Game is not worth playing anymore

[viking73]

There is no sense bombing a town when the other country can have a supply carrying vehicle waiting there to resupply it after it's white flagged. Dozens of times I've WF a town, went and got an M3 with troops only to be told the town is completely back up. Why get in a plane or tank and defend your base if you can 'rebuild' the town a minute later? I know we had the 'great experiment' with the M3 but you guys at Hitech Creations totally missed the point on that experimenting with troops. Skuzzy, Hitech you've been at this for 18 years and you can't get it at this point what the players have told you? This used to be a good flight sim game. Now it's a great resupply game competing with American Truck Simulator on Steam. Badly at that.

You guys have worked hard to keep this game going but you keep fixing things that don't mean squat to the game and refuse to fix major problems with flight or ships. (I can't speak to vehicles cause I don't do that much but I assume it's the same) I came over from Air Warrior III to play Aces High with Marine Air Wing in December of 2000 on Tour 12. Things made sense and worked back then whether you wanted to take bases or just compete. AH3 was an improvement over AH2 but many years short of current technology. So it's been frustrating and sad to see what's going on now in this game. Even with the good people I've flown with or against, which really just makes this a $15 social software, I just can't see any reason to keep actually playing the game.

Hitech my advice is to sell the game to a company that can get the game into today's graphics and programming, take your money and enjoy your life in a plush retirement with many thanks from the members new and old.

The counter argument to that is it is equally frustrating when a town is WF'ed at a field and there is already a goon with troops / M3 sitting there waiting in town and the base is taken immediately. Unfortunately that goes both ways.

I do agree with you partially though T2Maw...the game has changed over the years...some for the better...and some definitely for the questionably better. I think we can all say we appreciate the effort that HT & company have put in over the years - but - there should be a better way to obtain user input to changes to the game that make sense, inspire gameplay and get more users. I realize it is HiTech's game as does everyone...but it is the community of players that make the game more than what it is and to lose key members of that community that have been around for years  is disheartening.

It is sometimes very frustrating when new "features or fixes" are implemented and we only find out after they have been done and don't make sense...or serve the select few that have complained. I was excited when AH3 came out and played through the beta with high hopes with the graphics upgrade - much better than AH2, but not quite what is by today's standards. Then some of these features have crept in slowly...some I agree with / like...others that downright make me want to walk away due to the frustration it has caused.

Will be sorry to see you go (and others that have recently made the decision). I'm holding onto some hope before I make my decision.

Exactly. All this time and I'm still fighting drone bombers to stay in formation and if they don't they blow up. Still fighting the ship guns from shaking or not working (especially the 5") or the yellow hashmark sights moving up when I'm moving down. These are just a few examples. Then there's pinpoint changes made like making the 50 cal more powerful and cannons less. Some of it is just ordinary common sense gameplay programming. I wouldn't say any of this if I didn't like the original premise of the game. I can go play War Thunder or World of Warplanes/Tanks/Ships but it's just doesn't have the same open arena. I quit for a year or two and filled the time with single player or WOT and I'm considering going back. I hate to cause I enjoy the people here especially in the 80th and KN.

So when based are taken whats happening there then?

Having a personal dig at the owner of the game is disrespectful as well.

A16 yesterday was getting resupplied and there was a battle there for ages, that is called AHIII.

You dont speak for me or people i know in this game.

Who are the select few and what changes have they asked for that have got made....bruh I've been asking for M3 town resupply nerf...I need to find one of them and talk them into requesting it.


Oh and again, there's no good reason not to nerf town resupply...

[Copprhed]

There's absolutely no good reason TO nerf town supply.

There is a list of things wrong in this thread, such as none of the ballistics of any rounds have been changed in AH3.  None.

This is not a discussion thread.  It is an attack on the company with far too much hyperbole.
