  AH has been around for like gosh almost 15 years?

think it will be 16 years this coming summer since beta


heck, I do not know of these "stars" these people speak of, I see them on the text buffer beside peoples gameids ( some have just 1, others have 3+ ), but I have yet to see any star pop up around my gameid  :old:

2 stars?  I haven't played in years but what is this about?


An indicator of player quality.

4 star players in particular are universally revered in AH for their wisdom, insane skills and amicable personalities. They are THE AH role model which the masses are trying to emulate. They also tend to be exceptionally beautiful people with mesmerizing, almost transcendental voices  :old:

Oh, and I just got my 4th star this weekend  :D

There are only so many levels to each achievement.

In the case of the "kill a GV by plane", and Im only guessing here at the levels as I only have one star....

10 gv kills 10 points
25 gv kills 25 points
50 gv kills 50 points
100 gv kills 100 points

other may only have two levels....

drop the troop to win the war, 100 points
drop the troop to win the war again 250 points.

Once you get to the end of the levels you can no longer add more points doing that action.

The actual levels are like this:

10 GV - 10 pts
100 GV - 20 pts
250 GV - 30 pts
500 GV - 50 pts
1000 GV - 100 pts.

At 666 killed vehicles (after 20 months since I reset my achievements) it's still quite a long way to go for me...

I think I almost have the second level done on that one.

I mostly meant all the achievements under the bomber category, I'm working on that right now (don't judge the 190 porking barracks and fuel depots too harshly), but there are some achievements for bombing GVs.  I think I'm up to ~200 GVs bombed, but that's without focusing on the achievement.
