Does AH have a 64 plane limit?

in the words of HT....

(pyro said something about being over the 64 limit a while back....too lazy to go find it.)

He is meaning like WW2OL where if you have 65 planes/tanks/boats/whatevers on your FE, the 65 one dissappears. IE only 64 things can be on the FE at all times. Awhile back, just before 1.09 came out, Pyro made that "Whoa is me" post where he tried to add a 65th plane to the set, but the game was maxed at 64. HT then fixed it so pyro could add more planes. From what I know and have seen, there is no 64 plane limit in AH, however, it would be nice if HTC would pop in here and confirm it.

Its not a plane limit.. its a view limit. How many aircraft will AH render at the same time. I haven't heard of any on-line sim doing more than 64 vehicles (displaying any addtional as black dots).

If it is an issue... I don't know that it would be the same as the trouble WW2OL is facing. We have aircraft in our view... not aircraft, troops and large numbers of armor.

Is there any limit? (if not 64)

Yes this is what I meant. I posted the other day and somebody said there wasn't a 64 plane limit view. BUT I thought there was. With the additions of 1 person being able to man a 3 plane buff formation ( was 4 originally) My concern was Ripsnort can easily get 20 players in his missions that would be 80 buffs and the enemy isn't even factored in yet. I assume, As I have read the FE will drop freindly counters to a 'DOT" before enemy counters. Key word is 'Assume" because I don't know for sure if this IS the way it works OR if there even is a 64 plane visual limit. Thats why I was asking for clarity. I had a feeling the Buff formation numbers was going to be reduced because of the Limit ( which i assume there is) then i heard it was because historically they flew in 3's. Whatever the reason I don't care but it did raise my curiosity if there IS a plane visual limit.

I've heard there is and isn't, I was hoping for Clarity other than hearsay. I guess this is something that only the boys ( and sexy voiced ladies ) at HTC could only answer. I don't think 3 buff formations would cause a problem even if there is a 64 limit view maximum, only on very rare occassions.

WB currently has a 32 plane limit. More than that and planes start disappearing.

Big problem in the S3's, little problem in the main. How can you push the limit when the total arena population is maybe 80

....on a good day

S3's are a problem, 12 bombers with escorts may number 20. Have a 15 member JG drop in for headon passes on the bombers and you have a problem. Add to that, the radios are calling in support from sweeps and the next thing you know your WAY over the limit.

Sucks.

There is some kind of limit. If it's not an absolute limit where planes dissappear they at least start to warp if there are too many.

(50+ bish planes attacking one field surely warp when viewed from FE connected to the net via modem).
