Best release yet? or does V1.05 still hold that distinction?
IMO, this release was the best yet...
-
I agree, this release is the best one yet.
-
Well, I was a dissapointed to learn that this is the ONLY map. I like the pizza map. It is challenging. But it is not the only one I want to see week-in and week-out. I miss green stuff and deep blue water. ;)
I really don't like the calibration function on the bombing. The other changes to the bombing are fine, including the bomb scatter. IMO, the calibration is overly complex and causes more inaccuracy than the scatter. Maybe this is more realistic. But this is a game and I play it for fun and sometimes fun games are not completely realistic. I've definitely noticed a heavy reliance on JABO and far fewer bombers in the air since 1.10 has come out.
Now that the map is so big, the map view screen is way to small and makes it very difficult to identify where I need/want to be. I'd like a funtion that allows a full screen or small screen map view.
But otherwise, I am very pleased with the new plane set, play funtions and the new map.
-
Well, my gunnery is still the same as it used to be in 0.44 (or was that 0.64?), but yeah, I do like this release. The only thing this version lacks is an anty-whine shield...
-
Carriers (1.05) is still the best release ever for me.
-
Did a 2 week thing in tour but fly here since tour 3 dunno if this counts.
1.09 for me 109e4 110s :)
when we get d9?
that was 2nd favorite
1.10 would be 3rd
-
Hmmm my high water mark is 1.02 where we got GV's.
Stayed up all night it seemed with my bro Teeeerex shooting down planes in panzers.
Does this release beat that in terms of features, new stuff in the game? Yes, 1.10 is best ever for now. Lots of new planes, new features, fun stuff to experiment with.
It rocks and so does all the staff at HTC.
-
Too me by far the best release was the one with the CV groups!
that one just added so much to the game it just made it a WHOLE new game!
I like this release i just think the map as it is should be broken down so that the 3 regions are broken down into somthing like :
1 is snow
1 is green/ grassy
1 is desert
that way it just kinda represents all the areas that WW2 was faught in. Plus i get sick of all that damn desert all the time.!
AK's did a great job on the terrain just that one minor switch would make this PIZZA PIE MAP awsome!
just my thoughts no whines and no squeakes.........
AK's and HT
box ;)
-
I have to agree with Fatty. I think the introduction of carriers in 1.05 was the best release (well, my favorite at least). This one is a very close second with the introduction of all the new planes and gameplay changes/innovations.

Was that V1.05? Aye, thats what I meant in my original post, editted.
-
The best was the very first beta. It was an amazing change coming from WarBirds. Even with the limited planeset, map and all the bugs, I knew that AH had much more potential than WB. The FM and gunnery seemed much more realistic, IMO.
Never the less, this release is a great one. I love the bomber 3-ships, and hate the new bombsight (I't might be awile till I'm proficient with it). The new planes are great, and the new map has created some breathing room and more can now be found in the MA than mass furballs. I'm having more fun in the MA lately than I've had in months.

I liked 1.03 the best, but I've been having fun with all of them.
-
Yeah, I think 1.10 has to be the best for me, though 1.03 was the next best imo. It just keeps getting better ;)
-
I concur...1.10 is being very good :)
Although I think I rather like old FM...
Cheers,

Ahh, the Pre-V1.03/4 FM? Me too.
-
Lotta people like the 1.03 FM... but it was still wrong.
-SW

Despite my issues with the map, I think this is the 2nd best release yet. Best has to be the CV release. Did a 2 weeker back in Tour 1, didn't start paying until Tour 5...does that make me a "vet"? ;)
-
Hey Raub, if you did two weeks free and you flew online, yep! :)
-
I miss the beta map and sfterr (i think thats the name.. the 10k A1 map).
v1.05 was great. Carriers and loads of other things. Map rotations began with that version too!
-
CV's was the best
-
I think the new release is fine. But even if I didn't; for $.50 a day it would have to get pretty damn bad before I'd even think about leaving.
I just don't understand how so many people can make such an ordeal out of this game. They act like some one stole their puppy when they don't get exactly what they want, exactly when they want it.:rolleyes:
-
Still miss the original FM...so everything from 1.4 (?) has been downhill :). I let my account expire by accident (cancelled credit card) while I was traveling alot (sigh got to be 2000+ perkies I've lost that way:(). I'd say 1.10 is another evolution in the game though. downloaded it over holiday so I'll be up soon. Anyway, It's amazing to find a game that redefines the flight sim...then does it again in less than 2 years.
-
This was not only my fav, but the smartest release to date.
That HT guy must know what he's doing.
-
1.05 with 1.10 very close.
Remember my first view of 2 cv groups in battle with all that tracers. Amazing. Fps gone through chimney the first days till patch was out ;-)

