and the nuke

HiTech has stated no bombs over 4,000 pounds. Nuke ways over 10,000 pounds. don't get your hopes up but it would be cool if we had a bomb the same size, shape etc. as a nuke that did 4,000 pounds of damage.

Two U.S. Sherman Tank models, an updated Mossie, hills(probably), and that's about all I know.

Their baaackkkkkk.

Not really, I would imagine updating all our planes to the new damage model would take some time(I may be wrong). To see it come out one version after WWI just seemed like a surprise and I was wondering if there was any credence to the claim. Updating just a few of them seems unfair though, as it would give an advantage to the older style damage model I would think.

Fixing a tree's alpha image on the other hand should be a walk in the park.

No, Ack-Ack is pulling people's legs.  He also left out the small hills that HiTech showed shots of.

The key thing on Ack-Ack's list that reveals it for what it is are the new P-38s.

its close though... H2H is supposed to be shortishlist from what ive heard... and Airflyer, the new damage is being tested in the WWI arena. they are using it just for that reason along with new graphics styles. They are slowly incorporating these into the WWII arenas

That's a false claim. It may not be the next one, but it will be one of them.

Currently AH is in version 2.18 patch 8. Why would they need to jump to 2.20? 2.19 is the next major patch, and version 2.18 patch 9 will be the next minor patch.

Post by: Krusty on April 28, 2010, 07:01:05 PM
Anything where they change the code is "an update"

Some folks really try to nitpick terminology, but usually contrary to most software lingo out there.

Anything is an update. However HTC decides to number it "is this 2.18 p9? Or do we go to 2.19?" is up to them, but it's still a patch either way. It patches your existing installation to include new code and content.

A new VERSION would be so totally different as to require a full reinstallation (such as AH 2.0 compared to the previous AH 1.x version it replaced). Similar to comments about future "AH3" and whatnot.

But then grammatically speaking, the version (lowercase spelling to differentiate previous use of word) of AH can still be updated with a patch... <-- you can see how the words have multiple meanings and folks pick and choose what meanings they want to emphasize to try and nitpick the topic to death.

It's not the first time.



[EDIT: This is all in relation to how HTC does it. You might see variation in terminology in other games]

WAYYYYY back in the day when i was in my early 20s. My best friend and I (building music studios) worked 38 hours non stop. Of course we took breaks and ate. We had some "assistance" but still pulled it off. Ended up sleeping in the truck that next day in the parking lot because we were too sleepy to drive back home. I will NEVER put my body through that again.
Title: Re: 2.19
Post by: PJ_Godzilla on April 30, 2010, 04:44:21 AM
Voice of experience... I don't pull crap like that either any more. NO MORE ALL-NIGHTERS - unless I'm really enjoying myself.  Nor will I ever again fail to buy the A Class parking permit, should I find myself back at a Pac-10 school that offers one.

I didn't, on the calculus that, given that parking tickets were $11 each and a permit was $240, I could "spend" 21 tickets and still come out ahead. Throughout the year (a long time ago), I did exactly that, "spending" 21 tickets like a basketballer spends fouls. Had I paid those tickets promply,  I guess it still would've worked out.

I didn't, though, and the fine and late fee on each reached $25. My plan was now in the red and the tickets weren't paid. I went to court and argued, credibly, that I was but a poor grad student and couldn't afford the $525 fine. The judge ( a nice-looking AfAm woman with whom I got the "eye-thing" going) had mercy and reduced the fine on the spot to $210 and gave me two months to pay. My plan was back in the black to the tune of $30 a year after I'd spent my first foul. Had I paid that fine within the two months allotted, I guess everything would've been peachy-f***ing-keen.

I didn't, though, and was unpleasantly surprised to find, one fine day, some 21 bench warrants in my mailbox. Each bench warrant had taken the late fine of $25 and multiplied it by 10. I was now looking at total parking fines of $5250 - putting my original plan over $5000 in the red. I cast about for options. I called the court to get the facts. I could turn myself in. That would've resulted in jail time since $5k was the threshold at that time. I could've bought a bail bond at 10% to avoid such an eventuality. Meh. I didn't like that option. Instead, I chose the last option - writing a letter to request an audience with the court. My request was granted within weeks. I was given a court date. I showed up. The judge (a sympathetic man witha good Irish name) didn't want to hear my story but, after making me wait to the end of the docket, knocked the fine down to a total of $180 and told me to expect no future consideration should I fail to pay it .

I wrote a check that day and walked out, 2 years after the fact, with a $60 saving on my original plan.

The last time I got a parking ticket here in Ann Arbor, I paid it within the time allotted. Screw that crap.

I want a new late war monster to play around with.

Yak3.
A-26.
B-29.
Spitfire Mk.21.
Meteor.
Spitfire Mk. XII.

Will it make you feel better if I tell you the Mosquito VI in the configuration we are getting will out run a Spitfire Mk XII and would eat A-26s for lunch in air-to-air combat?

WAYYYYY back in the day when i was in my early 20s. My best friend and I (building music studios) worked 38 hours non stop. Of course we took breaks and ate. We had some "assistance" but still pulled it off. Ended up sleeping in the truck that next day in the parking lot because we were too sleepy to drive back home. I will NEVER put my body through that again.

The British army routinely practised the 72 hr war, believing that 72 hrs was the maximum that a soldier was expected to be able to operate efficiently, and/or still be alive in a Warsaw Pact style conflict. I once did an 84 hr radio stag in a tank, 4 nights and 3 days, with the addition of benzadrine and caffeine. I only left the vehicle to find a bush. At the end i repeatedly dropped my pencil, even when concentrating on holding it, and could barely speak coherently

I can relate, especially doing anything creative. I used to really like 'assistance'   :noid

And what was recovery like? Was it 8 hours of sleep and two days of total depression?

I figured they'd stopped the use of amphetamines in the military but apparently figured wrong. I can understand their indispensability but the aftereffect had to be hell.

Actually i found it  incredibly hard to sleep when the stag ended, i think eventually i had 6 or 8 hours, but the recovery took a hell of a long time and whilst the exercise continued in a similar vein for a couple more weeks, it took much longer to fully recover proper sleep patterns.

I was most struck by the totally debilitating effects of sleep deprivation for that period of time. Drugs only keep you conscious, they do nothing for the addled state of your brain and your efficiency suffers exponentially after 20 hours, or so. I certainly wasn't comfortable doing anything like driving or handling a weapon for a while afterwards. Don't know as to current issue of amphets to troops but this was in 1996, i believe there is a lot of ripped fuel being eaten like sweets amongst troops serving in iraq and afghanistan currently

Indeed there is, by all accounts, but that's a far cry, imj.

I have ethnic origins on one side (sur) in Shropshire. Indeed, my Avatar is a crest that I regularly mock:

"By the squirrel, the acorn, and the hazelnut branch,
I strive to honor my Shropshire ancestry and their frilly thing with the helmeted knight guy... whose visor sort of reminds me of a '78 Regal.

This is a great burden, may I be equal to it. "


My friends assure me, you'll be comforted to know, that I am an equal burden.

It's not just you, whatever HTC adjusted I'm loving it, I'm cranking my graphic settings gradualy back up now, and still havent dipped below 50 fps.  I might even crank the texture resolutions up a notch this weekend.   :x  ... or even see what happens if I enable the detailed graphics.  :rock
