Title: Good Old days
Post by: Bucky73 on May 30, 2007, 01:45:43 PM
Is it just me or does it seem the MA is going downhill? I remember when it was possible to find a good 1 on 1. Anymore it seems that you either have to join a horde to possibly get a shot on something or you get ganged by a horde. This game seems to have turned into more of arcade game.:(

Lately I've had much more fun in the DA then the MA and that never used to be the case. I'm not sure if it's because we don't see any big maps anymore or what but it quit frankly is boring to play now. If you do by chance see a single con away from a horde it's usually because it's a new fella that doesn't know what he is doing yet. It has become VERY RARE to find a good fight and it's a shame.:(


What do you think vets?

Try MW if you want 1v1.  Sure you may not be able to fly your uber plane, but no one else can either.

I am usually in the MA, but have had a great time padding someone else's K/D recently.

Two things in play here i think.  Lots of new folks on is the biggest part.  School being out has brought the summer influx of kids too.

That being said, the fights are still there.  I had a blast last night.  It is interesting how many new names show up on the kill message though.

I don't think it's any different then last spring however.

MW is great but usually the 10 people that are in there are only there to milk run. I don't mind "flying" high eny planes...although I do use the D-pony alot in the LW arena. In fact when I go to the DA I usually "fly" 109F's 99.9% of the time and I have MUCH more fun in there.

May I (once again) suggest the MW or EW?

In the early days of AH, 60-100 players online was a big night. There were many nights where we all had a blast with 30-40 players online. Of course, back then those 30-40 would be actively looking for a fight rather than actively hiding from a fight. :)

Still, you can have a great time in MW or EW. Odds are that even if you favor a particular LW ride, there will be an earlier variant available that so that flying won't seem too awfully different than your LW fave.

It only takes a handful of folks looking for action to make a great night in EW or MW. Give it a try!

If the action is slow, you can always go spoil the milkmaid missions that are going on as people struggle to make their uber squad number 1 in the rankings. :)

If you really seek a 1 on 1, the DA is your best bet.  Or even helping a noob or two in the TA.

You can also sometimes find a light ant trail with a base to defend at the end of it.  1 vs a few, at least until the rest of the horde migrates there.  

You may find a few good fights in EW and MW, with their lower populations.  Might be more like you were used to years ago.

Though not strictly a 1 v 1, the KoTH events are fun.

As to LW and hordes.  You are better off if you get a mini-squad or fighter sweep going.  Alternate between lead and wingman, and the pairs helping each other out.  Work around the edges of a furball (the middle being a free-for-all).

Running solo during the real thing in WWII was a good way to get ganked for real.  Not surprising to see similar group behaviors here too.

Try it at about 6-11pm CST all you need is 4-10 people in there to have some of the best fights youll ever have. If no one is in there go in and sit in the tower while eating or something. Good chance someone will show up to see what your doing.

Post by: Patches1 on May 30, 2007, 03:05:27 PM
Bucky73...

consider the times you fly...and then...study the map....

LOOK for a fight...don't just follow the hoard. There are many fights to be
found by watching the Map.

Just my 2 cents...Good Luck! I hope you find that which you seek.

I do think it is going down hill a little bit. But if they would make 1 arena with Axis Vs Allies it would be much better:aok  

I friggin hate going around shooting down allied planes when im already a allied plane. Grrr:furious

If they made it 1 arena with Axis vs  Allied ... they would go out of business.

If your tired of the LW BS ... check in the MW and/or EW. I pop into the LW every now and then ... and after 20 minutes or so ... I leave ... can't stand it anymore. I'd rather do H2H than the LW.

I might have to check out the AvA arena, but as noted, I look at the numbers at the login screen and there never appears to be anyone in there.

You can thank Hitech for the horde. Yeah I said it. Moving the airfields closer together, ENY, fuel porking, arena splitting, smaller maps and the abilty to change countries on a whim, has turned this game into an aerial shooter.
 When was the last time you saw the map won? Use to happen all the time. Now if you bomb a fighter hanger you have to hear about it on range chan. Guys fleet park, not to capture a field but to have a small furball in the "blue planes". Now it is all about score.
 Use to be guys would pork a base's fuel to limit the amount of bad guys that upped to make for an easier capture. You would get a group of pilots together and you would go and capture base after base. It was all about conquering the map. Winning. Now it is all about pillaging and plundering. :aok

they already have this arena, its called AvA in is just a couple selections down from the LW arenas. Of course it is not very heavilry populated.  HT has already said that 3 countries is how the Main Arenas will stay because its the best.

3 or 4 years ago it was much better in AH. more people wanted to fight. If that meant getting a group together to attack a base for capture it was ok, because others would up to defend it. Now most people are looking for the easy way out, sneak a base here, run away from defenders there, heaven forbid any one make a stand and fight !

Post by: Simaril on May 30, 2007, 04:06:23 PM
Fights are there. I find myself nibbling at the edges of the hordes...find a fight on the fringe, or get someone interested enough to chase you out away from everyone else. I've done that lots the last few days, and I've had fun after reversing for a nice 1v1.


