All things considered, I have a blast flying AH. It's challenging and fun for me. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be subscribing. Simple. I think the AH staff has done a great job in presenting an online WWII flight sim. The only irritating thing for me is, just when I think I'm getting good I get my prettythang kicked royally by one of the vets here.

Salute AH and all the pilots!

A lot of us find allied vs axis just too easy and boring. We enjoy the challenge of fighting with and against an infinite variety rather than learning the one or two possible moves a 109 might make.

Sounds like WB is the game for you.

judging by your other post wooty, you haven't even had you 2 weeks yet and your trying to tell me that you know everthing about the gameplay?

Ok you've been on every map, including the AK Desert and sampled the differences that they bring.
You have also obviously mastered Bombing and have with your Squad that you joind been out on cooperative fighter sweeps, buff hunts, base captures and defense, Tank battles, JABO missions and on and on..

You've then use your finely honed skills to participate in the TOD, WW, races, and other specialty events, oh and dont forget the upcoming Battle of Britain (wont be seeing any Niki dweebs in there).
Come on mate you haven't even scratched the surface of what this community has to offer, If your willing to look/ help.

I find the maturity level not bad at all. the only thing you can hold against some of the guys/girls is that they can take offence easily if you slate the game, as we ALL (on the whole) care for this game/community and will jump to its defence.

The HTC guys (a very small team) own, run and CARE for the game and thats important and thay strive for improvement.

or you can go play with EA.

Ciao. and good luck. really.

and when you find a game with better armor, naval, air to air, jabo and level bombing action, and better plane set and weapons, and better community and responsive ownership, more arenas and maps, free H2H, all in one game, please be sure and drop us a note won't you?

thanks!

my god! wooty, your right! what have I been doing?! I've been wasting my life! how could I have been so blind?!

You know... you've convinced me of my stupidity.

I'm immediately going to cancel my AH account, and go directly to the iEN website, to sign up.

Jeez what was I thinking. Flying with 500 people last night, when I could have been flying with 70 or 80 and paying twice as much.

Oh my wasted opportunities. The shame. The Shame.

Twit!

All you dolts ever cry about is how many more people play prettythanges High than PoopBirds...BLAH BLAH BLAH. DO you know how many thousands of people play Quake? Guess not...if you did you wouldn't be defending yourselves like a bunch of mulesucking freaks...and you'd realize that the amount of attendance does not make a better product always. Look at every crappy "blockbuster" hit movie. 9 out of 10 absolutely stink. I'd rather chew razor blades than see another Hollywood abomination that was made for the sake of making people stupid and making stupid people money. So go play your Hollywood game and enjoy it Dummies.

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.

This is not true. You can park a tank behind a 109 and pour your mg into both ailerons, and that sucker will take off and circle the field like nothing happened. The way the WWIIOL damage model works is this: if a round doesn't penetrate deep enough to damage anything, it is forgotten. That's right, totally forgotten. Effect? No cumulative damage. Either your bullet hits something vital or it doesn't. Allied pilots are having a blast over there trying to kill 109s, which have exactly three places where it is possible to kill it- pilot, fuel tank, or engine. That sounds ok, until you realize the engine will not seize for half an hour or so after taking critical damage, and the fuel is virtually limitless. So, hitting the fuel tanks (assuming they don't flame, which they usually don't) makes airshow smoke, as does hitting the engine. This leaves you with hitting the pilot, and this is not easy to do. CRS maintains this is accurate, and the air war there is becoming more deserted every day.

Try harder.

Let's hear it...what's so great about numbers when EVERYBODY can turn on a dime and has weightless howitzers killing anything with two pings from a mile away?
It stinks and i don't like IT.

I specially liked parts "every plane ha sthe moves of a spit regardless of RL flight characteristics" and "there's no mac support"...

hmm who could that be??
