Not saying i don't admire the work that goes into it... but I couldn't give a damn about eye candy, those who are long time subscribers i suspect are mostly in agreement.  Those too busy looking at the pretty landscape or shadows instead of what is on their 6 will just make it easier for us to shoot them down ;)  :aok

So Furball, you'd be happy with flying just red and blue triangles over a flat green ground?

I still occasionally play the original red baron from around 1990, as long as i can make out aircraft types, i am pretty content.

I would say that you're very much part of a minority then, even among AH veterans. ;)

I agree with Furball, which now outnumbers DieHard 2:1.  I couldn't care any less about "graphics."  As long as I am able to play the game and be able to identify the things I need to then I am a happy camper  :aok

I'm all about gameplay, but I welcome more eye candy with open arms.

New lighting looks sweet! :aok
With the new terrain and lighting system I don't think it will be possible to complain about AH's graphics anymore.

The airplane externals have always been about as good as "Il2" IF you crank them all the way up, and all the newer cockpits are also extremely good, without going so "realistic" as to make the instruments unreadable at normal zooms.

The newer AH2 aircraft are far better than anything I've ever gotten out of IL-2.

HiTech,

Now's the best time to introduce a Tempest variant with 150 grade fuel.  :D ducks

And also with the 200 rounds per gun its supposed to have.


Early Tempest's Mk. V (Serie I) and the Tempest Mk. II prototypes had the 20 mm Mk. II Hispano cannons (identical to those fitted in Typhoon). The barrels extended 8 inches beyond the wing leading edge and they were mounted with short barrell fairings.
Tempest Mk. V Serie II's, production Mk. IIs and Mk. VIs were fitted with the new short-barrelled Hispano Mk. V cannons which were completely enclosed. (They were 10 in. shorter and 25 lbs lighter than Mk. II.)
Mk. V and VI had 200 rounds per gun, but Mk. II 162 inboard and 152 outboard
