Title: Has anyone noticed the new cv hangar and o'club?
Post by: acepilot2 on November 08, 2003, 05:33:12 PM
they look AWESOME...

also, I was shooting a drone with new tracers...it looks SO much like ww2 guncam now.

I had my doubts about details in the first beta, but now with rolling wheels, shadows, and probably a lot more to come, I am itching to try the final version of ah2.

Once again, good work HTC:aok

come on... we know the heart of the matter is the new FM and DM.. and a side of gfx improvements.
Maybe we'll see damage effects as well made for the GVs as we've seen on the con's demo P51D wing.

wheels on gv's roll and turn offline in AH, but not online (might be external view related).  dunno if AH2 will be the same.

now if they'd only get around to making the tracks articulated as well.

I know, I agree...the heart of the matter is that, i just wanted to point out the new cv hagnar though.  I am really hoping for better damage effects similiar to CFS2....the damage effects in that game were incredibly realistic.

and for the gv wheels rolling, i mean plane wheel rolling.

some details/effects I would like to see in the future are folding wings, opening/closing canopys during bailouts, and exhaust fumes from the engine when it starts up.

And uh...bailouts in general need to be improved.

really easy to be taken the wrong way by text... I didn't say it in contradiction of what you said, just a bit anxious to see the new flight and damage models..

yes i know... i was just comparing to what already exists and wondering whether it would still only remain a visual in external, and hence offline,  view...  you don't see enemy gv (or future plane) wheels rolling while online as ur not in external view.

Rumor has it that HT is considering renaming it AH-TL-SL (Aces High-Tanks Low-Subs Lower).

I'm not lying.

Though the rumor may have been started by me.

Right this minute.

The idea behind multiplayer games is that they expand, aces high has expanded to a ww2 war game, deal with it.

And anyway, if you don't like gvs don't drive them, and fly higher than nose bleed height.

missing my point...

was twofold.. sarcastic @ shane and concerned that time that could be well spent working on planes (the center of the game in its design) is being spent on making GV's look flashy.

dont get me wrong, i love doing a ostwind blitz into a base and such... i just would hope HTC finished all the planes first before they started working on the tanks.


oh well another lame thought by yours truly.
