Greets all! I'm a regular WT player (two years' experience in WT on 'full real' controls--basically as close to AH2 as you can get) that's considering making the jump to AH2; I have experience with the game from way back when that 'two weeks free promo' thing was going on, but I basically can't help asking--how far off is War Thunder as opposed to AH2? We constantly contend with the validity of FMs on the WT forums, and AH2 is one of the constant references that's pointed to when trying to determine the accuracy of any FM.
It's just issues such as the LaGG-3 series being able to cut inside of a 109 E, let alone Fs or Gs, the (as we've christened it) Hellfat shedding a full 150 mp/h of speed, or more, in a gentle turn, the Corsairs being about 2-300 horses short on power under the hood, or the Bearcats running on military power when using WEP. Obviously not particularly correct, but how far away from AH2, and from real life, is it?
In that vein, asking anyone with experience (its been a while since I've actually played AH2), how do the controls compare (in regards to their 'feel')? WT feels an awful lot like operating a flying marionette...
Many thanks!

WT seems to have a FM skew that favors the Russian plane set.

Greetings, Volsky !
While I personally have no experience of any sort with that... other... computer program you referred to, nearly all the comments about it that I have been able to find include the word "arcade." ;)
Be forewarned: Aces High is rather addictive, and also possessed of a leaning curve that is a... tad... steeper than what you might be familiar with. I would suggest that you spend some time in the Training Arena with the good folks of the Training team.
Since your post indicates that you are interested in the more accurate end of the flight-sim spectrum, once you're feeling up to speed, I also suggest that you check out the Special Events.
And welcome! :cheers:
-
Volsky! Come play with us sir. Give yourself 3 months minimum to decide if this is for you. We all here really believe in the modeling accuracy, but we will argue about everything including that. This is a great place to play and have fun. Like Bino said, get some training time and also join a squad. Not only will you have guys helping you as they fly right next to you, but you get to experience the teamwork and camaraderie we enjoy here. Get yourself involved in a squad that also does FS)'s. Friday Squad Operations and immerse yourself in a massive battle based on the historical one's. Come play AH Volsky, you've got to find out for yourself sir!
-
The download is still free and you can install and fly off line as much as you'd like. Test the flight models yourself.
Once on line an in the arenas getting the timing down for your maneuvers can be a bit frustrating, but is well worth the time.
-
I came to AH from Fighter Ace, playing mostly advanced and intermediate. It took some time to get used to AH, but it's been well worth the effort. The Planes set is very good, the FMs are incredible and the people, with some exceptions, are awesome. We have fun, we get frustrated :joystick:, we rant :old:, we laugh :x :cheers:, we just all around have a great time. Come join us, you'll be hooked really quickly.
Note: if you have a significant other, be prepared for a generous amount of "ack" from them, because you'll find it hard to pull away from the game! :devil
-
I forgot to mention that I'm a meager music major (uni), so I basically have negative spare cash on hand. If memory serves AH2 is subscription-based?
Also, I think I've mastered or at least learned my ACMs. I take up my F4F-4 against 109 G-10s and K-4s for shiggles in WT... :joystick:
-
Aces High sets the standard for flight simulation. It's nice that other games recognize that. :aok
If you need help with anything just post a request in the help and training forum.
Here's a short film showing energy exchange, post departure gyrations and stall recovery. http://youtu.be/FzfsPKpCG4I
-
Volsky, it is 50 cents per day. the 15 bucks a month I spend has saved me thousands of dollars I might have spent on other entertainment. Everything costs something, as entertainment value goes, I do not think it gets any better than this.
-
Welcome to the big leagues.
Every plane has a strength and weakness and they all fly differently. You'll have a hard time fighting 109Ks in the F4F. I'd highly recommend using the F6F instead.
Good luck see you in the skies
<S>

Volsky, one more thing:
If you're really keen to learn Air Combat Maneuvers, then you simply must get yourself a copy of The Book:
http://www.amazon.com/Fighter-Combat-Maneuvering-Robert-Shaw/dp/0870210599/ (http://www.amazon.com/Fighter-Combat-Maneuvering-Robert-Shaw/dp/0870210599/)

Agreed with all of the above. Good to have you with us, Volsky.

