They have a section where they review games from a LW stand point and give a favourable review to AH. Note the reduced system reqs vs IL2. Good but short write up I thought..about a 6 inch long column.

Hmmmmm.  I can run IL2 full blast on my system no problems, can't say the same for AH2.

Skuzzy has stated in the Tech Support forum that no current computer can run AH2 at full detail.

Food for thought.

IL2 does definitly have a better graphics to hardware ratio.

ummm I can run ah2 at full. no problems. usually fps at about 40.... IF I turn animated water on it drops framerate about 5 fps. Which is remarkeable because when it first became an option 2.01 i think it dropped me to single digit frames.

I get way better frames from AH then Il2 with my 2500. But I dont have either maxed.
It was a special edtion on the LW. Like I said. I didnt buy it just browsed it.

Then there must be something wrong somewhere as the graphics in AH2 are hardly anything to bring a system to it's knees.

But they are better than Il-2's. Yes, they are --- potentially. The Ki-84 and B-24J look better than Il-2's planes. That said, when all of our aircraft are pushed to AHII standards, we'll have a better-looking game than Il-2.

Also, take into account that AHII has much better flight models. I played Forgotten Battles just yesterday, and it made me really want to go back to AHII.

To address the issue of the framerates on AHII... It probably has to do with optimization. Just look at how Valve optimized HL2 for the Radeon series of GPU's. It runs MUCH faster on a Radeon than it does on a GeForce. I think the problem is that HTC hasn't optimized AHII for any specific card and processor, along with a sound card.
