Sounds like a WWII "SIM"!

No killshooter, sweet... that won't work when guys don't care about killing their side.

historical planeset, we have the combat theater.

wind- we have that.

Limited tower base radar... ????? We can limit this however we want to.... but there WERE radar operators throughtout WWII that directed fighters to bomber formations. Even in the 1940 Battle of Britain era.

No in flight radar... well, this is all subjective. As long as there is AI or someone to guide you to intercepts then this would be realistic... otherwise it's just WWI.

No icons... really? Wow! I haven't thought of that before... no wait, I have. Planes aren't the real size they would be in real life compared to a 17" monitor at 1024x768... not even close.

So basically what you are telling me is... that's YOUR INTERPRETATION of a WWII "sim"?

AKSwulfe,

Exactly.

WB III = ugly, blind and mushy, IMHO at least.

People say it has better graphics, but every time I try it it looks ugly (I actually have the lastest version installed now, I wanted to fly a Ki-84). To me AH simply looks better, though some of the older models (P-51D, B-17G, N1K2-J) are certainly showing their age.

Hey, dont jump on him all at once folks

it might be bad form to post a competitors product on these boards but either way i dont plan on leaving AH.

Easy guys. It's not like WB is a realistic threat to HTC's market share. It's a very effective workfare program for sim developer wannabees.

I had no intent of attacking WB, just what some people consider realistic.... well, isn't realistic at all.

"Maybe threads like this are why I stick with warbirds....Strider"

Right. Where warm, friendy, impartial and objective neanderthals like MG and Cabby call home?!

AKSWulfe, the WAR ROOM IS totally playable with a 17" monitor at 1024x768. U can easily identify AC from realistic range. And people DON´T shoot friendly on purpose. They would do that in AH if it was possible?

BTW: Here´s a famous "julle":

Looks like I struck a nerve.

Yes Rob, Strider prefers the friendly environment of AGW, where threats of bodily harm are acceptable behavior.

I would rather go back to playing B17 on the intellivision. Graphics are better....

moose · « **Reply #28 on:** May 10, 2002, 05:05:21 PM »

ah well for this thread.

Hey WB folk, if someone posted something about AH in the same manner on AGW, do you think there would be a different reply from the wb crowd? :-)

i'm reminded of a quote from the movie 'the patriot'. I gotta go find it now.

By the way, I made the comment I did in jest.

julle, just understand, we keep seeing ads/info for other competitors products on the BB here. The IL2 gang nas been hitting AH hard.
So you are getting a reaction that typifies an amount of frustration from this. None of the guys mind an OT post like this, but you just followed an IL2 guy who was rather obnoxious and we still have that taste in our mouths.

I have never flown WB, and won't for my own reasons. but I wanted to clarify my post as it could have been taken badly. I was just kidding around. Good luck over there.

And in the future, please post this type of stuff in the OT forum, as we all do indeed read it.
