the good thing about making it AH2 now is, it forces more people to play it.....= more bug finding...hopefully

Knew the whines and threats were on the way.

Many of us have been posting....suggesting that you get to AHII

to check it out.  Some of us posted also about the comments and

whines we are reading today, up to two months ago.

Your own fault....should have sampled beforehand.  Everyone

had ample opportunity to try AHII....and also had the opportunity

to offer input.

The whines are coming from those who neglected the obvious.

AHI was going by the wayside....and a slightly changed FM and

Gunnery model was on the way.  If you've offered no input while

in Beta...your fault.

How can you even comment on it if you have never played it as stated in one of your above posts?

Frikkin newbies....this is the way HTC does things.  You will usually have a patch every other day or so correcting errors as they are discovered after a new release.  Maybe if more folks spent more time testing the product in beta there wouldnt be a lot of errors to correct.

Isn't All Software actually A Open Beta?

Well isn't it? I mean every single program I have ever installed on my Computers overtime were always having some type of bug pop up, from Winblows to Netscape to IE, to Paintshoppro, photoshop you name it these software/program companys are always building on making their product better and from the begining to the end you will always have an upgrade patch until the program is pushed aside. ( this holds true for all them other online flighyt sims too, AW, WB, FA, TR/TK, wwiionline, etc.....) the more some of you younger greenhorns play games and become aware of how they work then you will realize this.

Even cd games you buy in stores have bugs, so really there isn't anything to fuss about. Just do your part and help the AH community if you find something fishy/buggy report it. ;)

My opinion of AH2, is it with out a doubt, the most bugless version change HTC has ever done.  Infact it wouldn't suprise me if there are less bugs in AH2 than AH1. After aprox 16 months with out a release , most people do not know that AHI's last release had 4 patches to fix bugs, Then somthing like the TBM issue in AHI was not even know about until almost a year after release.

And I would realy like to thank all the beta tester for giving us the feed back we needed to make AH2 2.00 .

Now back to the regular schedualed program of fixing the last minor issues, and then on to the fun cool stuff.

How can you agree if you haven't played it?

There are a number of changes that have skinned the frogs of a few players, the two things that I hear most complained about are actually features, and not bugs.

1.) No Channel 1. Most people cool out about this when they are pointed to Channel 200.

2). The new fuelburn model. Each time I log on, I happily explain the use of the +/- keys to adjust RPMs (I mapped it to a rotary on my throttle) to lean out their fuel consumption, and explain that climbout doesn't generally reduce flight time (since the higher you go the less fuel you're burning). Some people take the advice and are a bit happier, others are still pissed that they cant run balls to the wall for an hour. I've had one guy complaining that A: rpms had no effect on fuel consumption, and B: He has to take too much gas in a Pony. (As a Yak guy, the second part acutally made me laugh until I cried).

The new Range counters torque some people.

But the funny thing is, this has all been gone over to death in the Beta forum, and while there is never a 100% agreement, I think we have a consensus that once you get used to the changes, AHII is a better game.

Right Clicking the map has a lot of utility too.

I played some in beta,and played a little last night.

The range thingy I adapted to in about,oh,30 seconds.The gunnery?Just shoot a bit closer,and give'em a little more lead on deflection shots.

Other than that,it didn't "feel" any different to me at all.

I been playing Ah2 beta since it came out, it has come a long way and is very indeed playable. It is very different then AH1, but also it is very much improved then AH1. IMO, most of the ones that cant play are usually the ones that whine about every little thing and cluttered up Ch1 with whines.

Were you put straight to work to make money when you came out of yor mother's womb? Or were you first raised and educated?


IMO HTC did just that. At this point questioning Hitech on why he brought out AH2 2.0 would be questioning his judgment to run his company. And thats something I dont really think any of you have the right to do.

And to question AH2 with out EVER playing. Only one simple word comes to mind. Childish. But again I must remember who Im responding too here and who started this thread.

Yah...was gratified to see that there wasn't a patch to d/l last night. Most releases have had at least one patch within the first 6 ours of release. Well done HT :).

Funnily enough after playing AH2 for last 6-8 weeks here are my opinions -
1) Its playable.
2) Lot better than previous releases.
3) Still bugs (including ones that have been around for some time now)
4) RE 3: HiTech is getting around to fixing them.
5) Fuel burn really kills short legged fighters like Spits. ( I know take a drop, but this affects climb rate).
6) Funny watching newbies to AH2 complaining they can't hit anything. Even old AH1 pros! Our squad has been on AH2 last 8 weeks getting acclimatized.
7) Think maybe some more time in Beta was required but not my call.

Overall I think it's better, the option of different skins is a good idea (now if only they could sort out the actaul skin problems!).
