Man...
Whatever I can provide you are blowing out of context. One of you says "trees and bushes don't block shots", one of us says, "yes it does, and here's proof", the other of you says "big deal". Then once we pin that down, we get the "AH has problems too" routine for a while. We're just doing circles here.
Whatever list I could provide for you, all of which would be true, you will continue to deny, minimalize, or deflect. You aren't discussing the issues, you are telling us we are wrong. That is annoying to say the least. Whether or not the problems we see there exist here is moot; if it bothers us there, it bothers us there, and there doesn't have to be a concrete reason why. See, it's the whole personal opinion thing. The way you are coming off, we are allowed to have a personal opinion if it happens to agree with yours.
I don't want to make you stop liking WWIIOL, like away. It is insulting to have you continuously suggest that players don't know what they are seeing or that they are just wrong. Yes, some people are mistaken in the things they think they are seeing, but there have been far too numerous examples of people conducting controlled tests that confirmed exactly what others had claimed. So the pattern is deny, deny, deny, minimalize, deflect.
Maybe you are right to some extent about the type of player that exists in AH, maybe not. I played for over seven months total, most recently for about six weeks this summer. I was never outflown in that time- in fact, aerial combat in WWIIOL is ridiculously easy. Killing is another matter, if you are Allied going after LW. Still, I can LW and rack up 6-10 kill sorties routinely, and saddle any enemy in the LW ranks until they run or die when I am Allied. Does that mean I gave the air war sufficient time to sort out what is fun and isn't, what is good and what isn't? I think it does. Frankly, your assessment of AH players that dislike your game sounds like elitist BS from my perspective.
You say you are not evaluating AH, but you are, because you are trying to convince us how much better WWIIOL is in comparison, even after you admit spending no more than a week in AH. Notice the absence of posters trying to convince you you are wrong about AH?
Finally, you act as though the three issues you just mentioned were the only negative things you ever heard about the game. Holy Cow! No, my friend, they are but part of a long litany of items, and it grows more tiresome to rationally explain them and their import to a person who is merely going to say, "Nope, not true", or
Big deal", or "AH has problems too".
"My" opinion is that WWIIOL is crap in its current condition, for reasons too numerous and pervasive to enumerate to a person who really doesn't care to discuss or consider the points. It is an opinion that is shared by several people, including most members of this board apparently, and it is a view I am entitled to hold as 100% accurate for me. It is an opinion that is shared by more and more members of your service, too, judging by the posts on your BBS.
We don't get a free ride for posting stuff that might keep people from trying? Fine. You don't get a free ride for posting blatant and false propaganda on a competitior's BBS. I will continue to post the truth, truth that by the way is easily verifiable by controlled tests by community members. You can continue to pretend you don't know about these tests or the results. Shall I post links to such tests when the question arises? Will the people here be able to discern who is telling the absolute truth and who is stepping over the turds in the path?
