How does one promote air combat, rather than a sleazy vulch fest?
1>Makes acks stronger, to limit the vulches, gives new flyers a chance to get off the ground.
2>Make HO's where only 1 pilot gets the kill, thus, in the designers head, discourages HO's.
This was discussed in beta by the designers. The purpose of AH is to PROMOTE ACM, not to resort to tactics of HO and vulches.
So, why don't you guys give HTC a break and let them design the game the way they intended to?
I have never seen so many whines of HO's, Acks etc. in my life. Here's the cure:
1> get away from airfields,you have the ability to fly away from ack-infested airfields.
2>Avoid the HO's, there are 20 ways to avoid them, USE some defense and avoid them, come around, and kill your opponent.
I personally get much more satisfaction out of a medium altitude, away from ack dog fight where both parties try for position rather than "guns hot" merge, than flying around low near an enemy airfield vulching the hell out of everyone.

Double A'men ... I recently gave up flying the C Hawg to try my luck in something else. I started flying the C Hawg because I was a newbie to ACM (always been a bomber pilot) .. and the leathality of the cannons helped build (false) confidence. However, learning to fly the Hawg to it's limits has proven to been a lesson in its self. No more HO's for me if I can help it. You'll find me dorning a new set of jocky shorts from now on..

Don't get me wrong, HO's will always be part of the game, especially when you are at an alt disadvantage, sometimes you have no choice...but if I had a nickel for every guy that had alt advantage on me in a spit, and went for the HO rather than the 6 shot, I'd be rich!

Nah .. I still suck pretty well.. but it is much more fun and enjoyable when you kill with .50's rather than 20mm (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

You are right, of course, Ripsnort. I remember hearing the exact same explainations about the ack before. (They are placeholders and prevent vulching.)
I too have been trying different planes. So far the 109g10 (no gondolas) has been a fun ride. You have to get close and shoot carefully, as you only have 150 cannon and 600 (weak) machine gun shells.
