Title: pull ah2 beta 33 out of oven it's done!
Post by: Citabria on May 18, 2004, 06:48:11 PM

needs salt and maybe some gravy but its ready for the MA on my PC.

others seem to still be having some stutter issues and i still have some gfx issues but everything else is looking great.

as much as i like complaining about miniscule stuff that needs changing there is nothing framerate or stutterwise or any major graphics problems that are show stoppers.

the ack screams in at you very fast (much more realistic acording to a vietnam f4 phantom RIO i was talking to while playing ah1 a while ago. he said the stuff flew in at you very fast. ah2 seems to capture that feeling)

everything in ah2 seems to happen faster, the ground comes up fast when you dive and it zooms by very quickly at low alt for good groundrush.

the icons are great! makes you look at the plane to get distance info instead of trusting the icon which is not as accurate, very cool. I didnt notice the icons and plane dots fading into the fog as i was in very clos ein fights will have to look next time im closing on out of icon range dot.

gunnery is hard!! I made no long range shots and it takes careful aiming and lead to hit the rapidly maneuvering and moving enemy aircraft now. when you think your close enough get closer saying works well in ah2 gunnery when you want to get hits.

cv takeoffs seem easier and the climbout for the f4u looks like old black and white war footage when you look back over the tail and see the cv drop away below you when using default zoom.

my favorite plane now is the 109g6. it looks awsome and flies great and has 5 extra taters to lob at enemy dweebs. :D

I agree, fantastic stuff, and it runs VERY well for me, even with my crappy old Gforce 3 card.
