I'm a bit of a stick in the mud. I can't say I'm excited at all. I think you may end up with very small player bases in many arenas. Look at early war arena. I saw 5 guys in there the other day while late war had over 300 hundred.

Could be.  But the folks in the lower-population arenas will presumably be happy enough, and the MAs won't suffer the loss of such few numbers.

The only possible loss is timely updates.

After experiencing the travesty that is Rise of Flight, I have high hopes for HTC's WW1 arena.  I look forward to it and hope that it catches on...

Jokes apart, lets see how HTC will model the Camel. The real proof of how good is the FM ....

I have no question on modeling. If HT is going to do it, I have faith in the accuracy. My issue is elsewhere.

While I might check it out, it is not what I am here for.

Whats gonna be interesting is to see how WWI works in a large (population wise not combat area) arena game.

My view on WWI planes is that they are much less forgiving then WWII planes. This should mean that WWI is quite dweeb unfriendly. Which in turn should mean that it will be hard to generate a large population.

Hmmmm conservative estimates put RoF at 40,000 copies, if we get 10% of the RoF guys who are disappointed (like me) then population will be the least of our worries, and the guys that bought RoF have no "puter" problems to deal with in AHII.

I haven't been keeping track of it since the RoF forums turned into the Fanboy club of love, but how many people are still upset about the state of the game.

Alot but as you say the SimHQ forms have been beating down anyone who complains, they are supposed to put out a patch this week but time will tell if it fixs anything.

They will also release the Camel and DRI for sale  ;)

Every game has fanboys, they are sad people.
