AH1 because of how it was played.  Yea the porkers were able to kill fuel down to 25% and it sucked but the fights were a lot better.  This is coming from a furballer but fights were a lot better.  Giant furballs werent rare and many people like to fight each other instead of this Ho and run garbage that we have now.  The one thing I remember most from AH1 was a time I believe it was on either Festerma of Trinity where bunch of knights and I believe bish got into this giant hole between 2 airfields seperated by maybe 20-30 miles.  At least 50 were in that hole, yea computer got laggy and was little chance come out of that hole alive, but it was a lot of fun.

Yea you have those large furballs at times in AH2 and there are new planes that make things more interesting and the addition of more 38s makes me happy but just dont see as many furballs or as many people willing to fight.  Maybe its because the new influx of people are more into the game and the wanting to win the "war" and more veterans from AH1 quitting.

I prefer the 1 large main arena as well from AH1.  I just dont really enjoy the split arenas, some may and I respect that they enjoy it but splitting of the arenas makes the number of people in the each arena smaller and fights can be that much harder to find.  Especially on those larger maps, people can take bases without having to fight for the base.  Having everyone in that one arena, you were bound to find a fight as 200 people cant hide all the time.

Maybe its just me but I also think porking/toolshedding has gone to an all new high in AH2.

The game looks better in AH2 but still prefer AH1 for the above reasons.

My $.02.

there were better fights in AHI.  there were less dedicated porkers in AHI.  there were fewer BoPs in AHI.  but I like AHII better.  the 109s fly much better in AHII.  there are more BoPs to kill in AHII.

AHII hands down

Tried it a few  years ago (AH 1) and totally hated it. Erased it from my HD within the first 2 hours

 Currently trying AH II, and have been nothing but impressed since its instalation. Many folks who I know (flight simmers since the mid 90's) who are also trying it right now feel the same.

The game just needs more US EST primetime events....preferably in the 1 life, squad based, mission organized, multi-squad category (15-20 squads). All the tools are here no doubt.

I don't believe I'll ever miss losing a wing from a LA7 1.3k behind me in a P51.  That was no fun to say the least.  Front quarter shots were much more lethal in AH1 imo also.

So, its a hands down for AHII as far as I'm concerned.  Not that AH1 didn't have its moments.  Its just that some of the AH1 moments weren't so great.   Plus, I really hated night (which is actually not unique to AH1).  

Also, something which isn't unique to AH1, the BBS was of no value to someone learning the game at the time.  In fact, I don't think there were ever a bigger bunch of buttheads than on this BBS.  Yes, most are still here just censored.

I like AH better before that incredibly idiotic contest for top rank potato.  All that contest did was usher in the the era of the Score potato and the game play hasn't been the same since.  And one arena was good too but I can see why HTC had to make the change on that and agree with it.

AH 1 no question. Smaller community, less 12 year old squeakers, better fights.

When I responded that I prefer II, I thought we were talking about the software, not the community, and not the arena settings...

Porking rules, and whiners are not the fault of the program...   I don't think its fair to vote for AH1 because of rule changes that had nothing to do with the core program.
