Ok chaps, i am but a lowly 56k user but i soon will be upgrading to broadband.
I don't know what the exact minimum speck AH uses when developing the Sim, but i would imagine that its at least 56k or even 28k modem speed with a possible P2 450 or something to that extent.
Now i don't pretend to be no 'net guru' but i do understand the basics principles of how data is transmitted.
What i was wondering is that obviously AH would want to keep the min spec as low as possible to cater for the widest possible audience, but would it be possible to have an option at the log in of AH were you declare that you are using broadband. Then when you actually play the sim, your PC is flagged as using broadband and therefore could receive more packets than others on 56k or less.
The whole simulation could then be geared up to providing a more detailed environment using more complicated explosions, more detail and real time movement on the surfaces of vehicles and buildings like wind socks, animated acks, the movement tracks on the tanks and blowing them off when hit, you know just basically making the whole arena that more animated and in depth.
That way when the time eventualy dose come when everyone is on broadband we will already have AH taking full advantage of it.
dose this sound a plauserble idea or am i just being retarded?
I think it sounds a fairly sound idea and it wont P*** off the low band users either.
comments, but keep it clean
