Whats porked about AH:
Lag
CTD's
Furballs
Small Maps
Bad armor model
to many spits, La 7's and Georges
The more people who play the worse it all gets
Biased plane set
It's starting to look old
Bomber's nead a rethink( or somthing)
CT still has a fubared rank sys
Special event's have horable lag

"Special event's have horable lag"
Look at the MOTD in th SEA, it's on the same pipe as the main now. Flew the BOB training in there, and it was pretty warp-free.
-
"to many spits, La 7's and Georges"
But all the P-51Ds are fine.:rolleyes:
I just don't understand why the P-51D has a "cloak invisible" effect.
By AKDejaVu's stats the P-51D is the single most common aircraft in AH. But does it get mentioned? No, everybody just blames the Spit, N1K2 and La-7.
-
Well Karnak you are right, I just find P 51 so freaking boaring to fight I just go low and ignore them, I havent got all day to fight one plane. But ya screw the P 51 's too:)
-
Biased planeset?
Biased against who exactly?

edit: nm, was thinking about another post when I clicked on reply :rolleyes:
-
ÜBER WHINE ;)
-
Furballs???
Where?????
9 out of 10 times I see only raids, ergo players avoiding air combat and going for the easy kills.
In the ndisle map I started flying more and more on the center isle to get some descent fights.
-
I dont mind the spits and nikis its those darn I can be anywhere in hyperspace la-7s that I hate. One minuete there, next HERE. I hate their rocketship flight envelope. Is that really how they were? Im amazed really.
:eek:
-
The plane set is biased in that their are a disporpanate number of planes for certain countries and signastudmuffinently less for other countries. The bias extends even furhter, in terms of capabalities for aircraft types modeled, who are generaly not given the full weight of ordance options which would enable them to compeat with their enemys. I howeaver nead to say this: I know HTC build's planes and does not care whear they came from what country " country of orgin is not an issue to HTC" or so I have been led to beleave from post's I have seen them make. Ya know what it is to me, and I think it is to a number of people, I think that the USA cup runith over in terms of aircraft modeling in AH, I think one new Japanese plane in one year is, well disapointing. No new Italine plane since Beta, appaling, The Russian planes are almost as bad. I know It is easy for me to armchair quarterback this whole thing, and not realy fair for me to do so, but I look at the numbers and I am disapointed.( not to mention countries not represented at all)
-
In all farness I must say I do not mind the Georges so much, they have been so tame since they were castrated, I would leave them alone with my sister.
-
Yes this an UBER WHine, why not go all the way, no mucking about hear.

