Title: Can't ya just feel the love?
Post by: Ripsnort on July 24, 2000, 02:48:00 PM
Can't ya just feel the love that MG (Macboy) portrays?

Here's a lesson all AH and WB players can learn: Never let a game/sim get you this bitter: http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw/Forum3/HTML/013540.html (http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw/Forum3/HTML/013540.html)

I've flown in that arena on the same country at the same time as MG, and I concur with -bobn-.  You can take the dweeb out of the MA but you can't take the MA out of the dweeb.

I haven't, but my point is, you have to learn to walk before you can run.  They better hope that WW2 Online flight model is what they advertise its going be or there will be alot of computers thrown out the 2nd floor of apartment buildings.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Troll or not he's fast becoming a poster boy for WB's and it's not a flattering picture.

 Macboy is an fool. He blames AH that is only 6 months in production for missing features, but praises the same features in WWIIOL that does not even have a demo yet.
 But for all his personal faults, Macboy does have a point.

  ***Right now*** AH does not have the planeset, terrains and many features to allow us something like WB WWII Arena ***because the game is still in its infancy***. They do seem to have provisions for developing all that (terrain editor, mission editor, better plane modelling environment) and working on them.

 I sincerely hope that once they have enough planes, strategy features, available terrains and enough players to fill the arenas, we do get a similar realistic setup.
 I do hope that we will be able to have all the features of WWIIOL in one of the AH arenas.

 WB WWII arena is a huge success among many people (and is hated by many others). What is more important, people who like it are the ones I would like to fly with!
 I would gladly take an extra 5% error (no more then 10%, at most) in the flight model if I could have more realistic WWII fighting (not just flying) experience.

 Individual aircraft of the identical make differed by more then 10% in the RL field conditions, so my imagination can compensate for the mild FM deficiencies. It cannot compensate for my Bf109E being attacked by Me262.

Jezuz. If he don't like AH why doesn't he just stay away.

This kid needs some serious shrink-time.

Oh well, I own a PC, I fly AH, I enjoy it, I don't mind forking out the cash. Funny to think that my enjoyment of AH drives this kid insane.

That's what gets me the most about MG, he isn't attacking AH so much as he is attacking HT & Pyro. It's like he has focused on them as the cause of everything from World Hunger to the Depleted Ozone.

Not to drag anyone else into it, but I was surprised to read Cabby's post on AGW, where he ALMOST/KINDA SORTA sounded postive in a Aces High topic.

Anyway, if HT & Pyro are the cause of World Hunger and the Depleted Ozone, I'll forgive em, as long as I gets my FW 190 DORA soon  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Well, I am sure that this is just a HTC trick.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) They use that MacBoy to advertise the game; well, after each throll all you guys start telling how good the game is and how stupid MacBoy is to say bad word about the best game of all times, so you all attracting new ppl here  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Sheesh.

Is this thread really necessary??  Ripl, you disappoint me.  Again.  Can you say "s*** disturber"???  

It does seem MG has it in for Pyro and Hitech.  Much like some people posted extreme dislike for Hotseat, Divine, and other iEN people in AGW.  As if i, and the vast majority of players, could give a damn.  No one likes those types of posts.

JV44 captured 2 Allied fields in the WW2 Arena in less than an hour during Monday Nite Prime Time, 7/24, using FW-190A's, Me-110's, and a JU-52.  Our opposition was Spitfires and P-51B's.

As Dai 44 Kaigun Kokutai, we forced the USN Hellcat's and Corsairs, and a few USAAF P-40's and P-38's,  back from Japanese Territory scoring many kills in the process.  We flew A6M's, Ki-61's, and Ki-43's.

Had a blast. No stupid dweebery like Mustang vs. Mustang, Hellcat vs. Hellcat took place.

Dunno who you are RAM, but i've played both AH and WB's.  AH is a great game.  If WBIII fails to impress, i will play either AH or WWIIOL or both.  We will see. But WB's WW2 Arena blows the doors off AH for fun.  No contest.

I don't have to convince myself of that fact.  I know it.  

Flame on, i could care less.  I'm still waiting for AH to mature a little more.  It's great, but not quite there (for me)yet.

Cabby-

I applaud you in that you are trying to keep an open mind about all the sims. We may not agree on what is good or bad, but at least I can see that you are trying to formulate an informed opinion. S!

As far as MG is concerned, let's just say if he doesn't post here, there is no reason to be upset about what he has to say.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Giving those posts attention is what he wants, so why give in?

Post by: Wardog on July 24, 2000, 09:55:00 PM
cabby..

Its taken WB a little over 5 years to come up with that arena. I know,ive been flying WB since beta and still hold 2 accounts (waiting to see what WBIII might bring).

Since AH went into production they have come a long way in 7 months. So you worry about to much to soon.

And i found a good use for the Mac i got, the rest of you boys really should try it out to.

I gutted it out & have a very beautyfull Salt water Aquarium. MG was right,much better colors than the PC..

Cabby,
<S>...well said.  I like AH so I fly here, but hey..with all the new stuff due out, and to paraphrase Yak..Its a great time to be a flight simmer.

I look forward to our plane set getting filled out, and hopefully some trains, railyards and bridges, and re-supply convoys and a Axis/Allies thing to play here.  I think they can do it, it will just take a little time.  I think the WW2 Arena is a good idea.

Kieren I agree....just let the guy post there...who cares really??  It looks like most folks see it for the troll that it is.  No need to bring it over here and stir the pot.

It was quiet and peaceful for awhile between the communities, lets not start all that crap again.  There will be time enough for that when and if the release WBIII.

Damn that MG a angry fella. Must be personal between him and HTC. If ya read that thread, he sure nailed Rip and Ram perfect though.

MG/Rip.. different names but same thing they have done to the competing products and same thing they are doing still.. sad that Rip actually started it all.. he was clearly worried early on post-AH-beta that his new game/love wouldn't get the numbers so he started recruiting up AH and bashing WB hoping that he could sway a few.. someone forgot to tell him that it wasn't needed..

I assume what he did wasn't officially condoned by HTC...  and he's a trainer too..

Cabby can you cuote me EVER saying WB is a bad sim? please try to do it, but I assure you'll have some SERIOUS trouble finding it, because I always said that Wb is a great sim but AH is way better IMO.


My comment on MG trying to convince hiself that Wb is better than AH is another thing, tho. AH is way better than Wb from my point of view, but seems that he thinks just the same...but the fact that AH is not on Mac version pisses him off so much that he simply blews toejam on it all day long.

Dont misquote me. Wb is a great sim, AH is a great sim. Ones will like one sim more than the other, but for what it seems, MG thinks that AH is better than Wb.

But he cant fly it.

Thats why I repeat...

The poor guy tries to convince himself that he flies something better than AH...lol...

Cabby,

While we don't often agree on an issue, on this we are in complete agreement. I have always hated the "fantasy" matchups in the WB and AH main arenas. I could care less whether or not a P-51 could outfight a Spit XIV, or whether a 109G10 could outfight a FW-190A5.

I can't wait for the day that AH has a "WW2" arena like WB's.

WW2 was all about the different technologies and philosophies used by the conflicting sides. We shouldn't have to hold special grudge match "P-51 vs. FW190A5" brawls like the one last Sunday. It should, instead, be a regular occurance in the MA.

And wait till ya'll see the BOB Terrain!  WhooHoo! it is cool.  So is the Pearl harbour Terrain for that matter.

This is really about all HTC needs to do is release the terrain editor(even to the CM's only) to create some real fun.  New planes are a given, but real maps are what it is about.

p.s.  Ignore MG, he will go away, or at least quit his flaming.
