And its not only the 19.90, its billions of $ more for millions of GB of RAM to have 1 Frame
How do you figure that it has no flight model? I believe it has a great flight model.
Both games have strengths and weaknesses.
Should we have a game of point out the other guys weaknesses?
First I'll do a disclaimer that having not tried the game yet, I do believe that it will be fun. Also having not tried AH yet I may be mistaken as I am just going on what you and other guys state and what I see in screen shots.
anyway AH has icons over every unit including the enemy units. Is this true? WWIIOL does not do that, only air units but the big difference is that frindly and enemy air icons are grey at a distance when in real life you would only see that a plane is there but not be able to tell friend or foe. Also when you change your view from say, front to left it takes a second for the icon to light up and fades in. This is realistic because in real life when you fly around and look to your left you will not instantly be drawn to the enemy aircraft by a neon sign saying "look here". It's a realistic amount of time it takes for target aquisition.
Our aircraft can actually hide in a cloud. I watched a 109 fly up into the clouds and his icon dissapeared. There were only a few aircraft at the airfield since it was early in the morning and not many people were on.
AH has no side specific rides, it's red vs blue not Axis vs Allies.
AH has no ground clutter.
AH has no infantry.
You actually have to search visually for the enemy and it looks more realistic because there is no neon sign telling you where he is.
AH does not have a damage model as intense as WWIIOL that models all the vitals in a plane or tank. Does the AH damage model take into acount armor thickness, slope, velocity of projectile etc, etc, etc. before it decides that a hit did any damage?
AH does not incorporate supply or attrition.
I guess my next point is this. Both games seem to have lot's of people who love them so they must be fun. So why is the bashing even necessary?
