Actually had the urge to play....
« on: July 08, 2003, 10:11:11 PM »
this damned game for the first time in a few weeks.  So I take my walk, have dinner and a beer, log on and at 7:30pm pacific PRIME TIME.....

Yes, the sun in the MA had just set behind the horizon.  Played in the milky red stuff for half an hour and logged off totally unenthused.  Hell, it hadnt even gotten to the stinky black ink and that stuff is an absolute waste of time.  Not even worth a free game IMO.

It will probably be another two weeks before Im tempted to actually play this game again.

I think the time is ripe for a cancellation, unfortunatley.  Cant remember when the last update was (9 months ago?  a year ago?  when the hell was it?).  Folks I play with are just plain tired and HTC is so buzy with AH2 vaporware (remember those screenshots) that AH1 has become a relic without a cause.

Id say the HTC folks need to get on with it here pretty quick.  Im sure your AH2 will be "the deal".  Needless to say your about to lose this subscription pretty quick just out of sheer frustrated Boredom.

But whatever..........

for the LOVE OF GOD.  Make the game playable for me.  Kill the twilight crap or at least speed it up to a 5 or 10 minute elapse between good decent daylight.  And scrap the night altogether.

It sucks.

I agree, the game has lost it's fun factor, I haven't played in long while prolly 4 weeks.  Everyonce in awhile I will poke my head in the DA, not much fun to me otherwise.

Its the same with Quake,,, go figure.

Its the "gaming" of the game that makes it boring, the suicide queens the perfect game boards the fly die fly die stuff.

Lets face it vulchig is fun, sometimes suiciding is fun but after doing either one 2-3 times its just boring and when you log off the game because you're bored you really don't feel like logging on again.

Yeager I agree the twilight nite thing sucks. But...

Don't tell anyone I told you this but this week there is a "sweet" matchup in the CT.

Zekes, P40's and Hurri's.

A few sorties in there with those planes. Chitty guns with ALOT of flyin followed by a KILLER canasta card game and bingo.

Put a smile on my face..

Good old fashioned fights.

But if you tell anyone I told you, I'll deny it..

It's ALL about the fight..

what he said

personally, I can't see how anyone but a newbie can handle more than 30 minutes in MA these days - reminds me of the old FFA room in FA 1.0. Sad that good/experienced sticks buzz around killing seals who don't even know how to set their views let alone have developed any SA or ACM's.

to each his own ....

ps

night should be eliminated or cut to about 5 minutes, another good thing about CT nite usually doesn't exist at all in there depending on the setup.

I agree that night should be scaled back to 5-10 minutes....But what is really missing for me in AH is..

1)Each nation that fought in WW2 should have at least 1 fighter,1 bomber,1 tank,1 recon vehicle and1 vehicle/Aircraft troop transport.

To me,considering the number of pilots we have from different countries,AH has not covered all the bases.

The best thing about Ah gameplay is their CV's....Add more of them plez!!!!

The only reason i leave my accoutn open are scenarios. MA and the hole setup is a waste of time and money. Scenarios and the work around as a XO keeps me active. It was fun in the MA but i get sick after 15 minutes in game. Ill wait for AH2 before i decide if i cancel my account completly.

That's why I've taken to flying the clown-tailed Ki-61.  It gets no respect and is fightable against most planes if (a) you've flown a 109, (b) you know the weapon ballistics, and (c) you realize that the Ki-61 is a screamer on a downhill run.  You can get a lot of perk points in a short amount of time with it.  I figure the Spitfire IX, N1K2, LA-7, and P-51D are crutches for the new guys.  A real pilot flies the Spitfire V, Yak9U, 109G10, P-51B, FW190A(x).  The really good pilots fly the P-40E, Ki-61, 109F, and F4U-1.

I used to complain about the night, and then I learned that the F4U-1D has this big plate glass gunsight that acts like a IR scope.  Same with the M16 assault vehicle.  Embrace the darkness!

Assuming you are not due an equipment upgrade, setting up your monitor correctly does wonders.
