is HTC capable of the level of detail of IL2FB?
« on: November 22, 2003, 02:24:25 PM »
this isnt a graphics thing so much as an immersion and accuracy question.

AH is clearly ahead of IL2 in individual aircraft performance accuracy though il2 is gaining fast  and in terms of actual flight model il2FB has surpased ah in areas of low speed handling and high speed effects.

will ah2 bring htc back ahead of il2 in these areas?

Never..HTC doesn't have the staff that Maddox games has.  Oleg has got the best business model going.  Pay his staff in Rubels and sell his product in Dollars or Euros.  Hell- just with Skuzzy's salary alone you could have a dozen programmers in Russia and pay them in equivalent  Voka and Cabbage.

so true...  


about the cabbage and vodka.


mmmmm vodka.


I dont think I would call the graphics in il2 that visually stunning.  The planes look nice, but the ground is fer poop, and that is what we are always looking at.

I am going to hold off complaining till I see the new damage model.  I suspect they are designing the new engine so they can do some amazing graphical stuff as the computers and connections allow.  IL2 is not mmpog is it?  I think that is really the driving force.  Playability.  You need a pretty careful balance between playability and ending up with wwiionline, to keep your customers.

I hadnt played il2 since back when the origional was released and found the eyecandy great then but the ai sucked and the flight model was awful.

I just started playing IL2FB and I am quite pleased at the way they have updated the high and low speed stalls and mach tuck all very convincing. landings much more realistic as well.

too bad its an ai game though those get old fast no matter how good they are.

and 32 player arenas are like flying ah in h2h mode (blech)

hope ah2 offers somthing between ah and il2fb.

Is IL2's online community capable of being anything like AH's?

NO! Thank God!... much of the AH community has degraded over time.

Freeze, I've found VEF (Virtual Eastern Front) much much better than VOW.  VEF is a dynamic online campaign, whereas VOW is just a bunch of co-op missions with no actual campaign in the background.

In VEF the player actions have a direct impact on the ongoing ground campaign.  I hope AH2:TOD will be something like VEF! :)

Check out VEF: http://66.114.65.249/vov/site/main.htm  Click on the red "Virtual Eastern Front 2" text to see the current map situation. Click the "air superiority", "tactical" and "recon" buttons at the top to see the up-to-minute campaign status. It is updated after every flown VEF mission.

Cit, get Hyperlobby if you haven't already: http://hyperfighter.jinak.cz  Thats *the* place to fly online. There are many good dogfight servers, which use the "script", so that players can reset the map by destroying ground targets, planes, etc... Scripted servers are much better than mindless furballing. Try the Virtualpilots 1 & 2, Greatergreen and Mudmovers servers. They're using full real settings or similar.

I just checked my AH stats. Since january, my online AH time has gradually dropped from 60 hours a month to the current 10 hours a month. I play way much more FB than I do AH... Looking forward to AH2, though! :)

Hehe, didn't notice you're with the 9th.  I fly with Anakonda a lot. :)

You can usually find me at the Virtualpilots' servers or VEF missions.

The IL-2 FB online experience may not be like AH, but i just checked the Hyperlobby homepage:
HL
For a monday evening at 5:30 EST over six hundred people playing FB means something. They are not all in one room but i bet they all have a good time.
