I like the points about AH being hacked, and the gunnery model. Very astute.

All systems and games have it...look at the console market today. Each community has its own beliefs on the other game or system, and usually always makes things up or starts rumors to attempt to make them feel better for buying that system or game.

Look at AH and WB...we're always finding or starting rumors about the other game...typical community banter.

Though it is great to see some of the things people say...

I do like the lazer gunnery comments and the hacking comments.  Of course, nobody every claimed ANYONE in warbirds was hacking.

You have the same group of "HACKER!" losers in all sims (read that to mean people that actually hack and people that scream hack! all the time... ie sikboy)

I scream hack all the time :confused:  lol.


This one time back on DOS Airwarrior, I was SOO sure I'd seen a cheatin hackin bastard. I had not been flying for long, and this A-26 was playing bloodpig over our field. My friend Foster and I must have put a billion rounds in that plane, and it was smoking something awful, but it wouldn't pop. There must have been 5 planes in a love train on that guys six. Finally he says "and now I die of natural causes" and he augered.

I was positive that guy was cheating. But then, I was new to online flight sims, and just like the UFO guys, anything unexplained had to be classified as something, and hacker was as good as anything.  I admit today (6 years later lol) that he was probably not cheating.

And that was the one time I complained about hacking bastards.

It's often the same sentence used when putting down AH "Oh but I tried AH but..." It would be interesting to actually have them post the callsign's they trialed under as one I tried a few weeks ago after the person said they tried it was a little misleading, a handful of sorties over a month is hardly a fair trial :rolleyes:

As for the post you guys have refered to, yes there are dweebs in the arena, there are and have been in WB it's not an AH 'thing'

It's laughable to see the constant referrals to laser gunnery when it simply is'nt so, just a player used to the WB icon (took me a while too) I've had plenty of experience of nursing a damaged plane home in fighters and especially bombers. One thing Poopster remarked on when trying AH was the way you had to adjust your timing as if you flew like you did in WB you're toast.

AH fm's might well feel strange to a WB'er but as the WB team have expressed a desire to do a full FM review I hardly think it wise to hold WB up as any kind of example ;)

There are cheats in any game, it's a fact of life that human nature is to suceed and some do it at all costs. There were cheats in WB and almost certainly in AH but it's laughable to somehow insinuate it's more of a problem in AH when the producer of Warbirds abuses his CM powers to cheat in the arena :rolleyes: Both sims suffer from those who game the game. I spent a little time in WBIII and was met by just as many HO nuts as I do here and players performing some odd negative G manouvres in LW planes.

Why these games have to be turned into a religion I don't know. I sometimes think the so called 'fanboi's' in AH and WB would think less of cheating on their wife than they would to try the competitor's sim :rolleyes: I hold accounts in AH, WB and WW2OL, not sure why I still do in WW2OL but I'll wait and give the new patch a try once it's official and won't wipe my HDD. There is stuff I like in WBIII and AH, in a perfect world these would be combined and we'd have a super sim until then I'll just try and get the best out of what's on offer.

I thought the scores worked even if the account was closed because they are not deleted, when I re-opened mine I had to choose another account name because my old one still existed but they could not reactivate it. Same old excuse 'oh I tried it but it's toejam' there's always going to be a few loud mouthes when the community is so large, guess it's not been that way at WB so long or those who had been around a while would remember the trash talking on main channel in WB :rolleyes:

For God's sake somebody go post a pic of our bullet drop here and get them to shut up already about the lazer gunnery.  Never understood that.   I've been here since v .23 of the ALPHA and I always remember bullet drop, and I've NEVER been able to hit anything past 1200 yds,  ever.

 better than their always changing bullet size.....
