Author Topic: How about a Rolling Plane Set? (Read 1555 times)

No no no no no no. Let me rephrase that: nope nope nope nope nope nope.

HATED that limitation in WarBirds and was delighted to leave it. Want access to ALL vehicles ALL the time. Not paying to be limited.

Having said that, it's an okay option for a separate arena. But never the Main Arena.

I say alternate the tours between RPS and all aircraft being available. That should make everyone happy.

(Somehow I doubt that.)
Variety is the spice of life.

"there are those who only fly one plane because they like to have an advantage and are unwilling to learn to fly anything else because their macho pride would be too badly dented if they were to be shot down."

Revin, half the time I have a hard time knowing what I think, but now I find there's someone that actually knows what everyone in this game opposed to an RPS is thinking. I salute you! You're a Hell of a guy....

As much as HTC innovate and try and move the game forward there will always be those with closed minds who just won't try anything new and resist any change, discussion's like this make me wonder if the mission based arena will ever be given a fair try or perhaps AH will always be stuck in the arcade MA furball mentality that is sucking the life out of AH.

You should not be thinking about how it would affect *you personally*

My god man...

How *else* are we to think of it ??

The RPS in WB sucked. It caused more arguements and squeaking then ANY good that it did.

The first week REALLY sucked. I don't like Spit 1's, 109E's OR Zekes....

Beet1e do you not remember the hordes of 109's in the first week ???? So it's an open arena here and not a WWII arena. You will still have is Emils everywhere. Are you getting old, losing your memory ??? Hell I rarely flew the first week.

Not to mention the last week when there was nothing but Ponies

How in the world is that a "better" idea ??

So if it's ok, I'll continue to think about how it would affect me personally.

I'm a Republican.

We tend only to care about how things affect us *personally* anyway...

You should not be thinking about how it would affect *you personally*, but of the AH populace as a whole. But then again I guess AH is for the *ME Generation* - and to hell with everyone else.

From the majority of the replies, it seems the AH populace doesn't want a rolling plane set. But then I don't think you want us to do what's best for AH but rather what's best for Beet1e.

Rolling plane sets suck, why should I be denied flying the P-38 whenever I want because you can't fight against Niki's or La7s?

Ack-Ack

Some people fly one plane because the other planes just aren't as enjoyable to fly. If I could only fly the P-38 when it became available and was forced to fly a plane I don't enjoy flying in the meantime, I'd cancel my account immediately. The rolling plane set was one of the reasons why I stopped playing WB and would be the reason I'd quit AH if it was ever implemented.

Well, you're half right, but I am not losing my memory. Sure, that first week sucked - for some like us - but others lived for it. I didn't like it because I'm more of a B&Z/jabo guy, and early war offered me nothing. That, coupled with losing half my ammo to WB netlag when the guns of those early planes were marginal at best made it miserable for me - and you. I never said that any RPS should start at 1941, or 1939 (the year WE got involved with the war - you yanks are always late). We could start at 1942/43. I just feel that it would be great if it wasn't 1945 every day.

Akak!

Now you're a very naughty little boy to be so cheeky to Uncle Beet1e. As a matter of fact, I was prompted to write this post soon after shooting a LA7 from my F4U-1D. It was that all too typical AH scenario. We (Rooks) had a CV near V3, and were launching jabo attacks. I started up with 2x1000 and 10 rockets, but of course - here comes a Bish LA7 that upped from A1 - all of 5 minutes away

He was a Royal pain in the arse, and I had to drop all my ord to get him. He damn nearly got me. There's no way for a F4U-1D to compete with a LA7 on equal terms, and that's my whole point. We can fly lesser planes, but everything has to stop when the LA7 dweebs decide to show up.

Revvin! I've been moonlighting for the Rooks this week owing to numerical imbalance. As you know, unlike some players, I am not happy simply to go to an enemy field en masse to vulch in order to boost score. We see enough of that. Best mission yesterday was bombing a knit vehicle hangar, and then going to A22 to help bluemako et al capture it. Hehe, I can almost hear Lazs wincing.

Idealy we would have a PAC arena and an ETO arena, both with rolling planeset, two weeks=one year .

After reading this thread, I've finally come to a decision about a RPS for AH:

My decision is that Otto is one funny guy.

Ack!!! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Run for your lives!!!

C'mon...nothing is sucking the life outta AH. If you have forgotten how to have fun, it isnt our fault.

Revvin · « **Reply #27 on:** August 17, 2002, 07:45:02 AM »

Who said anything about not having fun? you assume too much. I'm having fun but there is always room for improvement and suggestion, to not improve and stay where we are would mean AH would forever be the arcade furball sim. As for wanting to make you play my way...to hell with you I sit here and read thread after thread about people moaning about this and that and what should be done about it to make the sim what THEY want it and force me to play along.

Sounds like you're intimidated by the La7.

Hmmmm let me see.

WB's has the oh so wonderful RPS
AH has a *sarcasm-mode=1* furball quakefest arcade MA *sarcasm-mode=0 *

WB's has on a good night 120 people (probably less) in its largest arena and 60-70 normally
AH has on a good night 450+ people and around 250-300 normally.

Isn't it obvious which the community prefers?

RPS sucks. WWII arena sucks. Many of us here LEFT WB's and came here for that very reason.

No thanks !!!