But yeah, lots of new names. Sometimes I'll be flying around and realize I don't recognize ANYONE in vis range. It's a strange feeling....

....but then, maybe they're all vets and I have alzheimer's kicking in!

LOL!!! CYA !

Battleground Europe use to be called "WWII on line". but so many people were burned by them and jerked along that they had to change the name to bring in some new suckers. Have a nice time! I hear Warbirds is awesome too !

Here, I'll provide free ForrestS to English translation.  "I really think Battleground Europe is a lot better for noobs.  It's similar to Aces High II, but is a lot less realistic.  It's pretty much exactly [sic] what I want.  If Aces High II doesn't start getting more retarded, I'm going to take some of my equally illiterate and immature friends with me."

Goodbye, ForrestS!  Don't forget that you're one of the two players permanently banned from Blue Sky, since you repeatedly broke the rules, ignored warnings, and harrassed the host after being kicked.

I know this might be a silly question but do you know what the range the guy shot you was at? Also, what type of shot did you provide him with? Were you turning at the time? I don't normally fly the N1k or the La7 but they do have wicked guns, especially at close range.

Thanks,

Actually, I've taken to firing single shots if I am close to the target and behind him.  It improves my gunnery.  I tap the trigger, and only one round comes out.  Just yesterday I did this to an Me-109 who was floating at slow speed and low gee in front of me, and with a single cannon round his wing came off.  I knew that damage models in Aces High II are very weak, but I didn't realize that "blew my wing off with one bullet" was literal.  I'm sure I can replicate it easily, if I have a cooperative target who will let me get close (or a green pilot who will unwillingly do the same).

Since you asked.  Last time I fought you, you and a friend jumped me from on high.  If you really wanted a 1v1, you would have had your friend stay out. I suspect you want a 1v1 when you are defensive but when you are in the advantageous position you quite happily engage w/ numbers.

Please....how do you know it was my friend? Could have been some newb that don't listen. I'm constantly asking people to stay out on range. So, until you know all the facts don't go throwing accusations out there....I'd be happy to DA with ya to get some 1v1's I'm not saying I would win but I would be happy to give it a go even if it is to pump up your super uber cartoon fighter pilot ego.:D

I rarely recall ever seeing you in the MA...apparently you aren't looking hard enough because I think most rooks would tell you otherwise. I do however recall you in a hurri2C just about a week ago (i think it was you) and we tangled in between 45 and 41 over the water. First I was in a 109F....which is a GREAT high alt plane and bnz'r (which you guys seem to be implying) and then next time I was also in a hurri2C and we tangled for a bit until one some of the horde got involved and I ended up only getting an assist....WHICH is my point of this post.

I suggest if there are further accusations that you guys back them up with film because anybody can come in here and make stuff up.:aok


btw....the brief time we did get to fight 1on1 it was fun:D

Think you can still get a decent fight in the MA now and again, but the MA is what is and you have to take that into account when logging on.
You'll always have the guys who make one quick pass then ran to the port Ack or base ack, you'll always have gangs of spits/Nikkis/Lgays at 1-4k lurking around and you'll always get guys tackling buffs from dead 6 position.

Here's the difference between you and I.  I could care not one iota what you post about me, especially since it's so obviously far from the truth.   You care because you know I'm right, evidenced by Hub's supporting post,   and are trying to hide the hypocricy of this thread.

Yes, a post from a guy I've never heard of and a guy that I hardly ever see makes an accusation and you think I'm gonna just sit here while you post your "i'm so great" threads like you constantly do all over the bbs?  Again....I don't even know who you ARE?!?!  I could give a flying crap about you but, your constant thread hijacking is getting old. But here if this helps.


Wow, that Stevebailey dude is the best cartoon pilot i've ever seen.
(you can quote that on your future post's to make you feel good.)

I was trying to ask a simple question and you post some-(hey, look at me i'm the man) post and ruin it for everybody. So, do us all a favor and go browse for porn or something but stay off the bbs unless you have something constructive to say.:aok

btw...I'm through wasting my time with you so go hijack another thread.:aok

If you've never heard of me, how do you know if you hardly ever see me?

Get a grip dude, argue with logic or  stay away from the keyboard.  You are becoming nonsensical.

Try to focus a little, I was replying, in context, to your original post.  It's simply not my fault if you don't like what I typed.

I offer you the following:  find one, just one post where I claim to be great at this game, or even among the best,  and I will retract/edit all my posts in ths thread.  Just one post.
 

If I contantly post these threads how great I am, surely there must be some evidence. Find just one post.

I didn't think so.  Stay high in the horde, this 1v1 stuff doesn't suit you.

Lately I've had much more fun in the DA then the MA and that never used to be the case. I'm not sure if it's because we don't see any big maps anymore or what but it quit frankly is boring to play now. If you do by chance see a single con away from a horde it's usually because it's a new fella that doesn't know what he is doing yet. It has become VERY RARE to find a good fight and it's a shame.:(


What do you think vets?




