This Game Dies Because

[Vraciu]

Sports events are every week. Air shows are a lot more rare. Hence, more spectators at an air show. Run them weekly and everyone is going to lose interest.

That doesn't change the fact of its popularity.

Not all sporting event are weekly. 

Most sporting events are seasonal.

Air shows are still a major draw.

I'm just curious, like which ones?

Being new and trying to get a plane off the ground in WW2 online is a real chore if you do not go through the tutorial.
even their old tutorial can get you in the air fairly quickly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyrr1p9lBSU

My druthers are mainly Infantry and some Armor, haven't spent much flight time, but I rarely flew in AH either.

The Armor is like it used to be in AH, using multiple crew positions and
having to change gears manually. 

Biggest difference is the full tutorial on weapons/equipment use, movement and map use. If you don't utilize the tutorials and you're a newbie, the learning curve is way out there.

But it is cheaper to play, correct?

It has some bare bones subscriptions, but the standard to unlock all the equipment is 14.99 to 17.99 per Mo. so fairly even. Graphics are more AH2 level.

Comraderie at the squad level is good, but the side level (axis/allied) doesn't come close to AH because the lack of in game voice comms which requires using discord for even squad comms. Dogfights and furballs are rare there compared to AH, but it's a whole different game dynamic, so no real comparison between the two.

Both games have pros/cons. I play WW2 primarily for the infantry which is not an AH feature.

  Thank you.

It doesn't have to be easy there. Ww2ol can hook players by activities that are easy to get into. Those are not only fun, but help to understand the war that is going on. When a player with no prior experience in games with planes there is some motivation provided to learn: To help with the war the player was taking part in before on the ground.

In AH there's basically no introduction to any of the underlying concepts. Whatch the video to get your plane in the air. Great. And then? Find a trainer to learn more. Yeah, but why? Why shoot anything down? Why take any "risk" to get shot down? It is impossible to "win" a furball, and there's no reason for a furball either.

It dies because HiTech never followed through with Submarines.

If only there were Submarines!

You don't know about the dot command for releasing the submarine.  If you were only a CM, then you would know.

ALT-F4 for Submarines with laser guided torpedoes .

Do they have laser beams attached to their heads?

No, no, no...  It's ALT+F4 for Nukes.  I'm serious!  Hop into a B-29 and look behind while in cockpit view!

[Shuffler]

I thought ALT + F4 makes Vraciu your wingman

[Mister Fork]

I thought the best command at ALT + TAB when bombing when you want to lock onto a ground target?

[Vraciu]

We're the wingman. 
And we don't know what to do. 
If you're not a wingman then to heck with you!
