Does anyone have any clue who GScholz actually is in game? Or does he not play anymore  :headscratch:

When I play AH my handle is GScholz. I have previously also played as Viking and Madman and JB-something I can't remember, it was 10 years ago. Right now I'm not playing AH. It just looks too dated for me.

True you would think he was the way he was able to compare it to war thunder, so you last played in tour 50 nine years ago? And your trying to have a sensible debate about a game released last year and the one you remember from 10 years ago??  :rofl

gScholz what is your id in war thunder? How much of a role do you have in the development of full realism in the game?  :)

It's been a while since i played WT last, but i think I'm GS over there too. I'm not too fond of beta testing. I'm currently busy playing Il2 Clod with team fusion mods.

I never did get an answer as to how the FM/ACM feels in WT versus AHII (which has had more than one member recount experiences such as: http://www.incredible-adventures.com/air-combat.html where their instructor asked them if they had done this kind of thing before and the answer was 'only playing Aces High').

I believe you did. It's more like Il2, than AH. To be specific: At speed it is very similar, but at low speed the planes are more "mushy", sluggish on the controls and with more inertia in the movements of the aircraft.

What gives you reason to believe that the AH "feel" is the right one? WT feels different from AH, more like IL2, and I've always felt that IL2 got the "feel" better than AH. AH feels like the planes are on rails rather than surfing on a wave of air pressure.


Btw. your comment on the Air Combat USA rides would be valid if we were simulating Italian light trainers armed with lasers (they weigh 600kg empty), rather than 4+ ton WWII fighters with high wing loading.

Il2 Clod with team fusion is very good. More difficult than AH though with complex engine management and no icons.

WTF has the gaming industry come to if they think warcrap is a simulation. These people probably voted for Obama to.

Is it just me or does CloD's planes feel extremely sluggish compared to AH? I have TeamFusion mod installed too and I like the game but every plane seems so slow and heavy.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Yeah, there seems to be a lack of sense of speed in CloD.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
