Hi-Tech questions
« on: November 29, 2007, 05:36:33 PM »
Even though i liked Titanic Tuesday, as a one of Hi-Tech's customers i often feel a little let down when other things have been left untouched and have been needing attention for a little while. I have a few questions that a few other folks might want to know.

Titanic Tuesday was great, The new graphics that were added awhile back are wonderful, The B-25, etc, but sometimes i feel as if they have passed by a few things that have needed addressing for awhile in the game. Here's just a few things that i wish Aces High would have spent a little time on instead.

1. Please update the graphics on a few of the planes that have been needing it for awhile. Like the F-4u C moldel and the Ta-152 for example. Everytime i see a new change i wonder why a bit of time wasn't spent on those things.

2. Please look into a few of the flight dynamics issues with a few planes that need a little tidying up. The Hellcat for instance and the Mustangs turn performance. Widewing to me is a trusted source and he has brought up what i think are some pertanent issues on the Hellcat for instance as of late. (Btw great job on the Mossy, very enjoyable.)

3. Please update us on the combat tour and if it's not ready please don't mention anything else about it. Untill real steps are being made to release it. Sometimes i feel like i'm being played with by Hi-Tech and i don't as well as a few other customers i believe don't appreciate it. (Axl Rose - Chinese Democracy, Hi-Tech - Combat Tour).

4. I personally would like to see weather implemented back into the game. Maybe a little rain, Thunderstorms, Heavy Cloud Formations. I understand this game had it at one time and i don't know why it was taken away. Though i'm all ears to listen. Please forgive me as i'm sure it's been explained before.

Also as a few personal aside, i've always felt the B-29 would be an interesting addition and i feel it could be worked out. I know folks worry about the effect on game play. But if perked in a similiar way to the Me-262 i feel it wouldn't be to far of a stretch and could be worked out. Maybe the B-29 could be worth 200 - 500 perks and the use of the Nuclear weopon could be perked seperately for a fairly high ammount. That way it wouldn't be out of the question to fly the bomber it self. But the use of the nuclear bomb would be a very added bonus for flying the B-29 itself and gathering points. But that's just me.

I also feel a Korean war version of this game somewhere down the line would push this game into uncharted territory and it would become all the more popular. I can see the subscriber base tripling or quadrupling at the very release of such a thing.


As an honest open post in this forum i feel these are fair open questions to be asked of a business from one of it's customers.

Everything else is fine, you guys do a fine job and have what i believe to be the worlds penultimate multi-player simulator. But i feel those things, especially the first four could be looked into and as a customer i would feel very happy about it.


Keep up the wonderful work.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but please no nukes.

Also, what do you mean by saying that Aces High 2 is the world's second to last multi player simulator? What is the last? Or did you simply mean ultimate (different words)

We never had rain or thunderstorms, but they would be nice. :)

Did i see that? I meant to say it's the best. I love this game and i make these suggestions because i'd like to see them climb to even higher plateaus in their market and fan base.

As for the Nukes, my suggestion is to Perk the B-29 and the nukes seperately. That way you could just fly the B-29 itself without really factoring in the perk cost of the nukes. The B-29 could be worth say, anywhere from 175 to 500 perk points, possibly the latter. Now by flying the B-29 over mission after mission you could amass seperate points that could be used for just the bomb. After that you could have the option of buying the bomb. Here's the clincher after you amassed the number of points for it's use, there would be a time stipulation that you not use the bomb for another 3 - 6 months on your account. now during that time you could still be amasing points to use it, and then the same time restriction could be used again etc, etc. That way it would not be over used. And although people would be using it at different times, the time required to amass that amount of points, plus the time penalty afterward could control it's use. Just a thought

Nukes? Are you serious? What about the sheep? Think of how many nuclear bombs would be dropped on a given day of playing. Other than that I think your ideas aren't too bad.

Oh and taking into account people with older machines, because we want everybody to have fun. :cool:  There could be seperate areas, or sectors on the map that would be designated to different weather types. I.e. Cloudy, Fog, Rain, Snow, Windy, Night. However most of the maps would be as they are now and people who have older machines could fly, and people who would like to fly in the other sectors could as wished.

The only part of your thread I disagree with is the nukes part.  That really would serve no useful purpose for gameplay.

The rest I tend to agree with for the most part.

A WWI version would be superior to the Korean War Era.     Just think on how little "running" would be taking place.

"....Combat Tour is currently in closed testing and release is planned for the first half of 2006....."

Id rather it take 5 years and be fully completed rather then they rush it and not take there time on it. As far as I am concerned I don't care if it takes another year or two to complete its sure to be worth it.

What i do miss is when hitech/pyro/skuzzyused to arrive in the arena to chat and answer questions in blue text.  Not sure it would really be feasible with the massive numbers we have nowadays

Sudz came into the da so i challenged him to a c47 fight he accepted then threatened to hit me with his uber mod death ray satelite, laughed and left before he owned me too much.

was a great day. i wish they would come and join in the da once in a while, see how long the 163s last after picking on that fight.
