elusive quality that is missing from AH
« Reply #30 on: May 10, 2001, 02:59:00 PM »
The thing that is missed is that everyone could have an HA every single night... just log into the dueling arena and designate sides. Yes, there are issues, such as a historical map and scores, but if the immersion is the draw then it could happen. I have said many times before, if you show a need the need will be provided for. As yet, we have people who yell for things, yet once the means for addressing the needs are provided we don't follow through.

I see what you're saying, Greg. But I can't see how the scenarios are going to improve if people don't support them - they'll just fade away. Why should people give up their time to write scenarios if no-one turns up?

As for not liking being told what to fly - I thought the reason people want an HA is realism? I was under the impression WW2 was a military affair.

The reason I don't show up for the weekend historical events is because they are held at a bad time for me.

Same here really. Friday events are out for me (it's at 3am I my time, I think) and 8pm on a saturday night is a bit anti-social.   But if I'm online at the time of an event, I'll invariably join it.

"their tremendous service record in the war and all.....

Ah, the NEW (latest?) standard?

So oft repeated desire for the ME-163 should be totally ignored, right? After all, it had almost no effect.

One source (http://www.thirdcoast.org/featured.html#ME%20163) puts it this way:

"Throughout its career the ME 163 received credit for only seven kills and two probables."

If this is wrong, I'm sure the experts that even know Hitler's hat size will correct it.

So no Komet, correct?

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Yes toad, By that standard, more than just the 163 would be nixed.
