The way the game is so over modeled is incredible! Just get rid of all the other b.s. like towns, tanks, ships, ect... You really only seem interested in letting the old/senior members have any input to the game and have so overmodeled your program to the advantage of the fighters that it really is a waste of time and money for anyone to subscribe or play the game.
To much "good ole boy" attitude in the game and god forbid you ask some "squadie" for help!
Personally i think this game would benefit more if it didn't have permanent squades. Work squads the same as a bombing mission in that you would create them to perform/attack a specific target then disband and have to reform for another mission.
I write a local news paper article on internet gaming and have been playing for awhile now on AH1 and AH2, and i really see nothing to recommend this game to anyone. Just another case of to much hype and not enough delivery.

Wrongway your about 4.5 years too late sir!
Perhaps you would have enjoyed the early beta. But even then we had like 8 or 9 fields per side.
Have you ever really considered the consequences of your stated objective???
As soon as one side or another acheives a big enough numeric advantage they will capture/cap/vulch the enemy field. Causeing either a arena reset, or one side unable to fly AT ALL.
Has Aces High grown since the early days, yes indeed. And 99.9 % of the people are all in favor of those "new" features & improvements.
If your really not, see above post by dave.

umm .. dude, have you learned anything about WWII history in your entire life?
he** check out the History network if you are in that dire need of some learning.
IRL WWI squads were extreemly tight knit groups, bomber crews kept together until dead.
the only "create a group" were the huge bomber raids, even then the individual wings were usually WELL known to eachother.
go play your mechwarrior game or whatever and make "new" team every time, have fun, and develop no personal skills, or possibly friends from it.
leave the WWII sims to people who actually care about the history of the war.

OK, for "over modeled" what would you be basing this on? Real life fighters, tanks, boats? If so, having done all of these things some of these old time WWII historians would know your name, lets hear it!
If not, then you must be comparing it with other games, and the key word here is "game". No things are not perfect tho some real life pilots like the modeling. But some compromises must be made... beacause it is a game.
What you seem to be missing is the group interaction, camaraderie, and the friendships that grow with this game. You must be a ""newbi". A "newbi" is not just some "greenhorn" in the air for a few kills, a newbi is someone who hasn't been in AH for at least a year. This game tho playable in 15 mins of studing, has a huge learning curve due to all of the availible options you have. Not only are there different vehicles including land sea and air. There are different types of each group, all with there own differing characteristics.
So if you like jumping into some lazer equiped vehicle on some lost and forgotten planet to just run around and blast friend and foe alike, then use DJ's suggestion above. On the other hand if you want to learn the skills needed to succeed with any regularity then I suggest you join a squad, spend some time in the training arena, or just talk to some people about the game.
if you base your news paper articles on such short trials and obvious lack of research it mustn't be much of a colume, tho I've never read it so I shouldn't say.

Hmmm,
Is this post a troll?
If not then I'm missing something. :rolleyes: Go write something constructive in you're paper and try some of the other WWII sims out there before coming to conclusions.
Been gone for over a yr from ah, came back because the players and the game is the best bang for the buck.;)

It is very possible since this pro writer uses incomplete sentences, incorrect grammar and incorrect spelling.:D

The bait is bad.
The hook is rusty.
The line is old and brittle.

This is NOT a game you can download, look at a contol list the size of my index finger, and the beat the crap out of everything. I dare you to go learn game design/manufacturing blady blady and put out something that will get more players to it than AH after..what, three/four years?
