I am campaigning for you to add more Country's to your cool game! Help me out! This is not a wishlist item. I would like to hear from all in the AH community as well.
I would like for you to add a representative plane from these Country's, fighter or bomber. Why? They simply deserve to be here. If you add new country's you increase the potential clientele. If you add another German, USA, British, Soviet, Japanese etc... you really don't increase your client base you just add another goodie for those of us here all ready. Why not add some new interest, new clientele and give us, the current clientele, some more goodies to play with?
I would like to fly all of these. wouldn't you?
1. The French <65 million people>
A. MS-406
B. D-520
C. B-693
2. The Aussies <26 million people>
A. CAC Boomerang
B. DAP MK21 Beaufighter
3. The Romanians <15 million people>
A. I.A.R. 80/81
4. The Polish <38 million people>
A. PLZ.23 Karas
I think some of these approx.140 million folks would like to be included in your game! Heck if you add the H75 as a Chinese plane <1.3 Billion people>
I can make a case for all of these planes at squadron strength and combat sorties some with kills and some just killed.
If you would like any help with any info on any of these planes, I would be glad to help out the best I can.
Please consider it!
Thank You,
Fin :salute

The French, Aussies, and Poles all flew Spitfires.

Yes they did that's not the point :)
If I was French would I join to fly a British plane probable not

I would like the game in different languages ie the title screen and a file that the user can edit to change the menu options in game to their own language.

I bet Gibberish won't be an option though.

In all seriousness though would you play a game were you couldn't read the basic menu or the title? English is my first and only language I wouldn't play a game that was in Russian no matter how good the game was. IL2 Sturmovik was in every language under the sun, my guess is HTC blauks at the considerable task of providing multi lingual support for this game, but the way the community seems to pop up around this game do you really need one?
I would love receiving tears in a language I couldn't understand! :rofl Or watching political discussions in Russian on 200 :rock All you need is a forum for a nationality the Japanese who came over from Fighter Ace should really have their own forum here on the BBS as well.

A few months back there was a thread about how to handle 2-week pass players in an attempt to keep more of them in the fold. Sadly, about the only thing I have seen come out of this is when players drop the 'alt-f4' trick veteran players quickly correct them. No use hazing those not in the fold yet.
This idea has an interesting angle. I doubt High Tech has a massive marketing budget though we on this list could easily gorilla market this. Imagine if we did have the French D.520. Could we gorilla market via Facebook, etc to French gamers about flying this bird? With the Poles, they flew Hurris and Spits. Is there a gorilla campaign to be had recruiting for a historical Polish squadron or wing? Do we have the ability to recruit in Japan for Japanese flyers? Would there be an appeal for Flying Tigers among the people of Taiwan/Formosa? What about recruiting in South Africa or New Zealand for respective squads that flew with the RAF? I've thought about drumming up a volunteer group (not a new squad) among Tennessee's many volunteers. Maybe a surge among us red-neck, southern folk.
Who knows but there might be an angle here....
Or not.
There is a real desire among many of us to build this community in various ways. Is there something to be done?

pervert, did you see that blade made a japanese ahwiki all by himself?
if the menu would have languages options I'll be willing to help out with Brazillian Portuguese.
now for the aircraft... I WANTZ IAR AND D520

I fly alien aircraft almost exclusively. You only have access to them from SAPP.

Yup I cannot read it though! :) I'm sure it was an exhaustive thing to do, really shows how much some love this game to put that much effort into helping his countrymen :rock
D520 would be cool jets suck balls :furious
-
520 would be a fine add.
-
supporting unicode for ingame chat would be a start, Its quite difficult to hold a french conversation without éèê. Japanese is a nightmare also, and don't get me started on russian :)
-
Noir, I manage it very well. It's not real elegant but still... The thing is, why would I do that, given the vast majority of player wont understand me?
De toute façon, je veut gardé mon code secret :devil
Pis j'n'ai un autre ben à moé itou :D
I know it cut us off from potential people, but in a small community like this, I feel a standard have to be imposed for communications or else it could quickly become a jungle.
-
yes but some people that do not speak the language of the majority just leave the game for a while because they are completly lost. some don't even know there IS a forum or tutorials etc...

So whats to stop a community that cannot speak english from popping up? I have no problem people having their own little jungle ours is quite big enough isn't it? A Russians money is just as good as an Americans :) or any other nationality for that matter, whos to say they cannot have their own channel 200 for their language.
More subscribers for this game the more HTC can do more quickly, which can only be good for the players.

