IMO, let me repeat, IMO, the only thing that WB's has up on AH is their historical maps and their radar.

Any other AH folks want to add what they think the competition has on AH?

AH planeset is still missing a lot of planes.

RPS is far superior to perk system.

And the inflight radar really spoils AH arenas for me.

Check it out and rate your flight sim's chicks.  3 categories of women to choose from.  I have sponsored this site and I need web hits in order to run it.  Otherwise my sponsors will drop my site

1. Spitfire HF.Mk.IX with Merlin 71 engine (Excellent high alt performance)
2. Spitfre XIV (even though the FM is an abomination)
3. Early war aircraft
4. More historical terrains....Norway in Hostile Shores was a masterpiece !!! <S> to the team that created it  

Ripsnort, regarding radar, I don't see how WB radar is better (or less worse) then AH.
Is it the sector bars you are talking about ?
IMO, radar should be modelled to include LOS limitations, i.e. whenever the LOS (Line Of Site) between your aircraft and the radar stations is obscured, your dot should be invisible. This should normally happen If you are flying in a valley or have a hill or mountain range in your area.

   Just messing with ya Rip, But Fa does have better looking chicks and More Japanese planes.  Ki-84's Ki61-100 Jack.  Planeset is the one thing AH is missing.  And correctly modeled german weapons

The reason I left plane set out, is because its just a matter of time, that is "in work", and it took WB's at LEAST 2.5 years (maybe more?) to get the number they have now.  This sim was released in beta a year and a half ago, its well ahead of its former WB's for adding planes...so in summary, Planes are OTW.

A lil bird told me ETO *might* be ready for this weekends Snapshot event. <G>

Philippines and a couple of others aren't far behind it.

That's not fair, Ripsnort. Apples to Apples. You are not drawing a point on what will AH be in 2.5 years, but what is it now.

On the WB-AH comparison, I quite agree with your points. I would add planeset (altho, as you point, help is on the way) and offline mode, and, MOST important, Htc.'s responsiveness to client's voice.

Last one is, probably, the Key point that makes the difference and, being important as it is today, It will be more, as competition arises, and planeset etc. will move each sim closer to the other.

I think I like more AH's FM, Damage, Bullet & Terrains (not for the diversity, but for the possibilities).

On the respective communities, It's been a long time since I left WB, but I would say AH is evolving into what WB was. I feel it's less & less friendly as time goes by. Not that I'm worried, and I think is natural evolution from the bunch of sim nuts flying beta to the massive mega player that this thing points to.

Cheers,

Pepe

Don't tease me like that, you ever go up to a lion's cage and hold a steak in front of the cage?

I thought RPS was better than Perk, and enjoyed surprise NOE attacks.

Didn't care for RPS (for MAIN arena stuff) but LOVED the NOE surprise attacks.
