I think the idea of making TT and FT bases uncapturable is a great one.

a big <S> to all who have been in the beta arena since the release.  I haven't had this much fun in quite some time.  Folks leaving others to 1 vs 1 unless a call for help goes out.  No HO's on 1st pass, no smack talk on 200.........it's been a blast, everyone learning the new planes and helping out with graphics and fr issues.  Now if we can only get the MA to behave the same........................


bleh.....I was just in there.  srry man, there were ho's, ganging and lots of smack.  funny considering there was only 13 peeps in there lol

I think it is important to remember that BETA is a TEST arena.

How folks fly in the BETA arena is probably no different than how they fly in the MA. What IS important is the accuracy of the data you supply to HTC during these encounters. I, for one, don't care if I'm Ho'ed, Picked, shot down by planes, or by ack in the BETA arena. I'm checking out my system and my ability to fly, float (pts and ships guns), or GV with the settings HTC has given us.

It's our community feedback to HTC that is going to determine the next update.

You've got it absolutely correct.  Someone came into the MA's yesterday afternoon complaining that someone was trying to capture a base.  Doesn't it matter if there are issues or bugs in towns, map rooms, AAA, GV's etc.?  How about the recent verified bug report that turning down detail makes buildings directly in front of a GV disappear so they can shoot through them?  Probably a useful bug to identify during the Beta test.  Basically, everything should be rung out.

Had some great fights in beta.
One fight in I-16s lasted ten minutes with other cons watching from above,not one pick attempt. :salute
Finally ran out of speed and found the ground,but it was good fun. :aok

I've had the same problem with the Ma mentality. Up'd an lvt and 3 guys strafed me like it was the last base for a map reset. I did notice I could tower after being hit and no kill was award to the other player and other times without being hit a kill was awarded. Guy landed 20 kills in a IL2, I had to laugh thinking what a test.

Is the best and worst. I've had some great fights but you get the other extreme as well. with such a small player base it sadly only takes a few bits of pondscum to spoil it....

I must have been lucky so far, every time I've been in there it's been fun fights all around, I think I've been ganged all of once, and the guy who shot me down apologized for it... Great time in there. Haven't been in the MA much since the Beta opened.

I have learned that, whatever is happening , whining is a loss of time ,in AH ...but I have to ask the MD player who in beta vulched me  for three times in a row........

WHY?????

Oh well  ..never mind.... if you took your satisfaction .... good for you. At least did it help you to  learn anything ??
