Saw this linked on Blues News. Lots of details on AH2. Not sure if this has been posted before but didn't see anything about it.

Thank you.   That was a welcome boost to my waining morale.

[MRPLUTO]

Thank you Makarov9...this is news right from the horses mouth that the Beta is still on schedule, something many were doubting.

WG: I see. I don't know if you've had a lot of time to think about this, but after Aces High II is released, what are the next couple of major changes or additions you have in mind.

DA: There's still the same list that's always been there. I mean, after Aces High II is released and stable, we'll be back to adding more aircraft and more items along with it. I've always wanted to get to the "first-person-shooter" stuff. The Aces High II engine supports that really, really well. So that will be one of them. And then we'll be back to submarines. I want both of those in the game.


OMG that would rock.

Theres alot of good info in that Thanks

[Roscoroo]

I've been dying to get myself one of those ... (submarines)

I remember Back when Hitech was telling us he needed to figure out how to get it to dive in 5 inches of water (the depth of the oceans in the current AH )   Ahhh more stuff to dream about ..

[Slash27]

Thanks Makarov.

[jodgi]

Thanks for the pointer

And then we'll be back to submarines. I want both of those in the game.

The only issue with submarines, and it's something I've noticed with the boxed games, is the amount of time required for the cat and mouse between the submarine and destroyer. Making the attack is cool, but how about the 3 or 4 hours trying to escape? I suppose with a human in control of the destroyer it might be a bit less boring on the submarine. $.02

"With pixel shaders you can do a lot of really neat special effects. One of them you saw [in the demo] that was done with pixel shaders is the new tracer effect. They have little spirals to their trails when you fire your guns."


Awesome! I loved this effect in IL-2 . Glad they are implementing it.

This interview was done at the Con in July so it's not exactly new news, even though it was only published today by Wargamer.

WG: That's about all I had. I'd ask you, "how soon?" but you'd tell me, "two weeks" so I won't bother.

LOL

Agree BH.   But don't go away.  Someone will be along shortly to inform you unpolitley just what an ungrateful curr you are and how you should be humbly bowed upon one knee chanting praise and scripture for having gotten anything at all.

Sweet...if the first person shooter stuff is implemented, i would like to see it be similiar to "Call of Duty" As far as things like ironsights and shellshock go:D


Anyway, this is awesome...great news..

Oh yeah and by the way..just noticed these new smiles
