Post by: Azrael on April 30, 2000, 11:19:00 AM: Let's keep it short.

Is A1 fun?

IMHO no.

Post by: ra on April 30, 2000, 02:23:00 PM: A1 is the welfare check of all airfields. People think they want it, but they let their life fall apart trying to keep it. I say flatten it (the whole mountain), and have more V fields in the middle of the arena for tank fights.

Post by: CavemanJ on April 30, 2000, 03:03:00 PM: A1 is a curse on which ever country owns it. I've seen it w/ the rooks, and again with the knights. Everyone goes to defend it, even if only 3-4 bandits are inbound. This leaves all other fields open. And then everyone defending A1 wonders why they dinnae have radar anymore.

I like ra's idea of flattening that mountain and adding in a few more V fields

Post by: JFalk on April 30, 2000, 06:32:00 PM: thing is, if you want to win you need to have ownership of it, otherwise that country will just hang on. Also it is great for attacking the surround targets.

When the rooks had it for the first few weeks we never lost, now we are regulated to a small corner of the map

Post by: Azrael on May 02, 2000, 01:54:00 PM: Well, I assume the meager response means that most people are either happy with A1 or just don't care about it.

Although I'd like the idea to put some vehicle fields close together in the center to get some tank fights. Add a less rocky terrain that elevates just enough to give visual shield between virtual 'roads', move the vehicle fields close enough together that tanks just about spawn in the middle between two vehicle fields (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Post by: funked on May 02, 2000, 01:59:00 PM: I don't fly from it, don't fly to it. IMHO an airfield at 10,000 feet is silly.

*POOF* goes my suspension of disbelief.

Post by: Sunchaser on May 03, 2000, 03:56:00 PM: Azreal, I think A1 is a useless waste of map space.

I cannot imagine why HTC put a field that high unless it was to see what response or lack thereof it would generate.

I never fly to it online and during the few days we controlled it never bombed from it.
It requires too much suspension of reality to consider that field of any use whatever.

HTC, please get rid of it and put a few of the interior fields up a bit.

Naaaw! Would remind me too much of the 308!

How about a blow up doll (complete with tethers in the likes of an air blimp) of Rosanne Bar? Or Rosie "get rid of all the guns except the ones that protect me" O'Donnell?

Post by: JoeMud on May 03, 2000, 10:04:00 PM: Lets rip out a1 and that mountain and put a big lake in the middle with 3 ports 1 for each country and when we get boats....well there ya go.

Post by: Dinger on May 04, 2000, 03:19:00 AM: We all know A1 is just a placeholder for the next version, when they put in the SFX.
Then the durn thing is gonna go active, and the airfield will sink into the caldera of the -- CANO!

A question: does AH currently have a "64 field limit" or does it just seem that way?

I like the idea of having a nasty field in the middle of critical strategic importance, but given the dynamics so far, it is as CavemanJ said, a curse.

Post by: Citabria on May 04, 2000, 06:05:00 AM: a1 forces the fight up to 25k+ which sucks

Post by: Fatty on May 04, 2000, 02:18:00 PM: Even though I hate having A1, I like the fact that it's there. If we (bishops) get A1, and in doing so throw common sense out the window, and get reamed because of it, then I think it has added to gameplay (admittedly more to the rooks and knights than to bishops, but all the same (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)).

I vote for keeping it.

Post by: lazs on May 04, 2000, 04:31:00 PM: Hmm... I really like it. I hate climbing to alt. Nothing less fun IMO. A1 is the closest thing to an airstart. See a lot of fights at 10-15K because of it.
