AH, WB, FA Arena Numbers
« on: January 29, 2004, 12:01:29 PM »
Warbirds is offering $13.95 a month for all its arenas plus a two-week free trial for new and former members.  So I checked the number of players on line at 1 p.m. for Warbirds, Fighter Ace, and Aces High:

(opening the envelope), ladies and gentlemen, the results:

Warbirds 34 (including Dawn of Aces and Armored Assault)

Fighter Ace 47

and ...

Aces High 206

I think I'll stick with Aces High.

Please, no acronyms until first spelling out, i.e., what is FB?

So, even with 206 in Ah you aren't fighting them all. Whether the numbers are spread out on the 4 corners on the map as in AH or 32 guys in 1 small map (tiny by AH size) as in FB it’s the level of action that matters. A DF map in FB with 32 folk has a ton of fighting going on. Where in Ah 60% are flying into the ground after those pesky Fuel tanks. :p

YMMV

It depends on the Host. For DF try GreaterGreen or the VirtualPilots server. Some hosts run scripted DF where there are "resets" based on planes and pilots lost. Some are just FFA. Try to fly with host who use a dedicated server.  

There are Coops, single missions. There are a number of online wars that are mission based are combined into a campaign/war etc. Host setting vary from full difficulty to arcade and everything in between

Make sure you are patched up to 1.22 and DL hyperlobby and try it out its free. There 650 folk on hyperlobby right now.

Well all of that furball-furball action would get pretty damn boring to me... imo  And to get any kind of a "mission" going you would be required to play in offline mode correct?

As I said above there are scripted DF servers that actually "reset" to another map when the victory conditions are met. These usually involve airfield attack and airframe and pilot losses.

There are Coops, which are missions run with objectives. Then there are online wars which are long campaigns spanning the various time periods and maps. Something like AH2:ToD espouses to be with ranks, scores etc......

Heres 2 of umm

I just gave totals for all arenas in AH, FA, and WB.  Point was overall apparent appeal of the main business.  

260 for Il-2 Forgotten Battles is impressive.  Haven't checked that out but maybe I should.

So .... What your saying is that FB'ers are better jabo'ers than AH'ers,  (in accordance our fuel porkers die more)?? Now thats outrageous!!  Show me proof Wotan Proof!!

:)

I've never played FB,  but i have played IL-2 (1st Version) and that wasnt played on Hyberlobby..  Too bad my comp couldnt handle it,  but it looked like a cool game back in the day.  Maybe when i update i will check it out,  but i cant criticize a game that i never played,  gameplay issues etc...
