As a matter of fact, I have tried WWIIOL. Came back to Aces High because it had better "Squad Based Action" and the unlimited ability to drive armor and other vehicles which WWIIOL doesn't have. But yes, the armor they do have is very good. And the game play was very good, but it is such a large area and the fact that most of the time you can't get any armor and are forced into a roll that you don't want brought me back to Aces High.

I play Aces High for the ground vehicle aspect of the game. You obviously don't. Aces High is a better game because it has BOTH aspects of the game. Plan enough for most to see and understand.

Since both aircraft are moving at high speeds it wouldn't be the "shooting fish in a barrel" thrilling experience that GV spawn camping provides though.

~~Did you play AH a lot before it even had GV's?~~

6 guys crossing back in forth over a 300 stretch, would be like popping pt boats that can only fire the way they are facing.

Oh please bring this out, It would be like spawn camping a gv spawn with a twist. I need a change up from the same ol same spawn camping. lol

oh come on... you know you would be able to camp an air start spawn.

i can do it on one of the air start maps like the old terrain used for that competition. aircraft spawn for one base was 10k. just do high/low yo-yo's around it, and boom, you can kill a plane before then engine even fully starts

No, I didn't. I looked for a game that was fun and based on WWII. I saw AH on the "Wings" channel. Checked it out online and noticed it had GVs. Decided to try it. Liked it.

Found that if the planes didn't have to do an ILS approach to the field, I suked in them. Found that GVs were a lot of fun and was invited to join a great GV squad. Have since flown fighters and buffs but GVs are still my favorite. Or were till this headshake drove me out of them. But the point of this game is to have fun. My fun lies in ground vehicles. It is what I am good in.

If you don't like ground vehicles, it is your loss. I happen not to like furballing. That is my loss.
The game is good because it caters to both you and me. I don't fault you for not liking GVs, don't fault me for liking them.

10 random spawns 10k yards apart solves your problem.

EQUALITY men... EQUALITY and REALISM!!!

UNITE!

~~Then you really can't make any comparison, can you?~~

MadSquirrel · « **Reply #23 on:** March 28, 2006, 02:46:44 PM »

Yes I can. I have played flight games the way it appears you would like AH to be. There for there is a comparison.

If Aces High was so great the way it was, HTC would not have changed it now would they.

Seems to me they wanted to expand the player base which they did. If they had not, there wouldn't be an Aces HighII. Just an old floppy disk on the shelf with faded print reading "Aces High. The Fighter Pilots Game"

Oh, they expanded the player base alright. You can see the results any prime time in the MA. The results are not pretty, particularly on the text buffer. The resulting "HordeWarrior" gameplay style isn't anything to be cherished either.

Adding players did not, does not and would not necessarily "improve" the game.

As to your assumption that without an expanded player base there would not have been an AH2, it's an assumption.

IIRC, HT said AH1 was a success, so it's unlikely it would have just faded out without GV's.

The only thing GV's added was something to do for the guys that don't have enough persistence to learn to fight in the air. They make "fighting" more simple.

Were they removed in toto tomorrow I seriously doubt it would spell then end of AH.

i bet wwiiol is too complicated for them. i play that game too - although i much prefer aces high on a whole, land warfare in wwiiol blows AH out the water.

they want their magical spawn, pointy click spawncamping unrealistic GV war, not war simulation.

can you say 'Tank Quake'?

maybe when you spawnpoint 5 tanks in a row you should get a 'M-M-M-MONSTER KILL!'

JMFJ · « **Reply #26 on:** March 28, 2006, 03:24:16 PM »

So let me understand this:

You don't like GV's spawning in cause it's not realistic

So you propose air craft spawning in (which would classify as not realistic)

Then leave us with a quote of realistic and equality

your post is neither, wierd.

Toad · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2006, 03:33:15 PM »

This from the man that just set a Personal Best spawncamping in a Tiger.

Anyway, just saying..... Equality works both ways.

Which way do you want it? No spawn out for any vehicle or spawn out for every vehicle?
