I don't go in the hanger, so I don't know whether it gets talked about, I'm mainly infantry so I guess obear has a differing opinion to the amount of time it gets discussed through viewing of different forum.

I didn't really intend for this to become a slam on either game. I was just curious if there'd been any bleedover from that one.

Thats all right Billiken, this happens every time when somebody mention the other game the thread suddenly swarms with people crying for either one to be much better than the other and people who accuse others for recruiting. Usually the same happens in WW2OL boards, too. I'd understand that between, say, WB and AH, but not between AH and WW2OL because their focus is so different.

PS. Oh, and my WW2OL handle was/is Chrg.

yes they do, becasue like AH players are also WWIIonline players. WWII players are also AH players.

Look at my account activation date, i have been a longer AH member than you.

Yes there has been posts about AH when people try it and dont get on with it ans then people who have played or do play AH defend it on the WWIIonline forums.

I come to the AH forums becasue i love the game and keep an eye on it to see how things are going. When i can afford to pay for 2 MMORPG a month ill re-sub AH. not becasue im missing somthing in WWIIonline, cos if that was the fact i would unsub from WWIIonline and re-sub Aces high wouldnt I? In fact i had both going at the same time for a while but it was a bit expencive and i was playing AH less becasue of the damn Pizza map at the time.

The fact im playing WWIIonline over AH points to the fact im gettign more out of WWII online than i was with AH.

talk about WWIIonline fanboys, you really need to take of your AH fanboy blinkers and realise its not "Them and Us" because most AH or WWIIonline players play or have played both. thast why you get WWIIonline player sin here, its becasue we have been in here for years, we have accounts here.

WWIIOL provided for me, a heart-pounding experience about every other time I spawned. The same kind of feeling I used to get when I was rolling down the runway in AH, years ago. Years ago, when AH was a on-line flight community, and not a profit-strapped business.

I played WWIIOL a few months ago, it was fun, but it needs to be experienced in a dedicated squad to bring out the best of that virtual world.

I played ww11ol from day one until @ 4 months ago.
The 64 limit was bad enough, but when they changed the interface, and added limited supplies, and gave a limited number of players the ability to influence the RPS cycles and research to the game, well that lost it for me.
It took away the ability for me to do what I wanted.
It's a shame, 'cause I had a lot of fun.
Playin a space game now

The enemies are not appearing randomly, but in the air the player limit does tricks occacionally as the faster planes are harder to track for the servers.

Soldiers do not clip through objects.

ermmm have you actually played the game? ever?

You're missing something. A lot of people play both games. They both cover WW2 from different perspectives, with MMO capability. Both have good sides and bad sides. There's regular discussion about other sims in WW2OL boards, with AH2 covered as well. Have you ever played WW2OL or been in their boards, or are you just speaking from one tiny corner without really knowing what the other corners of the room are like?

mars01 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 01, 2006, 07:46:09 AM »

LOL OMG are you guys still going on with this thread.

I don't care about WWIIO, sorry if I offended any of it's fan boys. If I was a WWIIO person and AH people were coming into the boards posting about AH I would also think it was teh funnay.

carry on LOL.

We should set up a duel similiar to what was done with the WB players. Have a group of AH and WW20L pile-its and GV'ers duel each other.

Would be interesting to see how some squadrons like the LTARs would fair against the other ground fairies..err I mean GVers of WW20L. Honestly though, the WW2OL pile-its wouldn't stand a chance against the AH pile-its but the ground duel would be interesting.

ack-ack

I too played WWIIOL at launch. I think I stuck with it for 2 months. Crawling around as infantry at night (when it was really pitch black), was a real blast. I remember finding myself in a slight depression and just watching the horizon for silhouettes. Then I'd shoot them. It was fun. Too damn buggy though.

I started playing it again about a year ago. It's is WAY better than it was then. You CAN fly and fight, which you couldn't do at release. It's a hell of a lot of fun. It's got some minor problems, but then again, so does every game out there.

I recommend that you try the free trial and get into some squad.

I've been trying the welcome back soldier trial, the reasons why i left haven't be en fixed. The biasing is still junk, just had a fight against a 109 that kept blinking in and out. How am i supposed to fight something if i can't see it. I had suspicions this was happening but just put it off to my rusty SA during dogfights.l I should have trusted my gut feeling.

I had a 109 blinking in and out while i had a guns solutions, he was dissapearing for a couple of seconds at a time.

Is there a way you can choose what you want to see? As a fighter pilot i want to see primarily a) enemy fighters b) enemy bombers. Secondly a) flak b) gv's. I don't care that several men are running below me whilst i'm trying to shoot down a 109 so we can gain air superiority. Surely i would want to see other things at dif times ie when strafing enemy gv's + men would be a priority.

I don't think i'll be resubscribing, the game frustrates me far too much.

I've never had trouble with aircraft appearing and disappearing when I'm close to them. What I don't like is the view system for aircraft and how the icons disappear when you change views. That's a design-choice, though, not a bug.

Messiah · « **Reply #59 on:** July 01, 2006, 10:10:06 PM »

I played ww2ol from the start for years under the handle "Madness". I mostly flew the aircraft and also rifleman with drcairo's crew.
