(Wargamer has replaced the void due to the loss of two good sitesfor sim news; Playnet drove Dogfighter.com right into the ground and iENSimHQ is far too biased now - and the articles are not as good there any more. Thanks Sabre and crew for the reallygood articles and wide spectrum of genres you cover!!)

Yea, I noted stuff on DogFighter.Com seemed really dated and pretty stale.

The wargamer site was slow, but I finally got to read the entire interview, not bad.

Another great interview ~~to Sabre and Wargamer and ~~to Hitech for being so open about their plans and keeping us informed.~~~~

LOL...Thanks for the pic, Rip. I hadn't seen that one before. Yep, that's me in all my glory;).

You didn't work for Boeing in 2000 did you?

Yep, but only for a couple months at that point. So far, it's been working out pretty good.

Wargamer site has been slow or nonexistent all day for me. Once got to read two pages of the interview, and that's it. Site must be powered by hamster wheels. So what is the new tank in store for Aces High?

Sabre · « **Reply #10 on:** August 29, 2002, 11:46:11 PM »

TIGER...

Tiger what? model?

thx

I'm betting on PzKpfw VI Ausf. E "Tiger"

Hmmm 88mm KwK 36/L51 - using AP (PzGr 40), 930 m/s muzzle velocity, penetrates 156mm armor-grade steel at 500m, 140 at 1000m and 110 at 2000m !

Finally got to read the entire wargamer article. Nice work, Sabre.

Hmmm, a TIGER tank? Great fun, but as destabilizing to ground warfare as the B-29 would be to the air war. Tigers ate Shermans and everything else by the dozens. Will be interesting to see the perks on that.

Of course the Tiger and B-29 were WWII masterpieces, so naturally they should be added, and if any company can do them right, it's HiTech Creations.
