AH has finally reached the level of fun as WB 1.11r2
« on: January 12, 2001, 09:40:00 AM »
And in my book, that is high praise indeed. For anyone old enough to remember WB 1.11r2, that was IMO the zenith of fun in online flight-sims. While it still had it's share of idiosyncrasies, v1.11r2 was the most fun ever to grace online gaming. Night after night, epic struggles between all four countries, with funny banter on the open radio channel. And all that in 2D to boot!

After my experiences last night in AH, I feel as though AH has finally reached that level of pure fun. To be sure, AH has room for improvement. But at least for me, I now consider AH to be far and away the premier online flight sim. Furthermore, with all of the additions in AH that WB never had(clouds, custom views, guncam, PT boats, tanks, etc..), Aces High has actually surpassed WB 1.11r2(and any other version of WB, for that matter) in terms of fun.

Did ya hear that Lazs? I said fun. FUN! FUN! FUN!  And this coming from a "phony realism" lover like myself.

Move over Ripsnort. Another AH cheerleader has joined the ranks.

I have, for the most part, really enjoyed AH. From the first day of public BETA to now.
Certainly since 1.05 I have really enjoyed my time online.

But what strikes me more than anything is how much fun I sense everyone else having in this release!  V1.05 is definately a milestone for AH.

sheesh... don't use the "F" word!!!  Keep it to ourselves before the phony realism set start crawling out of the shadows.  The enemies of fun with pinched face and whiny voice will start in about "historical" matchups and 25K fights and one life per lifetime and..

They make the Amish look like partyers.

The availability of quick action, a varied and balanced plane set, a fresh version... All these things make 105 the best ever... Sadly, forces are in place to make it (105)even shorter lived than WB 111 was.

 I agree banana!  (westy cues up Love's Theme...)  Although I never flew WB's 1.11r2.

 I'm as (twirls in place while the disco light ball spins) happy as a clam in polyester....!

 Except for that damned fleet ack :|

Well, he got his Daddy's Chog and he cruised to the enemy fleet, now
Seems he forgot all about the old Macchi like he told his old man, now
And with hispanos blasting goes cruising just as fast as he can, now
And he'll have fun, fun, fun til Dale Addink takes the C-Hog away!

Well, the guys can't stand him 'cause he flies, shoots and posts like a dweeb, now
"You fly like a dweeb now, you fly like a Dweeb"
He makes RAM, towd, Hristo and Joemud look like nice little boys, now
"You fly like a Dweeb now, you fly like a Dweeb"
A lot of guys try to catch him but he sprays his uber cannons into the sky, now
"You shoot like a Dweeb now, you shoot like a Dweeb"
And he'll have fun, fun, fun til Dale Addink takes the C-hog away!

Well, you knew all along that Pyro & Dale were getting wise to you, now
"You shouldn't have rolled now, you shouldn't have rolled"
And since they perked your wet dream, you've  been thinking that your fun is all through, now
"They perked your wet dream now, they perked your wet dream"
But you can come along with me, as I roll in my little Lavochkin, now
"Little Lavochkin now, little Lavochkin"
And we'll have fun fun fun now that Dale took the C-hog away!

Fun, fun, fun now that Dale took the C-hog away!

Too late, the "purists" are creeping out of the woodwork all over the place!!

1.11r2 was the first on-line Flight Sim I was able to play under NT 4.0  God I loved that game... <Snif>

To be honest, I enjoyed beta much more, the more difficult FM and no vehicles made the game much more fun.
