Strat redesign would be a good place to start........................ ..


was helping rooks sneak a base next to enemy starts yesterday off of a CV. Thought to myself, "woot going to get some major strat milking in". Then was reminded that when we take base, strats move to the rear.

ok and the strats were redone to one big one as they had been requested for years.  now everybody wants them to go back to the original zone strats.

No strat redesign necessary for that. Just disable the evacuation routine, which has a negative impact on gameplay. Instead of creation hot spots that are viciously being fought over, you have 'cold places' that neither the attacker really wants to capture, nor the defender wants to defend or recapture.

You didn't play AH1 then? It was like night and day difference.

I played ah2 on a gateway 420 dual core with a 8400 gs vc.  when the new version came out, I also upgraded my computer, I played both with a new computer that was way better than the gateway.  play both versions with it, they were like night and day.

Perhaps if someone has some screen shots from AH1 I think you'll see what I mean.

I started somewhere around tour 74 or 76. I believe it was just a couple months before AH2 came out. It was several months after the flying PT boat con whenever that was. I do remember the RVs with guns from hell con.....wasn't that during AH1?

AH2 came out long time before that, in 2004. The effective switchover was around tour 53.

Yup Summer of '04 if I remember correctly.

oh okay, I always thought the massive graphic overhaul we had with the bases being redesigned and all was when AH2 began. My bad.

With the amount of meltdown going on in the WT forums now would be a good time for it.   All the "simmer"  types say they're waiting for Il2 Stalingrad to come out.

I was reading that too, wow. I see Karaya has found himself a new home. 

[SirNuke]

hey we've had the staged missions of the tour of duty  but no real way to play them

With all the meltdown in the ah forums now might be a good time for it...wait 'meltdown' might not be accurate more like 'same ol' same ol'
