After being unimpressed with the early betas, I've been sitting on the side lines waiting for the final release before I pass judgement.

Actually, I'm starting to like what I hear about the enhanced engine management, more challenging ground and flight modelling, and the elimination of the 1000 yd kills.

Pretty graphics are nice, but the crucial elements of any sim are the physics and the gameplay. If AH2 concentrates on the latter two, it will attract many of the old WB/AW crowd, and possibly bring back all the old jaded AH'ers.

I gotta go shopping for a video card. I'm looking at the ATI Radeon 9600 as a budget/performance value, now that the 9800 is out. I'm working with a 1-point-something gigaherz P4 and the new vid card would be replacing a nVidea GEForce2 MX 32Mb card that came with the system.

Any thoughts?

Waiting for AH2. I fly the beta occasionally but haven't been in the MA in 6 months. I am still miffed about the difficulty those of us without rudder pedals seem to have taking off in the beta.

Every time I fly a sortie in WW2OL I crave AH2 even more.

Eagler · « **Reply #40 on:** May 18, 2004, 08:48:50 AM »

play it but it is difficult getting used to three countries after playing CT for so long...

"why are those two red planes fighting each other..."

as the numbers increase, there is still a MA mentality to it, hopefully TOD cures it

I love my 9800 pro.

I have been enjoying the beta. The fights seem to last alot longer, as a killing blow requires at least a little more effort than AH1.

...as to the IL2 graphics. Who cares? An eyball on an arthritic stick is just assinine.

C. When TOD arrives

To me AH-II is AH-I with some prettier dressing. Same old omniscient AWACs radar, aircraft/engine managment remains minimal & simplistic and HTC continues to employ what is essentially the same old icon system ala 1995 (in spite of stepped range icons and that they show below the aircaft now). IMO there's nothing substantially new (edited to acknowledge that being able to create "skins" is a new, major feature I missed). Most particularly when it comes to gameplay. Still have to endure pork&auger dorks and the lowest of the skilled can still use a 4 engined, heavy bomber to dive bomb with.
Of course HTC could have a smorgasbord of great, new stuff to implement in AH-II. However thier lack of development updates over the last year and a half has left us in the dark.

When AH-I came out it was leaps beyond AW, FA and WB's with new features, user selectable options, powerful but simple GUI and rock solid stability.

(note: not one complaint about FM or gunnery. Lame "BIGPORK" gameplay being grandfathered over and a lack of major innovation or new features are the root of AH-II's lack of appeal to me )
