Title: Rolling Plane Set
Post by: garrido on November 20, 2001, 04:41:00 AM
I think that already it is hour of a RPS in the MA of AH.
 You who you think?
I want to see Spitfire V versus 109 F4 and noncMc202 versus F4U-4

not but concessions to gameplay, please

 greetings

Supongo

I don't like the idea, i like to fly what i want when I want.  I don't wanna have to wait to take up a dora or another late war plane.  And i'm sure there are people who enjoy flying the P-51D all the time, they spend their $15 a month shouldn't they be allowed to fly their P-51D whenever they want?

The RPS idea sounds interesting, maybe in a different arena though.

Not in the MA, it's just for fun.

seperate areas within the arena would work.

Garrido,

I don't care what you fly and I expect you to not dictate what I fly. It is already restricted enough with the "perk" system for peoples choices of what to play with.

Just fly your plane as you want and let others do the same.

RPS in the MA?


No.

You already CAN fly the early-war stuff and even get a points bonus for doing so.

The only think that will drive me away from AH is a rolling planeset in the MA.

I don't like the idea of an RPS.

But.. a question for HiTech: what is the maximum number of different aircraft/vehicles that AH will currently support?

My guess it that's a fixed number.  At some point, HTC will excede that number and an RPS will be inevitable.

But until that day comes.... everything in the MA at all times gets my vote.

Can't do an RPS...the whining of the One Trick Ponies drowns out the engine sounds.

LOL Popeye.

I'd really like to see an RPS...  In another arena.  

Set the CT up exactly the same as the MA, except:

1. Flight is disabled for Bish.

2. Knights have Axis aircraft only.

3. Rooks have Allied aircraft only.

4. Scenario Icons. (3.0k max range.)

5. Rolling Plane Set.

Now I like that idea Funkedup.
I would visit CT more often with that setup  :D

I like Funks idea too.  I still not sure a RPS is needed...not until more early war planes are introduced.  Still, I'd like to see that with the CT.

I would like Funked's idea to be implimented as well.

I'd play in both arenas, which would depend on my mood and what I wanted.

RPS has some advantages, but many disadvantages.  Lets not take a game we like and try to make it become the other we used to fly.  If we wanted the features of the other one, we could have stayed there.

Hello friends:

All their opinions are very respectable, but there are things that I do not understand.

 If AH is, it assumes, a simulator battle of the WWII, so that they are so obstinate to have a RPS?

 The war is born (unfortunately) in 1939, so that we always flew with 1944/45 airplanes?

If they do not want a RPS, there is necessity of early airplanes of the war, because very few people fly 109E, or Spitfire I, or CR42 if they must face against a Spitfire XIV, F4U etc.

Nonserious pretty to have the CR42, D520, the He51 or the Glatiator (among other many) and to emulate the combats on France, Crete, or the invasion of Russia?

 Think, that serious possible with a RPS in the MA and serious ideal for the CT or the Events

A greeting

Supongo

 P.D.: if we followed, AH arrived at the war of Korea without seeing fly sad P40 or P36. Is my opinion


Hola amigos:

Todas sus opiniones son muy respetables, pero hay cosas que no entiendo.
Si AH es, se supone, un simulador de combate de la WWII, por que son tan reacios a tener un RPS?
La guerra nace (por desgracia) en 1939, por que volamos siempre con aviones de 1944/45?
Si no quieren un RPS, no hay necesidad de aviones tempranos de la guerra, pues muy pocas personas volarian 109E, o Spitfire I, o CR42 si se tienen que enfrentar contra un Spitfire XIV, F4U etc.
No seria bonito tener el CR42, D520,  el He51 o el Glatiator (entre otros muchos) y emular los combates sobre Francia, Creta, o la invasion de Rusia?
Piensen, eso seria posible con un RPS en la MA y seria ideal para la CT o los Events

Un saludo

Supongo

P.D.: si seguimos asi, AH llegara a la guerra de Korea sin ver volar un triste P40 o P36.
Es mi opinion

"If AH is, it assumes, a simulator battle of the WWII"

A common misconception.  The AH MA doesn't re-create any past war or conflict, it is a battle happening NOW on our computers.  The combatants are the Knights, Rooks, and Bishops.  This war just happens to use WW2-era equipment, not unlike the "Soccer War" of the 1960's.

Why not try enjoying the MA for what it is--a fantasy air war between non-existant countries in a non-existant world?

Garrido, most of us are against an RPS, because we tried one in Warbirds and didn't like it.

And I don't see any reason why it would be any different in AH.

I'm a big fan of rolling plane sets (ducks to avoid tomato thrown by J_A_B), but I've got to admit that it's never been popular in AW, either.  We used to have RPS in Fightertown.  People enjoyed it for the first few days, then started to whine that they couldn't fly their hot rod plane.

The odd thing about the AH reaction to the proposal, though, is this:  Folks here seem to be obsessed with equating AH with a Real War.  Be careful what channel you talk on.  Ganging is a good thing, like it was in Real Life.  Landgrab is All.  And so on.  The resistance to historical a/c on historical sides just doesn't seem to fit.

I liked RPS in WB.
It forced you to fly and learn a variety of planes.
I like variety, therefore I liked RPS.
A lot of folks don't like variety, therefore they probably won't like RPS.
No way to make everyone happy on this one.

Oh well.
