(Wargamer has replaced the void due to the loss of two good sitesfor sim news; Playnet drove Dogfighter.com right into the ground and iENSimHQ is far too biased now - and the articles are not as good there any more. Thanks Sabre and crew for the reallygood articles and wide spectrum of genres you cover!!)

Yea, I noted stuff on DogFighter.Com seemed really dated and pretty stale.

The wargamer site was slow, but I finally got to read the entire interview, not bad.

Yep, but only for a couple months at that point. So far, it's been working out pretty good.

Post by: devious on August 30, 2002, 03:09:38 AM: I'm betting on PzKpfw VI Ausf. E "Tiger"

Hmmm 88mm KwK 36/L51 - using AP (PzGr 40), 930 m/s muzzle velocity, penetrates 156mm armor-grade steel at 500m, 140 at 1000m and 110 at 2000m !

Post by: Halo on August 30, 2002, 11:12:41 AM: Finally got to read the entire wargamer article. Nice work, Sabre.

Hmmm, a TIGER tank? Great fun, but as destabilizing to ground warfare as the B-29 would be to the air war. Tigers ate Shermans and everything else by the dozens. Will be interesting to see the perks on that.

Of course the Tiger and B-29 were WWII masterpieces, so naturally they should be added, and if any company can do them right, it's HiTech Creations.

Post by: Seagoon on August 30, 2002, 10:39:37 PM: Glad to see HT reads the boards...

Personally I would have like the first person shooter stuff moved ahead of the missions arena - that would have been a Biiiiiig boost to the player base as well as the MOHAA, RTCW, BG1942 style players might have been interested. I would have enjoyed that too, especially when I'm having a bad "air" day.

Still, its his puppy, glad he's still devoted to it's care and feeding! Sabre and HT!

Post by: Lizard3 on August 31, 2002, 04:29:56 AM: Tony the Tiger! Weeee!

Question...Since we know its going to be perked, and probably allot, how are we going to keep our perks? A ditch or anything close to it and you've lost em. Will we get a new "warp back to whence you came button"? Will you absolutely have to take your objective and land there? I for one will run out of perks quickly if I have to drive 2 hours back to my original hanger...
