Tell ya what, WW2OL was a really fun game for awhile. I can't remember what kinda nerfed it... had something to do with the Player-Leaders having "too much" control. Been awhile.

There was some weird stuff that the devs refused to acknowledge or fix. I remember towing an 88 to an airfield once and we were shooting spitfires and they'd just suck it up and fly off. And I think they were forcing side balancing which started to break up squads (which imho was a core part of the games enjoyment).

There was a way to turn off auto side switch balancing, I forgot how. Long time ago you used to be able to sneak towns with enough guys which was a lot of fun, but they changed the rules and made it where you had to have an attack order to be able to capture something. No AO = town is uncapturable. I play it off and on especially since now you have the option to play for 100% free with a very limited set of items you are allowed to spawn in with. That had given the game a big shot in the arm for the number of players active and online in the server, along with $ tiers that go from cheap monthly rates with more but limited spawnables until you get to their normal fee for the regular stuff. Then they had a dev support tier which is more then the base cost but it gave you titles available to your name for that tier only along with a few additional spawnable support items and other stuff. And yes that payment tier works there just fine. Something like that here would get the numbers higher, but its never going to happen. Changes here are not allowed because only one guy thinks its right and everyone else is wrong.

You guys will sell your crap anywhere.. DCS Cockroaches
Any new planes? A shame new production and bug fixes shut down, ya know bugs just hanging in suspended animation.
Too bad, had a chance of being a decent game.
Maybe they should have hired subcontractors, oh thats right, they can’t pay their bills.
Maybe start a gofundme page. I can donate $5 in dimes from under my car seat. Mismanagement is everywhere
Owell, maybe someone will buy it and finish it. Maybe they can do some real IT work with servers then.
A shame ya look so desperate
Are they going to get a loan to pay off investors they got to save their last bad financial situation? Ya know, since more of their players are afraid to pre-pay for new planes DCS can’t seem to afford, and fewer pre-pays digs a deeper pit
Owell, AH will out live it, there will always be real fun found here. Cuz damn pushing buttons instead of fighting is so much more fun.

I wonder why IL2 isn't more popular? Its got normal servers that are like ah with icons with easy mode engine management where you can air start a mile or two from the main combat area, dogfight servers that have no icons and full engine management with air starts in a small combat area while at the same time running servers with battles like fso or an AH scenario like combat box.
Unless you are into jets, it seems to me that IL2 would be the closest to AH3. I really enjoy both and the fact that you can get into IL2 silly cheap with close to a dozen planes when it's on sale seems to make it a good deal to me.
I've downloaded and flow the 51 and the 24 offline and to me it didn't seem significantly better. Maybe I was missing something.
To each his own I guess.

during the 20-30 minutes spent on the tarmac getting ready to fly, I can be in 2-4 fights in AH. That's before you even leave the ground.

It's hard to say. The whole game seems to have an odd foreign feel to it. It can't seem to grab my interest. Hard to explain. Personally I don't care to be giving my money to foreign country products, I'm an American Made kinda guy.
That said, if the best and most fun sim AH ever actually dies,.... I MIGHT give IL-2 a shot. It's just not drawing me in like this concept.

I think Eastern Front focus held them back a lot over the years.
The sim market is 90+% US centric.
This is an interesting observation. I have noticed that in IL2 it seems that most of the players are not from the US with the exception of the combat box server.

If IL-2 had a setup like AH, then it would be significantly more popular. Fortunately they can't figure out how to get it to work or it'd be a done deal now. Even if they could get the numbers thing in, I'd say flying a bomber wouldn't amount to jack unless bombing something strategic would have results like here in AH.

Probably because nowadays "immediately everything here now"-attitude. If there's no action in 10 seconds after TO, it's boring. Folks have pants in their ants, hurry hurry and no patience at all.
I'm mostly nowadays in Finnish server w/ tank. Full realism, big eastern front map. One needs patience and ability to orientate with map and compass. Not for "points to me immediately"-ADHD boys. Like yesterday, was on a way to enemy tank base, about 15 min drive, when after some 5 min drive found fortification by accident. Mangled that stronghold by destroying 8 T34s, 5 T70s, 8 Zil5 trucks and one heavy howitzer. Then had to drive back to take more ammo.
After that, drove to that tank base, someone had bombed it flat already. Saw w/ binoculars big enemy fortification on the distance. There was a river between us and big open steppe before railway bridge. While passing that steppe, saw T34 in ambush. Hit it several times from extreme distance but could not destroy it and then came IL-2 ground attack kite and I was killed.
All that took couple of hours and I really enjoyed it, except being killed but hey, no insults or anything in comms. It's war, crap happens. I was with Pzkw IV G (https://aergistal.github.io/il2/vehicles/pziv-g.html). Good gun, fast reload but armor could be better.
Despite being killed, I made good advance for our troops by destroying that first stronghold and made some good points. There, one fights mostly for his country, not so much for own ego to get name on spotlights.

Ah, the good ol "I want the game to play for me" crowd. Seriously, those little chits have brought the gaming industry down so damn low... Give em a physical book and they'd be completely lost on how to use it.
I saw it when I decided to dabble in War Thunder again. What was once a 45m match is now your stereotypical 20m match you see in most games, can't get watermelon done. It's asinine beyond any form of reason. They say the new gen is more intelligent, yet games now-a-days, alone, show me that is far from the truth.

Il-2 and DCS are foreign made products. AH is American made and based.

The aces high flight model is.... just okay IMHO. DCS and IL2 handle more like real aircraft, (hard to describe, but I will use a heavy on the stick kinda feel) but can be complex as in DCS which they call hi fidelity. In IL2 I have been is some insane fights that were multiples times harder than in here.
However, AH3 is easy to jump into and do lots of stuff, it is FUN! Sadly, this game was so badass when the numbers were here, huge raids low level NOTE flying in 110's and huge bomber formations etc. Some of the decline may the dated graphics but I think most of it is people getting tired of the "gaming the game," flying off map, spying with multiple accounts which has gotten way out of hand, I haven't flown in a while for RL reasons but before I took a break I noted some guys were spending $45 a month for multiple accounts for what? Fast swapping sides to Rack up cartoon kills. Pathetic.

Il2 and DCS certainly offer more complexity, but as you said AH setup used to allow quick entry to action. The lack of player base short circuits the ability to get said action nowadays. I have a few squadies that like DCS, one that likes IL2, and the bulk of the swine are found on our dedicated ARMA 3 server. Flight model in ARMA is better than War Thunder and less realistic than AH. The choppers are fun as heel to fly though!
