What are the main differences between 2 and 3?

I don't have a clue myself...

I believe 3 was the general graphics upgrade; lighting, horizon, textures etc, and new terrain system upgrade

Yes plus being able to use VR. IMO, I liked AH2 better though. All the custom terrains, the old DA, it was much easier to read E on planes going into the merge. I liked it better for the most part, but the graphics did need an update for sure.

I like the new towns better but think they should be a little larger than they are.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

These just feel like a generic layout, something a computer would come up with. The other towns had street names, businesses had names on building, they had common areas surrounded by walls where you could try to hide a tank and pop others coming into town. It just felt more like it was put together over time as they built it up a bit at a time. I think it was laid out better so as you had to make a couple passes to get it down.
