New KOTH event WW1 KOTH

[fuzeman]

Starting in June we will start a new KOTH type event. It will deal exclusively with WW1 type aircraft. We will have a new KOTH style map with a lower cloud ceiling and some rule adjustments to accommodate the differences WW1 platforms create.

Hope you all enjoy the new event. This event will start in June 2012 so watch the KOTH forum and AH calendar for details.

Feel free to post and make your opinions and suggestions for adjustments here.

Good idea personally though I don't really think there was any real need to separate it from KOTH in the first place the talk about separation etc its all relative to be honest.

Flying WW1 is imo a lot more challenging and requires a lot more skill than the WW2 planeset, theres a lot more to it than just whizzing around in circles me and fester did a 4 hour 1v1 session last week F1 vs DR1 and some of the fights were insane some of the best fun I have had in this game for ages. It seems so simple at first but has more scope for creative flying than the WW2 planeset.

I think I would disagree with this......all you can do is turn....does not give you much choice in how you fight.

don't get me wrong I like them and a KOTH event just for WW1 is cool, I just don't see how they take more cartoon skill.

The hardest part of fighting in Aces High is perceiving your plane travelling through 3 dimensions, as a general rule the faster that happens the easier that is to tell what your plane is doing. The moves are there in WW1 its just a lot harder to recognise them and know when to perform them.

If all you can do in WW1 is start turning then you simply aren't trying hard enough INK  the planes in WW1 are a lot more manoeuvrable than the WW2 planeset and not just in the turn, extracting that or even perceiving that in flight or in game is a lot lot harder. Its on the surface beautifully simple but infinitely complex.

I would have to call your attention span into question here as you promote an ideal of the fight in this game yet steer clear of and doubt the ultimate angles fight, one were you cannot run away and are a half second away from victory or oblivion.

I think I see what you are saying...as far as recognizing what is happening....

I like fighting the ww1 planes...... like fighting in a phone booth.

what I was meaning is there is no BnZ to speak of.....you know you are ending up in a turn fight.


I would spend more time in the WW1 arena if more people were there.

You can you can bnz in ww1 just never in a straight line  i have held off 9 guys using a slight alt advantage and quick bursts into the cockpit 

Numbers build numbers sadly dynamic ai spawning would be good ala red baron 3d.

[JOACH1M]

I'll try it...who knows if I will like it though...

   I really thought I pulled this one before but looked back and couldn't find it.
Anyway, what was the date of the initial post? 

Guess I can put this 'one' to bed and not use it again. 
And sorry for those who fell for it and are now

I was thinking that, but then Fuze might crack a funny and I'd be powerless from the laughter.

I usually do ask and I did that time and then came in.  I didn't like it and stayed around for that next engagement knowing you would probably get the kill, which you did.

EDIT- I had no idea of the previous history of that engagement.

and 2nd EDIT -
