...super addictive?
The FM of the Claw forces everyone into a turn and burn style fight because it's impossible to BnZ in these things. I also find the weapon balance to be perfect. :aok
If HTC had the man power, they could make a very, very addictive mini game and sell it for a couple bucks through steam. :joystick:
-
...super addictive?
Not me.
Sure, quite fun for a few sorties, but not anywhere near "addictive". Just like the current incarnation of WWI arena or the DA lake ;)
-
It's addictive, but I usually leave after 30min. Not realistic, if you know what I mean.

How do you know that? Ever flown a Claw in real life? :D

The HTC crew has done an EXCELLENT job on the Arena 51 and the claw. :aok
I wish they'd let us know what they modeled the claw on.
With this type of coding already in place---how hard would a Korea Arena be? :D

CLAWs for 10k points in the MA? :noid :bolt:

It's fun, but expect to soon see 200 blow up with, "You couldn't have done it without the mines, I totally had you but you were just a noob and dropped the mine"
-

Then as the ultimate April Fools joke, HiTech should code them to self destruct several minutes into the flight. :rofl It would be a great way to remove a lot of built up perks from the system.

Claw vs shark with lazer beam???

Man I had a blast in Area 51 today as did the other Drunken Monkeys. Had a smile on my face from ear to ear and laughing my arse off <S> and thank you to HTC for letting us in

I'm pretty sure the claw has less in common with korea jets than our 262, flight model wise.

They modled the claw on, well, nothing.
How hard could a Korean Arena be, modeled on nothing?

if you go back to the 2010 convention threads, I could swear hitech said they paid $20 for the 3d model from some 3rd party and threw it together in a few hours, specifically for the evil con mission.

I think it looks more like something from the 'The Last Starfighter' ..

The mines killed it for me, no one wants to fight but go vertical and drop mines on anyone who follows.

Looks to me like a miniature version of the Excalibur from the Babylon 5 spin-off Crusade:

sidestep & torpedo
Tried that... said screw it when a mine hit me after I sidestepped and went the complete opposite direction... the suckage is strong with me. :(

never seen the above before, must be something from fan fic or comic or those paperback off-shoots.

The cockpit is pure F22.
For Korea we just need 2 new planes :old:
Mig and Sabre we have everything else to make it credible ;)

MiG and Sabre might make it credible, but I think we'd need more to make it successful. Probably under a dozen aircraft would do it though, and maybe 5-6 additional tanks and GVs. I think it'd be way more interesting than the WWI arena, especially with ground and ground support and interdiction operations.
Might even pull me out of WWII arenas if it was set up like the Axis vs Allies arena. Not sure I'd stay too long in a Korean-era MA. I think the scenario team could cook up some great scenarios, too.

Nah brewster dives much better than claw.

This.

i thoroughly enjoyed myself for a change. the shields hold up long enough so that i dont die instantly like in the AVA or the MA's. its a great change and alot of fun. thanks HTC!

Sorry guys, I was bored and logged after 2 flights. Not my cup of tea I guess, have fun <S>.

Hmmm....let's see.
CLAW has reasonably pseudo-modern fighter jet pilot heads up display (HUD) handles like a mix of Harrier on take off and acceleration and a modern carrier jet.
Climbs to cloud deck relatively quickly like a MiG but not 262.
Has in-air slow down better than anything else in the game but rear thrusters like commercial jets use upon landing.
I'm sure Dale & crew either have have a hidden space ship from aliens hidden somewhere near Austin they have reversed engineered (which explains all the UFO sightings there lately) or Dale is an alien from space and simply modeled it on something he remember from his home galaxy.
I'm sure your exactly right and it was never modeled on anything.
PPPPPhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttt tttt. :rolleyes:
-
it was fun but just like anything HTC gives us the players treat it like the MA. we eventually had vulching picking hoing bases taking all in Area 51
-
Guys years ago there was a Fox show call "Space above and beyond". On one episode they had chiggy Von Richthofen in a special attack craft. It looks real close to the claw. Thank you high tech for the change of pace and hats off for most of the things you do for this game. :aok

If nothing else, this has proven there is an interest in a Korea arena. I remember when Air Warrior was first bought out there were grand promises of a better Korea scenario and extending it into the Vietnam era. Alas, as we were all to learn this was pure BS and EA killed it. But the excitement the announcement made was impossible to ignore. As hard as it is to find a WW2 multiplayer sim, it's nonexistent for Korea and Vietnam.
Fighter pilots want to fly in the best aircraft they can. We really need a Gen1/Gen2 fighter sim of the same quality we have here from the fine folks at HTC. :)
-
Agreed. Early jets dogfighting would be fun enough that it should be at least as popular long term as WWI.

Everything else < Independents day arena.

If the numptys at Air Warrior in Virginia could pull it off 16 years ago with crappy graphics---a version here is extremely "doable" look at the CLAW.
You are right about Kesmai. They promised lots of better things and never pulled it off and were happy to live off the day to day dollars. HTC is smart enough to keep evolving the games. If I had $100 bucks in my hand to gamble right now I think they dumped the Tour of Duty concept and have been working on Korea quietly in the background.
PS--For M00T, I'm sure you are 100% correct. Who in their right mind would want to play in a Korean Arena with "free" jets to dogfight in...no perkies needed. Anyone who'd think that is just plain nuts. :t
-
Oh no! Arena 51 has been taken off the list. :(

Was it only for Apirl fool? Or is it every friday ?

Here is a video from last fall. It took me a long time to make on my slow computer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrK2v82Q4yk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrK2v82Q4yk)
I turned on Fraps thinking that the Aces High recorder wouldn't show the motherships.
I had a blast last fall trying to shoot down the CLAWs with a pony. Just the same, I was addicted to flying and dying in the CLAW last friday.

I never got to try it! :cry

I got to fly it for less than an hour before the arena closed. I had just figured out the flight model and ACM. :bhead
