the fokker had 2 .30cal mini guns, they were like lasers when you fired them. 48 rockets and roto. im not sure if that shouldve been rato, but hey, what do i know. anyway you could accellerate out of trouble with the roto, i pointed the plane straight up and fired them, it was awesome. had 60 seconds worth at your disposal.

was a fun night, thanks HTC!

A biplane arena?

That will just turn into Spad v Spad and Fokker v Fokker.

oh joy.


Heh.  Good thing we'll still have the WWII arenas where we don't have to worry about seeing only Spits, P-51s and La7s tussling with each other.

How did it perform?  Speed, climb, turning, firepower, etc. ?

Last night. To answer your question in a word...


Yes

WW1 is for the birds.


Especially with AH's current damage system.

If it means we no longer have to suffer through "titanic tuesdays" then maybe it would be a decent trade-off, but there are SO MANY things that need work in AH2 (ESPECIALLY all the ancient 1999-era graphics on half the planes!!!!) that I really REALLY don't want to see them working on an entirely different war while WW2 squanders.

If we get the WW1 arena, it's going to MAKE people fight, insted of the other wonderful things.

The one thing Im surprised we havent seen yet is a bunch of these flying around.



But I figure that would lead to all sorts of copyright problems. So I guess its not so surprising after all.
Would be funny as hell though

I remember trying the beta of Dawn of Aces just after iMOL bought out HT and Pyro.  The arena was filled with F1 camels, with everything else being fodder for it.

Hopefully they don't spend too much time on it.  Whilst having a few basic WWI models will be great to dogfight in, I doubt you will see mass numbers flying in a WWI arena after the novelty wears off.

AH still has plenty of WW2 planes to be added and I would hate to see development get distracted again a la CT.  USP and all that.

Good points Bruv119.... I think if they could set up a DA with lets say a Nieuport 24, Spad VII, and Sopwith Camel verses a Albatros D.Va, Fokker Dr. I and a Fokker D. VII.... would be a lot of fun and hopefully not take up too many resources.

From what was said in QnA on Friday there will be a WWI arena starting with 4 planes. It's going to be furball only with fields 5mi. from each other.

This is why I wish someone would record those sessions...

I wonder if that's the Fokker model they used for the Red Baron Pizza promotion they did awhile back.


ack-ack
I'm not sure how long ago that was, but looking at the quality of the cockpit, even though it's obviously unfinished and looks weird because I took it with the film viewer, it's definitely more reminiscent of HTC's recent 3D work rather than what they did 5-6 years ago. Especially the Spandaus.
And it definitely looks like it came from HTC, they just have a certain 'style'...

It was recorded by Pollock. Since he's riding with TD back to Atlanta it will probably be a few days atleast before he gets it up.

Wow with an unfinished WWII set? Just WOW. Total surprise at that decision.
