Got home after hard day of work, all I want to do before bed is run a few tank sortie's.
Guess what, because there are 'to many rooks' on, I can't even launch a freakin panzer! I'm left to take an M8, Ostie or M16 to fight Tiger's and Panzers?!?!
There's only two tanks in this game, and I can't drive one because of all you unhappy people who can't keep your mouth shut about something as stupid as one country that has more people than yours.
I know what your going to say, switch sides! Why? Why should I have to switch sides? Because people were loud enough with their whines to get the rules changed? Why shouldn't I and others be able to whine loudly as well to get it changed back?
In the 5 years I've been here and all the changes I've seen this is the only change that has really pissed me off to the point of even starting a thread on this BB.
War ain't fair, life ain't fair which I've just been reminded of with this change, oh wait, I guess AH is fair now. Rediculous.
Just my thoughts and opinion,
BTW, this is my first whine, how'd I do?

Pretty good for the first one.
If you want the Bulgarian judges to up the score though you'll have to do more.
You need more caps and a bunch of nonsense letters like )(*@%)@)&^ though.
Threatening to quit would probably be worth a point all by itself.
Some emoticons would help too.
Nice work for a first time whine though.

You'll have to give him an extra point if the thread is locked as a whine.
Or if it is locked as flamebait or a troll.
If he gets a flamer to take the bait and THEN the thread gets locked, you'll have to add at least 3 points for picking the right pond and scoring while using low quality bait.
Oh, and we'll have to give up points if we cause it to be locked for joking.
And if one or both of us gets warned or banned for the jokes, he'll get a 5 point bonus, plus his score gets doubled.
If you look around and I ain't here, I'm either going to get my baseball and glove, or I'm already in the cooler.:cool:

I'd think the only GV that should be on the ENY "no fly list" would be the "tigger."
I'm actualy looking forward to the Shermie. :D

I musta killed a hunerd Red Hessians playin' Freelancer online t'day. Was supposed to be a CT mission t'night but fate porked us. Flew 2 sorties with squadies. Our three corsairs struck fear in the hearts of at least a half dozen alt monkies - only two of which were willing to make a high speed pass before they apparently decided there wasn't enough fuel or ammo to press the attack. :D

i guess the skully will have to educate you.
You log on, you account has been billed yet. "You can not access this arena Subscibe now?"
Note how it doesn't say
"You can't fly the P38. Subscibe now?"
move along.

BS b17 he pays to drive his tank. You mean to tell me if HT desides to ground all planes no matter what he should suck it up. Give me a break he pays to fly or to take a tank thats why we love this game so much you are able to choose what you want.

Increase the use of dramatic punctuation while removing all others. This will help to remove any semblence of sentence structure as the aim is for an enourmous run on sentence.
Liberally sprinkle pronouns everywhere with no reference to what or who you're actually refering to, toss in a healthy dose of horrible grammar and after all that I recommend you eliminate any form of paragraphing.
You'd have had a world beater here!

I wanna do what I wanna do when I want and where. I don't give a crap about anybody else, it my gosh durn 14.95 damit!
Is that a pretty good translation?
But yeah we need themn finsih that sherman, someguys dont fly at all they need somethign to do too.

Taken from the main page:
Superb graphics at high frame-rates in resolutions up to 1600x1200 and 32 bit color. View screen shots.
Advanced flight modeling of over 50 different aircraft from 6 countries. Fighter, bomber, attack, cargo, carrier, and even jet aircraft are all represented. A wide variety of combat options lets you man tanks, halftracks, flakpanzers, amtracks, amtanks, PT boats, destroyers, cruisers, carriers, coastal batteries, and anti-aircraft guns.
A comprehensive mission planner lets you organize or join other players to accomplish strategic goals.
A fully configurable 3D view system that is unparalleled in the industry.
Force feedback joystick support.
Built-in voice support with AHVOICE.
Built-in flight recorder and film viewer/editor.
Organized special events for the ultimate in team play, strategy, and historical flavor.
Apparently not if there is a number inbalance though, then the number is not as advertised. Maybe for skulls verification HT should put on the AH web page that you are paying for arena access only.

Cant respond in this thread without possibly breaking our updated rules.
Just consider yourselves flamed and we'll leave it at that.:D
BTW I think all GVs cept the tiger should be exempt from the ENY settings.
Alot of the best and most fun I've have in GVs was me alone or with only one or two other people against a ton of inbound GVs of all types.
I remember one time in a panzer on Pizza map I held a mass of GVs at bay for over an hour before a plane came in and egged me to death The only help I was getting was occasionaly someone was so kind as to drop off some supplies for me once in a while.

Probably because in all the advertisements you see concerning AH it emphasizes..
Over 70 planes, vehicles and boats representing six countries.
Never seen an add saying... access to an arena.
(or one that says balanced game play)

Don't pay your bill.
There will still be "Over 70 planes, vehicles and boats representing six countries" in the arena ... but you won't be able to get thru the door into the arena.

"Never seen an add saying... access to an arena."
I do see where it says explicity, "Aces High takes the art and science of vintage WWII air combat and sets it in an online high intensity environment where hundreds of players can battle it out with and against each other. High fidelity air combat is the heart of Aces High, but it doesn't end there. In addition to flying a multitude of aircraft types, players can also man vehicles, boats, amphibs, gun batteries, and ships. It's the most diverse virtual arsenal available to players in this genre and it's constantly growing through frequent updates. In the air, on land, and at sea, the battle rages 24 hours a day with participants from around the world."
And THAT is what you pay a monthly fee for.

Great Britain: 6.721
Russia: 5.856
United States: 7.521
France: 10.0
Greece: 7.420
Iraq: 3.215
Germany: 6.985
throwing out the high and low scores gives you a total average of..........6.900 on the 5 scores that count.
This one could have been better had he not wobbled a little on the landing and kept his sentences together a little more.

i would be Different if you could access the arena and not fly.
4150 you live in germany i think so you might not see the commerical which they run. Fly with other a 100 players in a 24/7 combat zone. orsomething like that. no Fly over 70 planes in AH.

Looks like you hit all the bases, even got a spelling error or two in...:aok
Seriously though I do think that the limited "plane set" does cause issues with Buffs and Vehicles...Tanks especially...but you need to look at the other benifits and the greater "good". As more GV's are added this will be less of an issue.

No I HAVE lived in Germany... US Army. I took the over 70 Planes information from a link right off the opening hitechcreations.com web page. (The one with the music playing).
I'd like to say I dreamed it up... I didn't.
I DID get to fly a JG27 Skin on a BF109F4 last night!
YES !
:aok
Now if we could just get the mottled desert camouflage for JG27... could a man be happier? (well let's leave the ENY part out of it)

Well, with all the camaraderie going on, wouldn't a message to the rookery elicit a helping response so that you could get in your panzer?
sounds like you got rooked.

Sorry had missed this thread.
We have a flame bait start, followed by flames.
