A review of Aces High by Tim "Baddawg" Nieuwdorp has been posted on Dogfighter.com (he flies under the handle "Dogftr").
It might seem well familiar to many of you that already play, but it is really aimed at people that don't currently fly AH.
Comments are welcome.
Cheers,

If those screenshots, and the challange of a fairly realistic FM dont attract new people. I dont know what will (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Maybe the 'four 50mm guns' on the halftrack will (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hope you mean 50cal, cause if theres 50mm cannon on the halftrack, why take to the air???

Dingy read the article again (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Another ground vehicle added in Aces High by v1.02 was the M16 Halftrack. Its main purpose is to defend Panzers and airfields from strafing enemy aircraft, and is armed with four 50mm guns mounted on a maxon turret for this purpose.

Best review i've seen so far on AH .. and it's the first after the BIG update of V1.03 .. the others should do the same IMO as this ain't the same AH that it was 2 month ago

Ok...I read it. Says "4 50mm guns"
BIG difference between .50cal and 50mm. A 50mm round would have a diameter of about 2.5 inches vs a little under an inch for a .50 cal.
Baddawg has already stated that its a typo. :P

Before a fist fight breaks out, it should be noted that I made a correction after the article was initially published.
So you are both right. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I have always hummed and hawed about whether or not it defies some sort of editorial principle to make a change to a piece after is has been initially published. After much thought I have concluded that it doesn't in so long as it is just correction of errata and that context or substance hasn't changed.
One of the glories and pitfalls of web based publishing is that it isn't static. I know of plenty of writers and editors who wish they could make changes after copy has gone to press. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Newspapers and magazines publish notes in subsquent issues as necessary and novelists that are fortunate enough to get a reprinting make changes to new editions.
Anyhoo, thanks for pointing it out!