Yes... 1 way to get more subs would be to ad new/other nations.
I do agree on the languages. I think an interpreter program would be best ... so a Japanese person can talk to a Russian person or a Frenchmen to an American and visversa. Similar to google translate. I type in English on my end and it comes out French on his end.
Before you have a need for this however you need the Frenchman and some French planes.
:salute
BTW Skuzzy I asked you nicely, I thought, to please leave this thread in the AH main forum as more folks attend and it is more of a discussion than a wish list item and I also directed the question directly to HT not the C portion. I would like his take on this if he says pound sand so be it. I won't bother anymore.
Thanx :salute

this never works out ok, the languages are so different that the final message most of the time simply does not make sense or even becomes something else, imagine even expretions and such. I think there could be a "200" for every single language and a main 200 where people that will join are people that do not mind seeing other languages in their text buffers so people would simply talk in thier own language or thosw who can speak other language would do so.
I know there are some guys that play this game and do not understand a word people say and only understand basics of what people type, I have NO IDEA how the person figures out all the stuff this game has with no comunication at all. even the forums. there could be a help forum to each language and people that do speak english could help out with some basic info even by translating the questions to someone who is a veteran in the game

send them source documents... you know, the specs and performance data, not stuff just pulled from a book. :aok

Puppetz, your french is pretty bad :lol
For native french speakers, having a text conversation within AH is frustrating. Creating a french squad would be a hassle without the proper text characters, and over the years I've seen quite a few french pilots try the gamer, and most of them left. Why? probably because of their isolation, in aces high you have to know a bit of English, even if you find people from your country you can't send text to them in your home langage)
Adding unicode to the game would surely increase division in the community, but at the end I think it would be good for the game, increasing the subscriptions and add diversity in the gameplay!
I volonteer to provide french traduction to the game :aok
-
when you do not have english as your first language, the first words you learn are the bad words (at least in Brazil that is very common :D)
but seriously, if the person is from Brasil, he only discovers the game because he already has some knowledge of flight simulation games. Aces high is not just that and also people get lost and simply do not know how to play it. what I mean is, the person knows the names (rudder, elevator, trim...) but has no idea at first where is the fight going on, where are the enemy bombers, is it possible to change your fuel loadout..,what is a tank spawn,Why can't I use a bomb on my a/c? ... and stuff...
The ones who stay are the ones who have basic english, the ones who find other people that speak the language OR those who simply mess with everything. imagine flying wanting a escort or some help of some kind like a damaged tank that does not even know that supplies can fix and stuff and you are not able to comunicate (even do not know what 200 channel is)

American with relatives from all nations in game execpt Russia and Japan, and I only fly German. You can't beat the feel of Messerschmit iron, or the sound of a Daimler-Benz engine, or the roar of a Rheinmetall-Borsig cannon.
Infact, the bottom of my "things I want added" list is mostly US stuff.
-

Yes you can, its called a B-17. :neener:
-
I also fly mostly german Iron and I do not like the jug as much (and it was the only plane Brazil used to every mission)
but by representing other countries you WILL certainly call attention of some other people. think about it, some of these planes aren't modeled anywhere and people would find where? aces high!
there is a bunch of patriotic people out there that would like to fly it's country's plane
-
Ah, but in their infinite wisdom, the RLM saw fit to equip me with a powerfull 30mm cannon, so that I might destroy the enemys of Germany with but a single pass :ahand.
-
I've been playing AH since it was Warbirds (and then Confirmed Kill- or do I have that reversed). It seems to me we actually have fewer foreign players than in the past. I remember I used to be in a squad that had Russians; couldn't understand a word they said but it was kinda neat, sort of added immersion. It doesn't seem that I hear as many foreign accents as I used to. (Well, Southern accents are foreign to me and there sure are a lot of those :) )
-
That is cause you're a Yankee and the southern dialect is one of art and stature. Right along with the Texan dialect, which we have a few depending on where in Texas you might have been born and reared. :D :cheers:
-
Dad and I would be a couple Texans adding southern immersion to your game from time to time. Your welcome. :D

How many people do you think will subscribe to the game if those planes are added?
Most of those planes have been asked for many times before, much like the B29, the P40N, the Betty and so on. And like those planes we have gotten, I'm sure we will get all of the other too, eventually.
You've been here long enough to know your not going to get a strait answer to any thing pertaining to the future of any content that the game may or may not get.
Like everyone else, wish for it, pray for it, hope for it, even send in a bottle or two of scotch for it, but you will not hear about it until a few weeks before it will bereleased, just like every other thing that has been added to the game over the years.

