Vulagar, knowing that your going to get flamed for stating your opinion which will not be accepted well, but I can agree with your assessment or at least didnt see anything too far off the mark.

With the almost 100% map coverage radar has now, why even bother having radar at all now. Just show on the map the locations of all planes flying at any given moment. The 65 foot thing seems odd as well. I can't even read that on the altimeter. Trying to fly that low puts my frame rate in the dirt. Maybe if I had 10K to spend on a way cool gaming PC.

IMHO game play was at it's best when I first started out. It's to bad we couldn't roll back to AH II V1.0.0 (keeping the new planes and GVs of course).

Agreed!! 100%

Would like to be able to see what altitude the planes are at also!!

 attacking people verbally, and threatening violence,

LMFAO thats what I pay my 15 bucks for!

Your position as a "Aces High Trainer" apparently gives you the authority and or right to threaten people with bodily harm.

Del has threatened me a few times, he dropped torpedos on my town once........

[B4Buster]

All very true, and I agree.  Yet some of you are holding a Trainer to a different standard when he says something you find offensive.  "Hey, you're a trainer, you shouldn't be saying things like that!"

If everyone is given the same respect, everyone should be given the same leeway.  You guys are trying to enforce a double standard on Ghosth.  I'm kind of surprised by that.

Those weren't torpedoes, they were used condoms.   

edit: I had to edit that one so it wouldn't be rule #6'd.

I use those as water balloons.

DaveChapelle: I'm sorry mister I'm gonna have to charge you for that weed that'll be 60$
WillyNelson: Damn 60$ I remember when a dimebag used to cost a dime....


WillyNelson: Do you know how much condoms cost back in the day?
Dave Chapelle: No....how much
WillyNelson: Don't know we didn't use em!

I've never understood how the folks who all crow about the need for "realism" suddenly rush to defend some arbitrary, unrealistic rule dreamed up around some conference table about some "problem" that's been around for, oh, about a decade or so without having too much of an impact on gameplay.
I agree with you about degradation of game play. So many arbitrary rules intended to fix problems and just causing other problems. This thing was a hell of a lot more fun when the community was allowed to find its own way.

I've been reading all these threads about the new radar settings.  Before I begin I played Friday night and most of the day yesterday and they made no difference to me although for the record I think 65' is too low.

What I don't get is all the people jumping for joy over these settings because they will limit the NOE crowd.  For the most part, these same people are those who always say they don't care about winning the war and, if you are to believe them, are ACM masters who could single handedly take down an entire hoard of "skilless dweebs".  If you don't care about winning the war then why care about the NOE base takers?  I don't and haven't cared about either one.  I just want to kill people and blow suff up.

Frankly, when the NOE guys take a single base deep in the enemy backfield it just creates more fights on that part of the map.  I always thought that was a good thing.  Evidently I was mistaken.

On the other hand, if you do care about winning the war, then one of your strategies has just been taken from you.  What were once 5-10 man NOE missions will now turn into 20-30 man hoard missions.  Even I with my modest skills stood a chance against 5-10 low 110's but I don't want to be anywhere near the 30 man hoard with alt and E.

I don't know.  You guys can all spout your awsome skills and ACM prowess and jump on each other's ankles but I don't see any good coming from this.  Like I said, I don't get it.

well said, thank you.

But but, they were doing NOES!!!  NOES!!

Do you realize the effect it was having on the game??

It was upsetting people who couldn't care less if a base was taken or not.

These same people will find a new red headed stepchild to harp about.

And then some people around a conference table will suddenly have an "epiphany" and make some new rules.

It will NEVER end.
