Actually... There is a good handful of tablets that possess a processor ranging between 1.5ghz - 3ghz...

On top of that, I suppose handling the graphics on a small resolution of a tablet it could be reasonable...

But I suppose what it comes down to is the connectivity... Would you be able to sustain a proper connection with HTC's server? Would these people using tablets be super-warpy?

Meh I'll give it a +1 for idea and a -1 for so many unknowns

not the same processor as a desktop or a laptop.  I think they wont even measure up to the old single core cpu.  second of all where would you connect the joystick?  also look at your aces high folder and see how much space is needed, compare it to your tablet.

what you need to ask is a tablet version and I doubt that it will get done at this time.

Connectivity would not be much of an issue.

GPU would be. Note the "G"

HiTech

Seriously though,  somehow being able to have your kneeboard on my effing Note 2... well, MY kneeboard, I don't care about yours, would be the pajamas that cats wear.

A tablet edition that gave "lite" MA access would be neat. Limited FM's to hold and sort.


Aces High "Light Armour"
You get access to the MA your ride choices are
M8, M16, M3, Jeep,

Or Aces High "Mobile Infantry"
You can transportand  target drunks on infantry missions (sappers for buildings, commandos with RPG's agin tanks) from
M3 , Jeep,

That doesn't solve the GPU problem.

Not saying otherwise, but a wish for a billion of one's national money units is also a valid wish in that context.  hitech posted about the GPU problem is this thread which means that it isn't a doable wish at this time.

Actually, out of curiosity, I tried using my IPad that I jailbreaked with windows 7 installed; I was able to install AH2 and get it to load offline...

Coincendently, I can hold 22Fps with graphics turned down...

Now, I just to find a reasonable method of aircraft control xD




By the way, I don't reccomend doing this with you IPad, I merely tried this out of curiosity and experimental purposes...

Those tablets have 2 small hamsters running in a wheel compared with an Intel I7.

I'm quite happy with the 2.2ghz average in processing, of course it's still dominated by the sheer power of a I7

On the other hand it makes me quite sad that my PC is barely more powerful than a IPad...

I have a bran new Ipad and Samsung Tablet, neither will run Aces High even with the lowest settings possible.

Aces high works fine on a cheap laptop, given it depends on the video card and ram, as for now tablets simply are not powerful enough.

What might we expect from these Win 8 tablets which are basically laptops with detachable active screens?

low battery life, bulky, heavy and poor construction, and running a crappy OS would be my guess.


Actually, out of curiosity, I tried using my IPad that I jailbreaked with windows 7 installed; I was able to install AH2 and get it to load offline...

Coincendently, I can hold 22Fps with graphics turned down...

thats rather impressive, wonder how much that would improve under XP :headscratch:

NOW - if the wish was for tablet editions of the map editor, cloud editor, or mission editor, or account manager... then we might be able to figure out something. But this was for an outright tablet edition of the game.

They'd have to improve the bloody thing for the PC first... I would love to waste countless hours making terrains, but the damn program crashes more often than a vTard lawn-darts trying to dive-bomb something...