If you are looking for a flight game that gives you alot of WWII aircraft to choose from/fun easy mode aircraft operation, that still has a good learning curve/good fights and scenarios/and generally a good group of people....this is good bang for the buck....... :old:
If you are looking for a flight simulation that has cutting edge graphics and realistically models high performance aircraft operation in a WWII tactical environment...then this isn't it.....but then I'm not sure such a game exists out there :old:
....the bonus is that you also get sample some ground vehicle/ship/base defense guns action as well........... :old:
Overall it is a fun game to play and in my opinion worth the monthly fee........ :old:
-
15 bucks a month is a small price to pay for one of the most challenging flight sims you will ever play. There's a learning curve to be sure, but there are also many pilots who are willing to teach you, starting with the trainers. I'm not a real life pilot, but this game does a very good job of modeling the "feel" of an aircraft, from the dump truck on steroids that is the P-47 to the whip-snap roll of the FW, to the light and responsive spit. You won't find a better WW II flight sim out there.
And yes, this is the big leagues of flight sim. Welcome aboard.

I have flown in WT.....and been in AH 10 years or so now....
AH hands down is the better combat sim....
one thing you wont see in WT
each bomber set of 3...... is a player

another thing AH has is its outstanding view system...you can move your head around and save head positions...unless you use trakr which also works great in AH.
the community in AH is also outstanding...(of course there are always bad apples)
the FM is about as close to the real deal as you will find
not only WT have I played.... but I played all the WW2 games/sims
AH is where its at.
welcome home :salute

See all those red guys? You need to shoot them.

When playing turn off the flight aids for more realism. Stall limiter is a big one. Combat trim and auto takeoff are also there. If you have the time, there are many options for customization that make the game more enjoyable. Truly this is one of the best games out there as far as being user friendly. It will take time and effort to get the most of this game. :salute
:airplane:
PS the hacking and delinquents are very limited. :banana:

Aces High Is the best flight sim out there. The feel and handle of the airplanes gets as real as it can be. 15 bucks a month is extremely affordable. I spend way more money on toilet paper LMAO. Btw does WT have special Events and screnarios and stuff?

Yeah dude the special events and recreation of WW2 fights in AH just blow everything you've ever seen out of the water.

I may be biased but I believe the aerodynamic modeling is the best out there. :D

WT seems to have a FM skew that favors the Russian plane set.
I think that would be true of most WWII sims no matter how realistic they are. The performance is modeled after recorded data about the planes performance. I'm led to believe that the Russians simply lied to make their planes look more impressive (sounds very much like something they would do at the time).

If your game code is written and updated in Russia... :lol
-
Welcome! You won't be disappointed by the flight models. There are always little gripes here and there about this plane catching or out turning that plane, but from my experience the answer is almost always as simple as E management or pilot skill giving the impression that some plane is over/under modeled.
How'd he do that??? :headscratch:

Greets all!
Welcome to Aces High! I am glad you are joining us. :aok
-
See all those red guys? You need to shoot them.
It's Ink, I'm sure he did.......all of them :D
Welcome Volsky......if you see me on and want to wing up just shout. Or better yet if you want to shoot at someone that will stay guns cold till you get the hang of it, glad to do that also.
-
I fiddled around in WT for a week or two to see what the fuss was about. Once I figured out that they fiddle with the flight model depending on how much experience you have in type I was done. A plane doesn't change how it flies because the pilot has more experience. No room in my life for those sorts of shenanigans.

Greets all! I'm a regular WT player (two years' experience in WT on 'full real' controls--basically as close to AH2 as you can get) that's considering making the jump to AH2; I have experience with the game from way back when that 'two weeks free promo' thing was going on,
Many thanks!

