I'm happy, I didn't expect the entire planeset of WWII to be done in a mere 3 years.

Good God thats Me! It's all so clear now, the releaf! Wooo Hooo I am "discontented", I download the patch got pised about the osty played with Me 163 loved it, got pised about the hoaky comandcouple on the Tiger piss por sight and said well what the hell it's not WW2 onlne, I play AH for the planes not the GV's, Flew the Stuka loved it, love the big bomb, got pised becuase none of the other German planes got anynew weapons load out's, flew the Kate loved it, woundered why no 800KG bomb, or no 60KG bombs got bumbed about about that,loged and went and played WW2 online. All in all a very emotional day.

Frabkly I have played this game to much, and I have expected to much, loard knows they bust their balls at HTC, I know this, yet I get bothered by the above things, I play to much, I expect to much.

I don't know why you are so surprised or bothered by all of us jumping on Sachs. I mean, since we are Allied Opportunists, we can only beat the Great German Hero of the Fatherland if we attack in swarms. Its a repeat of what happened 60 years ago.

Who says you can't learn from history?

Mathman, you know they were good only because they were stick stirrers!

Well... I was abit disappointed to. Actualy I went into a good tirade on the squad channel about the same ol GB I gotta fly in a hoard dweebie sh*& thats so common anymore in the MA. This was tied to the lack of new maps I quess. Then I went off about the lack of planes in this update that would at least add some difference in the late war rides seen so much in the MA...ie the KI-84.

So...I got myself a 12pack and drunk myself into a happy stupor. I then stumbled down the stairs..moning to my wife about how much life sucked and how AH has ruined my... oh yea, it didnt really.

The first paragraph happened...the 2nd did not. After I logged I simply fiqured I could A: find a way to enjoy this game or B: cancel my account and do something else.

No idea which way I'll swing.

I will say that despite my frustration w/the game lately HTC DOES work thier collective buttocks off. They have a great product Its simply a fact that not every great product will appeal to EVERYBODY.

Once again... yea..i screamed and kicked some cause I didnt get the world (virtual) the way I wanted. Then my 36+ yrs kicked in and I got over it ie see above.

If I keep typing will you guys keep reading my spewage?

HUN and Lizard hit it on the head. Many in this community really have no idea how good we have it here. If that makes me a cheerleader, well, I'm a cheerleader who has my eyes open. As soon as development and customer service go WAY downhill, or AH becomes too outdated or the gameplay too boring, I'll do the exact same thing I did in AW -- look for something else. Gamestorm and EA (with some assistance from the business decisions made by the Kasmei developers) helped kill the concept of blind loyalty for me in a game like this.

BTW, I liked how the B-17 could out turn a zero in AW. I guess they forgot to calculate drag, control forces and realistic acceleration when they were concentrating on raw wing loading. I don't recall that being fixed. And, as noted, the Jug - man was that a long burning issue. We're not talking some marginal 5% performance issue or a missing loadout that perhaps 5% of the community (being generous here?) places as a main priority. I'm talking something similar to a 109 being one of the slowest climbers in the game. I actually started to think there was an intentional desire to resist change with the jug because someone's ego just couldn't stand being wrong or something over a past decision.

And it is funny. For Sachs, what little was good with the patch (stuka) was LW, all that was wrong with the patch was LW related, yet there is no appreciation of the fact that we have a Tiger, correct bomb weights/metric, the ME-163, Arado jato corrections, as mentioned the Stuka... of all the good, playable fun stuff in the patch the LW seems to have come out rather ahead.

The list is long Oed

I was very happy to find this game, since I had become a malcontent of the highest order before I left AW. I suppose that underscores a point too. If something like AH gets you that worked up, burned out, angry or bored - why bother?Find a better place to hang your hat, a place more in tune with your needs, and start relaxing and enjoying the hobby again.

This is not one of those, "don't let the door hit you in the ass..." things. Just a personal observation of how I had wasted several years in AW when I could have been trying WB or AH and enjoying myself more.

I'm a little bit ho-hum about this release myself. I usually don't get too excited about anything other than new aircraft so 1.11 is a bit of a let down for me. BUT... thats not to say I don't appreciate the effort. Heck... I was satisfied with Aces High two years ago and consider upgrades gravy anyway.

Aces High is kickass! Each new release makes it a little bit more so!

Thanks HTC!

Wow ... I thought I would never say this. But damn guys...

Being a AH cheerleader is ok, no problems there. Hell, I've been a big proponent of AH, and have tried to do things for the community and contribute around here (as many others have). I've been to the last two cons, I consider each and every employee at HTC a friend, even Natedog

But this place is turning into a total "fanboi's" hangout, where if you disagree, its heresy. And.. BURN THE WITCH! BURN THE WITCH! Damn, I almost thought I was reading the IL2 or WWIIOL boards.

Yup this update sure is great for the CM's and the CT/Early War types, no arguement there. But the last 3 updates have totally focused on toys for those types of AH'ers. And please, don't point out the Tiger Tank or the Me163. Perk toys are ok, but are very limited accessibility for most people, and both are extremely limited in application by other things as well. Fuel limiters on the 163 (bet there were a ton of perkies lost last night) will make it quite rare, which is the way it should be. The Tiger? I didn't drive one, but if tanks are still being de-tracked by MG's you would have to be stupid to spend perks on one.

Guys that like the MA need a little bit of something to keep them going as well. And there has been VERY little of that lately.

So don't come down so hard on Sachs alone. Like I said, I agree with him. I'm disappointed as well. Of course that doesn't affect YOUR enjoyment of the game, so please... enjoy it!

But realize that for some players (probably quite few more than you realize, most are not willing to risk the wrath of the fanboi's), it really was more of a patch than an update.

Sachs has been griping like a 2 year old with a poopy diaper since his first post here about 3 ID's ago. Keep that in mind when reading responses to this thread.

Not to be disagreeable, but you forgot to consider the "Wow!" factor such inclusions create for players of "other" games. In such a mode one has to agree these were in fact excellent choices.

The real question is how many times has he threatened to quit? I bet ya got umm beat.....

Anyone remember his 1st post......... Wow that was a whine....

funkedup · « **Reply #89 on:** December 17, 2002, 02:33:20 PM »

Yes I think I remember his first post, and it still makes me prejudiced against him, even though he has made a lot of good posts too.

PS I QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!
