Well, I'll resubscribe when the WWI arena comes online... Thats $15 bucks in HT's pocket that wouldn't be there before... Simply because this will be something NEW, instead of the same'o same'o....
There are many other WWI era enthusiasts out there that will come as well... Because HT has the best flight modeling in the biz...   

Just hoping they go "lean" on the built in gamey stuff, and make it as DIFFICULT to master, as WWI planes were...
So it won't be boring after a month...

Remember, these fighters are also being used to test out the new damage modeling.  That isn't nothing.

I am not sure if the damage modeling could be applied piecemeal to the large WWII planeset very well.

The fact remains.... every single person that has come to AH to this point has done so for the WWII era.



Really?  Nobody ever joined AH just for the fun of it?  Amazing!

YES! I took a break from AH for a while, but now I have the motivation I needed to come back. Thanks HTC!  :x

Well if HTC decides to add Monopoly it will probably have the best flight model out there. BTW I call dibs on the plane!

Your idea of rational is a bit suspect.

The game is all about WWII fighters. The other things to do have been added since. All WWII era..

Now by your way of thinking.... why don't they add an arena for online Monopoly.

Hmmmm guess you haven't found the bombers in the game.

HTC will add what they think will bring them subscribers. If it's Monopoly I'm sure you can understand the rules of the game.

Oh yeah, look up Bruce Carr. Interesting fellow I got to meet in Orlando in 98. He was flying a P-51 "fighter" on a ground attack mission and was shot down. He returned to his airfield in a FW-190. He was also a triple ace.


Guess we need to add in escape and evasion if you're shot down?

Hmmm making it artifically hard is gamey too, I vote for just a true FM easy or hard depending on the physics of the plane design  :old:

Now that right there is very funny. I'd be willing to bet that even Shuffler himself had to
chuckle at that. ;)

The dawn of aviation, the dawn of air combat. The first aces. I find it unbelievable that with the huge *gap* in the market that exists for WWI air combat there are naysayers. Fortunately, if the survey indicates anything, the nabobs of negativity are outnumbered 3-1.

I have "First Eagles" by Thirdwire. Even though the view system SUCKS in comparison to the standard set by AHII, the graphics and sound are dated,the plane set is limited the modeling is iffy, and there is no online play, it is still fun. I can only imagine how great it can be when HTC develops the same subject.