At this point in the economy it would be hard to say and you are asking me to speculate but I would hope for 1/25th to 1/10th of 1% of the country's population. Additionally I would be advertising in the country's that I cater to ie. Germany, Japan, Russia etc..
I think eventually may not come or is to long to wait for an excellent idea that makes the intended player base bigger and stronger.
I've been here long enough to know if you ask a good straight question you will get a good straight answer, ...eventually.
Like everyone else, I will, wish for it, pray for it, hope for it and additionally, I will send any information/help/support I can find to help with the release of these new country's planes.
Go read the OP's original text and you will find that this doesn't even belong in this forum and is a discussion on what would be a good way to increase the client base and get more customers for the good of HT and HTC. It asks the question to HT if adding new country's is a good idea and if so, would this be a good way to go about it.
There are a few other threads that have sprung up in the same vein since I posted.

Well just because there are a number of threads on the subject doesn't mean that they are good ideas :devil
Personally I wouldn't think having a plane that represent my country would be a "selling point" to play the game. Advertizing, now that would make more sense. You can add the French planes you want, if people in France don't know the game exists no body is going to join.
My guess, is the OP wasn't looked at as a suggestion/idea to bring in more people, it was looked at more in the vein of a disguised wish ( and most likely why it was moved here). As we have heard before, "ask for what you really want", in this case, more new planes.

It doesn't mean they are not excellent ideas either :lol
Oh really? What if there were no US planes and you knew nothing about the game you just found and the language is Russian. Would you try to stumble through it? I most likely wouldn't fly this thing if there weren't USA planes and English! I mean its hard enough to learn as it is.. right?
Take a look here at rise of flight web site, at the click of the mouse it changes the language from Russian to English.
http://riseofflight.com/ru (http://riseofflight.com/ru)
and here on wings of prey, skip the intro and look at the top right corner on the page …click of the mouse no less then seven languages.
http://www.airwargame.com/fre/start/ (http://www.airwargame.com/fre/start/)
… French even!
I am not espousing either of these games ...but I do think this would be a great idea for HT to implement.
.... So I guess that would apply to all Russian, German and Japanese planes in the game as well but we have plenty of those We even have a Finnish plane that's not Finnish. The French certainly deserve a spot in this game oui? The Australians do as well. Adding something from the Romanian area is also good and we know there are a lot of new rich Chinese.
I would say your right!
Maybe if we had younger more enthusiastic/sharper lads they could have a 2 for 1. 1 guy to watch the forums and 1 to manage the web sites, a new skins board, manage the player skins, and make a new multi language site. What do you think? Would that be a good idea?
…And no,, In this case it would be for new Country's to be represented, could be a gv, seaplane, tank even a sub. … etc
I mentioned planes because that's what I know about. :aok

3 balances better then 4.

this would go good with lyrics early war panzer and still would add a new country.

yeah, cause thats not a punt :lol.

Nope.. just another idea to add new countrys... I'm not a tanker but I'm going to brush up just for four you :cheers:
what tank was that?,

I do agree on the languages. I think an interpreter program would be best ... so a Japanese person can talk to a Russian person or a Frenchmen to an American and visversa. Similar to google translate. I type in English on my end and it comes out French on his end.
Having an auto-translator in game like that takes a lot of development time and resources and I imagine would be difficult for a company with limited resources like HTC to actually do. The online games we have feature an auto-translator so our French, German, Japanese and English players can communicate with each other but from what I hear from our devs, it's a pain in the bellybutton to implement.
I think at this point, it would probably be quicker if the community takes on this project itself, just like Blade did for his fellow JP players.

IDK if its even nessecary AKAK. We have very few players that don't share at least 1 of the main languages in AH.
-
If you add new country's you increase the potential clientele. If you add another German, USA, British, Soviet, Japanese etc... you really don't increase your client base you just add another goodie for those of us here all ready.
I have to wonder where all the Soviet players are? We really didn't have any Japanese either until FA closed down and Russian, Japanese and Italian planes have been here a long time.
By your calculations how big are those countries and how many players should have flooded into the game?
I realize now you've added language to your wish but it wasn't there to begin with. I think your logic is flawed.

ingame translator is a pipe dream, but what about unicode characters support?

Do you agree with Megalodon that if it was easier for other non-English native speakers we could increase the player base?

alack
You maybe right about the in game translator as I am not sure what all it would involve..... But having HTC's web pages with translated text option would be excellent to explain to foreign language speakers.
Having a small highlighted clickable icons at the top of the page to change the languages of the pages..|EN FR JA RU IT GE CH SP PL| etc...will it cost a little to make these pages...yes ...or maybe someone will donate their time making official translated pages for HTC either hosted by or pointed too. For instance you could do SP.
I disagree ......... I think HT should add nations, vehicles, planes or vessels, that had a stake in the war that are not represented 1st before adding anymore trinkets from country's all ready in the game. Aus, Fra being two major nations and Rom, Poland etc... and make it easier, by way of web pages, for potential costumers to under stand how to work/play/strategy of/the game.

