Post by: Wanker on July 11, 2003, 10:01:19 AM: No, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try when it's done. WWI air combat strikes my fancy even more than WWII air combat.

Post by: Cabby44 on July 11, 2003, 10:07:35 AM: Here's a weak JPEG of DOA III. It looks MUCH better in-game. The planes are difficult to fly well, no one-shot-one-kill "blooey guns" or dis-engaging at will in an "uber-plane" here. Tri-planes and bi-planes have restricted visibility obviously. All in all, a great game for WWI afficianados........

Post by: WestyAH on July 11, 2003, 02:54:36 PM: If any era ever so badly needed an HTC type of view system it's that of WWI. While the DOA III screenshots do look good IMO it's already crippled as a "sim" if it's using the antiquated AW/WB view model.

Post by: Fishu on July 12, 2003, 05:02:32 PM: DoA was fun in the past when I used to play it :D

I did have a good success.. most memorable is the one where I succeeded in making 96 kills in 14 flights and 1 loss. (and the 1 loss happened when I tried to help a friendly.. then got nailed at extreme range when almost got ran away from enemies.. yay.. but I took 8 of them :>)

Was that back when you used to walk to school barefoot in the snow, uphill (both ways), all year long without summer break, eating only bread and water for sustainment...and you still managed straight A's?

Post by: Toad on July 12, 2003, 09:19:46 PM: Hmmmmmmmmmmm.... all about air to air combat?

No GV's, no player or AI ack? No "base capture"?

I might be pretty interested if that was the case.

Been awhile since I flew DOA 2, the guns and uber planes were that bad, eh?

Post by: Cabby44 on July 13, 2003, 10:31:55 AM: ^That refers to WWII cannon-armed planes, not WWI bi-planes. Obviously, flying the WWI crates is a bit different then B n Z'ing in a 400 mph FW-190 or F4U-4C..........

Oh, so it takes you about 5 min of being parked on someones butt in order to kill them while their friends come in and pick you clean, I get it! ;)

Seriously, WW1 bi-planes are fun, but if this is the WB engine...well...all I can say is "have fun!"
