Thing is canacka I DID try to explain it to you.
I was short and concise and I thought pretty clear.
I will rephrase my post and see if that helps.
AcesHigh is about Aerial Combat. That is the "point" of the game.
There are many facets in the game that HiTech put in there to help facilitate Aerial Combat.
The reason we have bombers is to help promote Aerial Combat.
Same thing with GV's, Carrier groups, Field Captures, etc.
Consider those things the "sidedish" whereas Aerial Combat is the "main course".
I was merely correcting you when you said that the "point" of the game is to "win the war" and that just is not true.
Far from it actually.
Those that play to "win the war", to me, are missing out on the best part of the game.
Bombing? (easy).
Ground Vehicles? (simple).
Base captures? (we've all see 50 noobs swarm a field and get it, nothing difficult about field takes)
Aerial Combat? Now that is HARD. It takes years and years and years to get "good" at it, which for me is what makes it so enjoyable.
Think that one through a bit.
Which would be the "point" of a game. The things any 2 week new player can do? Or something that takes years to master?
I fully understand those that gravitate to the "Sideshow" stuff. Learning to get good at Aerial Combat is HARD. Especially w/ the younger crowd. They don't have the attention span (most of 'em) to practice for a year or 3 to get "decent", so they gravitate towards the "easy" stuff like base captures, bombers and GV's. (granted this holds true for many of the older crowd as well) It is the whole "path of least resistence" bit.
Of COURSE the bottom line of the game is to enjoy yourself.
Nobody is telling anybody they have to play a certain way, at least I am not.
As far as the DA is concerned it is only there so players can duel. That is the Arenas "purpose". I don't 'count' Dweeb Lake as they are not using the arena as intended. (as has been stated by HTC) Mostly squeakers and former H2H noobs who can't cut it in the MA. They don't wanna have to climb or fly for 10-15min so they can die dumb trying to HO someone so they go to Dweeb Lake where they only have to fly 2-3 min before they die dumb.
(edit: I would like to add that if you practice with a good Trainer for a year or three you will probably "get" what I am trying to say. It is a perspective thing. I can see where you are coming from of course, I was new once. Maybe after you log the hours/days/weeks/months/years to get proficient at Aerial Combat you just might see where I am coming from. BUT most importantly HAVE FUN doing it. Fun is the key here)
