So here's my whine. The only reason to have an airforce is to effect the events on the ground. You don’t have an Airforce to gather perk-points. In the tactical sense-AirPower supports the GV's and men on the ground. You need both working together to win tactical victory or the Battle. To win the war…you must effect the strategic landscape as well. In WWII that meant heavy bombers bombing strategic targets. We have all of the components FM's and GV's to make this work…WE NEED THE MA RE-WORKED. GV's should be the only units allowed to conquer and occupy bases. GV's would be murdered without proper aircover…etc.. You get the point…GV's plus airpower wins the bases. Then to win the war. Each country has a set of strategic targets to bomb. If you bomb them-this would effect the availability of a proportional number of both GV's and planes. Kill a certain % of strategic targets AND conquer a certain % of bases …then you win the war. THE END-RESET MAP. The only place for the mission arena would be to apply the above but on a historic plane-vehicle-set and say not to have fluid game play but a series discrete missions-but all to accomplish the same thing as the MA. Two good strong arenas-one Fluid, the other featuring Discrete Missions with Historic plane-sets will balance the numbers nice…we wont need that damn giant pizza map anymore. Finally, ditch the CT and most of the Special Events (they mostly sux) and you got a winner!!!!!!!!!!! AH will reach its potential under this new system.

you whine all the time whats new

I'd like to reiterate's Wotan's sentiments.

You are a pain in the arse in game, and it appears you are a pain in the arse out of it.

Ditching the special events would lose a significant proportion of AH players - people who long since lost interest in the MA hamster wheel. Moreover, despite your assertion that most special events 'sux', many people enjoy them hugely.

Ironically, your inane channel 1 banter does AH no favours when it comes to new players - and it is they who contribute to AH's success/failure.

The man who a month ago didn't know what a padlock view was, is now experienced enough to declare that AH is a failure?

I agree that something hasn't reached its full potential, and it isn't AH.

Hey....flame me and all but they laughed at Columbus. BTW, to you Euros and the rest of you. Our economy is 100% free market. You have a better product-you win-usually at the expense of others. This ain't Europe where fat bureaucracies step in and fund bloated inefficient companies-then Tax the hell out of the winners and re-distribute it all. So the "Darwin" nature of our economy means that you must stay one step ahead of the other animals our they'll eat you. Its hard for you Euro's to step out of the box and be innovative and all……I understand but please keep your angry, petty, mediocre thoughts to yourself. I love the FM's here and think the gamplay needs a little re-work that’s all……also as for channel 1-in my country we have something called "free speech." Buy a book and read about it. You have the squelch command………….

28Sweep pays his $14.95 a month s/he is entitle to their opinion. AH better do something to reach its potential very qucikly on 02/15/03 five more and exciting new MMOLPG will hit the market.

If you want to be a big dog act like a big dog otherwise you will always be picking up the other big dog's droppings!

AH is failing? 300+ a night would disagree

Who said AH is failing? The numbers online are huge compared to
WB's or AW3... Just because one person is disgruntled the online
flight sim community is falling apart!!
Your just bored sweep take a break and go fly in WW2online and then you will come back with a new appreciation for AH... Enjoy those 5FPS when you get with in 1K of another player! !!

"Hey....flame me and all but they laughed at Columbus."

People still laugh at Columbus. We seem to easily beat good teams on the road like the Islanders, but then we lose at home to crap teams like Nashville. Even with the #1 pick in the NHL draft, we are still struggling to put together 3 good periods of hockey.

Oh, wait. You weren't comparing your revelations on AH with Christopher Columbus' trans-atlantic voyage, were you?
