World of Aircraft...vs...Aces High...We need to WIN

[Kazaa]

why would you compare the lowest to the highest


 if I had to play on the lowest setting I would still take AH over RoF  or any of the other wanna be combat sims.

Read the question in my post and you'll find the answer.

I wouldn't call RoF a wanna be combat sim, it has graphics that are far superior than what AH can do and a flight and physics model that is just as good, if not better than AH.

Clearly #2 is more realistic, but if you have the machine to play ROF as you see it in the screenshot, then you'll be able to run AH at full settings as well.

Take a screenshot of AH with full eyecandy and graphics maxed out, and then compare it to that RoF screenshot, and you'll get a better look at the difference we're talking about.

I won't argue... perhaps you're machine isn't capable of turning down the settings as far as I can.  Must have a different version of the game.

Yes, they are the lowest possible settings.

well obviously when you compare the worst and best of two games the worst will look less immersive....

kinda silly to think otherwise

how many people online at one time in RoF...WoP....CoD.....??????

all three of those "combat sims" "flight sims" what ever you want to call them...I have

I will agree they look good...but this game is about the fight...Combat with hundreds and hundreds of players online at one time in one arena.....

hell cliffs as soon as I got over land literally it was a slide show....off line

HTC would lose half his customers if they went that route....he has an awesome balance for the most systems.....  


I personally think he is doing a great job at giving us a game that looks good but performs awesome.

its also much more limited then AH..IE ONLY WW1 planes limited types of ammo ECT ECT..and I would not say the graphics are far superior..better yes.....I totally disagree with the flight model being better.

Looks pretty simmy to me, although I've never piloted an aircraft in such a fashion so it would be impossible for someone like me to compare RoF physics to real life.

I was trying to make a point with Tank-Ace, obviously it went a little over your head...

I'm in the same boat as you. I much prefer Aces High's MMO style of gamepaly over 16-32-64 player servers; I feel so much more immersed when the actions I take can have an effect on the whole virtual world...

Going by what I read on various forums, CoD was a complete failure. Didn't the big cheese (what's his name?) leave the company after CoD was released?

[ink]

haha I was just reading their forums.....

someone was happy they had 12 people on

Oleg had stepped down during development of CoD.

ack-ack

Oleg play Aces High, does that tell you something?

In my mind Aces High has something none of these other flight sims mentioned has... 400+ players online in one arena on a tuesday night in january. Combine the MMO aspect with the great connectivity, great gameplay and actually impressively realistic ACM simulation of WW2 era props... and you can't really compare it with any other flight sim. The MMO aspect of AH is what stands out. The game is being worked on and improved constantly so what are you complaining about really? I'm sure HTC are fully aware of what they have, and want to improve it just as much as you do, if not more. Sure it's good to hear what people want but really... you don't think they can figure that out themselves? Like Skuzzy already pointed out, most of it is artwork related and while time consuming perhaps not all that difficult to implement. The difficult part is to get to where AH already is, and that is value right there... the graphics actually has little to do with it. Think about it, what do you pay for? A paying customer is a happy customer, right?

[49Jester]

not so sure about that, I just tried WoT, and its pretty darn good. Graphics and gameplay are all done well. Our GV's might want to sit up and take notice

[SilverZ06]

[Tank-Ace]

I've been playing it for a while, and I've been playing it less and less.



Honestly, WG doesn't know what the hell they're doing. I guarantee that less than 10% of its player base would stick around if it were pay to play.

[MarineUS]

Lol I play it too...got to tier 5 and walked away. Those kids can't handle someone with a good setup.

10 battles, 42 kills, 6 deaths

I am their God.

NONE of them understand what throttle control is either....they all just go full speed 100% of the time...

or that you shouldn't try to out turn a biplane in a 109... *facepalm*

The game sucks...big time. Easy for people who play AH though. VERY sluggish control response though.

i Heard snoopy sitting on his kennel playing at red baron summed it up well...
