Hardware and Software / Re: Recommendations for Gx card $500 range +/-

Might want to look at the 9060 XT too. It's between the 5060 and the 5060 ti. The 16gb version is around $60 more then the 5060. It has double the vram and is supposedly faster across the board especially at higher resolutions but weaker in ray tracing.

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Were ack accuracy increased?

Was this perhaps a continuation of the discussion about the mega ack structures “Fire Bases” (F bases)? When doubled, passing between two together, I have yet to get through without losing at least one B-29 to some form of damage, fuel hit to center and therefore not enough to make it back to base being most common up to poof, gone…

My loss of bomber perks is considerably unbalanced; most are lost to these Mega Ack bases instead of to players…

Don't we already have this?

All I did, was take a short 6 year break and Hitech erased the 70,000 fighter perks I had saved up. 

It's an outrage! 

YEah tell me about it

I have the RTX 5060 and I'm real happy with it. No complaints. Although I will say the graphics in AH isn't as pretty as MSFS, Xplane, or DCS. But I reckon that's more of an AH issue than video card issue. I've had to tweek my settings more here than DCS for example. I don't play many different games, but the few I do engage in, I run at max setting.

"Kicking" players has never been a good idea. After all we are trying to get them IN the game not out.

The idea has nothing to do with kicking players out. What was suggested was to remove inactive players from the ENY calculations. Tower sitters would still be tower sitters, but after a certain time they would no longer be counted toward ENY, nobody gets kicked.

TBH, this whole eny-whinge is taking the wrong tack blaming afk players.  The amount of afk players is small and will not affect eny at the times its most needed.

The better solution, imho, is to revamp the eny and maybe obj values, particularly for GVs.

I do believe the idea was pitched above. But ok.

Crowded spaces are safe until you insert diversity into the mix..

There is a relationship to the amount of diversity applied to the expectation of safety these days is something you have to be aware of..

See UK and Europe as to how that ratio has changed in recent years..

Just kicking people would be the way to go if they’re in the tower. People will fill ack guns for sure to avoid it though so some sort of fix for that but either way people find any way to take advantage of things.

"Kicking" players has never been a good idea. After all we are trying to get them IN the game not out.

Just a thought
The more people see high numbers in the MA, the more likely to login to play.

I wonder if kicking people instead of just not counting them after time would effect the number count that seems to draw some into play. Numbers breed numbers.

Example;
Lets say most people may not log in if under say 80. If it boots tower sitters who wait for their choice of action to happen, and it brings the count down to 70, would that not affect who actually goes in to play?

Probably a feeble example, but ya prolly get my point.

It's just a thought, some may have a different POV, but I dunno about the kicking stufff, for that reason.
