Title: stuff i dont like in AH
Post by: Zigrat on May 03, 2000, 05:08:00 PM
I dont like cockpit shake (think its over done)

I dont like bullet dispertion (think its over done, try firing a 30mm while parked on ground, was it REALLY that inaccurate?)

well thats what i dont like  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

do you like these?

I like the dispersion.  If you've ever watched the gun camera film on a P-47 or something like that with a lot of tracers, the bullets go all over the place.

Without the dispersion it looked like Star Wars.  Now it looks like my "9th AF In Action" VHS tape.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't like F4U's. They really mess up a tank vs tank battle.

I don't like the blackout, seems a bit sudden & extreme to me.

I also don't like negitive threads. Ya I know, I just posted in it thereby continueing the maddness. Shrug

Title: stuff i dont like in AH
Post by: MANDOBLE on May 04, 2000, 04:08:00 AM
I dont like special effects:
Fire doesn't seem fire.
Explosions dont seem explosions.
Smoke doesn't seem smoke.
Hits dont seems hits.
Damaged parts of aircraft are just gone, not damaged.
Ground objects are totally destroyed or intact, no partial damage effects at all.

At this point you surelly have discovered I'm thinking in WWII Fighters effects  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

When I take a hit in my radiator, I expect to be able to check the gauge, seeing how long before it gets in the red area and overheats, same for oil leak.
the way it is now..the engine just keeps on purring like nothin happened..temps fine..then poof..engine dead.
You should be able to shut it down..glide twords your field..and fire it back up again for the landing without it gettin too hot.

I don't like  the cannons  on the F4U-1C, just to prove  how uber they are, if I can get a 5 to 1 K/D ratio in them, imagine what someone really good can do in it!

1)  I don't like Sprint

2)  I dont' like Digex

3)  I wish the owner of this mutt in my b17 cockpit would reclaim him......he smells.

4)  And where's the showers?  These paratroopers are really stinkin up my goon.

5)  I hate asparagus.

6)  The engines dont get hot enough to pop my popcorn.

7)  The engines do get hot enough to melt my cheese, but without fries, what's the point?

8)  I hate flying in a buff after JOC has been in it......his sheep leaves bad stuff in the cockpit,....er,...hmmm,..I hope it is his sheep.

9)  The cleaning crew needs to be fired. I expect my bombsite to be free of finger prints.

10)  The union contract with the flight crews needs to be redone.  I have not had any beer nuts in months and these hags are starting to look really sad!

11)   The paratrooper training is awful.  I had to leave the cockpit yesterday to boot one out, cause he was too busy trimming his finger nails! (Now ya know why troop drops don't always work,...the secret is out).

12)  And where's my 8-track?

Speaking of the blackout/redout situation...

First a disclaimer:  I have no (zero) experience in aerobatic a/c.  I am not about to pretend that this experience is identical.  However,

I was at Magic Mountain this past weekend and while waiting in the 2 hour line for the new Goliath coaster I thought, this is set up just like a B&Z dogfight, slow climb to alt, dive down, hop back up, smooth turn to conserve e, back down the ramp, back up, then a tight spiral for the kill of the wounded nme.  That tight spiral was something else, my wife started to get tunnel vision from the G forces.  I found myself subconsciously grunting the blood back into my head.  Now, I have nothing to reference this against, but my guess would be it is @3-4gs?  

Now my real question... Would it be more realistic for the blackouts in the game to be a little smoother, i.e. color vision decreases first, so toward the edges things start to tun black & white and then fade to black while the center is still visible, then center fades to b/w and finally black over a period of a few seconds?

I'm not asking for planes and pilots that can take 9gs like an F16, but I believe that sustained gs have a more pronounced effect than instantaneous gs.

I love this game.

There is terribly little about AH that I dislike enough to mention with conviction.

As usual, lots of little things that I take note on from time to time but nothing really important.

I guess the acks and the F4U-1C are most likely to get a cussword but hey!   NBD

Yeager brings up a good point, just about everything little minor thing that each individual dislikes can be easily adjusted to.  Severity 1 bugs are squashed immediately by HTC.  Things  like ack, etc. help maintain gameplay from turning into a vulch fest (Ack lethality *has* been adjusted, not nearly as deadly, and field vulches are up some too, tit for tat)

One thing that amazes me, look at CK when it came out, then 6 months down the road.

Now look at AH when open beta was released, and look at it now.  I would say by 10 fold over the developement stage that CK (WB's) was in the same amount of time.  Granted, some of it is due to the nature of technology, but most, I believe, is the dedication of the staff itself.

Pilots who change teams frequently especially when things get tough.  Amazing how they always seem to end up on the team thats winning.

And thats all I have to say about that.

Hangtime:

1.  Do what I do, take one drop tank of fuel, and use the other to mount a keg of your favorite brew.  One fuel pump and a chunk of hose with a valve and you have a nifty little draft feed. <G>

2.  Knit beer does suck, but I bring my own, so no worries there.

3.  You must be hitting the Rook fields right after the Pigs have been there and drank it dry, as usual.

4.  Try flying with your canopy open, you won't notice the vents anymore.

5.  Who needs mirrors?  Oh yeah, I forgot, you are a Pony driver.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

6.  CD Player!  Dammit, I thought the 8-track in my F4U-1D was state of the art!

7.  Ice maker?  You buff drivers must be drinking wuss drinks or something.  You could fit more beer in the space all that crap takes up you fools!

8.  Panzers... you mean those target things?

9.  We'll fix beef's B17 up right good.. the pilot seat though.

10.  You're peeing in the pitot tube again.

And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
