oh stop being so freakin pretentious and hear me out....as tonge & cheek as the suggestion was....it was meant to attract new customers.....not excite current aces.

I do think, within it's own dedicated forum.....it would attract new customers.....LOTS of new customers.

here's why.....

I'd bet 2/3rds of the newbies that sign up for the free two week test run never re-up and sign up as customers........why is that Zeta?  well kids....it's because by the time they acutally figure out how to get airborne....they go up against alot of the aces and long time vets....and many of them leave for good.

give them an opportunity to have a little more fun within that two week free look...and at least offer another areana with unlimited fuel and ammo one night a week...and I bet business doubles for AH.

Zetanine, if this was the hit TV reality show 'American Idol', and if this post was compared to an audition, and we had the same judges' reading your idea, you would have been stopped in mid-sentence, Simon would have said something to the effect that what you wrote has absolutely no business on the forum, and told you no.

Oh sure, Randy and Paula Abdul would have tried to have been nicer about it.

But they still would say no.:lol

Heck HTC already made killing the fuel at bases and the factory mean nothing what more do you want...  You can always up with a full tank now and I have to ask if they have unlimited fule and ammo does this mean they also are affected by the weight of said fuel and ammo also...  If they are then they would be ad a big disadvantage VS we that have been around long enough to know that weight sucks in a fight....

  But by all means make this change then all the trial players can die that much faster.. :t

Its kind of like T-Ball leagues that don't keep score, the availability of adjustable height basketball goals, and cheat codes for X-Box games.  Nothing like reinforcing the pandering, spoiled, "gimme, gimme" behavior that is so pervasive in American society today.  Leave AH2 as the last bastion of on-line meritocracy.  The ones that exercise the patience and discipline required to succeed in this game are the only ones the community really wants.    

Positive reinforcement is so totally overrated.

I'm all for it, better yet, make it so that the side with more numbers gets hurt more by porking.  :p All fuel bunkers down, the side with lesser numbers gets 50% gas, while the side with more numbers is down to 25%.

:D :D :aok

Post by: The Fugitive on February 11, 2008, 07:39:37 AM
I think putting the porkable fuel back in would be great ! Make each fuel take a 500 LBer to kill that way a single guy couldn't come in and pork a base. Set it to go all the way down to 25%.

a) this isnt anything that interests me...it's meant to increase sales.

b) keywords in my above styled posts: "seperate and segregated forums" (or did I say dedicated forums?)

If you can't get a kill with 800 rounds of the strongest 20mm in the game (C-hog) or 3400 rounds of super-accurate 50cal (P-47s) or 2400 rounds of 50cal (F4us) or 780 rounds of 20mm AND 950 rounds of 13mm (basically 50cal) in the 190A8, or 360 rounds of 30mm (262) or 900 rounds of 20mm in the N1K2



If you can't do any of those, I'm sorry. You fail. Turn in your joystick and go play quake. These are the levels in-game NOW, with 1x multipliers in effect.

If you suck so bad you can't get a kill with enough ammo to demolish your hometown, no amount of lame-arse gimmicky crutches (i.e. unlimited ammo) is going to help you.



No.


Fail.


Might I suggest internet checkers?

That's the sound of my point going over your head, I see.

This isn't FighterAce. This isn't IL2. This game is one of the more realistic games out there. Taking away that very aspect of it would LOSE more long-time devoted players that love the gameplay, than it would ATTRACT short-time disinterested arcade gamers.

Zeta, in the case you haven't noticed yet. This idea won't come to fruition. Mainly because everyone would be complaining about VansCrew vulching them while he's busy taking out the town, all in one sortie.:)

And if you have more than one thing to say, (http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/images/edit.gif) your last post instead of making a new one. There's no need for more than one post in a row from a single user when you can put them all in one.

Uhm... If a wing can touch the water in AH at 200 MPH and the plane smashes the water, wouldn't the same thing happen with the velocity of two planes hitting each other traveling the same speed?

Considering that if you both collide traveling the same speed of say 200 MPH, you hit with a velocity of 400 MPH. In that case, even if wingtips touched, at least half the wing would be snapped off and your plane would be thrown to the side. The stress on the aircraft would probably be enough to cause more damage on other parts of the plane when you're suddenly thrown to the side.

So I agree with Lusche, a mid-air collision would result in the demise of both pilots.

Post the p-38 that flew HEAD-LONG into the halifax, TOOK THE FIN OFF and wedged it into its leading edge outboard of one engine, and still managed to fly home and land safely.

I believe the halifax may have landed safely, too.


Oh how about the TBM almost broken in half with the tail bent upwards, missing part of a wing, and it still made it back to the fleet for a safe ditch & recovery.

Or how about countless B-17s missing almost entire vertical stabs, a P-47 missing one entire horizontal stab (ripped off at the vertical fin through and through) and many many other examples.

OK. Unfortunately I could not find the pics of the P38 Vs the Halifax incident.
I do however have a couple of contemporary accident photos.
The first are of a pair of F/A-18's that collided during manoeuvres.

The next two are of a Beech Baron that caught a Cessna wheel to the cockpit.
