Killn, and Mosq, thanks... really nice of you to say.

Not any plans on other sims, since I hear they are even more "Realistic".  If they ever change the range icons back I might just back in.  There are several reasons why this is a gamebreaker for me.....yes the range icons are more "realistic" now,  I'm not arguing that.  I was one of those dweebs who was happy to sacrifice some "realism" for playability.

This is a fair question SOB.  The gunnery system requires closer ranges and longer gun solution to down a plane.... a dream come true for TnB guys.  For those who like more realism this may also be a boon and I respect that they are enjoying the changes.

I was tired, but should have posted that the game sux "for me".
My apologies to HT, when I've dealt with them 1 on 1 they have always been polite, freindly even...thank you.

To those who mentioned that maybe it's because I went from being "#1" or whatever to being average my response is that you are incorrect.

It's like Killn said, I just want to come home from work, shoot down some bad guys, die a few times, talk a little smack, have some laughs w/ my virtual friends and log off.  I'm not a big "realism" guy and I don't want to play a game that feels like work.
 Lots of people in here laud the changes as being more realistic and like I said, that's great for them.  I'm glad they are enjoying the new things in AHII.  I loved the game, it's not like I'm happy to leave.  I spent several hundred dollars on upgrading my computer so I could run AHII well.

To those who offered constructive input, thank you!
 To those who have thus far tossed off assorted insults... ahh never mind, you have shown what kind of people you are.

Steve. If the game sux for you...then it Sucks..Its dat simple. After All, You are the thread starter. I too think the new AH sux in many ways. And it is dissapointing. Though i dont plan to leave (Present Mafia CO) I still dont like some of the changes A LOT!
I will miss ya. And hope to bump into ya again. Salute!!

All I know is I didnt totally care for AH1 last summer when I tried it.  Since trying AH2 it seems all the things I didnt care for are gone and a great game stands in its place. Im staying.

  So I guess as one is cancelled one is gained.

[MOSQ]

Now who is Fubar616 gonna hate?

You have to hang in there Steve!

[Furious]

I don't see what the big deal is.  Other than graphics and constantly worrying about fuel, it seems pretty much the exact same to me.

best thing said in this entire thread.

I feel pretty much the same as Steve I'm not going to cancel my account but I won't be online until some of the problems are solved. Using fighters I've not found any real bugs just some things i don't care for.

 But other tools like the new rockin osti, field guns that lock in one spot, disco's in 8" ship guns, bombers that won't stay on target. Trees I thought were to protect vehicles from air attack
well they don't I killed a tank in the trees with 2 rockets. I have more but they have been mentioned by others.

And yes i flew bata saw the flaws figured they would be fixed before the release (my bad)

No i dont have a crappy computer.

The folks at HTC have provided me with hours heck years of fun hope to be back soon

Ok now rip away

If steve says its not ego, Ill give the benefit of the doubt.  The next alternative is lazyness.  IMO its silly to bag it so early while almost everyone is adjusting.
I am not pleased having to adjust to the new GM, DM (enjoying the improved FM so far though), but all I have to do is look around at others performance to see Im actually adjusting pretty well.  It dispells the frustration that I cant do everything I could in AH1.
Kind of silly to throw yourself behind the curve so soon when in all practicallity you are probably ahead of the curve, but .
steve, dont be a stranger buddy.

[nopoop]

That's weird Steve, I love the FM's and the gunnery. I really like the range icons the most. You have to watch the plane. I like that.

The fights I've had so far when they came up in beta were the best "fights" I've had in a long time.

I spent a good deal of time in WBIII with their FM's and gunnery. The FM's are familier to me. WITHOUT that fuggin mush that WB has.

The gunnery while being much harder is much better IMO. Control surface input effects the shot as it should. While after 2 years of trying I could never get the hang of the "laser" gunnery of AH1.  You indeed did.

All this balled up makes for some real fun fighting. It's the fight that's fun. I was flyin a spit V the night she went live and flew over to a pair of 51b's for a tussel. Over the next few minutes I was attracting Ponies from everywhere. There was a least four. Great fight, great working it.

That wasn't possible in AH1. Fun stuff.

Steve had some great fights man .. gunna miss them .  hope to see ya back soon   ... 38maw

[TweetyBird]

Steve, you really do get used to the icons in just a few days. They do show reversals and you get a feel for where you're at in a certain icon margin (200(250 or 350?), 400 (430 or 580?), 600...1000 etc.) You begin to see when something that had been steadily pulling away (2,4,6 etc.) sort of hangs on a number, its probably reversing or slowing.

Closer fights and faster reaction times. 10 lkill sorties are probably a thing of the past, but they should be - or at least extremely uncommon.

[Slash27]

Hope you come back soon Steve .

[DipStick]

Cya Steve, sure you'll be cherry-pickin' somewhere else in no time. Welcome back Filth. both of ya's.

[Xargos]

Hate to see you leave, but I got the feeling you'll be back.  Then I'll get the chance to finaly shoot you down after 2 years of trying..lol.
