the future must be a dark and scary place for people to react so strongly about any mention of change, its HTC's game an no amount of berating someone offering suggestions is going to change the fact that HTC will change or not until he's ready.  No amount of so called experts opinions from years of playing this game are going to change it either.

We were 600 player prime times in he late 2000's and now we are 180 at best.  Anyone care to explain what happened?

as I said somewhere in 1 of these catagories- real life happens. and this happens

I know I have read them, but to be honest I'm torn because I played games that span the old and the new (not as much as I used to these days) and lets face it times have changed out there and Aces really from a modern strategic game play point of view has been practically static for a long time.

I played AW until the last day, saw the player base shrink EA came in and the game disappeared. I would really hate to see that happen here (I still pay my sub to AH even though I dont get to play much here either)

Some of Nugs suggestions arnt really that far off compared to today's games

An idea: Why not trying to get one of those hot shot WT youtubers to fly in the BoB scenario? Could be a good way to attract new players..

QUIT PUSHING YOUR AGENDA

Lol my agenda is only to have HTC have more players and even better game, and for players to have a more fun game to play, because if the game is more fun to play with gameplay that can hook players for a longer period of time, more players will in the end stay for longer which is better for HTC, and a WW2 multiplayer flight experience is a dream for flight lovers which no game currently provides, and where Aces High is the closest one to offer something like it.
The groundwork in Aces High is set for this, it's only needs that extra touch of HTC to transform it into WW2.

Lunatic, you and everyone else here, play for that WW2 experience, whether you are aware of it or not, that's why you are here in the first place playing Aces High, because it's the only flight sim that offers such a big multiplayer flight game with ww2 planes and tanks, so why not just go full ww2.

It's a win-win for everyone.

Don't worry, lusche. We'll just hang out in the exclusive Radioactive Clubhouse with complimentary drinks and free caviar and wait until they need us.

Unfortunately, your ideas haven't been good ones.  All they have been have been rehashed features over the years that have been tried without success in other games.  Why do you think your same ideas will work this time?

nugetx:

One issue instantly arises when trying to simulate war. And hence what works in dream game does not work when actually played.
That issue is:

Games are meant to be fun and fair but fighting a war is neither.

Truer words have never been spoken, Sir!  However, we - the players, like little kids that play with wooden sticks in the backyard imitating soldiers, want to play a WWII version of AH!  :banana:

Make our dream come true, Sir! :salute  I'm positive you would make it work.

The community will surely acknowledge this by player numbers from 10 years ago or higher, and with being on Steam, the game will be prosperous for the next 15 years.

Do not think of those as 'my ideas'  think of them as of ideas by 'every player who wants a ww2 flight game'.





I loved a game in the 90s  called 'cannon fodder'  the tagline for the game was  'war was never so much fun'. You would control a squad of little soldiers and progress with them through levels.










Now imagine if Aces High could be honoring the history by having a WW2 version of it,   what a marketing tagline!