Wonder all you like. Yes we had them in AW as well that doesn't mean we should not include other nations and support for them that they can read.
Its a conversation and shouldn't be in the wishlist thread. I didn't put it here :aok

Wow, the sarcasam is overwhelming. Anway, I'm not saying it wouldn't be helpfull, but I'm saying it might not be nessecary (games for other countrys should of course have thier own localization package, that goes without saying, so ingame menues are a moot point). I'm saying that for complex communication of personal oppinions, such as usually happens on CH 200 and Ch 2, it wouldn't be nessecary, though it would be usefull.
-
Isn't the shame overwhelming? your English is worse than most foreigners who learned it as their second language. If you were my kid I'd probably have you put down.
Anyway I guess I understand that HTC and AH is a very different business model (and smaller team) to most other games and game companies, and so some taken-for-granted things like multiple language options are going to be hard for them to do, just the way it goes...
But I do think it'd get (or would have gotten) a lot more subscribers in the long run

Yes, because I clearly have more troubles with the English language than you :rolleyes:. Of course you know what they say, "Rare is the person who can weigh the faults of others without putting his thumb on the scales".
Perhaps Aces High would have had more subscribers by now, if HTC offered the game in multiple languages. Perhaps that's something they lack compared to a large business. But then again, HTC has never expressed a desire to be a large business.
-
Did you ever have the desire to learn English better than foreign kids? :lol Glad to see you're using the nice built in spellcheck now, if my posts have at least shamed you into that much, then the other members of this forum should thank me :old:

If your posts contained even a grain of truth, then perhaps they should. But seeing as this is reality, they're probably more inclined to ignore you than praise you for inaction.

The Chinese flew a lot of I-16s as well, so they kinda have a plane in game now.
What about the idea of unicode support and having a General channel for English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian that, if it is possible, based on IP address tunes new players to the appropriate General channel?

While I'm for different language sub forums, I'm personally not sure if this ^^ would be a good idea. Splitting in game communications and such... :headscratch:

I think that's a great idea!
Aswell.. being able to tune to the specific languages with a dot command .. exmp .tune German?

Not saying that would be their only channel. They'd still be in country and all as well. Just one of the four channels set to their language's General Channel.

MS-406
D-520
Beaufighter
IAR 80/81
Early/midwar fighters? always get my vote +1
Don't care for which country or politics (i.e how many people) - frankly finger pointing which country "deserves" a slot is rather childish.
Not sure about the PZL P.11 - Fiat CR.42 Falco and Gladiator served in far more theaters then PZL P.11 or any other Polish aircraft.
With Gladiator and Falco you can have a Greek Campaign or North Africa both were vital to WW2, throw in limited 109s and Hurricanes and you have an interesting match up.

Yes they did that's not the point :)
If I was French would I join to fly a British plane probable not
Then you'd be wrong. French planes are more difficult to master because of all the reverse gears :bolt:

And the French flew the Hawk 75 as well ....quite a few attained ace status.

Unless the french planes come with guns the shoot out little white flags, I doubt they'll join.

Heck, the Beaufighters served almost from start to end and participated in all theaters of operations. The other plans are ****.

So did the Fins

It flew just a few hours before it was retired entirely. It didn't see any combat with the Finnish Air Force.

A few months back there was a thread about how to handle 2-week pass players in an attempt to keep more of them in the fold. Sadly, about the only thing I have seen come out of this is when players drop the 'alt-f4' trick veteran players quickly correct them. No use hazing those not in the fold yet.
This idea has an interesting angle. I doubt High Tech has a massive marketing budget though we on this list could easily gorilla market this. Imagine if we did have the French D.520. Could we gorilla market via Facebook, etc to French gamers about flying this bird? With the Poles, they flew Hurris and Spits. Is there a gorilla campaign to be had recruiting for a historical Polish squadron or wing? Do we have the ability to recruit in Japan for Japanese flyers? Would there be an appeal for Flying Tigers among the people of Taiwan/Formosa? What about recruiting in South Africa or New Zealand for respective squads that flew with the RAF? I've thought about drumming up a volunteer group (not a new squad) among Tennessee's many volunteers. Maybe a surge among us red-neck, southern folk.
Who knows but there might be an angle here....
Or not.
There is a real desire among many of us to build this community in various ways. Is there something to be done?
Boo
I think you mean guerrilla marketing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_marketing). Gorillas are those large furry black creatures.
