I am not sure I'm excited to fly at 120mph.  But we'll see.

Should make for a nice change of pace from time to time, just like the old AW WW1 arena. 

A WW1 FSO/scenario/snapshot will be a lot of fun though.  And WW1 KOTH!  Kaiser of the Hill!

Looks outstanding.  I look forward to HTC's flight modelling experience applied to this era, though I have to wonder how much data is available.

Didn't HiTech write some of the original manuals?
Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.

To each his own I suppose.

This is my opinion: Neat and all, but I prefer WWII area. I'm sure some are overly excited for a WWI arena, and thats fine.  I still prefer WWII area and the leaps and bounds in technology that came from that area. I may try it couple times, but WWII era is why I'm here.  :joystick:

Very cool, really... but ditto what 5PointOh said.  I'm here for WWII, even though the WWI stuff is really very cool.  I hope it all works, and gets support from the community because variety is good.  I'll play it and maybe learn to love it.  We'll see.  I guess I'm warming up to it.

I'll prolly be more excited about building missions with the new planes.  Pea-shooter missions.

Interesting thought, there. Will FSO occasionally cover WWI, or would we be seeing separate special events for it?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

The default skin seems to depict Hans Weiss' aircraft from Jasta 11.

I'll try it but at 100 mph that's a long flight out.
One would assume the bases will be closer together than in WWII Aces High.


I am curious if they will model the engines and throttles.  A modern pilot talks about the Sopwith Camel's engine and throttle

Sounds like it's going to be a fun arena and the most interesting part is the statement about the new damage model.  Eager to see that in action.

No.  It will be just another arena in the arena list.

From the work done in DOA, I would say that they will.

Guess I need to break out my 3D apps and start dabbling in skins again.

I think its fantastic,why shouldnt AH be all about other periods of air combat? everyone can always fly their own chosen period,be nice to have a break from WW2 combat to fly WW1 or vice versa.Wtg guys :D
