Modern?
« on: November 05, 2008, 06:20:58 PM »
Well, as do I always, I was first off pondering if a AHIII Was comming.  If so, could it be modern warfare. F-16's and Raptors in place of Jugs and ponys, Abrams in place of Shermans, the whole 9 yards.  This would ROCK!!!!! :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock :rock :) <S> you guys, and pls consider!!!!!! :salute

there are several things wrong with that

dogfighting is fun but shooting a missle at an opponent 100 miles away not even in sight is terribly boring

plus an air to air  gun kill hasn't been made since vietnam and only 1 of them happened anyway

not much of a point

plus there are usually just a few kinds of each fighter so it is boring

we should add more tanks,planes,etc to aces highII before we even consider this

If BF2 has taught me anything it's that if you give a hardcore video gamer and plane with missiles, they'll use every missile to kill one guy and call them a noob.  :lol

I would like to see the Korean War done more than Modern Warfare. WW1 would be even better!  :)

Are you kidding me? I would be so happy to shoot 4 missles, forget about it, and just watch the kills rack up!

But i dont support this idea, it would take too long and just waiting for it would kill me.

I think this is an accurate model of what we'd see :)

Actually your wrong alot of the pilots in the air war in 1990 and 1991 got gun kils with F-15s F-14s F-16s F-18s and even the tornado got a few gun kills in desert shield and desert storm.

 :confused:  no F16 or Tornado air kills at all. only gun kills were by A10s on choppers.

edit: http://128.121.102.226/aakill.html#Dingee-McKenzie i'm intrigued by the EF-111A kill - did he fry the Mirages electronics?

Israeli pilots give more credence to a pilot that has one gun kill than they do to a pilot that has several missile kills.  Takes more skill.

Rather than modern - how about a fantasy 1946 arena? Maybe HTC could charge a little extra for it too.
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.
