free 2 weeks and even more!!

idea take from here
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=959716#post959716

but, what if HTC can give fly all peoples who ended trial  on transport planes and gv's ONLY (c47, m3)

I think this can give peoples better learn game and for paying customers;) more targets. I know for fighters thats can be not interesting, but som peoples like to fly transport planes and help others. Noone of online sims have something like that.
And this should keep more players close to AH

Pyro?

Who's going to pay for the additional bandwidth?

Other wise it would be great. Imagine no more auto-ack at fields, all of them are human gunned. Would make ack behave a lot more real und more unpredicatable.

Actually band width allowing........... the C47, M3 option is IMO a very good idea.......

I would not allow access to field guns as they are presently set up.

They will still have an account number etc to log on and play........ this could be facilitated even when accounts are allowed to lapse


Ability to "Join" and gun may need to be considered.

I will not allow gun 5' guns for anyone who not pay;) its my worse nightmare, just after ostwinds:D

Gunner option for bombers and option join to watch will be nice.
But bandwidth is a problem. However  not so big?

And if we have transport rides for free, AH can be called "free" game:)

only problem is again whats to stop the gunner guy joining you and shooting down your mates :) hehe

I like the idea of free c47s tho. M3's have a gun so again they could do damage with no killshooter on.Things llike sitting on friendly base shooting planes as they spawn.If they are nothing to do with the AH community and a wandering gameplayer whats to stop them ? they wont care about 'consequenses'.

on MA killshooter will be always on, so M3 gun is not problem:)

for joining as gunner, we need much smaller pop up, and not on  the middle of screen;)

The right to vulch spawnpoints should be reserved for paying customers :D


IIRC for gunners there is no killshooter, bullets just don't do any damage.

I think its great.  I think the wimpy little guns on the m3 and the ltv transport should be okay.  if a problem arrises they can toss it out.

Very creative thinking there ramzey

if you let freebee's into the main to man guns ect... it will turn into the violent nightmare of the swearing name changing dweebs that are there just to cause mayhem and stalk others .

I saw this in Fighter ace 2 its last 6 months when all the arena's were Free...    we needed a perma squelch

As I understand it now.........you get a free trial for 2 weeks............ then your account lapses but you retain your account code and such for when you want to reactivate it.

You do not get another free 2 weeks (unless you go to the trouble of hunting down and deleting stuff).

Hence lapsed accounts (under Ramzey's suggestion) would get the C47 & maybe the M3 access.............. ( I dont think gguns and joined gunner roles would be appropriate)

Indeed if a VET fell on hard times and could not afford his account then he too could take up lapsed account rides...........

These are accounts and HTC can do all the things (ban, eject, cancel etc) that they can do with a normal account............

If we were to be afraid of account switching trouble makers then they would have no more access than they do now........... and be subject to the same  diciplines we enjoy........

Frankly I would be surprised if folk did not quickly open up full accounts ...................

I have freinds and relatives who would love to fly with me or on their own now and then. But cannot justify making an account for the month's worth of time they would fly during the year.

Give them something to fly in, to get a taste what it's like to fly with a squad and learn the comm system and such. -- they might later be convinced to upgrade thier account. I for one, would love to see the influx of transport pilots.

I don't know how many times I have orbited a base keeping a cap and then have to rtb or run out of gas just waiting for the damn goon to arrive.

BRING IT ON! -- Then I can get my Wife to come and play every now and then. ;)

and curreent you cannot do it?;) its depends from people

If somone like to cheat this way,  he allways can find way.
But for peoples who not like to cheat, and like to have instant contact with AH thats can be good.
They not must create another account to see whats going on arena. And can prevent form creating multiple accounts.
More if you stop pay for AH , you not loose your nickname

lets see on my second pc ... i get the freeloaders access ... i get to man guns . c 47s... hmmmm i get to set my self up to pad my own stats... wooo hooo im now ranked #1 in the arena ....

oh and theres the .join option .... hmmm now i get to watch myself fly on my other pc .... i'm now almost invincable ... If any of you have tried this you know what i mean ...

oh with my freeloaders account i can easily spy on the other country's chat ,missions plans ect .... duh my name is Candi and im a spy ..... hell the bish's dont have to even pay for their spy/stat stacker.

Really stupid idea you guys have going here .... sorry to burst your bubble but .... well it opens up a world of even more cheating then there is now.
