AW3 is AW DOS, with pretty graphics and it runs in windows. By the time you got to AW3, they had been working on it for over 6 years. AH has been out for a little over 1 year. Same with Fighter Ops.
WB is dead, we dont need a revisited WB.
I personally was never attracted from WB.WB is dead because ICI left iEN. Some went to form WW2Ol, but the main players are here at AH. Where WB left off, AH will continue from.
Yes divebomb whit a P-38 cc you hare right, but where is the Ju87 or another specific role plane????Reason: Ju87 is dead meat in the main arena. Ju88 is dive bomb specific, atleast that is livable. The main arena is there day to day, scenarios are there occassionally. Why built scenario planes when most people are here to play AH?
Oh yes Afrika, whit B26, Typhoon, very realistic. Where are the planes to perform real scenarios, or better where is the intention to introduce these planes???If you don't see the intention to eventually introduce new planes, then apparently you are NOT living in this universe. We currently see an upcomming carrier fleet and F6F and TBF. TBF is dead meat in the MA, like the Ju87 would be. Why else would they produce the TBF other than for scenario use? The Ju88 is a more survivable torpedo bomber. Like I said, planes take a LOT of time to MAKE. You go ahead and get yourself 3DMax or 3DStudio. Make me a model of your most favorite plane with the detail they put into it. When you get that done, write yourself a flight model for it. Then gimme a call in 5 to 10 years when you finally complete it.
Well, I see only 2000 and + people that look at a program that offer determined things.
I have no comment about their succes or not in programming the game. Is a question of probable # of customer, nothing more than that.You can only program so much a day. The lines of code you write are always changed or revised that day. On average a computer programmer writes between 5 and 20 lines of code a day. You could make a program say "Hello" colored in red centered on the screen in bold letters with that many lines. See where I'm going? It ain't easy.
These people will remain to AH???
These people are the majority of the WW2 aerial simulation customers?????They are the majority of AH customers. That's all that matters. Unless you are paying, your opinion or what you want to see really does not matter. They will certainly remain with AH if they get to see their plane incorporated.
F4UC lolACM= Air Combat Manuevers. If you are letting an F4U hit you, you messed up somewhere. I can take F4Us head on all day.. I always jinx their shots then move in to kill them.
This is an opinion from a probable customer.
You hare an happy customer right?? Tell me why? What can i have here that no other games have?? Stop whit the realism argument we all know that realism is far far away from computers games. (1.04 show us that)I never argued realism anywhere. However, it IS the most detailed sim I've played to date. Coming from a 7 year history of playing these thigns, my opinion of what's good and what isn't should show you something. AW is outdated. WB is outdated. FA and FAII.... who cares? WW2Ol and WB3. Well WW2Ol is yet unproven. When it's compiled I'll let you know. WB3 is no more than a pretty graphics engine overlayed the same old thing. When/if they implement a new flight model/damage model the iEN team's ability and recreating those things in detail is as-of-yet unproven.
Am I happy? You betcha. Am I happier than the guy paying 19.95? You betcha, cuz I can fly better than him.
Of course the point of you quitting is beyond me. Is it to get that fabled 19.95 offer? If it isn't, then you'll just be sitting around on your thumbs unless you decide to see the outside world. And if someone getting something for 10 dollars cheaper upsets you.. beware the human society. Amazon.com, every click you make the price gets jacked up on a product. Repeat buyer? Price gets jacked up more. Priceline.com.. Name your own price!! Oops grocery sales went up.. income went down. Doh! They forget they atleast need to break even to stay in business. Car dealership.. You ALWAYS finesse the dealer down in price. If you don't.. you just got screwed faster than a billy goat in texas.
Now, lets do this in a break down fashion...
DRUGS! Let's see how much money you can waste on drugs or Aces High>>>>
Marijuana aka dope aka weed aka ganja etc...
20$ will buy you a dub sack. How much is that? It's enough for 4 people to get completely stoned for about 8 hours.. maybe 12 if you can stay up long enough.
Acid aka LSD...
30$(29.95 rounded off) will get you 6 hits of acid. Depending on your dealer they can last anywhere between 4 to 14 hours per hit. You can share with your friends or you can hog it to yourself.
Ecstasy...
25$ for a 6-8hr pill. You feel happier than a potato when the sailors dock.
Opium...
25$ will get you a lot and you'll be heavily sedated for several hours. You can make it last as long or as little as you want, but it will last you no more than a week.
Heroin,cocaine,PCP,crack, and crank: I don't know their street prices but believe me, they aren't worth it.
And the kicker!!!
For 30 days of euphoric air combat, you pay 29.95$ doing what you like. And it don't fry your brain or lead to death!!
