Really? You're whining because a few more host messages popup? :rolleyes:
Keep in mind that it is beta and these are just for test purposes. Also, don't begrudge some silly ones that are there for fun.
I do like your rank reward suggestion though. It shouldn't just be USAAF ranks, the rank rewarded should be based on who's unit the reward was earned in.
Luftwaffe ranks for German aircraft successes
Wehrmacht ranks for German vehicle successes
USN ranks for USN aircraft and boat successes
US Army ranks for US Army aircraft and vehicle successes
US Marine Corp ranks for US Marine Corp aircraft and vehicle successes
Regia Aeronautica ranks for Italian aircraft successes
FAF ranks for Brewster successes
RAF ranks for RAF successes
RN ranks for RN successes
VVS ranks for Russian aircraft successes
Red Army ranks for Russian vehicle successes
IJN ranks for Japanese navy successes
IJA ranks for Japanese army successes
It might be possible to select what rank you want an aircraft or tank to be scored in for those aircraft and tanks that were used by multiple nations. The Spitfire Mk VIII, for example, might be scored as either RAF or USAAF.

You can have a rank in each country and choose which one to present, even if it is not the highest - or none at all. Many online games have "earned titles" and the player can choose one (or none) to display above/below his name icon. HTC can even link the country to the skin of the plane you choose. Fly P51-B in RAF colors and you'll increase your RAF rank. Choose USAAF skin to fly "for" the USAAF.

I'm getting a little bit fed up of people referring to the WoW mentality! I play WoW most days and really enjoy it , but I also enjoy playing Aces High. Yes, WoW has achievements which I consider to be mostly just a bit of fun, though there are more 'serious' ones too. It looks like there will also be a good mix of silly and serious achievements in AH too, and I think it just gives another element to the game which I will enjoy but you can choose to ignore if you wish.
There are idiots in every game, including WoW and AH, so please don't tar us all with the same brush! :old:
albundy Who are you? And you obviously have no clue who I am given your antagonistic vile post above. I made a recommendation, it was far from a whine. If you have nothing constructive to add to this, why post? You realize that there are multiple olds and I have used this callsign all of 3 weeks...and I have no friggen clue who you are. Given you registration date, I was deployed to Afghanistan for an additional 6ish months when you joined, so what exactly is your "experience" with me? Maybe look at your post above, and then maybe you will see how ironic the content is given the manner in which you posted.....especially since your kills per hours of flight reflect the type of player you accuse me of being (one that does not care about the "fight"...)i probably shouldve at least given the hint of being constructive. but i didnt. seems like i unloaded my frustation with people in game on you.
Merry Christmas.

Because it's pretty obvious that this is catering to the WoW generation of players.
Not exactly but it IS the trend of most all new games. Prove it for yourself - just check out the dozens of games on Steam. ;)
I compliment HiTech for working to incorporate this achievement type model WITHOUT changing the quality of the planes and game play of the flight models. :aok
I have been on the Internet since 1992 and have been a gamer the whole time. All the games i have played,including this game the changes are made only for the business part and not the player. Also its the players that say i want change. So to make new player's happy they change things, that's when the game changes and starts to go south, And some quite but others keep playing. And last time i played the modeling of the planes change alot(crying players that can't really play good) It's all about money....What isn't???
Actually it's all about sex, money just facilitates that. :banana:

Could it be possible that having achievements allows new players to show real progress in a game that has essentially an unheard of learning curve?
And for the long time players...I've never shot down 4 B29's in a single sortie, I've never won the war with my troops, and I havent gotten three seconds air in my jeep. Sounds like unique and fun challenges to me.
Neither have I. Every time I think about it, the wife insists that I let her out first...