"Welcome Back!" Vol, since you posted you have already tried Aces High before, my experience from Alpha testing World of Planes ( renamed War Thunder ), then closed beta then open beta ( when I stopped cold )...... is that after flying AH since 1999, it simply is hard to find anything close to AH, and we had our opinions over there, and that is where I will leave mine......

Dive right in and begin learning the sassy little secrets of the KI84. I have just begun as a "bad apple" of 2 years playing (with 1 year hiatus) and when I stop learning is when I stop playing. Also, find the goons :devil

Welcome Back. Don't let the one thing you'll notice about AH, throw you off. While AH isn't any where near the level of War Thunder in looks, it sure makes up for it with the VAST options available to you.
The best things about Aces High is that I don't have to worry about some kind of time limit, and the size of the maps are larger. Plus there isn't a waiting queue to get airborne. You also won't have to worry about team killing. They shoot you, they die. :) You will notice that compared to War Thunder, we are missing a few planes, but overall have a decent plane set. You have options. :aok Another thing to note is that HTC is currently working on Aces High 3, which is a MASSIVE revamp of the terrain and hopefully, damage system. :)
As others have mentioned, pop on in for a few months and give it a whirl. With so many options to do things, I think you'll find Aces High a nice change from War Thunder. :aok
-
And people say the AH crowd is unfriendly. Pah!
Welcome. Be sure to check out the regular events held, that's where this game really excels.

If youd like to see the game in a day to day setting check out my youtube and its all right there.
https://www.youtube.com/user/vuduvince?feature=guide (https://www.youtube.com/user/vuduvince?feature=guide)
I still play WT from time to time and I have to say with out a doubt it is the most annoying thing I've ever had the displeasure to mess with....and all that is due to poor control setup and poor flight model.
I still hang with it but it will never replace AH.
-
I remember when Aces High was called AH2. ;)
-
First off, I would like to say welcome. This is a fun game, I find the view system to be much better than WT. I only have limited experience with WT and flound the flight model to be disappointing as well. Here, you do not have to pay for uber planes, rather you have to shoot some people down. I like that idea more. That, and the P38 rules :)
-
Yeah i totally agree with these other fine gentlemen AH is much better than WT in everything apart from gfx, i did have fun playing WT for a short time (only because i couldnt sub to AH2 at the time) but the OP russian planes killed it for me and i have never had the heart pumping adrenalin feeling in any game apart from AH.
-
Something else you won't experience in War Thunder. Last night there was a large NOE mission against the Rook A101, in which SEVERAL Lancasters and some Tu-2's flew over the base to town. I would say around 20 Bish, at least. I jumped into an M-16 and made my way to a hill near the town, then proceeded to shoot down 8 a/c before running out of ammo. That was a BLAST! :x At any time I could've had an enemy fighter take me out, since the M-16 is fairly easy to knock out. There were a few N1K1's around after all. At one point a set of Lancs flew right over me, and I was expecting a few bombs to land on me. Fortunately, he didn't drop on me. :) I can PROMISE you, you will NOT see something like that in War Thunder. :aok
-
I'm not one of those "most of us" nice guys. Go back to War Thunder and don't look back otherwise you'll be stuck here for 14 years like me (19 counting Air Warrior before this). Run Volron, Run!
Oops... I meant Volsky, not Volron.

I wouldn't say that someone from WT is "lowly." Sure, most of us here don't like the game but we're not going to bash other people for playing it.
The important thing to remember is to balance your ego. If you have too much of it, you're going to end up on the receiving end of a lot of hate. If you have too little then it can actually impede your ability to improve in the game. I would say that enough would be to look at an enemy and say "yes, I can kill him" even if you really can't. That confidence will push you to give it your all.

