No duh it's different than AH1, it's AH2 you dolts,

Hmm maybe we can accomplish our goal if we do it all at once.
Here goes.

My Plane flies different, the fuel consumption is different and AH itself is different then AHI!

Now. Just go with what you feel

BTW the GVs seem different then in AHI too!

No fooling, I do note spins are not as catostrophic as they should be. Whats up with that? I yank a d9 arround like a spit and have yet to get in a nasty spin or anything remotely resembling an unrecoverable spin. I checked, and my stall limiter is off.

And Hun , you mention Oldmn. We had a fight Mon night and both of us were VERY slow in 190's. I saw him him flopping and I know I was flopping. We were like 100 feet off the water and neither of us spun it. That aint right. I got the film if anyone cares to look - someone should have been spinning to aqualand. I see a5's follow me up and looking at the film, they're going 57 mph and not spinnig. I cant gripe cause I'm going 90 mph, spiral climbing and not spinning in a d9. But it aint right.

AH2 is like having to eat a ***** sandwich... You can make it look good... but it's still *****.....

I've enunciated this point before in another thread and will do it again here. People need to give AH2 a chance. I have had more fun, realistic, protracted, adrenalin pumping fights in AH2 in one month+ than in almost 2 years of AH1. The fights play out just like they read in anecdotal accounts from WW2. The lack of laser gunnery to 1000 yards (10 football fields), the more gradiated damage model and the new flight models which require aggressive throttle control and prudent rudder use combine to make the outcome of fights much more a factor of pilot skill than plane type or pre-merge advantages.

Basically, skill alone has the greatest impact on success now more than any other factor or combination of factors, spray and praying is almost useless now, while HO's are still prevalent, they require much better aim and are generally not even possible unless both parties are forcing the issue. All in all, AH2 is the most realistic WW2 flight Sim I have ever had the pleasure of playing, while still retaining immensely fun and immersive playability. With more improvements, fixes, additions, and enhancements coming on the immediate horizon, I am excited to watch it develop and mature.

I agree with you to an extent. However the FM on the German aircraft is not at all what it should be IMHO.

Specifically, the 109 shouldn't compress so easily.

The 190 shouldn't tip stall.

I have cancelled my account and will consider returning at some future date if these issues are addressed.

That's possible, I do not fly LW planes in AH. My statements were generalized, but from my subjective view-point there must be some endearing qualities of the LW rides, becuase they are much more popular in AH2 than they were in Ah1, espeically the G series 109s and the Fw190D9. I see alot more 109/190s than I ever did in AH1.
