You can fly a whole heck of a lot of planes whenever you want in MA. Perk planes are perked precisely so as to limit their use, otherwise you would log into a sky full of 262's everyday. System is working as designed.

If HTC would extend the obj/eny system to scoring, you would see a great deal more diversity. As it is right now, a kill is a kill, and it is not smart (from a scoring perspective) to fly anything but the "best" planes.

Actually it doesn't take very long at all. The easiest and fastest way is to JABO and strafe a strat with a fighter (110 G2 recommended), you can bring back 10 or so fighter perks a sortie in this way.

(Be sure you are in attack mode, you may as well have your work score correctly too.)

HC I use an LCD as mentioned above. Refresh is meaningless. It is set to 72, and that is where I am pegged in other games.

No argument with this statement, but your previous statement still isn't true. You can't fly anything you want. No matter how you sugar coat it, that is the fact.

Perhaps, but the subject was attrition. Beside I *can* fly anything I want

Are you pegged because you do set your vidcard to vsyncing on? I got 120+fps looking up last night and my monitor is set for 85hz refresh. I do run vsyncing off on my geforce. Settings do matter.

No, non members cannot post to ww2ol forums. The first 6 months of vitriolic ranting and spamming of the Chat Forum caused that. Quite a few ppl here play both sims and they could post anything, anytime about AH that they wish. You find my post offensive?

Max, suffice that I am here.

I will have to look into that.

erg... fyi, there are a couple of proggies that allow you to overclock nvidia cards. One is called Coobits and is a small registry program that unlocks the OC capacity of their cards. I dont know where it is offhand but a Google search should show up numerous sites.

Thanks for the little program Oedepus . After dismantling the code I found out that it was a very simple program, and after final condensing and taking out the unneccesary parts of it i found this..." WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

HC please sit down. I spent two weeks hard out playing WW2OL. I made it to a captain without cheating.

I've seen all the bugs, inadequacies, read the real feelings of players on their BBS. My XP2100+ system with a GF3 and 512Mb of DD SDRAM chokes on the game from time to time.

There are some wonderful ideas there, but the implementation sucks.

Now go sell your snakeoil somewhere else.

hardcase · « **Reply #73 on:** January 08, 2003, 02:14:34 PM »

New patch just out fixing the flame bugs and panhard bugs plus a couple of others.

"In fact, your the first guy I have heard to say he has gotten more than 40 fps in ww2ol"

You can ad me to the list. While I can get frame rates on WWII Online anywhere from 300+fps at the map board down to 40 to 70 on a heavy dogfight, the very lowest I get now is an occasional blip to 25 in a heavy dogfight, over a large town, down on the deck, with numerous ground troops. It quickly rises back up in the 50 -60 as soon as I get off the deck near the ground objects, and remains in the 90 to 120 range the rest of the time.

P4, 2.8ghz, 1 gig rdram, radeon 9700 with 128mg

WwII Online has much more in the way of scenery and details to process on your machine. The one most important thing you can do for frame rates in WwII Online is invest in a lot of ram. Prior to adding another 512mgs of ram even this high speed computer had blips down on the deck in heavy fights.

You can't compare the two sims with that respect. One has very basic ground scenery, basic airfields, and very basic towns. The other has intense scenery, camouflage, cities, bridges, roads, and numerous ground players factoring into the equation. One is devoted to dogfighting and furballs, the other is providing a mission oriented combined air and land war.

Some enjoy one over the other, and this can be noted by visiting the various bbs systems.
