What to expect from War Online: Pacific.
« on: January 02, 2019, 03:17:43 PM »
If you expect it to be any thing like AH you will be very disappointed. As I stated before WOP is not geared for people who like the open style of AH.

WOP Is a start in the air, limited size fighting ring (adjustable but right now approximately 5 miles) .

No hangar or loaded need to be selected. No arena needed to be selected. Simply log in (done automatically from steam) Select a battle, choose a plane from the same screen, and check ready for battle.

Soon as enough players are ready the fight starts until one side is dead or the fight time expires.

It includes a slimmed down flight model making it very easy to fly with a mouse. Battle can be configured for easy or real mode or both.

By winning battles and kills you earn War Cash that will let you purchase better planes. It may also be possible to get different skills like the ability to pull more G's before black out or a better wax job on your plane. Just like AH if WOP get a following it will be expanded to include other things to purchase like private skins.

There is a chess like ELO rating system that can also be used for limiting battle entries. I.E. similar skill sets fighting each other.

There is a Tournament system also in place to be used for special events. And possibly cash prizes.

You can also just jump into a free for all that probably will not be scored.

This clarifies what to expect. Much different than AHIII.

Edit to add....

Thank You HiTech, speculation was going rampant as always.

Oh.  So it is just going to be dueling?  Like a furball lake with air spawn?
The trailer vid sort of gave an impression of a micro scenario with F4 coming in shooting rockets at a hangar.
Not a bad thing, but not really what the vid with F4 taking off from a carrier and jabo'ing with rockets conveyed.   
I still look forward to trying it out.  I wasted many an hour on furball lake too.  :D
Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Seems like it should be pretty fun and fast paced.  :airplane:

How many will have to join before the contest begins?

If I join into a arena where the contest is already going, can I roll and join the contest?

How long does each contest run?

That is the kind of thing that makes new people quit, genius.  :rolleyes:

I hope this is a success for htc, and maybe even funnel new players into AH3!

+1 on the free for all arena!

-1 on the easy mode flight model and pay for g-resistance...

Will this be available only through steam?

The simplified flight model is a bummer. I think the flight model is what helps set AH apart from the other games. Why can't they just have stall limiter default to on?

The stall limiter is the only thing keeping me in the air.  :joystick:  :old:

i dont think there are arena's as in ah3.  more like you enter a que and it will put you in the next match.  dont think you will be able to enter an existing match.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

The choice of a simpler flight model should make it possible for more people to get interested just like RR did with AW.

So the website for WOP that shows aircraft taking off from a CV is just not accurate?  I guess that will be changed soon.
