AH vs. FA #2
« on: January 17, 2002, 07:56:14 PM »
AH community,

Thanks for all the answers on my previous post.

I did not know there was a full one week free trial which makes it a no brainer to test.

One of the things i really like with FA is, as many pointed out, the TC rooms where the ground war is included. I am in the FA3 BETA and i do think that graphics is really good and the ground war is now extended to sea. Carriers etc. Really cool. The fact that it is not owned by MS anymore is a real plus from a community point of view.

Does AH have similar functionality such as strategic ground war or is it only dogfighting in air, on sea and on land?

Can someone tell me about the squad community as well?

Many of the comments on my previous mail stated that it is much harder to fly AH than FA, why is that? Is it more realism or what?

Does AH have the room philosophy as FA have, different rooms for different type of play?

What about events?

How many people are normally online during normal hours?

What countries is represented (to fight for)?

When is the next release expected and what is it expected to have?

Tell me a little about the community?

Opppss, many questions but i suppose i am just curious.

We're a buncha nasty mean critters with no lives that fall upon each other in a never ending three sided war where 1 country is always bein gang banged by the other two on servers that are already over-populated with 2'nd rate WWII air combat game refugees..

But to know us is to love us. :)

The REAL answers to your questions can be best addressed by a free TWO week trial that does not even require a credit card. And.. (wow; check THIS out!) there's even free play forever in HTH mode as well as FREE tutorials and help via the interactive web pages! Imagine! A game where we can tell yah "RTFM" and there really is a manual!!

Hope you come visit us soon!! (pack a chute, 'cause we like to shoot them too)

Tumor,

By ground war i mean the AI Territory Combat piece where you fight for resources and you fly but the war is going on on the ground. Pretty cool and adds a strategical piece to the game.

I was going to anwser this step by step but just do the 2 week trial because every thing that you would have liked to be able to do in FA you can do with bells on in AH.:D
& fa3 looks crap as well.