I don't normally take people to task on spelling/grammar on these boards, for two reasons: Their first language may not be English, and they may be brilliant at other things. Well Brady is brilliant in a GV, if it's the guy I'm thinking of. But I can't stand the spelling! "It's doing me 'ead in", as one of my brother's school pupils might have said.
Special event's have horable lag
Why, WHY, WHY do so many people think that every pluralised word must have an apostrophe before the last S? And what's this word, "horable"? The plane set is biased in that their are a disporpanate number of planes for certain countries and signastudmuffinently less for other countries.
Their? Disporpanate? Signastudmuffinently? WTF! Did you mean there, disproportionate, significantly? Tip: If uncertain whether to use "their" or "there", try substituting the word "my". If it sounds reasonable, you probably want "their". We wont talk about they're. :rolleyes:
We'll skip over some of the typos and Americanisations, but what's this compeat with their enemys.
Brady!!! It's compete and enemies! Words ending in Y are pluralised by replcing the Y with IES, except words ending in EY, like turkey, monkey, donkey, valley.
Would I trust you to refuel my car? Would I trust you to refuel your own car?! Good job you live in Oregon, where they don't allow you to pump your own gas - the attendant has to do it. :rolleyes: Same in NJ if I remember correctly.
Brady, do more reading! I recommend broadsheet newspapers and the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I repeat, I would not normally take you to task, but this post is so bad that it's almost unintelligible.
-
Brady, I don't think we can exactly call it a 'bias', at least not in the active term.
It is only natural that the majority of people's interest usually lies in Allied planes that saw action in the Western Front(this is a trend that exists, nothing wrong about that), and it is not surprising while most of the Allied planes have wide range of loadouts, the planes that flew in the Eastern Front or for the Axis forces are missing a lot of detail.
The priority is usually set around some planes, and there can be various number of reasons why other planes are not depicted to its full potential - and, lack of data is probably the largest reason there is.
Now, I think it is fair to say the response time that HTC shows for addressing issues brought up for/against Eastern Front/VVS/Axis planes is a bit slower than issues that concern Allied aircraft, but as I said, it is a completely understandable trend. I don't think HTC is biased, and I don't think they are ignoring things on purpose.
I'm one of those people who would be thrilled to see all the proposals you make in Aircraft/GV forums come true, but I don't think this sort of post would help in any way, brady :(
-
i dont think it is a whine.. brady is spot on almost..hes just telling it as it is..
Im with you all the way Brady on this..LAG is the worst thing we have, and would like this sorted before we get anymore aircraft..
the game has turned into a massive furball since new buff system came in.. and the lag is horrid.. going back to the old maps hasn't helped either.. they just encourage furballing..eg, the island map used to be won in about 1-2 hours now it takes 1-2 days, thats must be down to the buffs..
CDTs well cant comment on them,, i get them about twice a day, but im not into the tech side of comps so i can't comment.
Furballs..are pretty boring after a few sorties into them, but sometime the game is just one big FB and if you are a fighter pilot have not much choice if you want to fight..most frustrating .
Can't belive the small maps were brought back..pizza map is the best we have.. it has its faults..( bases to close together).
armor you just don't know whats gonna happen when your attacked.. its pure chance i feel..need sorting.
la7 & niks i feel people can fly what they want.. but i would like to see fields that you can only fly specific planes from..eg.. on island map say A9 only had zeros, ki61 and niks. A10 only had f6f f4u& f4fs.. just an example..
more people the worst it gets ... yes why is that? is it to many people on server?
bias planes.. well HTC has gone for the most famous planes of WWII understandably.. but by bias planes you mean the lack of italian , japanese & russian types then i agree..
Starting to look old.. cant comment as i only play AH on-line..
bombers need rethink... yes
CT scoring.. cant comment never anyone in there to make me want to enter..
special events.. think the lag is unforgivable in the #SEA
-
beet1e, the gas pumper in me would say, Bite me, but the person who said F all to his spelling thechers and who is considerate enough to appoligise for his poor spelling begs your paticence, and asks that you look to what I am saying and not how I am spelling it.
Kweassa, Thats why I said what I said above, I do not think it is an intenional Bias, it is just that well their does not seam to be any changes after all this time, and I am growing disgrunteled. Look at the last patch, dishartning. You may very well be right it may not be helping my case but for along time I have been polite and paticent and I have waited, I get more fead back more results and more exposhure by being blunt rude and to the point.

Sure it is but it's OK for me cause, yes, he tells the truth in his initial post. I dont like his post cause all the topics are discussed in single threads so why have a summary?
BTW beet1e: some guys have problems with orthography that u might not have, so why bother about brady's spelling?
Did u bother about HiTech's too?
-
Brady - so noted! You are forgiven. Sorry to sound like a snob, but I come from a time when the three Rs were considered important.
Duedel - I take your point about Hitech. But like Brady, he is brilliant in other ways.
-
Bomber's nead a rethink( or somthing)
The bombers are fine, as are their bombsights and Hitech has apparently talked about making target's a little more dense.
-
beet1e

beet1e, thanks:)
Revvin, yes you are corect i agree that they are ok, I do like what HTC has done with the sight, I howeaver do not like the impact on game play it has had, time and time again I see fighter's ariving at fields without bombs, and when I do see a buff 9 times outa 10 he so low he must be on a sucide run, and more often than not he misses all the hangers and just winds up porking the stores, not a big help at all, bombers are little to no help at base capture now, and the only Perk bomber is usless because of it's high speed and lack of a dive bomb sight.

