Planes looks better if you have a highend computer
Dont agree, especially where the bombers are concerned. Much more detail here, and much much more damage detail.
shock waves of bombs + smoke + fires nice looking
Agree on this one.
AI otto and 6-calls - formation flying with buffs
Otto in Wb's is basically useless, unles your flying in an event arena where its tweaked. Just the same I (and most all I fly with) will gladly take the trade off of gunning from a solidly mounted 50 cal (not the "mounted on rubber bands" feeling WB's has) with the ai's guns slaved over the OTTO
Any day. Wish we could adjust the formations here like WB's though.
As far as the bomber game goes AH wins ..miles ahead and hands down. The FM's don't all feel like your flying a sheet of plywood like WB's. Theres no "hoverbombing" like WB's or any bombing from the site in the climb with pinpoint accuracy here either. The bombsite requires you to not only calibrate for speed and altitude, it also requires you to maintain a 0 ROC throughout the bomb run like WB's, or your drop will be off. The bombers take multiples of different dammage here as well. Not the *plink *plink* model falls apart in 5 pieces like we were used to.
Overall the name of the game is ballance. Can actual effects be produced realistically in an MMO flight sim?Probably not. That being said, there has to be a concerted effort to bring ballance into the mix. A simple explanation from a historical hi alt bomber perspective is that all the pieces here fit. Generally were escorted by 51's or 47's with DT's on long missions.
Because the game is designed in such a manner that they are generally the only aircraft that have the legs for it...like it was in RL. The best interceptor aircraft are any of the heavy cannon armed LW rides.
Because the game is designed in a manner that they are the best tool for the job since
the cannons here actually work They haven't been nerfed (and coincidently LW squads here are thriving). Any allied AC like 51's or 47's trying to intercept dont quite have the firepower to bring down a bomber (in both cases) and will only take a couple hits to the engine and are out (51's case).
Theres been obvious thought put into the balance of things here. And it doesn't matter what profile you fly , Hi alt run, med alt run, noe attack, jabo ect ect...all the pieces fit and make sense.And then theres regular development on top of all that.
I guess thats why were here.
