Hi Nick172,

i flown 6 Years Warbirds, from 2001 to 2007! AH2 is in every aspect better!
Personaly as an official WB Trainer, i was real deep integrated inside the WB scene. When i was realy frustrated at mid 2007, because of lack of Development for more than a year, and much more other Stuff, low Playernumbers, like mass Discos and so on, i decide to make a chart to find out what to do.
I wrote down 30 single keyfeatures, splitted them into 6 Categorys.
At the End my personal Voting goes with 5:1 for AH2
There is a big movement of whole Squadrons like us Parrots with 28 Players over to AH2. Maybe that can be an Answers itself  ;)

Same Scenario for me I played Fighter Ace for 5 years and came to a similar conclusion as Dhyran nearly 3 years ago now.

I will say I did try AH1 for a week and thought it sucked but things change.  They have most certainly changed for the better whilst others have stood still.

There is still room for improvement though and I hope HTC doesnt rest easy ;)

I used to fly WB's, but was fed up with lack of development, problems with the damage model (Elevator is one piece and always seems to fall of, it falls off, it FALLS THE "F" OFF!!!!), and lack of strategy concept.

AH is superior in just about every aspect, although the skins in WB's are a bit more crisp. However you don't notice a difference because of a little thing called "minrender".

The ONLY other thing WB's really offers, is a platform for Mac users to fly on.

If you're looking for a flight sim, AHII is the one to go with in my opinion. It's updated, and maintained, and has a LOT more players.

It's good to see the warbirds guys starting to show up.  I've seen alot of new faces in all the events, and I personally think we have that area locked up tenfold over any one else :)

But hey, I may be a bit biased in that area :D

I am interested in what your conclusions are dhyran... could you expand on your post with specifics?

Thanks in advance
