It must mean that HT is ready to transform the squid programming into the long rumored submarines.

I mean the squid use to surface and submerge, it would show bubbles when rising and sinking.   Everyone knows that a squid is not a historical WWII weapon.   It had to be a test platform for submarines.

I WANT the new submarines to have deck guns.
I want the new submarines to have AA guns.
I want the 8" gun on the submarines.
I want the japanese torpedoes modeled.
I want scout planes available on the submarines.
I want to launch mini-subs from the submarines.
I want to have to switch from diesel to electric motors.
I want to have black paint (grey paint, dazzel paint, pink paint, etc) for the exterior.
I want sonar
I want radar
I want a little broom modeled if I sink everything in sight.



None of the above is true, but I did want to be the first to whine about submarine modeling.

maybe you should somehow mod the game? make it how you want? because its really hard to make a game. and making those would make it even harder.

so ... they both flightsims

and i'm spoiled by il2 maybe
but i can never be impressed if it aint gonna be better

im just saying fairly what i see

i'm noones cheerleader

right is right bended is bended

Visualy at the moment there's almost no difference at all. Between AH1 and AH2 though apparently all that's yet to come but at this stage leaves alot to be desired and is dissapointing. Even the Hanger graphcis look poor.

I would never expect even early IL2 graphics in AH2, though I would expect it to look "different" if it's going to be promoted as being a new version rather then a update.

I know everyone including myself prefers FM,detailed damage modeling etc. But it's in visuals where people notice the most changes. Esecially for new players coming into the game.

still far from il2 1st version

sorry that i am that negative but i just can't be enthousiastic about it.

to me its AH1 with trees

i hate myself to saying it

Last night was the first time in a few revisions that I got to spend any amount of time in AH2 and I gotta say that the current terrain in AH looks a hell of a lot better than the current terrain in AH2.  Maybe all the emphasis has been on the plane/vehicle art so far and hopefully the terrains will get a make over as well pretty soon.

LOL Maybe, but there's a few of us suffering from the same blindness then.  Maybe I should of said no "Significant"difference graphic wise compared to AH1.  In particular the terrrain,water,clouds,maps etc.

i love the ah2 clouds was fun zipping through them in ndisles FT.

But for me its always been about the FM/DM and that's been just an awesome upgrade.

Perhaps drawing comparisions between EAW and AW '98 with IL2 and AH2 would carry more weight if HTC's collective mindset wasn't so completely different from Kesmai. This is a very focused group.

Thanks Horn!

I love how a thread can start on a squid and end up bashing all the work that a few guys.....oops and a few gals.. can't forget the ladies that help with billing <-next time I pay off a credit card and cancel it and forget to change my billing with AH, I want to still get the nice REMINDER E-mail before they turn me off.

Anyway, I am sure the PEOPLE who work everyday on providing you a outlet for you entertainment needs have thick skins. I know when I bust my bellybutton on somthing and get ragged on for it that is the last frickin time I help that person........

I have only had a few problems and every time Mr. Neese has been nothing but helpfull to me.

I am not concerned about the graphics as mush as i am about stability...

Nothing pisses me off more  than getting into a good fight and just as I am about to kill..... the enemy planes warps behind me or as with the new game I get a 2 second freeze and miss the shot...

I would like to see a balance between graphics and playablity  No warping is a pipe dream with online games but to reduce it to a minimum would be nice.

I like the new version  it is much harder to hit and I have evaded some zooming ponies  although I am also hitting less


but it is a game and I love coming home after putting up with *******s all day and KILLING you guys

See you in the unfriendly skies

Again wasn't this about the Squid ?

[Montezuma]

Didn't Kitty from Bigweek originally request the squid?

I will help Gixer out some with the graphics wise. I don't see the big deal about AH2. Maybe because it was made up to be so good. But it is a lot better than the graphics in AH. If they HTC had a magical money tree and all the resources of the big companys the graphics would be just as good or even beat IL2. I played IL2 for about a week and hate it. Sure HTC could make the graphcis better but then the downlaod and requirments would be bigger. Only reason I started palying AH was becuase of the fact back then in 2000 it was about the only game my old pc could play. HTC has done a really good job. And I am constantly impressed about the efforts to fix bugs and other things in the game.

Well I dont want to go off on a rant here But,.....It would appear to me that AH2 as we see it now is the ground floor of a new engine entirely, with numerous upgrades possible. Some of yu guys sound like spoiled lil schoolgirls! always with the gimme this or gimme that and it's not GOOD enough! I want I want Iwant!

Ya cant please all the people ALL the time I suppose


I miss the squid, the long talks with him, feeding him rooks with nite appatizers......AH the good ol' days

[clouds]

Who said my name !?!?!?



I completely agree with you Captain Virgil Hilts and.....I almost agree with all of you and I also think HTC have, like we says in Italy, "Gatte da Pelare" (CATS TO SKINS) to means they've lots of problems to solve  

Have a good work HTC guys.
