Pyro let slip that Patch 8 is the last before a new version of AH2, and that the new version is close to release.
Soooo... what's the new version got?
I vote for the return of sheep and hills. :noid

CT. I'd stake Wilbur's life on it.

Poor Wilbur. HTC canceled CT a while back.

Oh lord, here we go.

i'm with von 2 weeks

New version will have what HTC felt like putting in there. So until it comes out, just shut up, wait and enjoy what you DO have. :D

"There's a new patch available that fixes a film viewer compatibility problem that was keeping it from running. This should hopefully do it for the patches until the next version which is not very far away. "
-
2 weeks.......
Don't they have to come out with a patch to fix the 2 week glitch first????????
-
Hmm, that's quite a leap from what Pryo said and "...what's the new version got?".
-
Well, if they feel there is a reason for a new version so soon there must obviously be something wrong with the version we have now.
What are they not telling us? Am I safe playing the current version? Toyota all over again?

2 weeks.......
Yup. 2 weeks for sure.

I think the "New Version" pyro refers to is like a major release. Where HiTech Creations spends all it's time developing and testing the major release and then spends all it's time pushing out fixes to the last major release in the form of patches, until they have their next major release ready to go. or at least that's how it appears to work.....

How did you figure that out?
-
Small hills for GVs coming back & H2H-type play are slotted for future release (straight from HT) but it's hard to say if they are part of the next major release. Hopefully AI for AvA & special events will be coming sometime also.
-
I don't think the question of when is the issue, but...
WHAT'S IN THE NEW VERSION?
-
Well, as the new version has not shipped yet, I would have to say there is nothing in it at the moment. :)
Tell you what. When we ship it, we will tell you what is it then. How's that? That work for you? Works for me, considering that is when I find out what is in a new version. :neener:

I think the new damage model that has been in testing in the WW1 arena will be pushed to the WW2 main arenas in the new version update as well as new margarita blenders to replace the aging blenders S.A.P.P currently has in the P-38s.

the patch is for the film viewer untill the next version of the film viewer is released, thats how it sounds to me, could be wrong, I havent heard of any beta testing for a game update so it has to be the new viewer

NEW STUFF! Maybe, it could also be old stuff that's been redone, or old stuff we've never seen. :noid

Not according to Pyro.
-
Well, if you are talking about the patch released today, that is different. He was asking about the "new version", which is not a patch.
For clarification.
A new version would be 2.19.
A new patch would be 2.18 Patch X (where X is an incremented integer value).

Maybe we'll be getting some motorbikes with sidecars. That way 30+ players will have 1 troop in the sidecar apiece and make base captures even more fun. Lots more targets to strafe.

Nice substitution NEW for NEXT!.... A new version to me would be AH3... everything else is just an addon to the old game.

This is AH3, your just getting it a piece at a time as they finish it. :)

It already is. Have you not noticed the revised damage screen listing? There are also new levels of damage like individual H-stabs being shot off.
That is already "pushed to the WW2 arenas" -- we've got it!
What they might do from this point and into the future is to add new things to incorporate that new damage, but it might be only on a new-development basis. Meaning, they might add more wing panels to blow off (instead of just "tip" and "wing" and "full wing"), but it wouldn't apply to the older non-updated models. <-- doubt that's in the works, but it's a thought.
-
I would bet we'll see a redone WWII unit or two, brought up to the WWI damage detail level.
Crossing my fingers for the Mossie, but more realistically expecting the A6Ms or Bf110s to be the next on the modernization list due to higher usage.
We might get small hills back for the GVers too.
-
Yup. 2 weeks for sure.
two weeks from now? tomorrow? or two weeks two weeks from now? :D

No, that's unique to the WWI planes. They are unique in their construction and that will not spread over to WW2 planes. When discussing needing to skin secondary "damage" parts on WW2 skins in the future, this was the reply.
-

You misunderstand me. I mean the tracking of more damage points and damage states, not graphics.

Is it maybe because the damage states are pretty much there graphically? Surface damage is already reflected graphically isn't it? It just doesn't affect flight characteristics.

No, we don't have the full damage system in the WW2 arenas that is being tested in the WW1 arena. The only thing that has been carried over currently is the exploding pilot when you score a pilot kill, indvidual damage to horizontal stabilizers. We don't have the other damage like surface damage, etc.

Ack-Ack... I think we currently HAVE it. I just don't think it shows up unless specifically built into new planes. So the damage model is there, but all of the planes in WW2 are too old to make use of it.
I'm thinking all the code is there, it's just that nothing "plugs in" to that code yet.
Wiley: I don't do WW1 much (not my schtick), but from what I've read I thought that surface damage added drag and/or loss of lift? That is, it's not just graphical.

Usagewise, the top three AH 1.x units that need upgrading to AH2 standards are:
1) Panzer IV H
2) Tiger I
3) Lancaster Mk III

It's obviously coming out tomorrow because I have four days off.....right?

M-18
He-111
Beaufighter
IN THAT ORDER

Nah - controlled releases are always on Wednesdays. (Or should be)

I would think with the Wirb chassis that the pzr4 is high on the list of "easy updates," so I'd bet it's going to be in the next update (or, the "next update that releases updated vehicles").
Lancaster has a lot of use for its bomb load, but there are still a lot of folks flying B-26s, Ki67s, and a bunch of the older models. We know that bombers take more time because they are more involved. What's the most used fighter with a 1.0 3D model?
I'm placing my bet here: I'm going to say Panzer, A6M zeroes, and F4Fs (that's in order of "Good bet, good guess, and just plain wishing")

[purespeculation]
With the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain coming up this year, I think it's only appropriate that we get the HE-111 and DO-17.
[/purespeculation]
-
Drone, you bomber dweeb, you!! :banana:
I was thinking of re-modeled existing planes, rather than "new planes" -- which traditionally take a lot more time and we usually get sneak peeks towards the end. None of that so far, so I limited myself to refurbished models only.
-
I never hope for remodeled eye-candy. I'd rather have the different planes that can be used for events.. then, after all the planes are done, go back and make them look pretty.

See, here's the rub...you don't get what you want. As a member of S.A.P.P and a senior ranking member of The Consortium of 12, there are certain privileges that come with being a member of such an elitist and prestigious organization that I get to enjoy. One of these privileges is having specially modified and customized P-38s that are not available to the peons...err I mean the regular customers.

And yet I am having more fun in there than I ever had in any of the main arenas. Great thing about that arena is it only takes 8 to 10 players to make it fun.

8- 10 is fun, 20 can be a total hoot.
But it does help to have your head on right.
