I would pay more $$ to be made immune to ENY effects. I am ok with the increased ENY perk penalty.
I just want to be able to fly the right tool for the job. And I will pay extra $$ to do so.
When can this happen?
-
Yeah, that's the 'answer.' Perhaps along with buying perk points or purchasing rare field modifications. Or ... perhaps this game deals with no purchased advantages (or immunity to disadvantages) for everyone. The slippery slope you fail to see affects the whole community.

He doesn't care because the OP is only interested what is good for him. If, like me, isn't affected by ENY because of the plane I fly, he wouldn't have posted. However, since his skill level is dependent on flying fast, late war planes because he can run, of course he's gonna cry about ENY and demand it be changed.

With as much as you post in the forums I am surprised you get any time to fly at all.

That promotes your idea how? :aok
-
Just as much as yours did.
Money talks, roadkill walks. Hoping that appeals to HT. Id' pay a higher subscription rate not to have to deal with ENY.
If everyone is doing that, or would vote for that, then it's still not pay to win.

I'm not promoting your idea. Your idea sucks. But that's ok. Lots of 'great ideas' in the wishlist do. I'm patient. You might have a winner someday.

$50 per hour seems fair. :D

Back in the day, that's what it felt like I was paying to play AWDOS on Genie.

AWDOS on Genie was before my time but it sure seemed that was what the early BigWeekers paid from what was posted there. :D

Air Warrior was another great sim to expire. I cut my PVP air combat teeth there.

Have you considered returning? They probably miss you.

*Sigh* Sad thing is I think you might have been serious. Going to file AH along with AW and call it a day.
After taking a new look at what's available I have found another that even has a Linux client. I don't blame HT for giving up one whit after seeing the competition he's up against. I'd be deflated too.
-
The problem with your proposed model is that it disparages against those who have a lot of cash against those who don't. Like War Thunder - that's Pay to Win. And it sucks donkey balls.

personally I think the $15 bucks is barely worth the game even with NMY turned off. I think if I had to pay extra just to get by NMY I would simply give up on this game and move on to something else, which adds to the biggest problem facing this game ... low player and subscriber count.
I pay $15 bucks a month mostly to fly with my friends and to fly Corsairs and that's about it.
Most of the few friends I have left that plays this game pretty much only fly in FSO and maybe hit the MA right after FSO and that's about it.
I use the bowling doctrine to justify the expense. I get about as much dollar for dollar fun playing aces high as I do league bowling for which I pay about $20 a month. However thanks to Covid most bowling leagues are going to be down at least until spring 2021.
I've been playing AH since beta the longest break I took from this game was when I left in 2012 for another game and the fact NMY was a real PITA even back then when we actually had some numbers.
NMY is still pretty much putting a damper on the corsair flying as of late, and no matter how much we whine beach and groan we can't get HT to do damn thing about it. It's been a problem for over decade and it's till here and he still doesn't care. We do not have the proper tools to rebalance the arena other than logging out.
We can't just switch sides because the NMY can and does sometimes follows us to the new country and once NMY stabilizes you have to wait to change back ... so if squads or buddies show up they either need to switch sides to your new country or you're just SOL. In 2011 the Country Change Cap was 12 hours I believe it currently 6 or 2 hours when it should be less than 30 minutes if it's on at all. However we are still limited to long waits between country swaps ...... The reason given was the same reason we lost cross country coms .... spies.
No really! here we are in a freaking Dying video game we pay $15 bucks a month for and people are worried about spies, And the joke about that is everything done in the game to stop spying is easily bypassed by simply taking it out of the game.
Cross country coms gone .... No problem just use mumble skype ventrillo teamspeak facebook messenger zoom .....
You really want to put the spying BS to rest How about this ....
Make a publicly viewable Facebook group called "Aces High Spy vs Spy" and dump screen caps of the map and strat info on it as well as mission updates. Want to know where the enemy carrier groups are go check facebook.
How much do mature paying customers have to suffer because the community as a whole has to act like 8 year olds and can't seem to grow the Heck up?!
I figure as soon as Covid is under control I'm probably going to go back to bowling as I don't have NMY values forcing me to use my Columbia U dot over my Storm Fire on med to dry lanes, and honestly there is even less here now to keep me in the game then their was in 2011 .... most of the player base is gone now.
Even if this game truly is the spiritual successor to Air Warrior it does not need to die like Air Warrior did.

Expense? 15 bucks a month?

HT posted this on another thread.
I am running a test with ENY side balancing disabling.
Will see what happens.
I am fairly sure I know what will happen but will see.
HiTech
Personally I think turning it off when numbers get to low for it to be viable or setting the time between country changes to incredibly low like under an hour would probably fix the worse of the NMY problems with the least amount of effort while still keeping to it's intended purpose of balancing the sides.... But hey at least HT is looking into the problem.

$15 for a McDonald's cheese burger is expensive - $15 for a Tahoe Joe's Steak Dinner is a bargain.

I tipped the waitress 25 bucks last night for serving our table. Was my wife's birthday.
I guess it is how you look at it.

Happy wife's birthday, Shuf. :)

Not when you can eat one any time that month that you want one. Every day that month 24/7 and all for just 15 bucks for the whole month.
