Well said Pepe.

Redtop does have the customer service down in WWIIOL. It is the worst I have ever seen for any sim, but if you don't have to deal with CRS then you will be fine.

Absolutely right.

That "someone" is Dale.

He'll eventually do a whole new game that has it all or this on will evolve into that.

Who said leaving? Gixer, maybe you should read a bit closer before you open your mouth... I said "give AH a go in the meantime". Your like the immature brat at the back of the class who tries to be smart with big words but always gets it wrong.

It wasn't just the lack of new aircraft it was the fact that all you could fly for intermission was the JU52, a troop transport. Go look at the forums, WW2OL pilots were forced to AH, PF, IL2... -sim to get their flying fix.

You always remind me of the fullback on the field that runs from the other end to throw a punch and then run back behind the forwards.

I've been lonewolfing in WW2 for awhile now, no need to 'BELONG' to a squad to have fun...

learn to read the map, read the radio chatter, pick a spot and have fun...

both sides have there strenghts and weaknesses, but I choose Axis most of the time, the teamwork is just much better then Allies.

the planes do suck though...

I just came back to AH and im not planning on leaving or nothing...however, Ive looked at some of the online info for ww2online. The descriptions sound really cool but, if you want to fly can u just jump in a plane and fly or is it like eve online where u spend wekks and months training a skill to be able to do certain things?
Im still reading the info at there site but it doesnt really answer all my questions
Crap now I gotta redo my cool sig.....crap!!! I cant remeber how to do it all !!!!!

That's right!
Rock:  Ya see that Ensign, lighting the cigarette?
Powell: Yes Rock.
Rock: Well that's where I got it, he's my son.
Powell: Really Rock, well I'd like to meet him.
Rock:  No ya wouldn't.

You have to start off in early planes and work up to later one's depending on how you do - I tried it this week, not a lot of fights and my FR went down the tubes whenever I got near anyone.

On the plus side there's not a lot of planes to choose from anyway and it's all dogfights under 3k from what I saw.

They're also VERY touchy and convinced that their flight mode/gameplay/gunnery etc etc is better than anything else on the planet.

It wasn't a great experience all in all.

Tried it out when it first came out.
Buggy,buggy,buggy
 Bought the cd, paid the sub...
 Went back a yr or so ago when they offered free time again....

 About a month or so ago figured I'd check it out again,,, pay for a mo to see if I like it or not......

 Damn game wants me to purchase a cd key along w/ a sub.
 Tell em I got a cd key and it tells me that one is in use (no chit,, It's mine you mullets)
 They have all my info from past and there is noway to get around the cd key thing..
 Have dropped them many enuff emails, but not 1 frickin response.
 
 So for me it all sums up to they suck and won't see my money I guess.

 Noway to run a biz imho
