banana,

Never had any real problems killing panzers on the other side though.
People just doesn't seem to know how to deal those in something else than PzIIIH.
Just needs a side shot at the turret or hull and end of story.
(with stuart it's even more insane - you can kill PzIIIH from the side provenly at least from 1.8km!  I've done it twice and few more times a tad closer, but still unbelievably far.. on the first time I actually was able to aim the turret!)

Try the same against crusader or matty, when you have daimlers all around you :I

Can't say theres same complaints..


banana,

yeah.. thats true.. forgot about it.
but its still like 12 matties if you like, versus 12 PzIIIH and then can have say 7 crussies and 5 daimlers with germans having .. say ... 10-11 PZ38t's and 1-2 232.
Of course theres the 88, but it has alot of limitations to its usage due to immobile and fragile nature.
Then both sides has a plentiful amounts of basic ATG's, where the 2pdr has a significant advantage over Pak36.
(Pak36 is having hard times against crusader and even worse against matildas)



My guess is that PaK38 will change more the gameplay than 6pdr - it's not much of a difference for german tankers, than it would be for allied tankers.
Matilda could be torn apart by Pak38, whereas 36 cant  do squat.

i think its impossible to have 12 matties in a spawn, the map would take 3 months to get that long.  

3h starts with 5 at the first rdp, then 7 or 8 then next rdp.

Matty is the only tank that takes a pounding all other tanks die if u sneeze at them.  3h is second in that list, if u hit the sweet it blows every time.

The issue are on both sides, dont be side blind on this.

1. Takeoff: I really don't pay much attention. While AH take-offs are very easy, I can't say take-offs in real life are that much more difficult. Even in a nervous airplane such as the Pitts or the Zlin Z-50, you can count to 5 and you are airborne. It is indeed easier in AH than in RL, but then again, in WW2OL I got the 110-rotocopter all too often...

2. Landings: All too easy in AH, agreed, but I can't say I like those in WW2OL. In this case, I'll give this one to WW2OL just for the sake of it :)

3. Speed: I like the new terrain in AH2, but I don't like the sensation of speed at low altitude of any of the two. Of course, it has to do with peripheral vision, so I guess it's a computer simulation limitation.

Anyway, for ground warfare, it's clear WW2OL is the best choice, but for flying, I'll take AH2 anyday.

1) WW2OL takeoffs are for the most part ridiculously easy. The 109 for  example takes off on its on virtually (startup lock tailwheell gun it and you're off).

2) WW2OL landings are just as easy... you can even thump it into the ground, drag wings, without worrying about damage.


The WW2OLs games a mess at the moment due to their last patch which brought more bugs than features, CTD's are rife, sounds are porked, netcode in the air is abolutely crap...

Bad time for a free trial. Its gonna do CRS more damage than good.

Where I have heard that before? Release? Or the patch that was reported to "eat hard drives?"

Possibly, but the WW2OL crowd probably take one look or trial of AH2 and say the same thing. Air war to WW2OL is like the Ground War in AH2, laughable at best.

Personally at the moment I don't think there's any online game at the moment worth the monthly sub and that's including AH. I know it's only $15 bucks but that equates to about $30 kiwi less in my credit card each month that id rather put towards racing.

End of the day, they all have their own different shortcomings, some more then others.
