Ground Vehicles

I realize that I am obviously the monority in my views so i'll keep my maw shut about it.  Bummer I thought there would be more support for GV's than what is responding.  Well I guess I'll just spend my efforts rather than posting on this subject, instead working on shooting down all of you guys who posted in disagreement with me. hehehehe

New GVs will come, of that I have no doubt.  We need a Sherman and I recall Pyro saying that we'd see a T-34/85 whenever the Panther V gets added.  Remember, one of the biggest improvements going to AH2 from AH1 was to make the ground detail for GV fights much, much better.  I am sure they didn't do this with no intention to utilize it.

There is more to come for sure.

Wow, im in envy of a guy thats probably played this game for 1 week.

You want a ground war try WWII online you wanna fly a plane play AH.

Whats wrong with being able to do both at the same time?? I'm a hard core flight sim guy. Started out with Falcon 1.0 and the original MS Flight Simulator, and I have played most "flight sim" games since then. I also have played most tank sims out there. This game got me hooked BECAUSE it has both. I can fly a fighter or bomber or go drive around in a tank in the same game. It's great. So bring on more GV's

[uberhun]

Gv's are an important component of this sim. It is a necessary evil, for the overall immersion qualities this game has. Hence base taking, suppresion, and defence. Is it a primary flight sim? Yes. But, it is also a WWII based game that has all the primary vehical components. I think in time we will see more gv's coming into play from a development stand point. I got on because of the fact that WWII online did not have aircraft and it was not a first person based sim. All you dedicated ground guys don't worry HTC has all in mind in development thats what make this game as enjoyable as it can be!:aok

Larry: No offense intended, just being forthright.  I wish you and some of the other posters who are going to extremes with your posts would read what I suggested in my previous posts before you respond.

At no point in any of my posts did I say I want to transform aces high into a gv focused game.  I as much as anyone love that the planes are the focus, and respect that the gv's, bombers, field guns, cv, & boats are secondary.  I said I wish they would add 3 tanks to the game not 20, to help create some diversity.  So your not getting the same repeat battles over and over, so there is not such a jump in effectiveness between the two main vehicles being driven panzer & tiger.

I'm just trying to open discussion over possitive growth in the game, positive growth for all aspects of the game.  I find it frustrating that some of you want to hold back the growth of the game.

Thank you uberhun for the inside scoop, that was the answer I was fishing for.

ace31st:  Take note I'm not bragging I'm stating my experiences I realize that I spend more time in GV's than most.  Compared to some I am a newbie (been flyin just over a year), I'm average in my fighters at best.  But I think you will find in open GV battle I can hold my own against just about anyone in the game including awsomo, frylock, cyclic, Shawk, simjoace, etc......  Most of these top GV'rs drive tigers exclusive, and that is how they pad there score to stay on top of rank lists.  If you looked at my stats/ei stats in the scores board you will see that in the past 3 months I've ranked in the top 15, which i'm sure i'll do this month too (I had to stagger my time with elk an deer hunting in aug & sept).  If you were to spend some time further investigating, you would find that 95% of my kills aquired are in a panzer not a tiger.  Show me another top 10 ranked GV'r that can say the same.  It wasn't until this month that I started driving the tiger regulary.  Reason being that it is hard to out rank someone in kills per hour when they're in a tiger and your in a panzer 95% of the time.  So if people are going to cheesball in tigers every sortie then so am I.

The tiger is equal in advantage to the 262, it is so advantageous that if everyone could afford to drive them they would....all the time.  The reason the tiger is probably not perked so high, is that with the lack of vehicles it doesn't make sense.  But the fact that It can single handedly hold off a vehicle base, from any gv attacks seems overkill.  No tank should be able to hold off 4+ panzers in practical application.  So I guess I feel since it can, it shouldn't be so free to use.  Just like 262's cost so much it's rare to see them.

Of course, history didn't allow a tiger to fight a panzer, unless captured ones were used, but a single Tiger alone was used many times late in the war to defend an entire area.  If it was strategically placed, it was very effective in holding off many tanks at once.  Lets say if it was placed where no hits could be marked on its vulnerable spts, then it sat there and could take many, many hits before being disabled.  It was very well armored and the big gun didnt play!

[Masherbrum]

Aces High is NOT a Flight Sim, it is a WWII Combat Sim.  Well, according to Dale anyways.  I'll stick with the Developer of the game.

Exactly. We all have fought the good fight, and most of us have realizedour wants are on the back burner. So we will just sit back and relax and wait.
