Hi all
Wel i just started to play again after 6 months or so and here is some things .
First off after instaling the game i coudnt get 2 weeks free play even tho i made a new account . I just wanted to try to see if the game has improved while i had xmas vication . But then again i payed to try it (shoud be a free 2 day offer or something for old customers)
So to the game , wel i played alot the last days and i manage to get a fair deal of perks and so on but something struck me .
We (bishops) have allmost got the rooks , we had them to 3 bases on the map with a big island with 3 VH bases and large airfields u know , the map we prob play now . Wel rooks fight back very wel and had us pined down , we had fuel 50 % and fighters up but still no help from fellow bishes , we lost alot after this many bases last night , many many hours of dedicated play . Thing is that xperiensed players wil not be vulched at all becouse of the money price/rank thing so they give a damn about defending and rather take the chance of trying to take it back . They are upping from far away bases to get the altitude up and a 0 % chance of getting vulched .
I have thought about this alot maybee the perks/ranks points for taking a base shoud be higher or get better points in defending around the base area .
Like if you hit and shoot down a enemy inside 2 -4 miles outside of the base u get more perks/rank points , this wil get the better pilots to try to defend more , wel just a thought that is .
Another thing is vehicle bases and fuel , why isnt fuel important in a vehicle ??? as somone told me "25% gets you to hell and back " sureley the vehicles shoud use more fuel !!! another thing is that ammo inside a VH base coud have 2 types of ammo bunkers , like 1 for each type ( AP / HE ammo ) or a storage . tactical it woud be cool becouse u coud disable the enemys vehicles to get AP ammo /HE ammo.
Wel thats allso alittle thought :)
Overall i have to say that the game has improved and maybee its me but seems like the connection is better then last time i played (less warping ) .

What you say about vets reluctance to to defend bases may be true to some degree. I don't know. I don't take off of vulced bases because I don't enjoy dying repeatedly, score has nothing to do with it, and you don't lose perks unless you try to take a perk unit.
Many veterans are not motivated by perks at all.
Vehicles don't use fuel at all. I don't know why HTC decided to do that, but they did. Fuel at V Fields has no effect.
The HE and AP ammo bunker idea is interesting for airfield VHs, but V Field VHs are so fragile that it would be redundant.
Actually, now that tanks are so damaging to hangars I'd like to see V Field VH durability incrreased to match the durability of VHs at airfields.

Did you use the same email as your previous account? If so I think that is why you didn't get another free trial period.

Yes i did use the same email , but still there shoud be a option for old cutomers to try again for a few days , and not only "new" accounts .
