 :headscratch:

I have quite a number of friends who tried that game and still think AHII is the better
option. I also have quite a few AH friends that are starting family vacations for the summer.
They will fly more at the end of them.  :)

Factors. Scientific method. Neither one of us have all the tools and data for such.  :cool:

I have to admit that I'm not sure if you haven't really read my statements, or are just trying to twist stuff in a troll attempt. (If so, it was obviously sucessfull already ;) )

The only thing keeping AH from making big $$$ again is the two following things:

1. Graphics. I hate to say it, but the newer generation NEED eye candy....it helps with their low attention spans.

2. Advertising. People don't pay for what they do not know about.

I know HTC has been overhauling the looks, but I fear it may not be up to the standards of the modern gamer....no matter how excellent the game-play is. I know I try to get all of my IRL friends and clan-mates to try it out. I wish I could play again, but my gaming PC died about 8 months ago and I simply can't afford a new one ATM. :(
Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

Maybe, maybe not.  Look at iracing, while their graphics are OK (compared to the console games), they still tend to draw in large numbers of players.  Now the advertising part I agree with, every time I meet someone new that has an interest in WWII and PCs, I suggest and write down the website for AH.  Maybe HTC needs to have commercials after those WoT commercials on the Military channel, or on Tuesday nights during deadliest catch.

Mmmmok. I would fill the gap between 2003 and 2007 with more commercials, if I had a way back machine.  :D

Tried WT. Graphics - nice. View system - deal breaker. Can't be bothered with it.
