"That pretty much sums it up. If you are used to air fighting in AH you probably won't really like it there. Although WWIIOL has the added advantage of going and being a trooper, tanker, AA gunner or go sailing in a Destroyer etc. so theres much more variation"
WWII Online is a sim, very emersive any many rolls for one to play.
"As for the difference between the 2, AH and WWIIOL. Aces High is by far the more fun, WWIIOL is more of a war simulation than AH"
In YOUR opinion it's more fun, different strokes.......
"AH seems to be a great combination between realism and gamey, which makes it fun, whereas wwiiol can be frustrating as hell, planes can get downed by miracle shot's from rifle fire, i had a streak of about 20 kills in a Spit V that i kept reupping, hammered a stuka then pilot was critically wounded from 1 hit from single stuka tailgun. When you die, 95% of the time you will be thinking "WTF killed me?"
And AH isn't at times frustrating as hell? And AH tanks can be disabled or tracked by the miracle stray .303 round. Yes a single round from a tailgun would more than likely critically wound or kill a pilot IRL in ww2. In real war I'd bet 95% of the guys killed didn't know where it came from, your just dead
Both games have their pro's & con's, bugs & quirks niether is anywhere near perfect. If you prefer more "realistic" flying AH is the way to go. If you enjoy tanks, AA guns, infantry, ships, command roles or strategic planning WWII Online is the way to go.
