Looks like a fly on the wall :)

    Good luck stauing gone. I couldnt. WW2OL is fun in some ways but I have a feeling you wont enjoy the air as much. Most times the plane you want just isnt there for ya.

WWIIOL, the game that could have been and then wasn't.

Remember such quotes from the 'rats' as "we'll have 100,000 online simultaniously!"

Then they sold 100,000 copies on opening day and the servers buckled.  Yes, I was there.

After that they were lucky to attract a few thousand... then a few hundred.

Enjoy your new game, if you can find someone to shoot.

You can whine about younger players all day.   If Lan leaves, there will be 5 little freshies in the MA tomorrow.

Whats wrong with having some youth around anyways?  This doesn't include the regular group of 5 that spams 200 with crap. (WindX,Viper215, ect...)
Besides wetrat, I always knew you had a thing for dlamb.;)

Good luck in ww2ol Lan!

I'd rather be on AH2 than WWIIOL. Of course, I'm waiting for my $$$ to come in.

WWIIOL is plagued with bugs, horrible, horrible fps (don't even try to do ground attacks with aircraft) and the totally un-fun gameplay.

LOL have fun in WW2ol. If youre going there thinking they have a better game as far as a flight sim goes you're going to be pretty disapointed.

Post by: gatt on January 18, 2006, 02:25:39 AM
I agree with Morph here. I understand those who leave AH2 for WW2OL to search for a better tank sim. But, as far as the air fighting is concerned, oh my! BTW, posting here that you'are leaving for another named online sim says it all ...

If you want to try a WW2 flight sim,  there is only one place you want to go.

FB+AEP+PF  (forgotten battles with all the updates) is the only ww2 flight simulation right now. Nothing comes close to it.

nah, il2 flight model sucks, and the gunnery is terrible too. if it had better physics it would be far better, and of course the small amount of online players mean its nowhere near AH, and once ToD or 'CT' comes out, HT and crew can work on updating graphics, and then, AH will be untouchable

And as evidence of this you post a shot of an expermental aircraft that was tested in active service very briefly, then withdrawn as a failure? Riiight....

Ouch!! That had to hurt.

As for that screen shot, it is pretty horrible. Those prop discs on the B...(what is it? a B29?Seems to have domes on the top, but I'm not sure. Maybe an experimental American bomber that took part in "forgotten battles of WWII":rolleyes: Can't tell!!) are way poor. Plus those forgotten battles are so forgotten that history tells us they never infact happened.;)  
The thing is that when you start calling games WWII this and WWII that, you really need to stick to authentic planes and scenarios, like Combat Tour will hopefully do.

LOL people who have never played il2/PF always TRY to slam it... personally I like the plane selection/FM, sure its harder than AH but it looks better and plays a bit more realistic.

But I stay at AH because my squad is still here and will stay here til they decide to move as we did from AW to WB to here.... the next big thing could be right around the corner.

TW shows a bit of promise, it isnt really a game yet but it is getting there!

Why would you want that?  There would go your easy kills and all you'd have to do is squelch him so you don't hear his little teenage whines.

Dunno I bought FB, played it for maybe 10-20 times, tried 3 times online and haven't touched it after that. AH I still play actively.

Could have something to do with FB needing twice the displaycard power and over 1Gb of ram to be playable.

Well after 2 weeks of playing WWII online, i can say that the flying part is the same, if not more realistic. The ground war cannot be compared to any of the first person shooters out there, it just plain rocks. WWII online is the best game i have ever played. Aces High II is the past, its the next to last thing i think about. I AM NOT COMING back. For once the 15$ a month is worth it this time, WWII online is just plain fun. If you disagree then check it out urself, alot has changed since the new WWII online version came out a few months ago. Better graphics, More Steady FPS. And speaking of FPS my frame rate in there is higher than in Aces High. In AH i was around 29 FPS, In WWIIOL im at 35-40.

Post by: SuperDud on January 28, 2006, 08:43:53 PM
I'm sure he's going to say "great" but that's because he is now pushing an agenda. Also, keep in mind he hasn't been playing WW2 online for very long so he is a noob. Remember when you 1st started here and it was all neat and new? Same thing is happening to him now. I'd like to hear from him in 6 months or a year and then I'd respect his opinion more. On top of that, I tried WW2OL about 2 years ago, I gave it about 3-5 months of my time.... IMO it sucked. Long periods of boredom trying to get to a fight and then what we call "spawn campers" in this game are the norm there. No one was very friendly in the help department. Not to say they were rude just talking to, but they didn't go much out of their way to help. Also, the air aspect of the game is terrible! I've played many flight sims in my day and it is truely 1 of if not THE worst. As for the ground war aspect I think it's pretty good although battlefeild and others would rank higher IMO.

Lan, it's good to that you found a game you enjoy. But coming back here and preaching what you are is very insulting to HTC. I wouldn't be surprised to see threads like this locked soon.

Just a couple days ago I talked with a guy who returned to AH from WW2OL. He said the planes are all modeled to hell there, for example if you touch the rudder of a 109 it begins to wobble constantly after that. Had something to do with removing an invisible third wing from the flightmodel. :D

He said (and this comes from a guy who played WW2OL 2 years straight with no AH account) that AH gameplay feels like heaven after the bugs and quirks of WW2OL.

To be fair he also praised the general concept, the fun landfights etc. but we both agreed that WW2OL was a staggering concept destroyed only by poor implementation.

Flying on WWII Online is more realistic? Yeah, right. The flight on that game is like flying on Tribes 2 or Battlefield.

There aren't nearly enough people on WWII Online to make it worthwhile. The only really interesting part is when you get a group of tanks to assault an enemy base.

Enough with the idiotic whining. If you suck at a realistic flight sim, leave it at that and be done with it. WWII Online was a flop when it was released, and it hasn't gotten much better.
