The best update
« on: June 29, 2013, 04:08:13 PM »
I think it was the i-16/Brewster update. Not only was there a graphics improvement but also many epic fights between i-16s and Brewsters as everyone was trying them out. I do believe that was when PT boats were added as well.

You most probably mean "redone", PT boats had been in game since tour 12 ;)

Edit: PT boat was updated with version 2.15, September 09. Brewster and I-16 were introduced 2 months earlier.

Yeah, probably. I guess I never used one before the update. Still the i-16 and Brewster was fun.

I remember that update had a seperate public Beta Arena before finally went live, featuring the Ndisles terrain. There was quite some I-16/B-239 furballin' on it.  :airplane:

v2.00.  Added the B-24J, Ki-84-Ia and T-34/76, significantly improved graphics, more detailed flight models and the hit box of the units was now exactly the same size and shape as the 3D model meaning no more fat wings/stabilizes than turned near misses into hits.


I have a certain fondness for v1.08 when the Mossie was added as well.

He's correct Ten60, that update did have a beta arena proceeding it.

I remember the beta, that was actually good fun.  HTCs team checked in regularly, that's really my brand loyalty started.

I honestly would like Aces to continue with the Beta, that was actually nice to see - rather then just thrown in as an update and let people find the bugs while flying vs having a Beta released so people can experience them and report them.

Also gave us a peak at what is being added for example.
