Cool. I'd be curious to hear what one of you guys think of it. I don't really trust generic reviews by people I don't know.

Well, I don't pre-order anything anymore. ;)

I will watch it's progress with interest.  I too am interested in real reviews.

It will be interesting to see what percentage of their WWII base are going to shell out for the "Forgotten War" jet game.

If I were them I would have done BoB (CloD is never going to be good enough) or Pac (Shore up against CP taking your abandoned WWII customers) instead.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Interesting.... locking all the discussions so we can talk about another game. LOL

I might have to check out their WWII stuff. I have not even been flying anywhere.... not even MSFS.

The F-86 vs Mig-15 is a good match and fun. Just need some missiles.

Ive started back on WW2OL. Nice thing about that game is that they actually have a free to play option

Aye. It's the thing that keeps the numbers up. How is it these days?

I pretty much play all VR games these days so I'm not sure I could be competitive in WWII online especially after somebody posted an ESP hack for the game on youtube ad instead of addressing the problem the convinced the guy to take down the video.

Most of the games that have been around for a while (including this one) have hacks and without anticheat you're going to have a hard time busting the cheaters. I must say that WT seems to have a decent anticheat because even though I've seen it from time to time, it appears that they go away right quick.

Numbers are down like a lot of the older games but its still active. It has different tiers of sub models that the cheapest gives you more then what free to play offers but doesn't unlock everything, all the way up to full unlocking of everything at the max monthly sub. Free to play is just infantry only and no vehicles/ships/planes but its enough to keep you engaged. If they would remove free to play it would likely kill off half the numbers and make the game a ghost town. Another valid reason that free to play will increase the number of active players in a game even though it appears that dale is too scared to try it

Seems to me a little F2p is the best filler AI you will ever write,
and the best advertising you could ever buy.

Korea, as popular as junk mail.

AW Korea arena population 0-3, other arenas 90-200. About 1-3% interest. Players may try it and that will be the peak.

No, AH does not have a lot of hacks. Just like mods don’t target you for fun either.

Mya know who diesn’t advertise other games here? The actual players.

I dont think he is "scared to try it", I think he is too busy to spend the time it would take for the coading to set it up.

There COULD (imaginary possibility) be truth in this. HiTech name was in MA for 2-3 hrs several days ago.

Also, he just may not want to make it free. Even if the word is slid in 10,000 times through power of suggestion. You get 2 free weeks.
