Bah... I never liked the AI flown planes in WB... Always sucked that they could turn more tightly and shoot much better than any real player.

I'll pass.


I wonder if they noticed that HTC has given up on "Combat Tour" for now, and they stepped in with one of their own? See a niche, fill a niche?

LOL...funny that they're using a distributor known for only working with low-budget titles.  Fitting match for Wild Bill.

i played warbirds like a year ago.

The game is alright. But you will notice this if you go to it.

going from AH to WB's is like going from a T body to a Lambo. 

The game moves that fast.

Do they still count the AI drones in that number like they used to?  If so, that 56 could really be 20 or so real players.  :devil

Either way, another short sighted money grab by mild dill.

Actually, the numbers are getting smaller than you think...that 56 in the main arena is about the max for any time these days. If this "new thing" Wild Bill is trying to market has the same flight models and weapons Warbirds has right now...don't waste your time even reading the label.

Unless they got an outside programmer to do it, the only other person who was supposedly doing any of the programming (and still learning) for Warbirds just quit...and there is still a "hanging promise" of a much needed update that is supposed to fix the super uber F4U-4 they tweaked earlier this year as well as some slight mention of other fixes.

I will not even look at the "Competitor".   HTC will get my money.
