last night there was about 60 or 70 players and there was plenty of planes to shoot at. so I think this "no fights anywhere" statement that people like to use is just bs.
I don't know your whereabouts, but for me finding a fight has often been difficult lately. And I know how to find or make one by flying over an enemy base. Surviving is another thing, though...
The lack of action may be due to the hours I mostly have time to play, after household duties and before slumbering. I've heard that round midnight local time the going gets tougher. I guess that's the prime time for the British, French, Spanish, maybe Germans and Italian. Maybe it's just that on the GMT+2 line there aren't very many AH'ers? Looking at the time zone map, only in Europe there are over 300 million inhabitants in the GMT and GMT+1 areas, in GMT+2 the countries are smaller with only about one third of that. I also have a feeling, that there aren't too many Turkish players around? Leaving Turkey out, the European GMT+2 area would populate only one tenth compared to +1 and 0.
This leads me to a philosophical question about people's interest in WW2 online games or AH in particular. There's been at least one thread asking for the players' location, and if my memory serves me right, there weren't many answers from African or Asian countries, if any. Am I right to suppose that this kind of gaming is most popular in the Western world or the First world or highly developed countries, whichever of the terms suits best? That would explain the silentness despite big numbers during my playing hours: The few Russians (+3), are beginning to log out, Iranians (+3:30) aren't allowed to play, the Western Asians (+5) are asleep and the Western players have just logged in but are AFK waiting for their action to begin, balancing between TV and AH.
