[waystin2]

Ok what do we have that they dont? Why are we better?

Flying Pigs!   OINK

[RitzCH]

I believe the only reason most fly warbirds is for the MAC platform.  Other than that AH is all around better

Same here, WB 1996-2002.

When IEN took over, they just sat on it and did nothing. Its a waste of time. Any time a game has a "Player Development Corps" thats code for "the company itself wont make any improvements", beware, and move on.

The players were a fun bunch, but most of them I think are here now, like me.

AH has a viable business, and therefore, a future.

Yup I remember you there.

For me, it was just realising one day that "Wild Bill" didnt give a s*** about us or the game and was just milking the thing for all it was worth. I wont spend another bent nickel keeping him in food and lodging.

I rate Warbirds on par with Timeshares and Life Insurance for money well spent.

Hmmmm should I mention that I told you so before I left?  You didn't notice that he FIRED/got rid of all the original programmers?

That he was blowin smoke?  That he was NOT going to do anything but collect your money?

[wrag]

The thing I miss least is having everything from FM's to arena settings vary wildly from whim to whim and day to day with no notice - no consistency and no sense.  There are some good joes that work over there (Skydiver and Target are top notch in my book) but it's like bailing the tide with a tin cup.   

AH II is the what "Warbirds III" was supposed to be.

<S>

I complained about the FM DM SEEMING to change daily many times BEFORE I left.

well i think the only thing better in WB, is the graphics, and yes they are better, BUT and thats a big BUT, everything else is crap compared to AH.

[Krusty]

Thanks for the perspective, flubby!


bubbaj: The reason the numbers dropped when the scores were split is because people were using the un-populated EW and MW to score-pad and vulch their second accounts, steal dozens of bases without opposition, and basically get ranked #1, #2, get their name on the front page, for no real work. The second HTC split the scores up it dropped because these folks realized they can't do that anymore.

So I never played WB, but who made WB?

[Ghosth]

Well for me the final straw was HS telling me unless I had an engineers degree nothing I said mattered.

Well yeah ok HS, I see your point, time to hit the road.
Hit the ground running here and never looked back.


To all the people who complain about early and midwar aircraft. Go right ahead and jump into one in Early or Mid War arena.
Its not hard at all to find a fight, especially if your willing to switch to the low side.
Someone is always milk running something in there. Just spend a minute looking at the map to see where they are.

I have flown WB since version 1.07 1997 and I'm still a trainer over  there.
My player id in WB is =save=
My player id in AH2 is gr8sh0t

AH2 is a better GAME than WB - period.
It is in all respects not a better sim though IMO.
I list a few things that  comes into my mind


AH2 pro:s

#of players online
Development
can be run on a mediocre machine
strategic bombing and strategy as a whole much better
weather implementation
loses more parts and pilot wound etc
you can jump from plane to plane with command in buffs
30mms and 20mms gives good results.

WB pro's:
MAC support
Planes looks better if you have a highend computer
shock waves of bombs + smoke + fires nice looking
AI otto and 6-calls - formation flying with buffs
Dispersion better and kills are much harder to achieve
new FM's of new 109e and spit1 outstanding
Very seldom ""#LAnoob¤&BS%&#gay" language on international channel = mature community
Scenarios Eurotime



Both games has its FM flaws :

WB ki84 and j2m FM UFO
AH early planes like hurricane and 110c are just not believable - they can hang on to a 109g2 for a loong time speed wise and acceleration.
remember both where considered outdated 1941 for a good reason.
Ground war in both sims can be considerer to be bad jokes compared with ww2onlines extensive modelling - flying sucks over there though


conclusion : competition is good for us customers

I complained about the FM DM SEEMING to change daily many times BEFORE I left.

So. Let me get this straight. All I need to do is somehow get the WB people to get off their collective rear ends and I won't have to hear you sing on squad vox anymore?

 


Anyone got a phone number for WB?
