Ok this is just my opinion/wish. I thought the game was for air combat, but lately I have seen ppl who would much rather sit in a gun then up a plane. I wish HTC would make it so that it doesn't show anybody landing kills in a gun. I think that this would help a lil by making the person up and fight if they want to get their name in lights. I know there is a time for using the guns. Like if your base is capped it would just be stupid to up and give kills to the enmy if they didn't earn it. I am seeing alot more ppl not want to actually get in a fight, not sure what is going on. Why are so many ppl scared to die in a cartoon plane. I am not trying to tell ppl how to have fun. This just my opinion. <S> my whine is over.
-
Nope. As of right now the only reward for using a mannable gun is the name in lights. Mind you, mannable guns are my last choice for defense not my first.
-
I don't see what the problem is with this, ship and field guns don't even count to score do they?
Are you just complaining that some people are landing kills in a gun?
I don't understand.
-
I could care less about scores and the name in lights. What I am trying to get across is, I thought this was mainly an air combat game. Well I see alot more ppl rather man the guns instead of actually upping a fighter to fight. I think most of these ppl just want to get their name in lights. I think if we were to do away with the name in lights it might get some ppl to actually up a plane and fight. I am here for a fight not for someone to sit in a gun and not take a risk dieing in a cartoon plane. I am not that great of a pilot so most of these ppl would probably be able to shoot me down, but they much rather sit in a gun then up a plane.
-
Sounds to me like somebody ran out of people to vulch and got killed by a soft gun.
-
Well u must not no me I am always looking for a fight I dont' care to vulch.
edit: unless we are capping a base to take it and yes I do help with base captures every now and then
-
There have been many occasions where the vulchers have been driven off by manned ack,allowing people to up and kill troops. 5 or 6 skilled gunners can make all the difference when the VH is porked and the cherry pickers come in and do their thing,especially when there is no attempt to take the base,just going for easy kills. I want my name in lights for my part in a base defense,so a big

IMO, You're really overstepping your bounds here. So what if they are enjoying sitting in a gun. There are PLENTY of other planes up to go fight. Are the people in GVs any different? Should their names not get lit up because they aren't fighting you in the air?
-
I guess I am the only one who actually likes a dogfight, and not be lame and sit in a gun instead of upping to fight. Just to be clear I will let somebody up and not vulch them, so that I could have a dogfight. If ppl are vulching by all means get in a gun and stop them. Guess ya'll missed that part in my first post.
-
There are plenty of people willing to fight you in the air, I find it funny that you are getting so upset because one person may choose not to fight in the air for a while.
Let people play how they want.
-
Guess u missed the part where I said I am not telling ppl how to play. My thing is if I travel to a base where there was a fight but everybody got shot down why would u not want to up and fight. Guess I am just trying to figure out why ppl wouldn't want to fight since this is a air combat game.
-
I'm talking to a wall here, lol, you're saying "people can play how they want" but I think people shouldn't be allowed to do what they want when I want them to do something else.
FYI, I'm done with this thread before it gets too out of hand.
:cheers:
-
Guess I am talking to a wall also, I didn't say for them not to be able to use the guns, I am just trying to see why ppl perfer not to dogfight in an air combat game.

FANTASTIC!
We should do anway with GVs while we are at it...it is afterall an "AIR" combat game
-
-1 so you want "understanding" about why people don't play this game the way you think it ought to be played. :huh. How about because we all pay the money to play this game and we will play it the way we want when we want using the tactics we want (as long as we don't upset the admins :noid)..... you are presenting yourself as one of those people who complain about "unfair" tactics instead of actually challenging them on the field. Yes this game started as an air combat game and it primarily still is. However, obviosly there is enough support amongst the customers for other aspects besides pure and simple air combat, if there weren't, Hitech wouldn't have developed and continued to support those aspects of the game experience. There are many reasons why people play the way they do....as long as they don't CHEAT you should give them the same respect that you demand for your abilities. :salute

