Vent bomb**** free arena

[Jayhawk]

For the record, I'm not in favor of a gv only arena. Where you got that from I can only guess. I just like fast action. If I have only an hour to play sometimes, I dont like spending half of it driving. I suppose someone else wanting to have fun in a way that is different from your own is a yank to your whitey tighties. If there was a good gv spot like we have at 135 on all bases that didnt interfere with the land grabbers we would have a lot more tank guys playing. As of late, Ive logged in for only 45 minutes or so only to become bored and log. What bothers me the most is that a large percentage of the concerns and opinions are comming from people I rarely see in a gv. If you rarely gv then why should it matter to you. Thats not the case here.

I've been doing the same thing, logging in for a bit, not finding much I want to do, then logging off.  Do we blame the game?  There really haven't been any significant changes to the game that would scare me off.  Sure I'd like to see a better strat system, but I did just fine for months with our current system, so I can't really blame that.

You can't really blame the game for you not having fun in it.  You've probably been playing for quite some time, so why now is GVs getting bombed ruining your good time?

Nope, I egg right back.

Two words: MARKET RESEARCH


HTC would have to have it done but I'd like to see the results before "assuming" potential profit away.

My best guess is you aren't in marketing are you?

...and whos to say that his research doesn't say that people LIKE bombing GVs and is one of the top 3 reasons they play?

No I'm not in "Marketing" but I understand it, and I'm open minded enough to see more of the big picture. No I don't see it all in the big picture as I'm sure I have my blind spots as well. Like Jayhawk said, they seem to be doing alright at HTC.

I don't spend much time in GVs, heck I don't get to spend much time in planes these days  but I like those that bomb GVs, I've done it myself. To me it's a fun place to find a fight. Come in hvy, pop a couple of GVs and then chase down others who come in hvy to get me some A2A kills. While I don't spend much time in GVs they are pretty important to game play for me.

THEY DIDN'T BOMB TANKS IN TEH WAR!!! 


Oh wait.  They did.

[LLogann]

Poignant Sir!

Understand the frustration, there's a couple things to try.  First off there's a GV area in the dueling arena, I'm not sure how much use it sees but if you may be able to get a few friends in there for some uninterrupted GV fights.  Alternatively if there are attack craft patrolling the skies over the GV fight in the MA, put a call out on country channel that sounds like a target rich environment to this fighter pilot.

What more, needs to be read.......

  There are many people here who for whatever reason do not want to fly but like the ground game.  A couple of months ago, I got tired of driving 5k, getting bombed, driving 5k, getting bombed. upping a flak, driving 5k to find tanks waiting, etc, etc.  So I quit AH and tried World of Tanks....didn't like it so I came back here.
  There have been many threads asking for a bomber free arena for GV'ers.  I can't understand why some people fly to tank town just to screw up other people's game.  Can't fly and need easy kills?  Want to see their name when they land them?  When trying to take or defend a base, tanks are fair game in my opinion, but when bombers interrupt a good tank fight, I don't get it.  Sometimes both sides on the ground just want a gv battle( yes, aviator types, there are people who would prefer that you not bomb the other tanks or take down the vhangers).
  I've spent a lot of time online gaming (was muzz in Air Warrior days). I know, that's ancient history to most of you but it was fun.. people would actually stand off and let you have a 1v1 instead of 10 piling on 1...yeah I used to fly.
  Hitech, you have an arena for WW1 which is rarely used...why not a GV arena which would be?

Done venting now...but I don't think I want to continue paying for what I'm getting here.  That being the case, I'm cancelling my subscription.

zippo       BTW bombers...................... ............................. ............byte me

This is the exact reason why tank klubb was started back in the day of this game.

We had a lot of people show up in the DA and we had some awesome fun.

Of course there was one or two dummys that tryed to bomb us but he got bored early and our fun continued on.

[VonMessa]

i guess you've never flown bombers for over an hour only to get shot down by LUSCH just before you get to the target...if you're driving around in a tank for 30 minutes without ever firing a shot, you're not in a tank battle, you're just putzing around.

Why not the invisible icons for enemy?

I can see tanks on the ground pretty easily from the air and it's not hard to realize that a vehicle without an icon is indeed the enemy.

I can also see the tracers when they fire from cover which allows me to see thier location in the trees.

From the ground point of view, a red icon is pretty necessary at times since it seems not all tracers are visible at all times.........at least for me.

What kind of vehicle do you see on the ground easily? From how far away?

By the time you see icons, 1500 yards, you are within WW gun range anyhow.

I identify AAA gvs primarily when they start shooting more than by their icon.

Otherwise, it's just a dot.

Back when I had a Gateway "low end special", GVs would appear as large black dots from very far away.  Not sure if anything in-game has changed, but my current graphics are quite good and I can't spot a stationary GV until within icon range.

I remember Muzz from the AW days.  He's a good dude and I'm sure he had probably been bombed multiple times in the MA and got PO'ed and posted the OP.  I too can get frustrated, but what the heck, I won't quit. I'll just hunt down the bastage that kept killing me and return the favor.  But rest assured, if you are a spawn camper, I will gleefully come egg you. 

[ImADot]

I up a fighter and fly in fighter mode.  Many people have the unmitigated gall to shoot me down.  I demand an arena where I cannot be shot down... meh, maybe I'll just cancel my subscription.
