The new sights has made the Tiger king of the battle field again in Aces High and it is worth the perk points now.

King right after the 500 lb bomb.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

I was a little disappointed today to find that I couldn't roll down a hill side at 200mph in neutral.   :(

I mean for the sake of argument what would happen to a t34's tracks if we attempted to do this for real?   

and did they have seatbelts and airbags in WW2?

Do you find Death noisy?  Just turn the slider down.

 :x    love it!!   this *should* shut some of the naysayers down, but it wont.   seems some of these guys whine just to whine.   like a spoiled 6 year old that still whines for a bottle, and when he gets it he whines the whole time he's drinking it.   and after it's gone, he whines that it didnt taste good.    the silver lining to this epic whine-fest (not to be confused with wine fests in bordeaux)?  gives us all plenty to read and even more (as if we need more) stupid people to point and laugh at  :aok

They already have three random spots within a half-mile area of the end of the spawn-arrow on the map.

This is one area that still needs improvement. Triple that to a mile and a half

GVing is ALL about the spawn camp.

The "best" gv "battles" are two spawns right on top of each other.

Move the spawns apart and the GVing dries up.

But unfortunately correct. This is exactly what happened to tank town.  It used to be a action packed place. Then (when Ndisles was only TT map left for about 2 years) the spawns were moved back big time and plenty of obstacles introduced. And TT died off.


Result
We do have back a perfect TT on Trinity: Flat plain, sparse cover, but a big city in the center for hide & seek, protected from planes by 20k mountain walls.  But it's totally empty.

Yes, but in my experiences this is what GVing in the MAs has boiled down to.

Not whining, but seriously button A and B, why not Stick A and B. Or something that allows you to select the object to manage the A and B turn controls. The buttons are not as responsive as moving a stick. Right? right. So why degrade the game to buttons (tanks in WWII were not button controlled). I am all for moving forward with the game but this type of change was more Nintendo and Xbox like. Oh I do have one whine... the Wirble turret. You go from view to view and the gun moves but not the actual turret, you have to wait for it 'auto' align. Nice touch, Not.

 I have an old ST-290 Saitek stick I am on a retired income so this stick is it at this time. I also am a stroke victim and the two hand stick key board set up is not to easy to do with any speed for me. I will be glad to see the stick option coming back in the game. I would like to see people who actually like to GV have some impute in tank up dates.

 I get the feeling plane oriented folks who would just as soon see GVs gone from the game are doing the GV updates. Kind of like the Fox designing the Hen house. While I appreciate the time and resources in the up dates with the tanks. The map spawns are still a long boring drive to get into action. This is just my view and if I have stepped on toes, my apologies.
