I think I'll play AHII more when the fm is closer to finished. For awhile, it seemed the fm was changing with each beta.


Honest question...

How much more do you think they will change?

Muhahahahaha!!! I think I'm going to like AH2. :D Seems like it's how things should be. :aok I hate all that "pull the nose up and zoom up 1500ft" crap, or the "oh 5hit, I'm cornered, I'll just pull nose up vertical and spray upwards - probably kill something half a mile above me" nonsense.

So I was wondering - have the BS 800 yard shots been toned down as well? No more S&P? Think of it: "Waaaaahhhhh....  blah blah blah cancelled account blah blah blah WW2OL blah blah blah $14.95 blah blah blah..."

I know what it was like when Brand-W remodelled the flight model in 2.73, and the amount of force needed to change plane direction was taken into account. A lot of the gamey stuff didn't work after that, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, threats of cancelled accounts... :lol

The one thing I don't understand is the change to having the icons below the plane.

Not that I think it is bad, I like it better than AH1 only because low planes on the deck do not show up unless you see their small dots against the land scape. Which is also tough because of the dark atmosphere in AH2.... Everything seems to be darker...

Has HTC stated a reason for this? or any reason for any of their changes? I'd just be interested in seeing exactly why they have changed some of the things around:)

Depends on the plane. I think there's a good chance the spit5 fm will change. I haven't played beta in ahile, but I think I read somewhere that the spit 5 was supercharged. I may remember wrong, but thats what I based that remark on.

The spit5 has super UBBER WEP now...

The reason I say this is because when you hit the wep the plane seems to have far more torque.

But what do I know about the Spit5:)

Morph

I remember people clamouring for that years ago (c1999) in BrandW. I think it's a stealth issue. You can set up sneak attacks in the low 6 of your bogie, but your efforts might be compromised if you've got a big neon F4U sign over your head. The neon is only meant as a concession to computer screen gameplay to help you identify the plane, and should not be allowed to give away your presence should you attack from the low 6, for example.

Now all they have to do is to fix that gamey feature whereby folks can turn down the sound of their own engine, and "listen out" for cons around them. :rolleyes:

Woohoo! AH is becoming less gamey!

Nice job you've been doing this tour in your FM2 and F4U1C. :aok You really ought to switch to the 1D. It has enough killing power for most jobs - even buff formations. The gameplay police don't like the 1C, and will point out that it was a dweeb plane - back in the old DOS/Commodore 64 days. ;):lol

Sorry to burst those bubbles.

The spit 5 is the same in 95% of the envelope. It's the 5% of helicopter qualities that are different. You probably wont notice this as much.

O yeah,  i believe so..  I could barely hit anything at 400,  but with .50 cals i think 800 yards could be reached if the other plane is flying straight heh.

The really sad thing about AH2 is that any LW plane can kill my P-51 on the deck in a barrel roll fight,  they can roll 5 times better it seems.  I dont know the historical FM accuracy so im quite stunned.

Was in AH2 the other night for a couple of hours with about 7 or 8 players, Wldthing & Leviathn were in also, needless to say, I reupped alot

Had a blast, actually was most fun I have had in the game in several months, I agree the SpitV definetely performs better, but it also stalls out faster, so there will definetely be a lot of lawn darters, the Hurri 2 performs great, and I think a lot of the la7 drivers are gonna be rethinking their rides, cuz that ground grabs you fast as you zoom in for a cherry :)
Had some screen freezes I think mainly from the server downloading new skins, so I sat it out in tower for awhile til they stopped  loading, other than that, chasing planes thru the trees (cuz ya know that WT and Lev are gonna be hugging the ground making a fool out of ya :) ) was fun...

I dont find the AHII FM's all that hard to fly, but then again I dont fly the Niki or the La7 or any version of the Spit so I cant comment on them, and I dont use the "gamey helocopter" moves either. I can say that most planes I fly still fly much like they did, although all planes do seem to stall easier.

Gunnery also seems easier at close ranges, but harder at long if that makes any sense. Here is an example, last week I was up and flying the 109F, I pulled up to shoot a P-38 at about D400. Usually at that range I pull what I think is the proper lead and adjust with tracers,  well, before I could even decide if I needed to adjust the 38 blew up. Granted, I had gonds, and I might have gotten the perfect lead right away (which I dont usually), but it seems that in close gunnery is both easier and more lethal. It could just be my imagination too.

I been there, its a pretty nice arena. Our squad is going to go into AH2 for a while one night and all try it out. We should have about 20 to show up. Also wish more people would be in the AH2 arena. Last time I checked there wwas just 1 person in there
