Not sure why there was so much whining about the water.  These things do have altimeters.  Like the little building at the end of the runway, it just added a new challenge.  I must say though I barely got over the building with a Deuce.

I did like the reflections.  Other than the neat inland waters that are now kind of trashy, I have no problem with this change albeit it was just fine the way they were.

Credit should be given to HTC for listening to what so many players saw as a problem instead of a challenge.



I would also wager that a lot of the ones that wanted the change will still hit the water.

I don't like the new water

That's akin to not liking pie.

Definitely a big improvement. Doing nose down turns 1K over the water to avoid getting shot was risky business. Glad there is some judgement now.

I personally feel like it's the horizon thats messing everyone up...not the depth perception of the water...but I don't base my alt off of what the ground looks like I use the horizon as my  point of reference and my instruments for exact numbers

EDIT....The horizon isn't very clear depending on what terrain you are flying over....a mix of land and water really messes up the render of it.

I could be wrong but is there some kind of gadget in front of you, on every plane, that tells you your alt?

That still doesn't help very much when you are looking behind you trying to judge your opponent and the water during a nose down turn close to the deck.

It is call multi-tasking.

Yeah, no that helps. The new water looks a lot better. I lose perception at about 12K now. I use the terrain to my advantage by cutting it real close sometimes. A lot of times it's hard to look at the altimeter or the top Hud, while looking back, and trying to do scissor maneuvers at the same time to avoid getting shot. I've had a couple enemies completely miss judge their shot in the nose down turn and slam right into the water trying to shoot me lol. It pops up quickly.
