That sounds like a good deal of fun for a little while. Part of what makes AH what it is, is the human component. AI never goes to sleep. AI never runs for a beer, never gets mad, usually never misses, or if it does miss, its predictible. AI is gameable.
From the description of offense and defense type missions I take it that its going to be either fighters, or fighters slung with bombs. No bombers, no goons, no gv's, no captures, just plug a hole and fill a slot? I'm not trying to piss on the parade, but it just doesn't sound like much fun from that description. (not mine, yours)
Or at least not
years of fun.
Does that mean that AH classic will fall by the wayside and become unsupported while the few people that do work for HTC bust there kesters to get out and support the new product?
Does that mean that we'll get no more new aircraft for AH classic? No new GV's? I was looking forward to lobbying for a SdKFz 251 with 8cm mortar in the back or nebelwurfers strapped on the sides.
Maybe, just maybe I should read this whole thread before posting this because all those questions have been answered, all those opinions stated.
I mean like I had this whole new thread running through my mind for the last couple weeks about how to possibley improve gameplay and haven't gotten a chance to post it yet. About how cool it would be if we had like a couple of entrenched possitions around the town. Maybe a couple of medium caliber AT guns and a trench with mg positions and mortar emplacement. Maybe just some positions with rifles and bazookas or panzerfaust. And like how maybe you could choose your position like you do with gun mounts on bombers or even like you do when gunning a ship. How it doesn't seem fair that all those cumb drunks in the back of the M3 can't ever seem to get a shot off and that wouldn't it be cool if one of those suckers had a bazooka with him and that once in a while you could get a crack at them big meenie tankers.
And, I was remembering how we were promised some towed arty and that with the new bomber flight system that maybe we could do arty like that, take 3 or 6 of em out have em get in formation to waste a town or a feild. How cool would it be to have a Long Tom towed around behind that M3...
Oh well, I guess maybe I should've read the whole thread huh...
