once again, this game was released 7 years ago .


Did you even look at those screenshots you linked? They look nothing like that wallpaper.

I used to think AH was graphically under par, when i bought IL2 for the first time.

i played IL2 for about 2 days, got fed up with just about everything except the graphics that quick.

only thing IL2 is good for is wallpaper.


As far as AH2, the graphics are good enough for me, and the gamneplay and models are the best available anywhere.


i have plent of screenies pinted out on my wall. Mates come round and say 'hey cool picture, where you take that?'      'er, its a game i play online, :D'

hey, check this out, its bloody art.



notice anything about it?

yup thats right, its from AH1.


with AH2 the addition of custom skins can be used for many things, like telling you how i feel about people who wont pay to play, but still talk crap about a game just because it dont look good enough.






do you want the Best looking girl in the room, and be her slave all night only to find out she doesnt even give head?

or do you go for the girl next door type who looks good enough to make you buy her a beer, and knows exactly how to get down in the hay.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

I played that game. Including runing around on the ground with my guy after he bailed out.
There was no mipmapping, and still, it looked better than AH2.
I suggest you download the demo and try it out for yourself.

I'm not even going to compare AH2 with IL2 sturmovik.

Frankly, you are comparing apples to oranges.  JSF is a 'finished' product...AH2 isn't. All of the visuals in AH2 will be improved....it's a matter of time. HTC spent near a year and a half writing the new graphics engine and recoding AH1. The plan was to have it done in 9 months. Unfortunately, the fact that the product was so late meant that little time was spent on creating new graphics to go with the new engine. The remedy for a lot of this should be done shortlly...the tile editor. I also know that HTC is working to remodel all of the planes to take advantage of the new engine.

If you really want to face something...try facing the fact that AH2 is not 'finished', it is constantly improving in all aspects. So, if you don't like what you see...go play JSF and come back in 6 months. :)

THIS is what you call "backpedaling" folks.  That linked picture has just proved your hollow accusations.  Reminds me of the dolt in your avatar.

BTW, since you don't even pay, you'll be ignored.  What a tool you are, and a dull one at that.   I also will enjoy NOT seeing your fat, f*** cousin in your avatar.

who's willing to bet that the reason he left had nothing to do with the graphics or game play?  he probably just got fed up being shot down everytime he took off so he just comes around and tries to troll.  Sadly, his trolls are even worse than his flying.

i happen to disagree ACK,

i think that he has different opinions than most, but he is an interesting addition to the mix.

i for one would miss his input.

but then, most would not miss mine as i am much the same.

sad really.

diversity is what makes the soup good.

i havent noticed alot of it as of late...but thats probably just me...and its probably because i am anti-iraq  lol

But they aren't really 3-d .. you can't move around in them .. at least it was in AEP... haven't gotten PF's......

something to think about ...... HTC models everythign in 3-d ... they don't just paint pretty pictures and put your head on a pin like IL2.......

so compareing cockpits is apples and oranges, if you don't consider that

I will say this though...

For an online game where player subscriptions are the only source of income, HTC has come out with a fine game. In the same breath, I'm tired of waiting 3+ weeks for any news WHATSOEVER. If this was my likelyhood, I'd be throwing bits and pieces of info, screenshots, news etc. out every chance I could to keep my CLIENTS well informed an interested. Even if its a pic of the HTC office :)

If his post had been constructive critism then I would agree but it wasn't.  It was a very lame flame against HT and HTC for basically saying that he and his company are not up to the abilities to design and build a quality game and should look for outside assisatance to shore up any short comings.  His posting of a 5+ year old game screen shot just proves he was trying nothing more than trolling with a lame bellybutton flame.

Why hasn't anyone banned SpitV yet? Clearly his mom didn't smother him effectivly when he was an infant and the job's been left to the new of us left competant enough to finish the job right.
