Maybe I could do something really wierd like join an allied squad and fly for bishops?

Any brave souls out there? 56FG? 13TAS?

The most important thing to avoid burnout,
never force yourself to play the game if you don't really want to.

Halflife and it's assorted mods are always a good way to waste some time.
Besides DoD(Note the exclusion of counterstrike), there is a relativly new mod called natural selection. It's something like a cross between avp(minus predators) and starcraft.

thx WT.. I have the demo and it's a kick.

Formul1.. yawn
I prefer Nascar for realism, except I get bored going in circles at times.

If you find yourself burning out, take a break. It's what I'm doing right now. Haven't played AH for hmm, at least a week now!

Grun, you are welcome to fly P-47s with my squad. Maybe the change of scenery will do you good. Look us up in the MA, a few of us are on most nights US time.

But having experienced AH burnout myself, I find the best remedy is decreasing the amount you play. In severe cases, cutting yourself off from the game for a couple weeks/months is necessary. Do anything else, preferably not another WW2 flight sim, and AH will become fun again after some time away.

If I get bored playing AH it's becuase I have been playing it too much .

But that's just me .

Fly TOD with my squad.

Hey Sancho!

I just might do that. I think I am looking for something different rather than just being sick of flying too much.

how can you.....me I never almost never fly the same plane......do 1 or 2 sorties...then GV's....then ship gunner.

I diversify my gameplay......go to DA with squaddies....soon will be in CT.....Buff's(even tho i really suck in em)....NOE missions..but only with squaddies.....chase panzers and tigers in M8's......bla bla bla

stop doin the same thing......

you would be welcome in the 56 FG.

saying that, why not start a new hands on hobby like building scale models? I really enjoy it:)

Nomde · « **Reply #41 on:** January 21, 2003, 02:40:45 PM »

I build RC planes myself, excellent way to relax

Grun, you'll welcome into the 56th anytime bro.

I need it for sure after two days looking for the hidden Azura's Shrine (not the SE one).

BTW, this game is really worth a try. The best I've seen after Flash Point saga.

I despise AH, HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT... but if I stopped playing it I would have to much time on my hands.. so what am I going to do instead.. read no way lol

Fly events. Just events. TODs (both), Snaps, CAP, Scenarios, CT on the "scored nights". MA only when you need to get a fix. Join a squad that flies them, or even better, form a squad that flies them.

How about an "event" JG of some kind? (I say that because I know you like LW iron). I guarantee you will have fun Grunherz.

I went that route in Warbirds in 1998 and never looked back. Same medicine has worked for me in AH. Even after 6 years of event flying I still get an adrenalin hit when I see an enemy bomber formation below, I dont get anywhere near that kind of feeling in MA, no matter how many bases get captured.

Cheers
