It is the best, we just need to convince 300 to 500 new players of that and get then 5o stay longer than an hour or two

As a player, you would not really an one-time increase of 50 players at all.

Thinking he did but that's the word I picked to fill in with my misshaped brain.

  I was able to sign on one morning before work and there were maybe 30 players on? For a few hours I fought 1 or 2 bad guys at a time and they killed me and I killed them. It was awesome fun. Sometimes it just sucks fighting a Horde. If you are having trouble finding a fight, start one!
 
Is the game too hard for the lazy gaming world? Where all you need is a bit more cash or a cheat code? Perhaps but I would not dumb it down for them. 
  I am just grateful that the Game is still here to log in to. Where in Cyberspace would you rather be?
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

The 5o was a typo, it was supposed to be "to"

I think a jump of 300-500 would make a difference .

To put it into perspective, there are currently a bit over 1000 pilot ID's per tour with at least 1 kill or death.
(So I guess 500 more subscribers would make big difference to HTC, at least  ;))

Lower numbers need smaller maps so there is less running and hiding and more forced engangements

MNM is the place to be for such an experience

On Saturday nights prime time eastern we have 120-130, add just 60 or 70 to that and it makes a big difference.


For both HTC and us players.  :aok

Hitech is dead set against this. Most likely because there is no way to break up uneven sides short or the game controlling which side a player plays on when they log in. At least with 3 sides 2 teams COULD gang up on the team with the numbers to break their run.

Well, WEP never reset on the rearm pad or CV deck for me in AHII. I have had it 'cool off', even in flight.  :cool:

sure, you still had to go though the cooling cycle in ah2 if the engine was hot from using wep, but you did get the wep cycles back after rearming. compared to now where you dont get any more wep once you use it all up regardless of temp after rearming.

Nope. It never 'recycled' for me after a rearm. My cooled off WEP quit a lot sooner.

As I remember it WEP went for the longest time where it just would have a cool down and then it would be good to go again 5 minutes on 5 minutes off or whatever the planes pattern was indefinitely. I think that was in a AH2. Whenever it changed over to WEP actually having a maximum total amount of time, I am pretty sure it never reset on the rearm pad.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

WEP behaves differently in different aircraft, I believe. I think HT modeled such.
