WW1 or Vietnam?
« on: January 25, 2009, 01:19:42 AM »
Hey guys


had this idea going when i saw the questionaire for WW1 in AH. i clicked absolutley not. Personally, i think its more likely, and would be way more fun then WW1, to have a Vietnam Era game. F-4s, P-51's, MiG's. iunno, to me it seems like a much better idea then WW1 arena. so vote now!! WW1....or Vietnam!?

Missile fights at Mach 1? I'll pass.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Early war Korea is more likely than Vietnam IMO.

However, considering the WWI saw the death of Chivalry in the air, that it would be much easier to balance gameplay on older, lower slower planes than on higher faster ones. I'm guessing that you won't see Vietnam sim online anytime soon.

I'd rather HTC focus completely on the great WWII sim they have going than anything else, but...

I wouldn't mind a WWI version, I'd probably enjoy it occasionally when I got bored;
I'd rather not see a Korean War version, jet vs. jet just really isn't my thing;
Vietnam, with air to air missiles and all of that crap? No way!

Rear quarter missile fights are more interesting than you'd think, really interesting when its a RQ missile equipped combatant vrs. a guns only combatant....

Anyway though, I agree that WWI is vastly more practical for HTC to have a go at. We're already a prop-driven guns combat sim, so they wouldn't really have to add or change anything, just add the planes. And WWI seems under served to me while the jet world is not.

Hey guys and girls!


I had this idea when i saw the questionnaire for WW1 in AH. i clicked absolutely not. Personally, i think its more likely, and would be way more exciting then WW1, to have a Korea era game. Mig-15's, Sabers, etc., to me it seems like a much better idea then WW1 arena. Post your opinions on whether it should be WW1....or Korea.

If I had a choice, I'd choose Vietnam only for the choppers. But, since HTC is offering, I will say WWI.

Too bad "been" doesn't belong to "it", or else you would be right.

To have a proper sentence, you must have a subject.
