Title: Not Much Aircraft To ask for
Post by: Alpha202 on February 28, 2008, 09:06:49 AM
Well I think there is no or hardly any craft I can request, I've looked around
Search but I always find what im looking for in a wishlist. Maybe im nuts but
I didn't see any I could ask, my question is:
Should I still focus on aircraft or look at ships/boats, gvs?

Just a question, but why do you feel you MUST ask for more planes? HTC has always been very good about adding planes and vehicles without any ones input. I'm just curious.

That's HTC's plan Alpha, they've said so themselves explicitly in the past.

Im still waitin for that big beautiful BUFF B-29 without any of that nuke nonsense. Just a 20,000 LB loadout they could restrict it to the 163 fields since they werent known for their verticle climb rate and it would take awhile to get to a decent alt to drop anyway. perk it like a AR-234 :aok

Dogfighting.  In airships.  I can hear the whining now when all those K ships start HOing each other.

Maybe not request anymore vehicles or aircraft but development of new features in terrain, weather or better damage modelling etc?

IMO the terrain improvement last time was a very good step and the trees and stuff made the GVing more fun.

+1 for the terrain..

its becoming more and more dated looking.. especially with the new models and such..  

terrain needs a face lift..  not so much in textures.. the trees and all that stuff are good, its that everything is so angular that kills it..

needs to be smoother.

sheep need bells.

:aok :rofl   YES!!!






Alpha202, if you think it'll be a good addition to the game, or you just want to see it added, then post for it in the wishlist forums. Better do it now before it's too late! HiTech is granting more wishes now than ever!

There's a pantload of stuff yet to be added!

The current plane set barely scratches the surface of all the aircraft used by all combatants in WWII. There's enough there for about 150 years worth of additions.

Sheep shouldn't stop 30 ton tanks. They should get run over and squished.

NO... The wishlist (IMHO) is not so people can figure out what HT might have missed. The wishlist is where folks can post a plane that they truely would like to fly on a regular basis. Anything else being posted there just muddies the water.

Terrain and graphics? Who cares? It's all eye candy. The only time I'm worried about terrain is when I'm smacking into it. Give us more AC and GVs. How bout some Blohm und Voss asymetric AC? Those things crack me up and would be a hoot.

Game play rules. How bout some convoy actions with Subs and destroyer escourts? How bout artillery? You could shell a base from a sector away. This could end up being the everymans WWII sim.

if i could put the AH2 FM in IL2graphics engine i would never leave the house..

even if your the strictest tactician, purist who sees this game more as a chess match than a flight sim.  you still get a tickle watching the enemy go down in flames..

its almost like some people think its not "cool" ( :rolleyes:  ) to admit they like a little eye candy.


admit it or not, graphics are important.

If you saw a screenshot from AH with smooth rolling hills, a better sun, a horizon that.. is a horizon :huh  and even some MINOR upgrades to the textures used for the ground pattens..  at first I bet you wouldent recognize the game.

When I'm in a rolling dogfight I couldn't care less about ground detail. If I had time to just fly around and look at the scenery I suppose I'd just be pathetic. Yeah, a certain level of detail beyond mere polygons is needed but to have this huge graphics engine that needs a zillion gigazapers to run is silly when I suspect a good portion of our players are still on dialup.

Give us game play and some variety. And yes, I'm sure there are other games much more graphically advanced than this. You are more than welcome to engage in one of those. I've played games that were graphically very nice but played like crap.

considering your score I would guess You hate the terrain so much because you see so much of it under poor circumstances.

don't hate the terrain, it didnt kill you.. well.. I guess in a way it did.. but.. I mean..  it didnt do it on purpose.

Eye candy is ok, but I have no problem dumping the candy to keep playability. For me its all in the fight, and that what I'm after, so ya give us more planes, and GVs to keep that crowd happy, but eye candy is pretty low on the list.

You got to remember, all of us "old guys" come from Green=land, Dark Blue= water, and Light Blue= sky, thats pretty much all we had and we were happy with it.

My mommy and daddy won't buy me a new computer to run all these fancy eye candy upgrades ( they are both retired and on a fixed income), and I can't afford it because I'm too busy spoiling the crap out of my kids.

Barrage Ballons over cities/factories.   me110 city flattening hoardes would have to first remove balloons before taking out ack.....resulting in more time for ack to thin the crowd out making city capture more difficult

pleasing graphics and good playability are not mutually exclusive

You got to remember, "old guys" wont keep this game running forever, and any prospective new players may be turned away before even giving it half a chance, seeing antiquated graphics and moving without a second thought.  antiquated graphics being par 10 years ago is hardly an excuse for them to remain. (referring to the angular terrain, not the textures)
