Title: Been a long time
Post by: fattyrv on December 02, 2019, 11:28:41 PM

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on AH in a couple years. I just built a new gaming PC. How much has the game changed in the last couple years? I left not long after AH III came out.

There is now a "gv dar" which shows the approximate location of enemy gv's.  Also, a "proximity dar" which shows any enemy within icon range of a friendly (or yourself).

Without it you are at a disadvantage against a decent pilot who has it

Yet another reason my k/d ratio sucks. Not the main one, just another one.

Also,

There are a few cool new maps.  Thanks bustr!   :salute

The trees aren't nearly as sticky as they used to be, and they don't reach out and grab you.  You can drive through the smaller trees and bushes.  (Lemon trees = good; orange trees = bad.)

The clouds have been refined.  They look really good and hardly affect frame rates.

There are now battleships with 16" guns (on some maps).

Trains and convoys run on some maps.  I guess they affect rebuild times, but haven't seen anyone attacking them.
