Title: Great !
Post by: JimmyC on November 01, 2016, 03:15:11 AM
Loved the transition to AH3
There have been a significant increase of fun for me ..
I think AH3 is way way better than AH2 in so many ways but ultimately I seem to have loads of great dogfights..
So <S> HiTech for the foresight and imagination to make this great sandbox even better for us and <<S>> to all you lot..
Great fights and great fun
Cheers
Jimmy

Really? I haven't resubbed because it just felt like the the same old same old. Oh well.

Agreed, smaller maps make fights happen even with smaller numbers in Euro TZ  :banana:

All but one in my squad made the transition to AH3.

Clouds look wonderful, daytime fighting is good fun !

One thing everyone still complain about are the water maps - the no-wakes dogfighting over water is literally a killer.

Nighttime is another issue, hard to see where the enemy planes you are about to shoot are, when the neon icons sometimes hide the aircraft shapes.

Oi Oi..
I'm still smarting from the spanking you gave me yesterday..
But it proves my point.
.. I did like it!
Great fights win or lose...
It was at that fighter town business which was frantic and full on fun..buzz saw is good fun too..maybe it's just new stuff..maybe Shiney new things make the game that much better....
Still..plenty of quality dogfights going on though.

Lot of new features in ah3 as well like th down time on the clip board.  Improved audio and graphics.  The trees in ah2 were made of two dimensional images stuck together in ah3 they look 3d.  The new bases and towns have made for some interesting battles.

There are still a few problems but htc seems to be working on them.

Gotta agree......AHIII is a big net gain IMO. Whilst all the new visual effects enhance the experience the new fields, towns, strats et add to game play.

Lesson learnt.....new architecture is as important as new rides. Let's not standardise on towns and fields and stuff for the next 5 years...... let's have regular updates adding new battle points ( small and large, hard and soft)........

Change is gud

That only happened after you wasted me, made put on my pink Tutu and up a spit hahaha.... was fun in that area..

I also had some me vs a few last night...it was awesome....they had a repect for the situation and didn't tke any and every shot...made for some good long twisting fights...shout out to Ausmedic,Rubble,bW36ssgt,Hayabusa and FrankB for that fun....I got slaughtered but didn't mind one bit...

Sounds still mess me up though...especially front right....sound comes from the wrong place...can't work out why

No way that's your baby Bruv.... she is ADORABLE   ...... say good bye to all of your extra cash Bruv.... this one is going to cost you every cent. 

Speaking from experience, except I had 2 girls, and never two nickels to rub together.....  The phrase, "Dad, I......."  < insert blah blah blah.... and hand over wallet.  They cast a spell I tell you..... and you never recover.....

Enjoy, every moment.   :salute

leave nighttime alone--if you can't see another plane for 30 or less minutes that is nighttime get your eyes checked-
am I the only one that CAN see the planes and gvs when it's simulated less than 30 minute turn your gamma up-nightime

She's a knockout Scott  :aok  Save a lil cash for a great big gun to polish at the table whenever boyfriend shows up to pick her up.  Make sure you invite him in about the time you look down the barrel ..... er um I mean check the sights.

There are a number of new things that really grab my attention in AH3. First, the graphics are a major improvement over AH2.  Secondly, having new fields is a nice breath of fresh air.

I'm also digging how well gv's can hide under the tree canopy. A single gv can really throw base defenders in to a panic. The Storch has become all that much more important.

The strat targets all prove to be more challenging to bomber pilots, there isn't a square box to plan on for a target. Everything is spread out and somewhat integrated in to other nearby buildings.

Having more gv spawn points in to the strat targets is nice too. Oh, and the ability for a wild weasel to go in first and knock out an ack tower then have the jabos such as Mossi's, 110's, Typhoons, etc, follow in behind is very nice. In AH2, that was an automatic suicide thanks to the auto ack.

Lots of new things in AH3.  Good stuff.

Turning forty is one thing.  Having your children turn forty is much worse.
