I was thinking about coming back for a spin but it doesn't sound like much has changed. Been away for about 15 months. I do miss hanging with Slash, Bear, Milvil, Angry, and the rest of my HA buddies.
Yesterday was a bit better, I helped defend a base from some guys that kept trying to take it over and over. Wasn't any out standing fights but at least it wasn't hoards of Spit 16s, lalas every time. They were at least trying to fight for it.
One thing I've noticed though is it almost seems like F4U's are the new spit 16s (not even at carrier fights). I think I've seen more of them than Spits, since I decided to give it a try again. You might think that would be an improvement, but it's next to impossible to do much against lots of F4U's because they turn like freaking zeeks.
It's ok if you just want to BnZ but I always liked to get down into a fight, but when it's going to end up with 2 or 3 F4U's & maybe a F4F it's kinda pointless to do anything in a K-4 or Jug other than BnZ.
I went to the DA last night just to see if anything was decent and upped a Jug.. Flew out to the center and literally every plane was a F4U with 1 F4F so I just turned around and landed because there wasn't any point.
It's really a shame IMO, because this game has always had great potential but it just seems the average player wants the instant action of a first person shooter and landing their high score kills rather than quality dog fights. I must admit I was already feeling just as frustrated with the game 2 days in as I was when I left 2 years ago. I'm still hoping I can find some GF's out there as there just aren't that many games I really enjoy or have what I consider long term potential.
