TequilaChaser, what about the people like me who have been here since day one of AH1, who have been cheerleaders for HTC, who have beefy rigs capable of running AH2 at full graphics levels at fast fps.....
and yet are still not impressed by AH2? Look, I don't want to beat a dead horse, but not everyone out there who is unimpressed are newbies who can't afford to upgrade.
I spent many years as a rabid HTC cheerleader, but after waiting so long for AH2, the final product came as a complete letdown(although I could see that in the beta, too).
I'm hanging in there trying to patiently wait for the improvements that this new engine is supposed to allow, but to attack fellow customers on this BBS for expressing some displeasure with the product they pay money for each month is not very sporting, if you ask me.
That being said, I do like the new FM and gunnery, so it's not a total disaster. WW2OL is pulling ahead of AH2 in the graphics dept, though, especially when it comes to visual damage cues and the terrain. If HTC can improve in both of those areas, then it will be something well worth paying for, at least until TOD makes it appearance. TOD could be, if done right, the next big thing in online flight sims.
