Looks like WB III might get vehicles
« on: April 13, 2001, 11:24:00 AM »
They're talking LVT's too. Kinda funny how I was flamed only 15 months ago for suggesting vehicles in Warbirds (when AH was at the discussion point of vehicles by users on the BBS..Hiya Stigler, others!)...now they're following the footsteps of AH and doing an M3 first?
   

IMO, adds more strat depth, not much more, but hey, more targets, more things to think about.

Hehehehe... it looks more and more like WB III will be a virtual copy of AH.

Rip

I dont mind if they add vehicles to WB, just as long as they are accurate, and add to game play (which BTW gives an excuse for the stuka, il-2. p39 etc.) some aircraft will actually be useful. Hell I'd like them to model subs too, now that we have an ocean bed. Should be interesting.

LOL...I remember a couple of the WBs guys saying they wouldnt mind vehicles being in WBs as they as they were just AI vehicels....

Something about WBs being just a flight sim :^P

Nah, they know AH will always be better, so they are trying to follow and keep their simple minded cheerleaders saying they're better.

Have you guys ever listen Led Zeppelin's "Comfortably Numb" ?

I'm in that mood right now, Try it sometimes!

"There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child, I had a fever
My hands felt just like, two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb"


That album was a masterpiece, and remains one of my all-time favorites. The description of losing one's grip on reality is poignant.

Forget the sim bashing; I wanna go fire up "The Wall" and chill out.  

By the way, it is Pink Floyd

  Now all they have to do is find someone willing to play WB3.

Beautiful song, I really love it.
If you wanna listen to one of Pink Floyd's best songs, listen to the underrated "When The Tigers Broke Free"

It can only be found in napster.

It is in no Pink Floyd CD, it only appears in the Movie, The Wall.

Its the song you hear when the young kid is putting on his fathers WWII british uniform. Very emotional song.

Thanks for the simple minded cheerleader comment, was apprieciated.

I have never knocked AH, ask rip. I debate quite often whether or not to join AH, but 2 issues always come up lack of early war planes, and people like you saying I'm simple.

In the overall scheme of things Ah and WB should and must have different things to offer the paying public. Otherwise one is not going to do so well. In order to keep things fresh, all these sims need a ground game whether it's player controlled or by the AI. I think a combination of both would prolly be the best.
