You're not going to be helping AH by going over there with talk of leaving for AH in the same way 'Ring' did'nt help the WW2OL cause here when he posted in the main forum, not that AGW is iEN's forum but a lot of die hard WB'ers are not goign to take kindly to you going over there banging the AH drum.
Warbirds suffered a huge blow when AH came along but I think the real beginning of the end came when WW2OL was released and iEN could only manage a half baked sim that WBIII was back then. Online numbers in Euro time ammount to about 40 or so on average and I have to wonder what will happen to that number once AHII:TOD comes along with it's mission based system which a lot of WB'ers have already said they would definately try, not only that but Targetware also looms on the horizon and Wild Bill doesn't appear to have any strategy in place (did he ever have a strategy?) to counter these threats to his business.
They were talented guys who left the team, programmers and an artist which begs the question is Wild Bill now relying too heavily on the player developed art? 'BROKEN' was a real class act he was their 'Skuzzy'...always willing to listen and would always try to help.
While Warbirds will continue you have to wonder at what pace? development was slow enough anyway especially when Wild Bill had them working on three projects and now he cuts the staff when production of his core sim should be ramped up to meet the challenges ahead.
