Beta testers coming forward at WWII Online!

[Thud]

I heard from several beta-testers that the FM is terrible, 109's can turnfight spit's and all planes act as unnatural as WB's 2.77. Seems the aerial combat isn't quite on par with the ground combat, eh?

Bring the Hurricane (MKIIC) to AH! (together with the Invader!)

FM's are always a hot topic, but I think it comes down to ones taste...'it feels right' type attitude.  WW2 Online boasts realistic gameplay, (ie. no direct 6 views, etc) so again, its up to the consumer to determine if the FM is correct to their standards of immersion, gameplay.

How's that for a politically correct answer?

 Perfectly "PC" Ripsnort     Which is why Air Warrior is still the best around.

LOL westy!

I keep hearing this phrase.." .. heard from several beta testers that say the FM is terrible (porked, chopped, bad, horrible, not realistic..)..."

I've heard from many folks who say that AH's fm is horrible, terrible, bad, porked.. Heck I've even had my complaints about the E retention, torqueless modelling.  So really, it's up to the individual as Ripsnort says.

What gets me is those who are so quick to ditch WW2Online based upon what a few of their "close friends" said.  If' I'd listened to my "close friends", I'd never had played AH in the first place.

I think that most people are just tired of people coming to the AH boards with their pom-poms to cheer about another product that they haven't even seen yet.

"What gets me is those who are so quick to ditch WW2Online based upon what a few of their "close friends" said."

What gets me is those who are so quick to praise WW2OL based upon what a few people said on their boards (violating their NDA apparently).

Touche Mickey. Good observation and dead on I might add.

If the $40 is a big bite out of your wallet, I very strongly advice looking at first impressions before purchasing.

Thud: Actually I've read from several places that the 109 outturned spitfire at _low_ speeds because of the slats used in its wings. At high speed situation was reversed and spitfire outturned it easy.

That's not how it happens in Aces High atm.

IMO all LW planes are porked intentionally in Aces High, to show less performance than their real-life counterparts did.

This doesn't mean WW2OL FM is accurate however..

There has been a lot of AW folks ranting on the board about their superior FM which resembles WW2OL one..

I hope this is a joke...

The slats helped low speed stability, it did not help the 109E turn inside of the Spitfire. At high speeds the 109E turned inside of the Spitfire, at low speeds the opposite was true.

Well..regardless, could this explain why the 109E outturns the Spit in WW2 Online, according to some "close friend beta testers" ?

If we wanna start talking about flaws in the FM, it doesn't take long to find numerous threads pointing out the issues with AH's FM. Yet everyone is content to pay $30 a month, even those who are not satisifed with the fm.  The point being, WW2 Online will have it's flaws, but it's theatre wide gameplay is enuff for me at least to not ditch it until I've tried it.

I'm just saying it's a misconception that the 109E's slats allowed it to turn inside the Spit Mk1 and Mk2 at low speeds.

Other than that... <shrug>
