Guys...some great stuff is now live in AH2...and so far...it's great!
Now, I'm not sure about this, but I thought I read that CVs now burn when hit.
I tried to test it last night but the CV went to the bottom with one 500lb bomb....(bug).
Then I Straffed the destroyers!!! Get this...I knocked out 2 gun positions on one destroyer!!!
Totally F***** Cool!!!!
And this is the stuff I did in the first 30 minutes!!!!
Do yourself a favor, check it out.

i would but i got a suckie computer
dell dimesion 2400 2.4ghz 128mb 32bit 3d graphics card i download ah2 i cliked on offline my comp lock uped had to reset does anybody know what kind of graphics card i need to boost my frame rates and to play ah2:confused:
-
EEEEEEEEEk !!! anouther Del demension ..... thats 2 in one day LOL.
Yea Run out and get yourself a good 128mb or better card
FX5200 is the cheap card 50-70
the FX 5600 or 5700 are 100-150
the ATI 9600 / pro are 120-150
You could get away with a 40-45 dollar GF 4 mx 440 but thats really not much improvement and will cause more of a bottleneck .
-
yep, jet your just a decent vid card and a bit of RAM from being good to go, bout 150$
and if ya are worried bout puttin the card and memory in,
just have a place like Best buy or a friend do it
-
thnx guys i will do that

Its coming along fast and its great to see 50 up during the day in there.
Going to be tougher to sneak fields now.
A lanc formation with perfect aim was quite a bit short of being able to kill all the city.
I think it will take a minimum of about 10 loaded F6f's to cap & kill one.
No more slip in a single A20, tiffy, 110 to knock it all down & wait for the troops.

I wonder how this will affect the gameplay? I hope and think it will be better, but I'm a little scared it will promote hordes.

Jet,
Have you upgraded your version of Direct X to DirectX9??
I ran AH2 on my parts box yesterday
CPU: AMD 1.1ghz
RAM: 196mb
Sound: onboard
Video: Gforce devasator 32mb
It worked fine and I was getting Frames around 45-55 fps.
DX 9 is required, and adding a stick of RAM and a better Video Card will help alot.

Looks like it has not AGP slot so you may have to buy a PCI craphics adapter.
For example this: http://www.pny.com/products/verto/geForceFx/5200pci.asp (http://www.pny.com/products/verto/geForceFx/5200pci.asp)
I dont have a glue where to buy things in USA but here is something...

Yeah some of the new damage modelling and effects are really nice, I hit a P47 yesterday in the forward fuselodge, a decent hit with my .50 cals and I started him smoking. I passed him looped up and over and came down on again, as I passed him the second time I saw that I had set his engine on fire. I'd never seen a P47 burn for any reason prior to this. :)
I still have a couple issues with AH2 but I must say I'm pretty excited about seeing what the future has in store.

Fry's has pretty good deals every week. I purchased my vid card there when my other card fried. If you get the paper they always have specials in there. But first check to see if your running DirectX9.

Jet,
To check your version of DirectX
Hit the Start Button, and click Run
Type ( dxdiag ) in the Run box and hit enter
This will bring up a window with alot of information. It will tell you your basic system info, but It will also tell you your version of DirectX . Anything less than 9 and you will need to get an update.

You gotta look for their sales but I just bought a 9800-Pro 128 for $175 at Fry's, and it is DX9 certified.

Every time you up an La7, an angel gets its wings clipped.
:rofl
man then heaven must surely be the next big market for Dr. Schols - I've clipped a lot of wings.

Just hope that you don't have the Dell that has the integrated vid accelerator like I do. 9 month old computer, that won't let you turn the integrated video off, so you can add another card. The video accelerator sucks.
Dells response to my complaints about not being able to shut off the video accelerator........."we can sell you a new motherboard and processor !!!"
I love the game, but I will be out of luck when AHII becomes active.

You have only a 32mb vid card? And it works ok? There's hope for me yet. I cancelled my account a few weeks ago, but I may resub. to play AH2...that is, if my wife will let me. (P/W'd, and proud of it:D )
