Title: The numbers are down because...
Post by: nrshida on August 21, 2018, 12:24:29 PM


<Insert your personal AH gripe here, and pretend it's killing the game>


Mine is the lack of Westland Whirlwind. That's where this game went all wrong. We'd be on AH5 by now with 33 arenas and 18 countries if I'd have got my Westland Whirlwind  :old:


Yes this is just for fun. Play nice, about time this place was a bit more entertaining and less serious.

Actually this is mostly true  :confused:

- I saw communities moving to IL-2 and now to DCS World
- And guys who want arcade style of play and not fly sims go to WT.


What I do notice is one thing that many players are interested is non-WW2 gameplay...

I'd love to fly some F-4s, F-5, F-86, MiG-15s, MiG-21s, Mirages and Hues....

People giving their ideas as to what is killing the game--M3 resupply(my favorite whine by the way). crass players-not enough players-new players not sticking around. maps too big  maps too small--to many trees-vehicle sounds-you can't tell where the shot comes from until it hits you. no sound pack- the play of other players-some players having shade accounts, tanks having automatic transmissions instead of manual ones. having night time-night time too long night time too short. can't see the tanks good enough to bomb, getting tired of being bombed, vulched, picked, ganged, maps being rolled by a country attacking undefended bases because less people on in the early hours. radar this  radar that, ENY-plane eny-ever notice how nobody complains on 200 when they can't get their favorite tank. 1 country has 50 players logged on but 20 are in the tower<-- personal gripe. his panzer 1 shot my tiger, Brewster/yak3 over modeled planes/under modeled<--still not exactly sure what that means, collision damage-poor collision model<--for sure I don't know what that means. I'm quitting because of this, that, or the other thing. I'm sure I missed some of the gripes not listed here.

while making my other post here-
the regular players we lost-some probably died :pray :salute
some said in the last days of AH2 that they were not going to upgrade their computer to play AH3, I almost fell into that category if not for a couple of friends.
some came over didn't like what they saw-trees water nighttime-basically the graphics didn't change enough to make them stay.
FTP games-that in the long run aren't free-upgrades cost.
maybe real life stuff.
SOME PEOPLE CAN'T GET THEIR WAY IN HERE.
maybe some people just get tired of playing the same game year after year{hard to believe}
due to some unfortunate circumstances I was out for 7 months but I thought about this game every day, and did everything I could to get back.
I was even paying 116.00 a month just for internet for 2 years just so I could play here. I pay a lot less now hehe.

I didn't even have a computer until 2006 when I saw an ad for Aces Hight2 on the Military or history channel, then went in debt to get a computer, wasn't even interested in computers until I saw the ad.

I don't no why people are leaving.

Because there's a core group of us who are hanging on because we love the way the game is designed, but that obviously isn't a way that attracts the current gamer, and to take a risk and change this may kill the game overnight, so instead there is a slow bleed hoping for...  What exactly?  What catalyst event to turn things around? 

A drastic change is probably necessary but a drastic change might also end this once and for all.

If we are going to go slow bleed then I'd start by admitting that we have 1996-1999 Air Warrior III Europe Theater numbers (about 150 per arena) and then ask why we're still playing maps better served by 2-3 times that number, and if that still makes sense.
