Hi my name is LeadPump and I'm addicted to online ganes  :)

I'm new here so maybe I can give this some insight from a new player.

I did play AW a few years ago (then took a 2-3 year vacation into RPG's). But the one thing I found superior to AH in AW was the radar. I'd say otherwise you've got a far superior game here otherwise. But the radar system here really blows.  :) It's the only thing I was disappointed with, but I rely on it probably as much as any other feature. It's difficult for me to spot exactly what's going on there. I'm sure overtime I'll get more adjusted to it, but it is an aquired taste.

Also as was stated the smoke really is murder on frame rates. I like how a plane can get lost in the smoke. It can be hard for a field gunner to spot a plane in the smoke and I do like that, seems realistic. I've been doing a lot of field gunning waiting on my new flying stuff to get here (my usb CH throttle just got here today *gush*). But that smoke is a killer to my system performance.

That's 2 things, but it's about the only things that's bugged me. Other than everyone having a field day on my newbie butt  :) LeadPump

The whiners who consistantly whine about the same thing 50 times an hour for the last 2 years. Nothing spoils the game more for me.

No real complete planeset from any one era of the war.
Pick a period and fill it.. move on to the next.


agree 100%


and for me the perceived silence HTC seems to take when it comes to game play, flight modelling, and where the sim is going in the future. An issue for me was the CT, I took leave of AH about a week before this came out, maybe I was looking in the wrong places for intel because it's introduction took me totally by surprise.  I realize hindsight is 20/20 but I don't believe I would've quit had I known it was otw.  As it stands I'm waiting for 1.08    :)

The Clipboard,

It gets in the way of both fuel and ordanance readings and selection.

How many times have you been up in a tangle and you engine quits   :eek: because you only took 25% fuel when you intended or thought you had selected 50% or 75% fuel?

Same goes for ordanance.

The Animation sequences in going from tower to hanger, in bring up the map on the clipboard, etc.  too slow...

The view system default slew view (F8).  My preferences  is for the instant snap (F9) view.  It would be nice if this was user configurable.

those are the major ones.

The lack of stratigic targets.  The fuel ammo and rebuild time items don't really do they same thing.  Something permament until the reset occurs would be nice.

I liked the idea about having 50% fields and 50% cities/factories and when a side has been reduced to 50% total, say fields reduced by 70% and cities/factories reduced by 30%, the reset occurs.

I would also like fixed ground cover for the tanks.

One ping ack kills at 500mph, but no hits at all under 250mph.

Clipboard/items in Hangar. Ditch the items and make loadouts/fuel selectable on the clipboard.

Buffs turning on one wing at 30k.

Glass tail on P-38.

Single engine taxiing in twin engined A/C

Lanc 50 mile takeoff run.

Flap errors.