Right, well, I have my controls more or less set up, but the game is running awfully choppy...it's a little concerning considering I can run something as intensive as say, WT, on max graphics and dick around on the deck with basically full framerates. I'm also trying to figure out if there's a key to reset your trimming to the default (e.g., no trim), because I end up turning on combat trim 100% of the time in lieu of that. On top of everything, trying to swap modes is giving me a hell of a time. I'd like to be able to drive a tank around without having to use my joystick to aim the darn thing.
Also, the Me 410 is about 12 different kinds of obviously-illegal-fun. Seriously, that stuff should be banned. Even in the AI test arena it's point, click, dakka.

If you turned up the reflective skin option in game (even 1 notch) you will notice a considerable FPS drop. That thing is designed to kill your video card! :eek:
If you have that turned up, turn it off. You really won't notice reflections in the skin while in a fight so you won't be losing anything by turning it off, but you will gain a massive amount of your FPS back.

Go to graphics options on the clipboard and make sure environmental mapping is off.
No trim is generally not a good option. Turn combat trim off and toggle auto-angle trim, Shift-X, to set your trim for your current speed and pitch attitude.
If you have other questions or problems or you want to schedule training just post in the Help and Training forum.

AH is more CPU intensive....not sure what kind of system you are using......
I Have to turn everything off except detailed water and detailed terrain.....which looks fine to me....and a good steady 50-60 FPM
not here for the scenery :joystick:
again welcome :salute

I find that the single most abusive thing to my graphics card is the "smooth shadow" option. If I turn that on, my frame rate will tank from 50 down to 5.
Something that a lot of us will do is we will play on low graphics settings and then we will turn all the graphics back up before entering the film viewer. The film viewer pulls the graphics settings that were last used in the game and renders the film using those. It's still GPU intensive but it's much easier on the CPU since it doesn't need to process all of the data the game is trying to throw at it.

Volsky pictures dont do credit to when our 111's were jumped by a red cloud of Hurri's. You really had to be there. And you will, next scenario.

Haven't seen one in a long time and I'll blame it on my bad timing. Your not going to find this in WT I'll make it short. In the MA, NME country launches a massive strat run on our strat and HQ at least 60 planes mostly bombers handful of fighter escort. As the whole country rallied and upped for intercept I decided to bail on what I was doing and join in. I upped a 152 and upped with 2 friendlys. What felt like a lifetime climbing (still new to the game at the time) quickly turned into OMG when we intercepted. The line of bombers went on for 20 miles. I got 2 kills before getting shutdown. Once towered vDallas called for a resupply on HQ as it looked like a group of bombers was advancing on the HQ. Sure enough it was 6 b-29's in that strat raid who made it.
Looking up at all of the bombers and fighters intercepting was incredible. Honestly changed my life in a way. Just imagining what it must have been like to watch the great areial battles over europe. This was 4 years ago and there have been a couple thousand just as awesome moments since. Welcome to the game!

Volsky pictures dont do credit to when our 111's were jumped by a red cloud of Hurri's. You really had to be there. And you will, next scenario.
That is an understatement. :x

Right, well, I have my controls more or less set up, but the game is running awfully choppy...it's a little concerning considering I can run something as intensive as say, WT, on max graphics and dick around on the deck with basically full framerates. I'm also trying to figure out if there's a key to reset your trimming to the default (e.g., no trim), because I end up turning on combat trim 100% of the time in lieu of that. On top of everything, trying to swap modes is giving me a hell of a time. I'd like to be able to drive a tank around without having to use my joystick to aim the darn thing.
Also, the Me 410 is about 12 different kinds of obviously-illegal-fun. Seriously, that stuff should be banned. Even in the AI test arena it's point, click, dakka.
I'd recommend using SweetFX to improve the visuals of the game and it isn't a major tax on your system so you should see little or no loss of FPS.

I forgot to mention that I'm a meager music major (uni), so I basically have negative spare cash on hand. If memory serves AH2 is subscription-based?
Also, I think I've mastered or at least learned my ACMs. I take up my F4F-4 against 109 G-10s and K-4s for shiggles in WT... :joystick:
Music minor <-- !!!!!!! I live in our music building when not doing homework or playing where do you go to college at??????
