Aces High General Discussion / Re: Bench/Tower Sitters Revisited

« Last post by Animl-AW on Today at 08:04:53 AM »

All true, I watched.

But ya dod have 42 online when other countries had 23-25. Nits dropped to 18.
Ya can’t have one squad massive horde destroy the entire map. IMO.

Those full country hordes are destructive to the game itself.
Exactly why ENY is needed.

Not only that but rook and bish full country horde put everything on one base, which slows map win. Why
Maps are lasting longer. Many times 30+ vs 7. That is a total waste of game play. That could have been 3 other battles. So I ignore the full country horde complaints, they are part of the very problem, it makes players log off and things get even worse. When its full country gangbang its not even worth playing the game, many don’t. They come in see a retarded 2 full country gangbang and just log back off. I personally log off. Nits don’t have anything to throw at that. Sad these hirde make it even worse by attacking the already weak. Its bully.

So its hard to listen to one destructive force complaining about not able to be worse. Thats not my point <shrug>

Point is, non-flying players affecting ENY.

<shrug>

I have never paid attention to ENY as I will fly usually midwar..

Nor who is flying and who is not ... just looking for a few good red planes to tangle with...the rest of it is just noise imo..

Custom Skins / Bf 109G-10 "Green 7"

« Last post by Devil 505 on Yesterday at 11:05:36 PM »

This is a replacement for Fencer's Jg 300 skin.

Bf 109G-10 of 11./JG 300. Prague-Kbely, Czechoslovakia. May 1945. This aircraft was a late production G-10 from the Erla plant finished in overall RLM 81 dark green. At some point the engine cowling was replaced with parts from an earlier built Erla G10 that was painted in gray camouflage. The prop spinner and oil tank cover were painted in RLM 70 black-green. The blue-white-blue Reich defense band which wraps the tail and a bright green 7 are highly visible against the dark camouflage paint.

Custom Skins / Re: Franz Götz's Dora

Here's the skin I'm replacing Edbert's original.

Fw 190D-9 flown by Werner Zech of 14./JG 26 on March 18, 1945. On this day, IV./JG 26 was bounced near Dümmer Lake by Mustangs of the 339FG. As soon as Capt. Francis Gerard reached a firing position behind Werner Zech's D-9, Zech bailed out and landed with minor injuries.

Technical Support / Re: Server to download Map's

« Last post by Molsman on Yesterday at 09:23:34 PM »

I used to never have issues with downloading terrains until a few months ago when the Server started to freeze and I noticed at the same time my Frame Rates were dropping while downloading a map but I didn't take that into consideration since I was only downloading a new terrain and not playing the game at the same time.

I still think a timer for those in the tower (10-15 minutes) and then pull them out of the ENY calculations. Hitech liked the idea,, just getting him to coad it up might be the issue at this point.

Bish ENY was at 25 for a good part of the night (Thursday) and the Puppies were having squad night. ENY would jump as we mustered in the tower for the mission, but even after we launched it was still very high.

I was thinking as many on our radio were complaining about the ENY, if we where on the other side with a crap ton of players hitting us, would they still be complaining, but about being ganged? Take ENY away, or soften it up and those getting hit with it may be happy, but when the tide turns and the other team has the soft hit of ENY and are slamming you with a horde, are you thinking its still a good idea?

The biggest issue with ENY..... and has always been, is the players not being comfortable using crappy planes to fight. The last missions of the night for the Puppies was to sink a battleship group. With the ENY we were stuck with crappy planes with crappy bomb loads. Some guys hit it 3 or 4 times and dying each time. They finally got it but I know a number of guys logged off because they did want to bother with the ENY.

I think ENY can be cleaned up. I wish Hitech would go through and re-evaluate the ENY of each plane as I think things have changed through the years. I dont think it can be "fixed" as your never going to make everyone happy, but if it is cleaned up and the tower sitters can be removed from the ENY count it might be enough to calm the player base.
