AcesHigh 3 "Revenge of the Sheep" :x

With the amount of meltdown going on in the WT forums now would be a good time for it. All the "simmer" types say they're waiting for Il2 Stalingrad to come out.

Yes... Aces High - Tour of Duty :bolt:

I'm surprised no one has said it yet:
We are currently playing "Aces High III". Hitech Creations upgraded to the new version over 2 years ago, yes?

Nobody said it, becasue we are still on 2.x
I wonder what you mean with "new version over 2 years ago" :headscratch:

the number is just a number. but the new version came out when we had that big test arena a few years back. lots of graphics were redone including water modelling and some other crap.

The difference between AH1 and AH2 was significantly different in comparison to what you are talking about. I think that's why we're still in AH2.xx.

there was also a new damage model added, new graphics, new planes. not sure what else you need to make it a new version.

Strat redesign would be a good place to start........................ .. :pray
was helping rooks sneak a base next to enemy starts yesterday off of a CV. Thought to myself, "woot going to get some major strat milking in". Then was reminded that when we take base, strats move to the rear. :frown: :mad: :cry :furious

Expectation:
Aces High III: Return Of The Vulcher

ok and the strats were redone to one big one as they had been requested for years. now everybody wants them to go back to the original zone strats.

No strat redesign necessary for that. Just disable the evacuation routine, which has a negative impact on gameplay. Instead of creation hot spots that are viciously being fought over, you have 'cold places' that neither the attacker really wants to capture, nor the defender wants to defend or recapture. :bhead

You didn't play AH1 then? It was like night and day difference.

I played ah2 on a gateway 420 dual core with a 8400 gs vc. when the new version came out, I also upgraded my computer, I played both with a new computer that was way better than the gateway. play both versions with it, they were like night and day.

Perhaps if someone has some screen shots from AH1 I think you'll see what I mean.
-
I started somewhere around tour 74 or 76. I believe it was just a couple months before AH2 came out. It was several months after the flying PT boat con whenever that was. I do remember the RVs with guns from hell con.....wasn't that during AH1?

AH2 came out long time before that, in 2004. The effective switchover was around tour 53.

Yup Summer of '04 if I remember correctly.

oh okay, I always thought the massive graphic overhaul we had with the bases being redesigned and all was when AH2 began. My bad. :salute

I was reading that too, wow. I see Karaya has found himself a new home. :D

hey we've had the staged missions of the tour of duty :aok but no real way to play them :D

With all the meltdown in the ah forums now might be a good time for it...wait 'meltdown' might not be accurate more like 'same ol' same ol'

Will there ever be an Aces High 3?
HTC posted that the numbered naming scheme was no longer going to be used. This is the latest version after Aces High II.

We all saw what happened when Warbirds 3 came out.
HTC is probably not going to use "3".

I like the idea of AH 3.0, but like many I am not all lovey-dovey over the perspective of future evolutions. (think about it, the evolution of 1.0 to 2.0... the game will be different ala version 3.0, but how different?... )

Seems like your text was fixated on '2 years.' Not to mention the huge following
a 16 bit game seems to have.

If you dislike the game so much just play something else and go away.

No, I like the game, that's why I want to see it improved. Perhaps you'd like to reinstall AH1? It's the same thing anyways for you.

Figures, the arcade kids at WT would classify IL2 as a "simulator". :rolleyes:
Keep passing on the WT gossip thou, it's news to me, I find it hard to believe it's going downhill even this fast. :cheers:

That's one helluva admission but you know your limitations best. If you can't
even manage stupid then you might ought to work on that before you attempt
to engage others civilly or uncivilly on this forum or elsewhere.
That's your valuable piece of info for the day. :aok

I've been outa town and away from home for a couple weeks, but 3-4 weeks ago they were dropping ads on TV left and right like candy. I think it may of helped AH if anything, late nights are better now and sometimes it helps just having another game out there to get someone to buy a joystick that hasn't before.

Makes me appreciate what we have, for sure.
