As long as buzzkill takes place between 1-7am on a single morning I can live with it.  Otherwise burn it down!

All large maps have a detrimental impact on gameplay at the times I am online in my opinion.  Crater MA is currently up and there is little action along the knit front line, the same with yesterday's map for the most part I was on.

Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."

All large maps have been removed from rotation in AH3. We only have small maps (10x10) left now.

There is a very few that is willing to pay 15 a month these days. People want a one time price and done with it.
Yes sir. Exactly it. That's why you won't see much hang on after their 2 week trial is over.

Give them a Spit V for free or Early War planes for $15 A year.   Something.   Drive critical mass and the subscriptions will follow.

Anything but 15$ a month. Sure it's not a bad price point but you ain't gonna hang on to many steam players. I hope I'm wrong for the sake of the game. However, I've talked to a new steam guy or 2 and they said the same thing what !? 15$ a month guess I'm done after two weeks :/

Of course we aren't going to keep them all, but it's my guess that many of these guys will "get it", come to understand the game, then learn to love the game like we all do and then stay.  To those guys the 15 bucks will mean nothing, just like it does to all of us.

I look at Steam as advertising.  No matter where you advertised there will always be guys that try the 2 week thingy and move on, others will become addicts just like us.

Clearly the solution is to make the game free.  :D  :bolt:

But what if the rate of addicts is extremely low?
For the record, in the last days, the numbers of players online is back the old pre-steam levels in my timezone.
