is that a new target area I see in one of those shots of the half-trak? (the buildings)
let's make some omelets =)
-
Those buildings are in the terrain right now. There used in the cities and HQ's.

I wonder is the halftrack visible from 5000 feet?
-
The 109 is real pretty, wish I could fly those things. I especially want the one with 10,000 rounds of MG and 1,500 rounds of cannon. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Are those .50's on the half track?

So how do you get the thing off the ground. The wings look very short. And that landing gear is way overmodeled.
-
Pyro,
Will these new M-16 beasts have "realistic" targeting algorithms or will they inherit the laser-like killer qualities of the field ack?
Just curious ...

Nice work guys,
Looks great but how will it fit into the sim? I mean will we be able to drive it, man the guns what?

You can drive and you can shoot. You can also have a driver and a gunner, sounds like fun no?

Good start on the vehicles, add about 4" or armour, add a turret, and give us an 88, I'll bet dollars to donuts you'll have droves knocking at the door!

The front view in the 109 cockpit looks a helluva lot better than before! Congratulations. Please continue with the cockpit upgrades & reworks.

Still wishing they'd go with "as historically accurate as they can get them" cockpits...

Beautiful graphics on the gun carriage guys. Now I know you want to concentrate on them planes.. but if you want, spend a few spare hours on making some more vehicles (mannable), maybe a big transport to move em and you will have to lock the doors to keep the hordes away (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Imagine this:
DAY 0 - # users 500 - flying around happily
DAY 1 (halftrack) - # users 600 - flying around.. shooting down planes very happy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
DAY 2 (infantry) - # users 700 - flying around, shooting planes, attacking fields extremely happy
DAY 3 (tanks!) - # users 800 -> (inform other *cough* *wwIIo* forums) - # users 10000 - so damn happy I can't describe it

M16 quad .50s ... not 20mm's? Hmmm (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Very interesting ... Il-2 looking very nice.
Nice work, HTC.

Very, Very nice HT and team (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
When are they comin' when are they comin'??... Hey at least I don't bother HT in the arena with 'WHEN' questions (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Keep it up guys (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
I don't think they like to answer those questions of when. I shore hope they set 'em loose in the next week though; it'd help me make my decision. Sky and bombsight should be comin' down the pipe too. Sometime.
Wouldn't that be swell?

Now gives reason for Jabo (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I can see an armoured division getting trapped in the canyons, And then death from above diving in on the trapped horde.
Aluminum impacting on canyon walls..shearing wings off..50cal slugs ripping up and dashing plane and pilot to the cold hard ground. Fountains of smoke and flame erupting from disintegrating steel coffins. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I can feel the hate surging forth now as we await the new arrivals from HTC.
ps. The moment they arrive, I'm in as a subscriber.

Ping, add to that:
"We had the canyon lined up with machine gun nests, as they dove on our "decoys" we opened up, the sky filled with parachutes...just then, shadows approached our column,someone hollared "B26's!!", bombs started to find there mark on the vehicles...I started to panick, put my vehicle in reverse, and went over the edge of the canyon without a parachute!".....
Man, I can't wait!

Just a quick question. If we get vehicles, will there soon be roads going from base to base?

Bloom, I'm going out on a limb and say that there probably wouldn't be since most of these vehicles are off-road ready and the fact that we most likely will still have the map key enabled for navigation.

Saw something interesting.
There is a bit of sky gradiant evident in the 109 picture.
Could someone else (HTC) confirm this?

-
I'm not really sure if we're going to do roads as of yet because you'll be a nice target on the ground if you're on a road. I don't think anyone would want to use them for that reason. Also, yes, HT has now implemented a sky gradient.

Very true, I see your point guys. You are probably right, but then again it would add a touch of realism. If we had roads, I would probably hide just off to the side of them and shoot at any passing planes looking for easy prey. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
(Sky gradient looks good too, but what I really want *need* is those 10000rds of machine gun and 1500rds of cannon. Can you say 50 kill sortie. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) )
Great work HTC!
