stupid opinion poll: good and bad of AH

[ra]

bad:  lack of non-furball action.  

good: lots of furball action when that's what you're in the mood for.

pet peeve:  bringing a shot up plane back from a gang bang with a dead engine, landing it on 1 wheel, skidding 3 feet off the side of the runway, and the host says 'you have ditched'.

The Good:Graphics,gameplay,support,strat,immersion
The Bad:FM needs stalls/spins(more likely to get stick stirring message than flight departure),no perk vehicles,clipboard shows perk points earned..instead of flight points
The Ugly:Sally lifting shirt at AH con..

Good = HTC.  Regardless of what I may or may not like about AH, HTC is an incredible company which I have nothing but the utmost respect for.

Bad = focusing gameplay on the landgrab.  This really degrades from the air combat in AH.  Ideally landgrab would be a limited, peripheral issue, like vehicles and boats.

Pros: Everything minus the cons   Great game overall. Too lazy to type everything I like about it.

Cons: collision modelling. NDisles map, lack of more GVs and early war planes.

As far as what I like about the game there's too much to list. I'd include the unwavering support from the HTC staff. Its nice having people there who share the same passion for the game as those playing it. <S> HTC.

The graphics and interface are top notch. I like the plane set (several 109's to choose from hehe) although I'd like to see some more early war planes--I'm sure that'll come in time.

As for what I don't like there's only a couple of things. The self-retracting flaps would prolly be at the top of my list. I really don't understand that at all. I have a button mapped just for retracting them <shrug>.

That and the stall horn are about it. I'd rather have some buffetting instead. More realistic. That damned howling banshee stall horn just about drives me nuts some nights! Can you tell I like to ride the edge just a little?

I've been in AH since March and I'm having a blast. Great job on a great game.

Pro: "Feel" of flying is closest to actual compared to other games so far... IMO. Continual updates, always evolving. Amazing variety in ways to entertain yourself. Incredible Price. Owner operated.


Cons:  Where's that B-25C in 345th colors?
Whiners.

[Tac]

Good: Everything BUT:

Bad: damage model (its either undamaged or ripped off), no permanent squelch list, 38 quirks (yeah, you didnt see that one coming! lol!), no early war planes.

I just returned here after taking a time out and tried to spawn a vehicle. It took me almost an hour to figure out that a 2 foot tree could kill my tank.???
Whats this all about???
I used to have a ball with the ground vehicles in here...and I know many others did. Spawning a vhicle in here now is a useless endevour and a waste of time.
Considering that there are some real unsatisfied cutomers in another sim  right now(shouldnt need to mention which)it would behove HTC to make the groundwar more fun.

Likes:

Graphics
Sounds
Interface
Huge number of AC
GV's Buffs
Lots more


Dislikes:

Killshooter
Lack of Killrunner
Espionage


Hates:

Lil bushs killing gv's (trees are ok)
Severely underpowered gv engines


Pet Hates:

the fact that the 40mm Hurri, Typhoon, IL2 and other AC designed for killing armour are not used because a P51 or other mg armed plane can penetrate heavy armour just as easily or more easily then the former.

Likes

1) Heightened level of realism

Yeah, I know nobody knows here what is 'real' and what isn't... but the difficulty of flying and fighting here sure shines above many other sims I have encountered. And the levels of research - community and HTC alike - seem to be very high too.

2) WWII material

I wouldn't be playing AH if there were something like Phantoms and Falcons and Hornets here. I play AH because there are Spitfires and Hurricanes and Mustangs and.. er... um... do 109s have any nicknames?? Something about antique, vintage aircraft make me smile  

Dislikes

1)   Hispanos
2) relatively inferior graphics compared to some box sims.. it ain't bad, but it ain't excellent either   let's hope for improvements
3) Ndisles  
4) minor graphical errors
5) cockpit art takes a lot away from immersion..  


 Overall, though the number of dislikes is more than likes, the two likes outweigh all the dislikes added up  

[Urchin]

Likes..

I feel that the fighter combat is bar-none, hands-down the best I've ever seen.

Dislikes..

Ground Vehicles are a tad screwed up.
Bombers are totally screwed up.
Total lack of feedback regarding customer concerns.

Thats just about it.  Even with my 3 big dislikes, the game is still probably the best game of any type I've ever played.

5) The trim model.
6) Wind Layers.
7) The logic behind what ack hits/doesn't hit.

10) Control surfaces falling off rather then getting shot to hell.
11) Spawn death bug.
12) Lack of permanent squelch feature.
13) Ack huggers/ack that doesn't save me.
