Might be playing in france in 45. A map, the vehicles and hindsight is the game. When was the last time you played since you think it is not improving? I feel 500 coming on

You think because the BOF was over by 1941 that nothing can go into 41? Hasnt been scrapped. You fly over the same map every day in AH. When they build the MED, if towns are still free in France the battle will still go on in France and Africa. If you dont think it got better with 1.7, we just have no meeting of the minds.

Hardcase,

It was courteous of you to stop by and keep us informed about WW2OL.

IMO personal opinion though, you're not helping either that game or yourself here right now. The discourse is degenerating and getting far from your original intent I suspect.

Do as you like; just wanted you to be aware that there are others that think "no one would have thought the less of you" as SOB pointed out.

How many resets have their been in wwiiol? You just reset the map you dont move on to BoB med or anything.......

So what you will end end up with is 41 aircraft vehicles in the same arena with the vehicles that are there now but most likely they will be limited.

But its unclear to me in this statement on whether they go with a wholy '41 set up or just add '41 era vehicles into play with what is available currently.

With the last two patches to v1.7 we have been using the rolling map that we talked about earlier this year. Bringing the server down and back up with a stable map is important both for being able to patch without resetting the map as well as changing spawn lists without resetting the map. At this time we plan to introduce the 1941 vehicles on a set time after the beginning of a new map. That time will likely be between 4 and 6 weeks. Once the map has been live for that period we will bring the servers down and adjust the spawn lists to accommodate the new vehicles, making changes to the available numbers and favoring the new vehicles over the old. We are working to be able to change the spawn lists without bringing the server down but will not likely have that functionality right away. We’ll post more about this as we get closer to launching the 1941 set. You can also expect some drastic changes to this whole system once we begin implementing the RPG layer and Deployment. Look for future posts in this forum on both of those topics.

But I am too lazy and generally dont care what they do.

Aces High rotates maps after every reset. We have a series of historical and "fantasy" type maps. In our combat theater we have a ton of maps that rotate out weekly. But Aces High isnt a "World War II simulation". World War II online. Has very little to do with WW2. Except for vehicle names and town names. Aces High doesnt pretend it to be WW2.

1.7 looks marginally better but its still the same game.

As for a "meeting of the minds", well that aint ganna happen over WWIIOL and the news you linked make it even less likely in the future.

Damn, I forgot about this thread, would have jumped back in again if my young mind had remembered it sooner. It came back to my feeble mind after seeing hardcases follow up attempt to recruit people away from AH.

hey, maybe I will try WW2OL. Gives me goosebumps all over just thinking about it. But wait, on second thought, maybe all those guys who were swearing about what a waste of money it was knew something I didnt?

Thanks hardcase, baiting you is the most fun I have had in a long while.

Why are they adding more planes when the basic strat isn't in there? Where are the factories and supply trains, trucks and depots? Those things were show cased...oooh... errr... 2 years ago? And we are still waiting.

The crosshair thing with the infantry is still a POS. Why don't they make it like a proper FPS and just allow the proportional movement in the game. Other than that, it adds nothing new to infantry FPS (DoD had stamina modelled long before WW2OL was released) apart from the iron sighted shooting, which I like.