I simply made a comment on the MA in general compared to say... a year ago. I didn't ask if you approved of the way I "fly"

You point out one incident (which must have happened because you say so-although I still have never even heard of you). How do you know that I didn't ask this so-called friend of mine to stay out?? How do you know it wasn't some newb that just decided he would join in?? Fact is You DON'T!! But, yet you throw crap out there like it's fact. NICE

MY POINT IS THAT YOU RARELY CAN FIND A 1V1 ANYMORE...

try to keep up now....
I shouldn't have to ask everyone on ANY side to stay out of a fight but, that's where the MA seems to be now IMO.

It's a simple question.....Not asking your opinion of me or how I "fly". So, who is the one that is "nonsensical" as you put it?
:huh :confused:

Btw....still waitin on that game name.................

Ok, I have some input on this. Having played this stuff since before most in-game nowadays were even born I have better insight than most into the phenomena of change in this genre. What I will say is, the more things change the more they stay the same. To provide another apt cliche... the only constant is change. The most unhappy people I know in real-life or in this game are those incredibly resistant to change. The ability to adapt as a trait defines the human race. I find it alot more than mildly amusing so many people are so consciously and vehemently opposed to change and the prospect of adapting to it.

I freely admit I have zero talent, no skill whatsoever and am completely lacking in any and every quality that makes for a good cartoon fighter pilot, as many on this BBS never get tired of pointing out. ;) But, what I can do well is adapt. If the old tricks stop being effective, which is easier? Change the behavior of the other 6,499 people in the game to suit your obsolete techniques, or change your techniques?

What makes AH fun is there's literally a hundred ways to skin a cat..er have fun...To continue to piss into the wind, so to speak, is not the fault of the wind, is it? Nope, it's the fault of the pisser... ;)

Just some generic food for thought on this topic...carry on...

Hey, I respect all the duelists out there and I'm sure you've heard me say this for giggles on 200 , but it's true.

"Looking for a 1 vs 1 fight in a fast paced LW MA with hundreds of people is like looking for a virgin in a potatohouse"...If randomly happening upon uninterupted 1 vs 1 fights is what gives you pleasure and you honestly get upset when it is denied you in this kind of environment, you have lost touch with reality and need to immediately take a course in remedial mathematics...Then when you're done take a course covering the law of  probabilities and basic human psychology. ;) Then, hopefully you'll understand the futility of it and learn to have fun anyways in other ways, or go to the DA...

You guys had been winging for the whole flight, both in high ponies, that's how I know.  Is it a mere coincidence that I mentioned our one encounter and hub said he finds you in that situation every time he finds you?  
Bucky, it seems like you are somehow taking offense that my experience with you was that you didn't opt for a 1v1 when you and your wingie bounced me.  That's my experience with you. I did my best in that fight but you guys got me,  WTG.  So what if you fly w/ a wingy sometimes? I would have preferred it to be a 1v1 and whined as much.  I said my peace, upped a shiny new plane and we both carried on. Not sure why you got so worked up.
 I'm not saying you're a bad pileit or even a bad guy.  I was just pointing out what I saw as irony in your first post.

Well I guess we're even then.  I'm still waiting for you to point out one post where I say something even close to "you post your "i'm so great" threads like you constantly do all over the bbs".  just one will do, really.

I have to admit, your question about who I am will be answered, where I am doubtful you'll be able to find that post I'm asking for.  :)

Bucky, you seriously do not know who this Steve is in the game? and you been here how long?

don't worry, I had a memory lapse once and forgot who he was also, but he has played just as long as I have if not longer.....;)

Hey, no hard feelings here. I suppose I may have overreacted a bit but,  I just knew from the moment I started this thread somebody would throw it off in another direction.

All I wanted to know was what people thought about the MA. I've had many squaddies quit lately and they all said the game had become boring for them and they stated exactly the same thing that I put in my original post.

Anyway, I don't HATE you nor will I.
The day anything about this game gets me upset for more than about 2 minutes then i'm done because I would need to get a life.
I'm not gonna loose any sleep over this and I'm sure you won't either.:D

At least it kept me entertained during my boring day at work:rofl

But here if this helps.


Wow, that Stevebailey dude is the best cartoon pilot i've ever seen.
(you can quote that on your future post's to make you feel good.)

I was trying to ask a simple question and you post some-(hey, look at me i'm the man) post and ruin it for everybody. So, do us all a favor and go browse for porn or something but stay off the bbs unless you have something constructive to say.:aok

btw...I'm through wasting my time with you so go hijack another thread.:aok



This is kinda y i play in the 8-player arena. Its usally 1v1. If u go into Blue SKy Maximum realsim ur gonna face the best P38 out there (Benny Moore). Most times in a smog map its 1v1. Unless there trying 2 capture a base then it could b 7v1:t  

Ive had more fun in the 8-player arena than the MA.
