With the success of TOT the new third bomber enhancement will be TOC or Tons On Country.  Rather than having to bother with hitting targets, or even hitting an area, now you can simply put your bomber in enemy airspace and let loose all your bombs to hit all your enemy at once.

LOL try taking off without the auto take off...i have to use about all the rudder ...


you think its easy for a beginner to fly??? you probably think its unrealisitc not ot be able to completly control your plane with trim as well yah nark...

it takes about 3 or 4 hours to get decent at flying...thats for someones first time on the sticks as you phrase it

you probably think it was a bad idea to add mouse control instead of making people be stuck on the keyboard like in il2...



ohj yeah and to all you joystick users ourt there welll :p MY mouse gives even the shoddiest planes fast roll rates

Question:

After M'Dear and Cioa Bella I'm thinking or hoping that either Target or Esme is a chick. Please tell me this is the case.

Next,

Did some testing on the lastest version of WBIII last night.

Nice graphics, like the tracer effects and DX9 sure does make that thing run and look better.

But the two things that need to be changed in that game before I can take it seriously are the 6 view and the roll inertia.

Funny thing is the one A/C that does not have or has the least roll inertia is the P-38L. It has almost an immediate response to control input and it should be the one to have the most initial hesitation to roll. Also the turn radius of this bird is like a Zeke. Someone at IEN has a real boner for the 38.

Also Target, what did you mean by "Check the Spit XIV cockpit". Why is it different than the others?

Do you have plans to change the 6 view??

TOT is an absolute joke, I hope HTC never introduces such a gamey system.

Post deleted, didn't mean to offend. F4U, if you would like to discuss it I guess you can just email me or come over to the design board.

Sorry all. Just trying to answer a question.

Graphics arent anything to backflip over...Plus eye candy is only a minor part to a game.

Now that terrain needs some serious work.

Is it just me or does anyone else consider it bad form for a competing company to have one of their game designers post screenshots of their game on a competitors message boards in a rather vain and pathetic attempt to drum up customers in another vain and pathetic attempt to keep that game afloat?

No offense Target, I'm sure you're really proud of the work you've done but it is extremely rude for you to advertise WB III on this message board in an attempt to drum up more business.  Do you really think that Wild Bill would let Superfly or NateDog post screenshots of AH/AH2 on the WB forums?

I think its despicable and shows that the developers and staff are desparate for customers.
I bet Dale lets them continue to post here because he feels sorry for them.
I know I feel sorry for anyone who flis WBs.

****ty game, just ****ty....

Seriously didn't mean to offend anyone. Just trying to answer F4U's question. It's my understanding that Dale and crew pretty actively monitor this forum, I would assume if they had a problem they would have moved or deleted the thread.

Anyway, the offending screenshots have been removed. I like coming over here to see how AH is developing. Hope I'm still welcome. Again, my apologies.

Last time I looked at WBIII was just after they added the Spitfire Mk XIV (hey, its my favorite WWII aircraft), and it in no way matched the British reports on it.  It was slow, climbed horribly, and couldn't turn very well.  That aircraft would never have been accepted for service given how much better WBIII's 1942 Merlin 61 Spitfire Mk IX is.

The FM on the Spit XIV was a joke.

The FM on the Mossie VI was pretty poor too.
