I switched over to World of tanks quite a while back and have enjoyed that game a lot. I am in the top 1% of players there, they call us "Unicums" lol and really enjoy the tanking compared to here.
But we all know the the tanking isn't very good here on AH2, but has the flying gotten any better? Are the graphics still wagon wheels and horse drawn? lol
I had a lot of hours in the game back in the day and i'm wondering is it worth me downloading the game to check it out? Or is it exactly the same.
-
My honest opinion... Judging by your statements above you probably better stay in WoT, Mr. "Unicum".
-
The bond for me since 2002 is the "guys." At the end of the day, if we cannot live and play well with others, we are putzers.
There is much more enjoyment to be had in AH than $15/mo buys.

Has it really been years?
Aircraft are slowly improving. Everything new is to a higher standard than before. Aircraft types have increased as well and that have been going back and making new models of older aircraft.
GV types have increased as well, most recently with the addition of 3 German tank killers. We still have the horrible automatic transmission in all the Gvs though. Wish they would go back to the older manual tranny.
However, the same old maps remain as well as the ground graphics from the update years ago. Trinity has been retired (for now at least), though we did get a new map earlier in the year called craters, which is a great map for GVers with a big city spawn/fight.
And we still don't have sheep back! Trees and bushes are still tougher than the land they grow on and still flip tanks...
-
Ok Flight17 that's what I wanted to know lol...still terrible.
I have always thought AH had the best flight sim around...but they really need to fix gv's.
No games perfect though, they all have toejam you wish you could change.

Doesn't sound like anyone noticed you were gone..... stay in the GV's, flying wasn't your strong suit.

:) This community sounds like it wants more players and then..this. :lol

SSDD dude. The occasional furball, the never ending hordes, the never ending pick and run, the occasional white knuckled dogfight, same ol bunch of guys, the funny ones, the friendly ones, the not so bright ones and of course the stars of AH :rolleyes:. Graphics still same old. Newer planes looks decent, new clouds looks actually pretty good, terrain still looks like poo. You could join up fora month during the BoB event, that should be fun.

They don't want more players...this community is full of jerks. Surprisingly there is almost no animosity on any of the WOT forums or in game.
This game has what like 1,200 active players? It's your own fault as much as Hitechs

The two games really aren't comparable. WoT isn't a simulation at all which makes things really predictable and a large segment of PvP players want predictable. They want a hit to take off 5 or 10 or 20 hit points. They don't want to win or lose a fight because something procced or something crit or something missed.
In AH GVs this manifests itself in the frequent complaints that "I shot him five times and they all bounced off but he shot me once and killed me! That's BS!" This happens because AH does not have a hit point system for tank armor (it does for the components of the tank that are protected by that armor, but what those are and what gets through is invisible to the players) and instead tries to simulate the armor and the rounds, including the angle at which the round strikes the armor. This is very complex and variable, and that leads to its seemingly being random and uncontrolled. Well, welcome to realism.
WoT fixes that by using hit points and that makes it very predictable (Note that this isn't saying there is no skill to the game or that match outcomes are predetermined, just that you know what a hit will do. You can predict the effect of your tactics, if they work, to a T.) and that is a big draw for PvP as a sport type of players. AH will never compete there as far as GVs go. AH is very much a hit point based game as far as aircraft go, so it PvP as a sport players are a lot happier with the airplanes, if airplanes are their thing.
This is not to say AH's GV gameplay doesn't have serious shortcomings or compromises enforced on it by being tied to an airplane game as it clearly does. The terrain graphics are well below where they ideally would be for a tank game, not just in terms of being pretty, but in terms of tactical complexity as the game world is, still, largely flat planes (yes, plane as in geometry) with sparsely scattered bumps.
So, if your thing is GVs and you either don't mind the GVs not being simulated or even prefer them not to be simulated, then WoTs is going to be better for you. If you want more simulation and don't mind the shortcomings of the GV game forced on it by being tied to an airplane game, then AH is the place for you.

So let me get this straight. You come here and in 2 posts insult our game and the player base...and we're the jerks?! Do us all a favor and go back to where you come from. You're a dick.
We have enough unsubscribed trolls on the BBS and don't need anymore.

Seeing that your addiction to WoT is like heroin and consider yourself above others in the real world because you have so much money spent on that game, stay there. Nobody really cares if you're better at a worthless game. Try real life for once.

This community is actually really forgiving. Ill tell you first hand. Ofcourse with post like this your not helping yourself

I have no animosity whatsoever against WoT (why should I?) nor against any other game. It's not that I don't play nothing else myself. ;)
However I find it quite amusing that you post "I'm a legend over there, you game sucked, does it still suck?" (followed by a later "thought so, it still sucks") and then expect that you are being begged to come back. And you are calling us jerks?

WoT is essentially a first person shooter with tank skins instead of whatever else. I played it in Beta up until the big wipe, and didn't feel like grinding again to get all my top tier (at the time) tanks back. It's a "first person shooter" skill game, not a simulation skill game. The knowledge and ability required to be good at it doesn't really compare between the two games, both in spite and because of the differential in numbers of players. Claiming WoT is a superior game due to numbers doesn't really fly (get it) IMO, as most of the "great" WoT players would be either incapable or unwilling to learn a more difficult game, like the air to air component of AH2. Having played both that's my observation at least.
It'd be nice to have Belial back on the BBS though, for nothing else, for some more Tom Cruise like motorcycle posed pictures that the photoshop people can modify.

Gotta say Belial, yeah I remember you, you could have done much better with this post.
Its obvious you arent checking the game out to come back to, instead your posting a thread dripping with condescension with the apparent intent to brag about your WOT play. A pretty sad display. I wonder? Where in Hell did you get the notion anyone cares about your WOT stats?
It would have been far better just to say Hello and ask how the game is doing.

Seriously, you make a post making derogatory comments about the game and expect a warm greeting? I think you had some unrealistic expectations, walking into a game forum, pooping on the developer and game, and then expecting welcoming responses. I have nothing against you personally but I am also seriously wondering why Skuzzy hasn't booted you from the forums already for being a troll.

seriously Belial no animosity? half the threads are about the Russian bias and the other are about bots and afk players with a few threads about noobs that should uninstall.
then again most losses have some idiot whining about "f teams"v or some other kind of insult.

And that's another thing, the time it took you to write your post was probably not much longer than the time it would take you "to bother" to download the game and just see for yourself if anything was different. Unless you're on dial up, it's a little hard to believe that you needed to ask current players opinions of the game because you didn't have the time to download the game, take the 2 minutes to install it, and jump into offline and fly around for another 2 minutes. A grand total of 10 minutes out of your day at most.

and another thing, if the top 1% only has a victory percentage of 61% I'd same the majority does only have one eye. :neener:

That's how it might go if you wrote your post to Bob Newhart. Since you did not, enjoy a single finger doublefisted salute. Can I embed the Bloodydecks emoticon, it looks better than saying it.

Sounds good chief, we won't miss you at all.

That is funny a WOT player disparaging AH players. I play WOT and a lot of their players think it is a tank simulation. I think it is a simulation of RC plastic tanks shooting plastic BBs. It fun to me but I just see it as a little tank game, I do not "get into it" like a lot of the others there do. My favorite thing to do there is run over outhouses. When there a text buffer conflict between I usually try to help resolve it by texting "calm down before your moms make you go outside to play, ride the bigwheel around the block and cool off." I have not play AH in awhile and I miss most were the special events, I "got into" and enjoyed them.

Thank you uptown. :aok
