Comeback Consideration
« on: September 17, 2024, 02:06:56 PM »
Been doing a lot of flying in DCS and in an active MILSIM Harrier squadron there.

However, I am missing AH3 and the MA gameplay. 

Thinking I may come back for MA and FSO again. 

Just wanted to take a peek in here and see how everyone has been doing.

Bring it. Tell any of your buddies to come back too. We need players to return.

I live in the central US timezone.  It can be a bit boring in the afternoon, but the gameplay picks up around 4 my time.  If you like taking bases, the afternoon can get fun if you communicate and get your countrymates involved, but don't expect any big furballs during that time.

Glad to hear you considering coming back. Definately worth 15 a month to see if you can enjoy your gaming time here.  I'm still here after 25 years if that means anything.

It’s good to see familiar faces.

Something I’ve been looking into is creating a series of “how to” tutorials for AH3. 

What I have noticed since stepping away is a lack of YouTube type tutorials for this relevant online game.  AH3 is on the easier side of combat sims out there but admittedly still a big learning curve. 

I know people looking in from outside would look into AH3 and see a lack of content and shy away.  Where DCS, has a ton of content but the initial investment is a reach.

If people only knew just how easy it is to learn with a minor investment, could revive gameplay and a newer audience.

If I do go down this path, I will be looking for “costars” to help me with content.  Costars would entail me flying along with different squadrons doing different things like Monday Night Madness, Special Events, FSO, and main arena debachery. 

If this sounds interesting to you, reach out.

Dude, there is a scenario coming up Oct 26.

Scenarios are the greatest online combat flying in existence.

Come on in for the glory of an epic battle.  :aok

Spits, Typhoons, Mustangs, Mossies vs. 190's and 109's in coastal France, in preparation for D-Day.

We will be opening registration and posting the writeup soon.

I’m going to get my account set back up tonight.  I can’t commit this far in advance, however, if y’all allow walk on, I’ll do my best to show up and fill whatever slot is needed. 

I have to rebuild all of my profiles for each plane again.  At best I’m just a warm body to shoot down a lot.  Hahaha.

Did HTC sort the sound direction thing out such that tanks right next to you sound like they right next to you?
