AH1 was a lot better. My pc didn't have the first struggle with AH1, with AH2 I'm constantly having frame rate issues.

I also miss the fuel being porked to 25%. Sure it sucked when it porked at a field I wanted to up at, but I think it made it more chalenging. Give the strat guys more targets to hit as well as defenders more of a reason to defend.

I don't think there's any doubt but that AH2 is the better program.  Flight models are better, gunnery models are better, graphics are better, without requiring a whole lot more computer horsepower.

I think the player base has changed a lot since AH1.  My sense is that there is a smaller proportion of people dedicated to WWII aerial combat now than there was then.  That's why many of us remember AH1 as having better fights (that, and the fact that we're aging and losing our minds).

So:  if you took the current player base, and re-installed AH1, I think the game would be slightly worse.

AH1, I miss the massive furball at the start of the map for the first 10-15 minutes.  AHII has it's good points too, I'm just a bit nostalgic sometimes.

Had more fun in AH1, especially before the first flight model change.

i joined AH1 sometime in 2003 and it was at its peak of enjoyment and good attitudes right then, that i have seen.


slowly from that time onwards the lameplay increased, the bickering and egos got louder, the community doubled and the gameplay got less combat orientated.


i remember my first mission, i had the good fortune to wing up with Wolfala suring my two week trial and that cat showed me some of the coolest things in just a few hours.

i remember on pizza map we flew with our loverly fuel burn X1 settings for hours, and when the enemy stopped coming he showed me something which made me think he was cool as a cucumber in a freezer from that day on,  he guided us down to land on a road just outside the radar circle of enemy base and we waited there saving our fuel for the dar bar to come back.....   suddenly he shouts over vox

 'oh crap, get off the road quick'

 'ok why, whats going on......'   BAM!  

i got hit by a titanium convoy of trucks going 120mph.


other times i would fly out and be talking on channel 1 to the enemy, we would meet up fly wing to wing for a few hundred yards then break off and seperate for the fight to start.



things like that dont happen anymore.






despite how much i miss those days of novelty experiences each time i logged in, the improvements to the game model itself  easily make up for the degredation of gameplay and comunity spirit and fair play fighting.


AH1 looked good for its time, but now it would be shockingly bad visually. we forget how much the little touches like smoke on engine start up, oil on screen, fire that looks like fire and not tinfoil flapping behind your plane.

AH2 is 110% the better game, with about a 10% decrease in the quality of community since ive been playing.


i could not live without vast upgrades between the two games now ive been playing the better version for so long.

It is human nature to only remember what was good and not what was bad... one can remember plesant feelings but not painfull ones...

hence what once was is always remembered as better then what we have today...

In one way this pathetic human nature is good... without it there would never ever have been more then one child born per woman and we would have been extinct long ago...

AH2 far better. As for gameplay and overall atmosphere it is people not digit in name.

Same here...for the feeling of freedom as well.

The current AH2 is to GD restricting.

See, i am the kind of person that can live without the upgrades as long as the experience is still fun.

A kinder community is always much more fun for me.
