This or That?

[Latrobe]

I'm wondering what people think about how AH2 has changed over the last year, so I made a short list of things that have changed and I want to know which features of AH2 did you like more?

(I may add more to the list later on, or if you think of one post it on here)
_____________________________ _____________________________ _

What did you like more?

"The old MA" or "The New MA"
"The old old TT" or "The old TT" or "The New TT"
"The Old scoring system" or "The new scoring system"
"The old ord graphics" or "The New ord graphics (this being rkts, bombs, and DTs)
"The old P-38G" (600lbs lighter) or "The new P-38G" (600lbs heavier)
"The old maps" or "The new maps"


For me I liked Old MA a little better, old old TT, new scoring system, new ord graphics, old P-38G (but I haven't flown it much anyways ), and the old maps

There have actually been 4 different evolutionary stages of TT in the last 7 months

TT 1.0 "Original TT" small city, close spawn points. Whack-A-Mole. You could have mindless  instant action whenever you were bored

TT 2.0 New, bigger town. Sherman VC was introduced at the same time. Spawns still quite close to each other. Still big numbers.

TT 3.0 Spawns pulled way back, a abundance of hedgerows were introduced. Numbers plummeted

TT 3.1 Hedgerows were reduced, spawns still quite far away. Didn't help numbers much though. Now you can drive & seek for 20 mins without  before getting bombed


And yes, I'd like to see 2.0 back.

"The old MA" or "The New MA"

the only thing I dislike in the new MA is the arena cap

"The old old TT" or "The old TT" or "The New TT"

Not enough involvement in TT to really care for any of the three

"The Old scoring system" or "The new scoring system"

I only use the scores for personal statistics monitoring and the new works the same as the old system for that purpose.


"The old ord graphics" or "The New ord graphics (this being rkts, bombs, and DTs)

New graphics are better.  It would be nice if bomb craters had physical properties but that would just be another thing that would be listed under porking of bases.

"The old P-38G" (600lbs lighter) or "The new P-38G" (600lbs heavier)

Im a J fan so G changes had no effect.  (Forward vision is a major hinderance to me in the G)

"The old maps" or "The new maps"

Old maps.  The new ones without water make me jump arena's

I liked the old MA when it was one big arena that everyone played in together.

"The old old TT" or "The old TT" or "The New TT"[/B]

None of the above.  I liked it best before they put a town in the middle.

"The Old scoring system" or "The new scoring system"[/B]

I assume you mean the split tours.  Still undecided.

"The old ord graphics" or "The New ord graphics (this being rkts, bombs, and DTs)[/B]

Doesn't matter to me.  Both were/are fine.

"The old P-38G" (600lbs lighter) or "The new P-38G" (600lbs heavier)[/B]

Hsven't flown it in a while.  I guess I didn't know it changed.

"The old maps" or "The new maps"[/B]

In order, the big maps, the new maps, the old maps.

[Mr No Name]

Old MA was best... Otherwise I like most of the other changes.  Arena cap MA is dull most of the time.

"The old MA" or "The New MA"
old MA seemed busy even off peak
"The old old TT" or "The old TT" or "The New TT"
None of the above.  Pre town distant spawns
"The Old scoring system" or "The new scoring system"
Neither matters to me so long as I can be El Capitain
"The old ord graphics" or "The New ord graphics (this being rkts, bombs,
and DTs)
new is good especially hanger layout
"The old P-38G" (600lbs lighter) or "The new P-38G" (600lbs heavier)
if it was wrong it's better to have it right
"The old maps" or "The new maps"
older larger single MA terrains



HTC has kept me entertained but my ideal game even with split arena would go like this.

CV's to have another cruiser at the rear (remember those) or 4 more escorts 2 either side of the fleet.
CV sinking is far to easy with suiciding the normal practise these days
Ports to have acks on piers again with present safe landing criteria and 1 tunnel. (remember those)
Ports need a little extra
TT with no town.  Present spawns and a few tunnels (remember those)
bringing back the open gv fight
V Bases as is.
I think gv bases are spot on when it comes to game play
Bases to have less fuels with the exception of small fields and porkable to 25% after the refinery has been bombed.
In hope of getting the fight back in the air again.  Some players may get the incentive of upping from another base or defence of strat
Strat to have longer damage effect (regain time on fields) without manual supply.
In hope of getting the fight in the air again.  Put some meaning into Strat
HQ to be weaker and or damagable like AH1.
In hope of making HQ runs worth while attacking and defending

[Mr No Name]

Lynx, here is a snip from an old wishlist post I had about CVs:

a single pilot should not be able to put a CV group out of commission like they can now. YES I know in real life that if a formation of lancs bombed a CV, it would surely sink. This is a GAME, hence there should be 2 or 3 CVs, 4 cruisers, 12 destroyers. If you had 3 cvs the take-off points would work like the runway system and could be labeled "Enterprise" "Hornet" "Yorktown" ETC. ETC. This means a greater team effort will have to be made to shut it down just like a regular airfield. Even with these improvements it is a soft target.

The CV should also require "deep water" areas no closer than say...5 to 8 miles?... no parking the group 1K offshore. The purpose of this isn't to make it a "Battle of Midway" game as someone suggested earlier but to simply prevent 1 player from shutting it down with 1 run. To balance this out and make wise use of the carrier group more important, after a carrier group is sunk, increase the time it is out of action to 30 minutes or even an hour. I would like to see the fleet be a more important component of AIR COMBAT in the game. Greater Striking power for the fleet, and a greater importance to coordinate attacks on a battle group...

I like the looks of the upgraded maps, however the play ability in regards to GV's kinda sucks.

We used to be able to hide from planes in the trees, and the only way a plane could kill you at that point was with a bomb. Anymore it's fairly useless to work your self into a good camp spot with a GV and battle it out with other GV's.

Now days a B25H or some dweeb with a bomb will surely kill you within 10 mins of sitting still. I've mostly given up tanks other than base defense and the occasional sortie. For GV's now I stick mostly with Ostie's.

It wouldn't be so bad if you could get someplace to hide like we used to get with the old billboard trees.

I'm not sure what can be done about TT. The newer trees just don't provide enough cover from other GV's to make the spawns any closer. When they first changed to the new trees, the spawn camping was horrid.

If you don't remember how bad it was here is a crappy vid I made, that's still on youtube..

In regards to the MA's.. anymore I haven't had much fun flying in them. There is pretty much zero respect for allowing a 1 on 1 fight to run it's course. It's always one hoard vs the other and almost always at least 3 cons chasing one plane.

People are too worried about their kill:death ratios and how many kills they can land vs actual fun dog fights. If you go out on your own looking for a good fight, you almost always get jumped by 5 guys.  Unless you fly like a wuss at 20k and do nothing but BnZ..

Yesterday, I flew in MW and had a lot more fun flying there than what I've had flying LW lately. MW seems to have it's draw backs though, lots of milk runners, but there are some good fights to be had. Because of the smaller player base you don't get gang banged as much either, so maybe I'll play there more often.
