   The sky...the planes streaming fire and smoke, the shattered structures burning instead of just a column of fire, so much..great job!

The really great thing about this release is that it is probably just a glimpse of what is to come.

I'm really impressed..incredible job HTC.

I like the new hitsprites...I turned my tracers back on for the 1st time in years!  

PS: and the new fire effects. Nice stuff!

Agreed the "feel" of this virtual world we play in has improved significantly, colours(lighting?), horizons, clouds etc all seemed to have been tweaked very much for the better.

Love the clouds

I flew over some farm scape and wondered if the tree/bush object layout had been upgraded?

Engine exhaust and tyre effects are neat.........

I have trouble spotting the enemy so I dont notice the shell casings!

just waiting for some beaches!

Judging by the screenies and such, it seems it's worth investing a couple bucks every month ;) Looks like things have progressed well since the initial release of AH2.

Can't wait to put this new version to the test when we bombard the MA with tonights event.

WTG HT et al.

LOL.  The program is faulting on my computer (get bounced to the desk top).  I don't seem to be alone.

I can't say enough about the new version. Even with my old card, I only lost about 15-20FPS, but the effects are incredible. It's killing my gunnery, but I love it. Great job HTC.

Nice work done on the eye candy, visual extras and overall smoothing out of things.

I popped in recently on a borrowed acct to see what all the hipe was about. Not saying I'm going to run out and reopen an acct, but it's nice to see the game not staying in a stalemate.

One thing that might be a consideration to add or re-work would be some kind of weather effects. I've heard this brought up many times in the game and in the forums.
Seems no matter what time you log in to play, it's always sunny bright with a couple of white clouds?
I remember in AH1 there was not only night time, but cloudy overcast, almost dark rainy looking weather at times. Just a nice change once in a while over bright sunny light 24hrs day.

Nice job so far on the rest:aok

p.s. still disappointed you haven't added the Wirbelwind and Sherman, maybe next patch huh

The new 38s may make a Lightning driver out of me yet. Other than that.... FIRE!!! heh heh heh fire.

Just a warning: If somebody's on your 6, I may let you die just so I can see more fire.

I really like the cirrus cloud layer in that it gives a sense of speed when flying close to or through it.   Almost made me wish for contrails from the engine exhaust and wingtips.

Nice work HTC.
