I mean what happened yesterday evening (GMT+1) at A11.
Two Rook CV groups in front of A11, not very close but enuff to ack-ack everything feet wet. Hordes of Rooks inb A11 and hordes of Knights taking off to fight mainly vulchers and rare Jabos. I often got nailed by CVs ack-ack from 15K to ground, while diving and spiralling at 400mph+. Eventually I took off with a Niki and 25% fuel. Gawd, now I understand why its the plane and not the pilot (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I HOed everyone on my path, I looped and looped and looped and smoked guys that never knew I was there hanging on my prop with my 800 20mm rounds.
I miss our 1.04 big terrain (not the beta one, plagued by respawning Osties). And I hope HTC will bring a new terrain with less water, reduce the number of CV groups, reduce further CV's ack lethality and somehow take back that balance between gigantic low level furballs and good playing that we had in 1.04.
I know, we are in continuous development. CV's, PT-boats, F6F, Seafires are nice but I and my whole squadron somehow feel like we took a step back from 1.04. Just food for thoughts. No flame war.

solution : 3 heavy jabo on the CV and "pouf" no more annoyances (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Gato, I think todays patch will help! It forces CV's to stay farther away from shores ie. no more CV ack covering a enemy field. Also ack routine will be changed.

I agree at 100% with Gatt,
In Ah I was finding a real HYSTORICAL war simulation.
When an Europe only Terr Arena at 100%, with europeans ONLY planes?
Never too early! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

I agree Gatt.
-
Hehe gatt, now you know how I feel about 1.03.
-
I agree. This map is getting a little long in the tooth. I imagine they are working on more maps. I think they have been busy patching. They will debut a new map soon I think. I hope. Please. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Ive never tried the version,,,so what you
dont know,cant harm you,,,,,,,,,,,,,or???

Some people hate fights that aren't on their own terms...
-
they should give nuttz free account so they can use his textures
imo his textures rock
-
Wrong Rip. I landed multiple kills sorties that day. Probably more kills than during my long sweeps or field defence.
And read the topic. I wanted only to know if this is what people want from AH. If those gigantic furballs are your own terms, then enjoy. I'm happy for you.
-
Gatt, what I am implying is there are days where I am defending an airfield from the hordes from a ship, and there are days that I am the agressor coming from that ship...it all balances out.
-
I second that Zigrat.
------------------
When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
-
nikis are my favorite plane to save a vulched field with, provided u can get off the ground and that the attackers arent super-aces, the field will be fine that niki is soo funny i had an 11 kill sortie at one of our vulched, me against bout 5 hellcats and a few chogs and tbm its just too damn funny

By the time HTC gets around to submitted stuff, Nuttz is most likely going to be busy with real life (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
The terrain editor stuff has had a serious lack of support (outside of the player base), which is not really a big deal, but it is very very discouraging for player created stuff that are not directly associated with the CM's (the only player terrains that get real exposure).
I've witnessed Nuttz's attemtps to get HTC to do something with his skins, but he's gotten very little feedback (well none that I know of other then a resolution question from HT) over the past few months, which is really ashame given the man hours he's putting in creating, testing, optimizing, etc.
Oh well, I'm rambling.
I had hope that we would get a shoreline transition in 1.05. Nuttz had his conversion tiles ready for a temporary transition which could of surely been worked in until SF/ND had time to create one with the propper physic attributes for LVT's and whatnot, but we're stuck with the jagged coast for now, and looks like it will be awhile with SF/ND working on planes for the next version
