It's not so simply, Allpay, La5 F/FN and La7 are rly amazing planes in low alts but try to fly it over 3km. In this alt are just for fun. The main problem here is that combat alt for 95% of players is 1-2km. So planes like P47, P38, Mig, Spit and 109 are in disadvantage. I remeber when once we had some pacific map (don't know name) with long distances, there was combat alt about 5-6 km! Nobody wanted go lower! For me it was the most important TOD what i've ever flew! But then ppl started to scream about boring sorties (wtf???) and admins removed this map, etc., etc. Now we have only maps for furballing and d26 icons, again great for furballing. The solution is easy- sometimes change maps and change icons distance! With d10-d12 icons it could be mostly about pilots SA and strategy and not only about plane what he has. Plane's parameters will not be so important like with d26 icons and furball maps.... But i wrote it here maybe 100 times and nothing happend, only everybody crying and when there is some poll about that, every idiots don't want a change...
very constructive. yet could we turn-on big maps when not all bugs are solved and more players returned/came?
I heard about bugs, but... what kind of bugs? For example the ETO map- I know about problem at field F25 (or 26) but that is the only bug what I know.... and that is not imho big problem. And other maps.... I don't know where is the problem but what I know is that we need some kind of diversity, because in current state nobody fly 90% of planes. And the true is that current maps, whatever are great, are quite boring when u fly it 100.000times. I think we had a furball maps for a long time and the result is that almost nobody fly now, so change it, one furball map, one long distance map, etc. And I am sure that then will not be so strong pressure for new/rebuilded planes. And the thing no.2 is that ppl will start cooperating again (now there is the only functional sq. in arena- TGR) because without that is nonsence to cap a field at long-distance map.
no, i don't mean map bugs, i mean game bugs. actually i'm trying to make the game i personally can play. because i left from online because of idiotic DM, capture/downtime rules and some FM/ballistics flaws. so i'm hanging around to eliminate bugs one-by-one, waiting for my chance to take-off and challenge people from other countries again, like the times before idiotic DM and rules pushed me away. as for big maps... they are repelling me, when you must fly 15 minutes in seeking for enemy, and if you meet them en mass it's a suicide, and when not meeting at all, it's impossible to harm medium/big field.
Maybe ALL the devs and admins should be required to play every plane in every map before they are allowed to change the game....
actually i played almost everything, including 410 and 27 (personally unpopular), and took every field many times at all maps, and sunk dozens of cv, if not more. before i left from on-line. so, i consider my mission is to fix every error injected to return to the game.
Sry, haven't saw that LA-5FN is already removed BTW, your PM Folder is full, and I need to talk with u about DM. I sent u an email by your profile here in FH.
i know dm is idiotic... after releasing 1.68beta we will turn our efforts onto total dm reprogramming. or you have very specific information?
