You guys are onto something here. +1

I know this is a business and not charity, but it's not 2000 anymore either, standards of the industry are changing, and the current subscription models are going away.

Just giving hints with other people what could potentialy work for the playerbase, as like everyone else so as I would like to see this game have a big playerbase because I enjoy it as everyone else here, and with a few tweaks here and there I believe the game would be in much healthier state.

Just my few cents  :salute

There are exactly 40 players now, and this would be prime time for my time of playing..... not exactly encouraging.

2:17 in the morning, not anybody's fought that there are not a lot of players on-people do have to sleep.
actually 40 players on at 2:17 in the morning is pretty good,  used to be 30 or less.

so stating a time frame is a lost argument.

I was kind of hoping that all these weeks of nugetx was not going to come to this. Sadly all he ever wanted was Hitech to put AH3 on Steam and make it a full time free to play so he wouldn't have to spend any money on a subscription.

 :huh have you forgotten all the post he made wanting to change this into a actual WWII game, with actual historical countries and battles, like in the scenarios, where you have to go fight japan or Germany etc. with the same goals from WWII, fly for miles or drive for miles to engage the enemy.
have you forgotten that?

Yes. Even in Europe. And Japan. And Australia....

Why still post? People are starting to beat the dead carcus ,  even after the Owner said to give it a rest...


nugetx, give it a rest.

A lot of the steam accounts are just for the trial or thinking the main melee arena is free to play, after two weeks they will probably stop playing and the numbers might drop again.

What if 1 plane was free so they can continue to play?  sort of 'starter account' ?

Think about it this way... they will stop playing and there will be less players again and they wouldn't pay anyway, this way the game can have more players by allowing them to fly atleast 1 plane.


there you go thinking you can read peoples minds and the future, even if some people don't come back-right away-they know the game is here and may come back eventually when they tyre of easy no challenge games, or having to buy higher tier tanks or planes, maybe they will tell there friends who are looking for a challenging game.

and what Plane do you suggest a 1st timer get for free, because it's not just the plane that counts-it's the pilot as well- the plane and the pilot are like a team. just because a new player is flying a P-51D doesn't mean he/she can't get shot down by a good pilot in a lesser plane. I once shot down a 262 with a A6M5..Wantex shoots me down with his A6M's no matter what I fly. with a subscription they can fly any plane they want except the perkies until they earn the perks in the MA. like you have been told on numerous occasions build your own arena-fly offline, fly WWI, just quit trying to change this game into your game.

we veterans of all 3 countries are trying to help the new players learn the game, but if they don't want our help that's on them. and if you actually played this game you would see that.
oh and by the way, I do play until 2 to 3 in the mornings most times. Thursday night I was on until 5am Friday morning.

Awesome!

I'm soooo glad you are here playing.  I think it's really cool that you are able to absolutely separate what you personally want with what is truly good for the game with all your absolutely wonderful suggestions.

You've truly joined the community and that makes me very happy.

Maybe you could do just one more little thing for me.

Tell us you handle, the name you fly under.  There is nothing to hide, nothing to be scared of, I'm not asking for your birth date and social security number.  If you have already said what your name is, I apologize, I know I've asked you a half dozen times but don't ever remember you responding.
