the first thing i find unattractive is the fact that any country can fly any plane.
Im sorry but P-51s were NOT made to fight P-51s and 109s were NOT made to fight 109s.
The one thing I liked about warbirds, is the RPS.
It actually requires skill and not half the arena using dweeb planes.
I enjoyed flying the spit 1 but when a D9 decides to play, you dont stand a chance unless the D9 pilot is a moron.
Sure theres a CT, but no one has the balls to play in it. Oh well.
The graphics are good, for 1997.
This is 2002. I suggest at least supporting directX 6. Hiring some people who know how to code DX8 would be a good idea. The cockpits are absolutly horrible. I think i can count the polys on my fingers.
The plane models themselves could also use alot better texturing effects(bump mapping, look it up) and just simply better models.
Stop catering to the voodoo2/450mhz P2 users and realize that most everyone has at least a geforce 1 or equivilent and anyone that doesnt should probaly upgrade and if they cant afford, well, welcome the the world of PC gaming, i suggest buying a console or something. Maybe get a part-time job.
Sound effects, again, good for 1997. Doppler sound would be really great. So would convincing sounds effects.
Flight Model, needs work. I suggest adding physics. I guess that would requre more than a 450mhz CPU tho, oh well.
Ballistics. As much as WWIIOL sickens me the one thing thats great about it is that each and every bullet is accuratly modeled as is penetration. Hit boxes should have died by now. Oh, I also suggest that HTC watch some WWII aerial combat videos for once and get rid of these lines people are calling "tracers". While you are at it, research exactly what a tracer round is.
Gameplay, is well, it could be better, more dramatic or better yet, fun and enjoyable and not a chore. That would require effort and change i guess.
Community, seems to be mainly people who think they are superior to people who play, for example, FPS games. Its pretty annoying, this elitism. Ironically, this is nothing but Quake. Lots a HO pilots out there. Im glad i know how to avoid them. The in game maturity level seems pretty low though, especially for a bunch of elitists that make fun of people who play FPS games, how ironic.
Overall, I think HTC needs to get with the times and stop cattering to the top end machines of 1997.
eh, at least i didnt have to pay for this, im out.
oh lemme guess, dont let the door hit me in the ass, hit me where the good lord split me, etc etc etc
Wake up people. This isnt 97 anymore, get with the times, thanks.