Hehehe that's one of the curious things about learning english as a foreign language... we non-english speakers are confident enough to use it, but not confident enough to abuse it :D
Well, at least not yet, let me read the boards for a couple more years and... maybe... :D

Not all of those Mustangs are dogfighting. I use the 51D for ground attack more than for any sort of dogfight patrol. On the other hand, if you see an LA-7, N1K2, or Spitfire IX, its a pretty safe bet that it isn't going to go bomb an airbase. Those airplanes are specialized in one role and one role only: dogfighting. On the other hand, all of the US planes can carry their own share of ground ordinance, and often do.

One way to keep the spelling police at bay is to type your posts in MS Word, do a spell check, and then cut and paste it in. However, this is not a real solution, merely a bandaid.
My daughter was a terrible speller. Her nickname is Dolly, therefore, I defined her spelling as "Dolbonics". When we met with school officials, they tried to justify their failure to teach by claiming that since everyone was using word processing software, the "spell-check" feature made spelling skills more or less, obsolete. Of course, this was utter nonsense. I asked them "if college and job applications came with 'spell-check'?" They sat there and just blinked their eyes, oblivious to the point.....
Spelling and grammar falls under the umbrella of "first impression", and therefore, has more value than one may suspect.
However, I would not worry about it, some of the brightest people I know can't spell worth one whit either. Spelling is a skill, not an indicator of intelligence, and it's obvious to me that you're a bright fellow.
My regards,
Widewing

What is your intent by starting this thread and what do you hope to accomplish? Truthfully please....my first thought was not a nice one, but I'm trying to be more sensitive to how others feel.

thank you beetle
-
Brady, I recommend taking a week (or a month) off. AH has not degenerated so much as it sounds like your just frustrated and bored. Yeah the game freezing, CTDs suck. The connect has been sub par for a year. I hope it all will get fixed.
P51s? Very few people in them are really any good. I have no fear of P51s because their angles are so poor. LA7s and Spits with the 40G insta-turn capacity are where the action is at.

LOL!
You guys may not know this but in addition to "Good Rude" there actually IS an "Evil Rude".
It's just that "Good Rude" is much, much stronger than "Evil Rude" and whenever "Evil Rude" slips the leash he's always recaptured and locked back up before he can bite anyone. Well, almost always. :)
Brady, I think Yeager may have it nailed. He's been there and he knows.
-
biased plane set.... the planeset mostly favors planes that actually flew in combat in significant numbers. What you want are national quotas. We need some Rumanian planes.
-
There are too many 'Euro-trash' and 'Rice-Rockets' in the planeset.
Other than that, AH is 'Cheap at twice the Price':p

Come on, Hitech. Let him say what he wants. Many might not agree anyway. There's no point in having a forum if people's opinions are filtered. It would become like the democratic voting system of Zimbabwe eventually. Just look at the numbers flying! Surely that's as big a vote of confidence as you could ask for :)

Biased plane set
Jordi - Well you do have to start somewhere - and not untill ALL planes are modeled will it be non-biased - but hten people may still complain that even though ALL the Italian planes are modled there are too many of other countries planes anyway !
It's starting to look old
Jordi - in what way ?
Bomber's nead a rethink( or somthing)
Jordi - People complained the bombers were TOO easy to bomb and were too accurate - now they are not as easy to bomb and are not accurate enough. The perfect middle ground is always elusive.
CT still has a fubared rank sys
Jordi - No comment - I do not fly there.
Special event's have horable lag
Jordi - It has been / should be fixed. Last few events since the change over has not reported the problems as there was before. The next round of TOD's and the BoB Scenario should be a real TEST.
Your milage may vary.

What is wrong with brady's post?????? :confused:
There are about 5000 other whine posts, so what????
He didn't insult somebody or did he???
I'm getting really confused about the 'proper' BBS conduct.
I'm used to general internet COC, but I didn't know that criticism is forbidden.

What is wrong with brady's post??????

brady is/was on the CT staff (his sig usually mentions it but is conspicuously absent on this post).
I guess when your on "the team" you need to be a little restrained in your criticisms. Seems fair to me.
-
"What is wrong with brady's post?????? "
I bet it was his spelling.

