Title: Favorite Part of AH
Post by: MK-84 on June 21, 2011, 07:19:16 PM: It seems that these forums are overloaded with silly complaints. :uhoh We're all paying to play, so why not list off what you like best about this game.

I'll start :x

I love the ability to hotpad/rearm

I love how the ballistics are modeled...I still cant hit anything with a tater, but thats whats fun about it, the challenge!

I love that certain planes/GVs require perks. Saving up gives me something to look forward to. (like crashing a 262 in less than 10 minutes :D)

Your turns

Post by: Martyn on June 22, 2011, 07:37:14 AM: The team work.

- like when you're in a tank on the right-flank and someone you don't know but works with you anyway, moves up on the left and covers you while you advance. Then you return the favour covering his back, and then another guy appears in an M3 and drops much needed supplies, and then you take down the enemy's field ack and cover another M3 with troops as you take the enemy's field. All of us acting together as a team.

- or when you're returning from a bomber sortie being chased by fighters but suddenly a friendly comes screaming out of the clouds and scares the **** out of them and keeps them occupied while you get home.

- or when they're about to take a town and you manage to get there in jeep quickly and kill the enemy troops while fighters keep cap and tell you when / where more troops are coming from - before the flacks and tanks get to the map room to relieve you.

That's really cool.

It doesn't always work out that way, but when it does I can't stop grinning for an hour or two.
