game dynamic changed

[minke]

Did you have the same concern when the Wirbel was introduced in tour 98 and did instantly had a massive impact on gameplay? (A much greater change than the one than we have now with a simple reduction of turret rotation speed, while firepower stays the same)

for me wirb added to the game wether you were in one or fighting one, historical accuracy in this game is hit or miss at best (outside of the flight model) so slowing turret speed in my opinion was for gaming reasons

[Plazus]

HTC should take out the GVs and fill the slots with the rest of the P-38 variants.

Lol. Yeap, that or some other planes that AH2 is lacking.

Go fill your bathtub...get completely undressed...then sit in the water and look down...there's your submarine.

     If you think THAT was for gaming reasons, I can't wait to hear you squeal
when they actually make the crews reload

Thank goodness I don't rely on ground vehicles to make a flight sim fun...

I love this argument.  Never have seen where this game was called by the creators as a Flight Simulator.  I always have heard it called a game of WWII Combat Experience.

From AHWiki

Aces High II is a massive multi-player online combat simulation centered around the World War II air-war.

The GVs are a wart on an otherwise great flight sim. They pretty much serve the same purpose as power chairs at a Wal-Mart. They're in the way and most people using them don't need them they're just too lazy not to.

Went and looked at AHWiki to check it out.  If I'm reading correctly the page where you pulled the quote from was created by a player not a staff member of HTC.  I think I'll stay with the front page since I know that it is coming directly from HTC.   

As for the GV's being a "wart" to the game, I find them kind of fun when I get bored of flying.  My preference is flying, but at times I get bored and GVing is a way to break it up a bit.

Have no idea what you are talking about concerning the "power chairs".

I tried that but all I had was a Japanese mini sub like they sent into Pearl Harbor.  I want a Gato class sub so I can be uber!

well,had a bit of fun blowing up gv's with my jug, seen a lot more than 2 or 3 defending v bases now. Looks like ordinance is the new king of AH (puts wirbel and ostie back in the box)

If you haven't seen the people that use the store provided powerchairs at a Wal-Mart  you don't want to know believe me.  
Rarely do see somebody who is handicapped using one it's usually some person 25-45 years of age weighing about 300 lbs too lazy to walk.
