Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Another thing I said at the con was that we had a number of things for various projects that have been sitting in our virtual garage collecting dust.

Bring more World War II aircraft and do more with the present game, by adding new different tanks, carrier, battleships and destroyers task groups, landing craft, and u-boats. Add some dirt runway airfields. Have a English, Germany and Japanese Navy task group also.

Just have a battleship and destroyer task groups.

Turn the edge and get some good additions and do more of a combat simulator.

Stop the hangers popping up after 6 minutes. This is making the game act like an arcade game.

Having read Pyro's post I just can't help wondering why all the additional posts???

Maybe because like me, many folks are looking for a good WWI online game like DoA was before IEN wrecked it?

I know for a fact that there are alot of WWI grogs out there that want a good WWI game and think they would come here for it IF HTC decides to go that route (sounds like they are just looking for some base input tho)

I am in favor of the WWII camp.  Bring on more WWII planes and how about the addition of submarine warfare?  Also what about the addition of gliders with troops?  You could release the gliders out of range of the gv's and attempt to land troops.

I would LOVE WW1 birds, provided going that route didnt put the ww2 (current game) on the shelf..   which Im guessing is probably what would happen.

the current game is getting a bit.. very.. tired for me, my schedule is too spastic to reliably make any events so im pretty much stuck in the MA grind...  some old school.. im mean really old school dogfighting would be a real shot in the arm..

and insted of the RV8 hitech could add the wright flyer.

Wow! Airplanes that go 100 mph ,climb 800 fpm, and shoot two deer rifles at a time?

I can just hear the EWA hordes running to the WW-1 arena.

Actually, I believe the slowness could add to the intensity.  What is done at 200 yards with the WWII set would be done at 50 with WWI planes.

Also, comparing EW and, not so sure. EW ACM is not qualitatively different than LW ACM. Same thing with planes that top out ~50mph slower and a limited plane set. Actually, for all intents and purposes it is the same thing except with mostly HurricaneIIcs. Combat in planes that top out not too far above where WWII planes stall though...that will be qualitatively different. The fact that your computer monitor (not your gunsight, not your windscreen, your *monitor*) is half-filled with whatever you are killing is quite visceral.
