take a break", however jacking the price up to $50 would simply make that break really long lol.  There's too many other things to spend $600 a year on in life than any MMOG.

Prices on everything are expensive enough right now.

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would post a thread wanting the price more than tripled.:rolleyes:
