It proves the point though....

Graphics save a game the same way a new font saves a book.....

It doesn't.

It's the story; the "reader experience" that counts.

AS I said above.... I don't post often but I think after reading
some of the responses to this thread that in general.. and I mean in general... the over all quality of the SIM community has gone down.. at least in the the AH SIM. I'm not speaking of ability and
kill ratios ( I can't as I'm pretty bad). I'm speaking of the nastiness that pervades these boards and the MA in general !

AW was the better game out of the two while AH was the better sim.

With relaxed realism included, I'd agree AKAK, but I only flew a couple sorties in RR in 3 years of AW so I'm not iin the best spot to judge it as a whole...

But AW did have the greatest sentence ever recorded in the history of the English language: A kill has been recorded.

And I'll second that.

Thanks for the screenie HUN! It brought back MANY memories. I note that it was in 2D also... which I always played because of the clarity, no matter how powerful my machine was.

ROFL... the G-meter... pulling 7.5 Gs in RR made flying in FR a real steep learning curve.

I think that I would go back to AW in a heartbeat. AH is superior in every way but one: game play. Are we ever going to see the Tour of Duty Arena, or is it no longer a possibility?

I miss the jeep and truck races we used to have at N86 or the jeep jumping contest over the bridges.

If AW did come back, it would have to be the one we knew and loved. Otherwise it would be just another flight sim. Subtle things like seeing the guys name who is in the room, the way AW did it, opposed to how AH does it seems to make a big difference to me. In AW it felt as though thet were in the room..in here...I dont know..it just doesnt.

Of all the other games out there Ive tried, AH does seem the closest to how AW was though. The addition of briefing rooms, harder structures and more damage downtime of structures of 1/2hr like AW was would help as well.
