Okay, fine. I'm done with this. You've said as much before and this is the last time I stand here and take your crap.

Consider me done with this thread. However my comments are NOT to be brushed off so lightly as Kweassa suggests. If you've got IL2 you can make up your own mind. Fly it. You'll see.

... and the toys have officially left the pram.

just read this thread.

Ive tried very very hard to like IL-2 and I always come back to AHII.

Its not the fidelity, the physics, the views or the historical accuracy.
Its just sterile. Thats the best word for it.
Lovely graphics but no soul. Long time getting anywhere (yes I know you can speed it up but thats not real!) and limited AI...

I dunno, its just boring in the end... and I drop it and Im back into AH again.

Cant understand why the IL-2 guys on my local server dont ever try AH either. they seem worse zealots than us even.

Really nice writeup Kweassa. There is room on the playground for more than one toy.

Ok, first off - htc flight dynamics have more parameters in their calculations.

Secondly I disagree that a stream of lead needs to hit an ammo box or main spar to snap off a wing. The wing's allready loaded and a lead knife is introduced.

Anyone tried a snap roll in il2 ... or an inverted spin --- sim failure.

As has been said - il2 for candy, AH for randy!

I play both the new IL2 1946 and aces high on a regular basis. I think they are totally different games. I originally bought il2 because I do alot of filming and wanted better graphics and more control. As an example you can make up convoys with as many ships and aircraft as you like. You can choose from hundreds of maps alot of which are historical. There are many more people designing skins, maps, missions etc for il2 than there are for ah2. Even better you can alter these all to suit yourself. Also I havent done much online with il2 but I know there is a huge community out there including squadrons from just about every country. They even have world competitions at aerobatics etc... and an american squadron supported by the blue angels and flying in their colors. Il2 has a huge amount to offer if you are into that sort of thing and with the endless amount of historical skins ( I stopped counting at 200 for the 109 alone ) and ready made maps and missions it is a brilliant sim. I also like being able to easily design maps and control far more gvs etc...than ah2. So if you like being in a squad, flying in historical skins in structured missions with set goals it might be for you. I personally have had zero problems with setup and found the learning curve quite short. Alot of the problem is that you have to find lots of things out for yourself but the forums are really useful. Of course I suppose for some its biggest advantage is NO MONTHLY FEE . Once you own the game its free to play online.Having said that I will never leave ah, great guys, lots of fun things to do and high numbers.
Also ah has arenas that are changing by the minute. Like I said 2 games with different gameplay but both in mho are brilliant in their own rights. jdjnr