Have any of you ground lovers played WWII online? The focus there is ground pounder warfare...infantry, tanks, trucks, artillery, etc...take a plane up and you will be sorely disappointed by the flight model. No one likes to fly the planes in that game since they stink...and noone complains (at least not to the extent that people do here) about the lack of airplanes because people play that game for the ground war. In AH there is a ground war element that does play a part in the overal scheme of things...combined air/ground warfare...however, the main focus is aerial combat and what LCCajun is responding to is the sudden posting activity for things that have nothing to do with the aerial combat or the ground vehicle element?
Seriously, is common sense lacking that much that ships, submarines, towable artillery and other things that are more suited to games like WWII online become the focus of people's attention in Aces High when there are better items that could be added to contribute more to the overall experience of a game that is obviously geared toward aerial combat? Why not just ask HiTech and company to go all out and change the game so it's more like WWII online so we can have infantry, towable artillery, unarmed vehicles, mortars, battleships and submarines?
-
Ok, hey hitech can you continue your efforts to make a diverse gaming experience experience for ALL your customers? That way you can attract more customers, increasing profits and your ability to suppport this product through increased funding. :salute. In spite of your insulting and elitist attitude, you were right gyrene I do feel better for asking! Thanks buddy! :aok. :neener:

What your asking for is for people to play your way....
They pay for their use of HTC game just like anyone else, let them decide which features they wish to use.

Everyone is a marketing expert...if I had a nickel for every marketing expert who posted his expertise just on these forums...I'd be able to retire...
So let me get this straight...what you're saying is that if HTC were to make AH more like WWII Online more people would pay to play? I'm amazed, here I was under the obviously mistaken impression that people looking for a WWII air combat simulation came to AH for the planes. Maybe if submarines were added before the last upgrade...people wouldn't have quit just because their computers couldn't handle the improved graphics...or maybe they would have been more willing to get new computers just for the submarines. Diversity is great, as long as it fits...

Well, obviously I am not HiTech or in any way associated with their company . . . but if I were, I would be quite pissed to see someone tell any part of my customer base they should go play somewhere else.
If you don't like <insert aspect here> of the game, don't utilize it. Let those who do enjoy it continue to do so in peace.

As one of those Lame individuals who take great joy in manning a soft gun on a base & knocking individuals out of the sky. All I can tell you is stay more than 6K away & then it's a non issue.

That door swings both ways bud...all the "this game needs <submarines, towable artillery, more infantry, unarmed trucks, controllable ships>..." people are telling the majority of the people in AH who have and do enjoy the existing lineup that if they don't want the stuff that doesn't enhance any part of what exists now that they should go somewhere else...do you honestly believe that if HTC took the time to remodel the water to a 3d scape for submarines, then modeled controllable subs and ships that there would be time to fill in the missing planes and gv's that people have been wishing about for years? That sir, in marketing terms would be cutting off the nose to spite the face.

:aok :aok :aok
The only thing I kill in soft guns are vulchers, bombers flying under 15k, and gv's that are trying to roll onto a base.
Those things are just as lame as a soft gun (and none of those things are completely lame)
-
Ohhh so who is the "marketing expert" now? Better add another nickel to your retirement fund. It must be tough to be the designated spokesman for "the majority".... this is a wish list and I wish objections would be based on legitimate concerns not just complaints because people actually have ideas. (Curse you youngsters and your new fangled ideas :old:) :headscratch:

I've not seen anyone say that we shouldn't add more airplanes, too. You, however, have been saying we shouldn't add anything that isn't an airplane. And telling people to take their business elsewhere to boot. So, no, the door isn't swinging both ways.

Get rid of puffy and auto ack.
Force carrier attacks to be epic while promoting dogfights around the carrier.
People will be flying cap around the cv and huge furballs will insue.
Carriers will then be forced out to sea to keep them from getting slaughtered.
It will make the cv combat epic and more fun.
But double the amount of mannable and unmannable 40mm's to balance it out.
or...
We could make the puffy ack much less effective against fighters and much more effective against bombers. :D

Are a couple of my 5" shells the reason for this post? :D I thought that battle was epic tonight, I was having a blast in that ship gun. We weren't really mounting an offensive so it was just a matter of time before you got to us but I had a lot of fun swinging that gun around.
-
Seems to me the answer is that if you dont want to risk being shot down by a manned gun... dont fly over them. If what the OP wants to do is dogfight, and not have to worry about manned guns, there is plenty of airspace NOT over an enemy field to do it in.

No, Not youre shells but the auto puffy ack.
You are a sniper in that damn 5 incher though.
I had to use nemisis as a low alt meat shield in order to drop my eggs on the cv and even then you still took the tail off of my 38.
I wanted to pull an offensive out of you guys.
There was 3 planes up and almost all of them i had to bait towards land.
Guess a low and slow A-20 isnt a tasty enough target. :D