-
V0.33 Leaving FA and finding AH the first day of open Beta was the best. The rest has been gravy :)
-
Best of all for me, ever, was 1.02.(addition of ground vehicles and that big map with center mountain, heck I liked that map a lot)
In my order of preferences, 1.02 was followed by 1.03 (Fw190A5, finally,hehe), and that version where we got 3 new Fw190s (F8,D9 and Ta152 :D) in a single stroke. However those two were far from being as nice as 1.02 :)
The worse of all (well, the lest good) for me was 1.04. I honestly hated the new FM, but once I got the touch of it, it was ok again . I Still miss the old FM,tho, no matter how wrong it was. :)
1.05 was neutral for me. Not good, not bad. I've really never cared about the fleet, to be honest :)
-
Will always miss the old(wrong) flight model. While the bomber changes are the best thing to ever happen to them in the AH since they let us drop hangers.....I dont know about the rest. I dont know anything about the new strat model...
I would have to rate whichever release put in the perk system as better then this one...
-
I don't have any particular favorite version. All of 'em have been good, and added something new to the game.
I do like this version tho, cuz they added the F4F4... and the new smoke effects are pretty cool.
Although, I'd still like to see planes going down after the pilot bails out rather than the current mutation into a chute.
Then that will prolly be the best version for me.
Otherwise, they've all been good for me.
-SW
-
This is my favorite, because of one thing --- the new rocket smoke.
I do all my chute shooting with rockets. And it's important for me to know that the last thing the little guy sees is a visually appealing smoke trail coming at his head.
The new planes, map, bombers, and other stuff are pretty good too.
-
what differences of FM between pre 1. 04 and the current version?
-
Darkglam- energy burned off most planes in one or two turns, then they were wallowing targets in the sky as they stalled.
Most people who liked the 1.03 FM flew BnZ aircraft.

ROTFLOL! Thanks, gonna have to try that one!
-
I think 1.10 or 1.05 is the best for me. 1.09 was actually a great one too with AHV because that has completely changed the game for me as well.
I remember playing the beta and being completely wowed by the tracers (compared to warbirds). I can't remember off the top of my head if the control surfaces moved in wb2 but i also remember being pretty impressed that they did in here
after ah went pay i didn't have the money to subscribe (being a lowly high school senior) so i dropped my account and then came back for a two week trial when the GVs were introduced. those were wicked cool and at the time i tried real hard to get my friends to play the game with me.
when i subscribed in fall of 2000, 1.04 was incredible fun and then of course the AK scenario which really dragged me in. I dont think i would have kept with the game if it wasn't for that scenario because i had such a good time panzerdriving with dinger. right after that i begged hb to let me be one of his cronies and he said yes and then it was all downhill from there :)
it seems like every new release we get some cool new feature that really adds to the game.
-
Yup 1.10 great...but I liked the version before they fixed the A5 :p
-
1.02 when i first find out AH
and offcourse 1.11 when they at last releases 2 extra models from the P38
I also like to mention 1.14 when they release this :
:D
-
1.03 I miss that old FM :(
-
The release with the CVs was the best. Release 1.10 is second best till 1.11 is out.
-
Someday we will get a release that revamps the graphics engine with realistic terrain and low level weather like Falcon 4.0 or realism and feel like IL2 or damage etc... in Janes WWII Fighters. The more the better!
-
I'm a pure T&B flier and loved the old FM...it certainly gave the edge to B&Zer's but you could force em to burn E awful fast also...what was nice is it rewarded good ACM. You really had to fly the edge of the envelope. Even though I was on wrong end most of the time it was still most intense fighting I've ever been in a "game".
-
I second that Bug, with the release of the 38, ive been happy ever since.
-
When Kelton finally figured out how to get Full Time flight, rather than Half Time flight, working over a 2400 baud connection back on the old GEnie network. That was the best release yet.
Er wait, that was Air Warrior, about a decade ago.
Well, still the best release yet imo, certainly from a historically significant perspective.
This one was really cool too though :).
-
I Alway here that the FM of AH and Warbirds are so different LOL. the same guys that did Warbirds also created AH and the FM IMHO aren't so different at all.
the only thing that's different is the way certain planes compare to Warbirds. like the d9 but they fly pretty much the same. not like AW and AH. totally different FM.
-
the one that will bring gunnery tro Il-2 Sturmovik level...
-
Every new release has me waiting anxiously and I have yet to be disappointed. None of you has mentioned 'Jet-day' (the introduction of the 262), which I really loved being a part of. I can't choose a favorite, because they've all added more fun upon fun. I do have a fond memory of the 10k A1 map, as I used to love racing down the hill in a panzer and wading through the ack southwest of A1.
There's no looking back, though, as systems improve and we get more-and-more players into the game progress must continue forth. Here's to HTC and may you all continue to be inspired!
-
1.03 - no doubt... the initial release with the Ueber-A5!!! God, was I amazed when I first flew that plane... ;)
Still like the old FM better!! Realism, gameplay concession? Who knows what devile rode HTC for 1.04 :D ! Remember chasing his "new FM" spit around - UFO-like... well, one wouldnt recognize an UFO amongst UFOs nowadays... ;)
---
BETA was the most fascinating release of course... awe, those were the times! Would like a ressurection of the old beta "central-mountain" map!!! God, was sneaking goons through canyons fun!!
-
Whatever rev that was that got rid of the external view on fighters (was that 0.8x or what?), now I can actually sneak up on folks :)
Seriously, I think 1.10.1 is the best one yet, and am looking forward to 1.10.2 (they just keep getting better)!
-
I loved the old beta central mountain map, we had alot of fun on that. The pizza n beer high ona hill way up north, I would go on missions just to bomb it and laugh my ars off :D
Still, I love em all :)
-
Version 0.33 (if i remember) is best for me.
That was my first version of AH.
That was impressive.
-
Kirin, u forget NIK...
-
No doubt at all, 1.03.
-
I'm with Jimbear & Mitsu. 0.33. I couldn't believe how it looked. Eye popping.
-
Every new release expands, and enhances....However with 1.05 CV's did AH make a significant change for the better

Kirin spoke with HT and the Beta Map is coming back in the new format. My favorite map, and from what I've heard a lot of others also liked the Beta Map very much.
