AH vs WB3? (no flame!)

[Cobra]

BCNU,
I answered one generalization with another.  And if you notice the generalization was equal in its treatment.

Now, you go and find if I've ever posted a flame or a troll regarding one sim or the other.

It still leaves my general statement as accurate.

He who closes his mind and doesn't check out the competition periodically is shooting himself in the foot.  My recent re-check of my former sim FA3 proved to me that things can change for the better though I'm glad as hell I did my waiting for this to happen in AH.  My excursion into WarBirds proved to me that somebody can put out a prettier product though not necessarily with as much substance as AH.  And last but not least my return to active real world flying as can be seen in the link below, proves to me that the hottest hotshot in here (coldshots like me included) would most probably cry for his mama, crap his pants and be shot right out of the sky while puking his guts out  in the real thing.  G-Force is a great equalizer guys

I believe that bobn is a fluff herder and LW aficianado with a penchant for jets.  

Also... I have never "quit forever till people treat me right" nor have I gotten mad nor have I docktored photos nor have I lied about my importance.   I guess if we (bobn and I)are simular to some folks then that would be another difference between AH and WB.  

I like AH while bobn feels at home in WB.

SimHQ's take on this (trying to stay on topic):

AH:

Pros

Mature planeset great number of aircraft available to the online pilot
Excellent blend of hard core flight models and ease of use
Dogfighting unmatched in any other game
Excellent community, events and combat theatres


Cons:

15 bucks a month may keep some folks away
Not as visually stunning as it used to be, graphics showing its age.
Ground vehicles really not as important as they could be
Some warping seen at times

WB3:

Pros:

Visually much improved, graphically stunning
Stable, relatively smooth code
Still available for MAC fliers
Ground Vehicles added on
Excellent Online Community
Very good ‘hard core’ flight models
 

Cons:

Cost (she ain’t cheap)
Large download size (can take a while with those 56Ks)
No longer a 2d/3d game, time to buy the GeForce Card
Vehicles still not fleshed out completely
Not as ‘mature’ as other online sims yet.

Oh... beeg... I have found that anything that makes me cry for my momma and puke my guts out is worth doing at least twice.   This has not allways been good for me.

"Hit bubble" in WB?  Wasn't that AW?  Maybe someone is thinking of the time HS (not to be confused with HT, tho neither of em can spell) said there's a gross check for nearness to a plane and if a round gets into that region then a fine check is made to see if it actually hits anything and if so, what.  That's not the same as a hit bubble.

S!
I used the term "hit bubble" as it's been widely used to express the near hit area . I didn't mean any round hit bubble, hehe.
Anyway thanks for clarifying.

Lazs,

I said both camps suffer about equally, I meant that but also we suffer in different ways.

Kinda like how a kick in the nads hurts about as much as a having your face catch on fire.  Both hurt like a mother, just in different ways.

Catch you later Lazs.

kek.... if you say that having your face catch on fire hurt you as much as a kick in the nads then I will have to believe you even tho it doesn't sound right to me.   Are you sure your data is correct?    I can verify that having your leg ripped off feels about as bad as crawling out of a burning wreck with a broken back tho ... if that helps any.
