Possible influx on WW2OL newbies

[Vulcan]

and maybe a few oldies...

CRS in their infinite wisdom just pissed 90% of the flying playerbase off by announcing the P-38, Spit IX, and 190 for Xmas, then not letting them get in game, so theres mumblings by the angry mob over there they might give AH2 a go in the meantime.

Please be nice and show these guys the ropes (and enjoy the pickings!).

Also, check the news section.  HTC doesn't reveal the aircraft they are producing until they are nearly completed, so its kind of a nice suprise (or disappointment ) when you do find out what is being added.

GL to you, hope you like AH

HTC is hiding SANTA-reindeer-plane!!!! I QUIT!!!:mad:

Welcome to AH pilots.

Hope you enjoy just as much as I do.

Personally and without animosity, I think your dreaming.  Noone over there is considering coming over here. Certainly not in the broadest vicinity of the numbers you are indicating.  1 maybe 2 may have allowed the thought to cross their minds. But thats all it would be, a fleeting thought.  Those over there, wont get their jollies from Aces High as I suspect many from here would not get theirs there.  Too very different animals.

I'm thinking Spook is probably right. AH needs a solid ground game before it'd successfully pull from WW2OL's playerbase... and if it did have it, all of you would freak when people swarmed over and the focus was no longer on AtA

Yes, very.

I played WWIIOL for exactly one year and just closed my account about 2 weeks ago. The game is a blast and the graphics are excellent. Game play is varied and never tiresome. My biggest issue was (since I spent most of my time as a foot solider) was crawling around for 30 minutes, never seeing an enemy and then suddenly “POP”, I am dead. I would often log off and ask myself why I was playing this game. While it is rare in AH for someone to jump you and you never see them, in WWIIOL it is much more common place and a point of frustration for me. In AH you have an exchange. You trade moves with your enemy and even if you lose you may have learned something. You might even have a film to review should you choose to. In WWIIOL your just dead with out any input on what you could have done wrong. Now don’t get me wrong, this is not always the case. I have had many fire fights in armor and building to building street fights that were every bit as exciting as any dog fight I had in AH, but there is that  basic and necessary element of game play called the foot solider that often is killed without any exchange of information.

There is much more I could add to this, but that is one game play component that was often very frustrating to me that I would never experience in AH.

One thing for you WW2OL players that may be joining us.

Dont expect to play WW2OL in another game. Dont expect AH to be another WW2OL. Its not. If you expect it to be another WW2OL you will be extreamly disapointed.

Though if you play AH as AH then you will really enjoy your stay.

A game can never replace another right off. Each game is differnet and if striving to find the same game somewhere else you just set your self up with a huge disapointemnet. Trust me I know.

AH2 is not a WW2 sim. It does not simulate WW2. Its a aviation sim with WW2 planes. It simulates you as a pilot of WW2 planes. But its not a WW2 sim.

You wount find WW2 here (except for in Events) but you will find fantastic airial combat in WW2 planes.

Ummm guys, the pile-its in WW2OL aren't all that different from the crowd in AH. A good CT setup would make them happy happy people.

Anyway, let me put it this way, the only A2A in WW2OL right now involves JU-52's and the dorsal gunners trading BB's.

No Spits, Hurris, H75s, H81s, P38s, P39s, Blens, DB7s, Havocs...

No 109s, 110s, HE-111's, Stukas, or 109s....


Just JU52s...

(oh and tomcat41, if ur reading this, kiss my hairy braided butt).

Well welcome aboard any and all new fellas... many or few

I wish that were true. I am a big fan of the CT, but it offers very little compared to WWIIOL. Not the fault of the CT CM’s but the foundation of both sims. AH is a WWII aircraft sim. WWIIOL is a WWII sim that encompasses ground, sea, and air. As Tex said you can only find the WWII in AH in events in so far as a bit of history and classic matches.

I dare say the coming of the TOD will change that for AH (for those that fly in the TOD) and I for one am looking forward to that.

WW2OL is an odd lot, even for online crowds. They are masocists. I know. I was one for the first 3 years it was out. I left for a second time this past June to come back here.

   Although the game has vastly improved..especially these past few patches, some of the things the Rats do is odd. Im sure they have their reasons, but sometimes it irks alot of people. Thing is it seems few leave. They vent on the forums and come right back for more. AH is no WW2OL, and WW2OL is no AH. Two totally different animals.

Here some people vent and leave:p