Brady has just been abit errrm over zealous with all these posts of late about problems in the game. I agree with most of the issues he has brought up, but not neccessarily his methods.
at least thats why i 'think' HT stepped in...

SKurj
Think of it this way, too:
Some of the things Brady mentioned are probably already on HT's to-do list. Now, when someone is nagging me about something I planned to do anyway, it's important to me that they know that it wasn't the nagging that got them what they wanted -- after all, I don't want to appear to reward nagging, lest it become more common.
Maybe this is HT's way of doing that.

Excellent observation, myelo! :D Just checked my Oxford dictionary, and it bears out what you say... although other dictionaries allow for the dropped apostrophe. I suppose you also knew that "none" is an abbreviation of "not one"...

Good for furballs, but the world changes too quickly within a week.
Bad armor model
You mean ground vehicle armor, right?
to many spits, La 7's and Georges
Player's choice makes these planes popular. They're also exclusively used for dogfighting, contributing to the furballs, so really, I guess they're intrinisic to the product. I'd like to see the Air Warrior factory system introduced, whereby bombing an aircraft factory would remove that plane from the hangar until the factory was rebuilt.
The more people who play the worse it all gets
That's a bandwidth problem. I'm sure HiTech is working on it.
Biased plane set
Yes! Bring in the French DB520 and Japanese Ki-84 and German Ju-87!
It's starting to look old
You've been flying too much, and I mean that in a good way. I've been there, done that, in Air Warrior, AW2, and AW3.

Yes! Losing a drone wingman shouldn't count as a death.

The last TOD was horrible. Hopefully it'll be corrected in time for the Battle of Britain TOD.

Sounds like enough stuff to make someone want to leave. Why are you still here then?
I think that with ALL of the posts you have made about how bad this game is (please see posts about gv armor, no Japanese planes, Italian planes, German heavy bombers, and the post about how the Val was a bad choice of plane to add to the game) it shows that you are wasting your $15 here. I will be the first to admit that there are some things that I don't like about Aces High or things that I feel can be improved. The thing is, if I feel like posting about it, I only make a single post (as do most people).
See you later Brady, have a nice break and maybe when (or if) you get back, you will see that AH is not nearly as bad as you seem to think it is.

What made brady break acceptable posting protocols and what he is thinking are independent.
Maybe if you try and put yourself in his shoes rather than instaflame you may even agree with him, but the form of the post is what I think HT disliked, don't think HT's ever prohibited useful criticism, however conservative he may seem at this present BB etc's level of acquaintance.

You then proceeded to go into a vertical dive straight down into the drink from 4000 feet at 400 MPH.
I followed you down and nearly splashed in. But I managed to pull up in time.
I was wondering, did I get your elevator just as you nosed over?
The reason I ask is, I am sure thats the second time. Kooky.
If it was a different Montizuma, please ignore.

Every plane in the game has a weakness, People who whine about other planes are the people who fail to notice them....
-
Such constant critisism from someone who is in effect being paid to play AH is a real slap in the face.
The straw in that post and the one that Brady owes an apology for is the plane Bias one.
The truth here is that Pyro uses any and every data he has or is made available to him to model AC accuratley and include planes that people are interested in..
And that HT is burning his butt to fix up 1.10 which was an increadably aggressive and welcome upgrade.(that changed the look of Ah a great deal and added tones of planes for the CT you idiot..including japanese ones from their hay day, and rethought bombing)
So we have a team of responsive openminded people working to make us a great game to thier design with our input and you call them biased....
Brady
with the attitude you have right now if you got everything you ask for you would just whine about how its not what you meant. The first casualty of your armour change will be your beloved ostwind. It will be dead nearly every time it meets a panzer or any medium tank.
You complain about a biased plane set yet also complain that you see too much of certain russian and japanese and British and US planes.
So the bias is obviosly against someone other then the US, Germans, Brits, Jpns or Russians....lol
apologize and take a break.
come back and see that this is a fun game. but just a game. the best that HT and the gang can do, fun for many of us but not perfect. Just always creeping and jumping towards better.
and your becoming part of the problem. not part of the solution.
