Coming from a terrain builder's point of view... AH2 is MUCH better than AH1. Everyone that only flies in the MAs will not see that... but we are able to do things now we could only dream of before. Hopefully you will look at the Pearl Harbor Terrain once it is completed to see what I mean.
Spycat here are some of the biggest changes:
- The graphics model was the first change
- Clutter Objects were removed and replaced with tile objects which means forests, farms, fields, etc.
- Community members have the ability to skin aircraft and use them in-game via skuzzy approval (max of 15 per plane)
- When you bail out you can shoot the .45 the pilot holds.
- Planes have been remodelled and new planes added. P38, b17, P51s, P47s, 109s, spits, 190s, and f4us have been remodelled to AH2 standards. Ki84, B24, T34, P38J, P38G, Spit8, Spit16, 109k4 replaced 109g10, 109g14, P47N, Jeep and F4U-1A have been added.
- Terrain Builders have the ability to build and import objects. For Ex: I built Tokyo and Nagasaki. Kantorri built Leningrad. Dux is finishing Pearl Harbor.
