That is some funny ****.

What are you talking about? We're not ignoring Aces High.

Karnak, when was the last time you played WW2online?

I'm not trying to put down Aces High, but the fact is it's just not a combined arms simulation.

It's a flight simulator with vehicles for you to play around in when you are bored with flying.

Now, it's not that there is anything wrong with being a game like that... But to call it a combined arms simulator, let alone one better than WW2Online, is just factually false.

Really ??

I'd say with a statement like that givin the current state of WWIIonlines flight models, the use of spell checker wouldn't make much difference either way.

Zero my friend, besides having bad taste posting it here, you need to realize we don't live in a vacuum.

And WW2OL is a ground combat simulator with planes for you to play around in when you're bored with tanks or infantry.

For a taste of what went into the WW2OL flight model click here for a small sample of what goes into calculating aircraft damage.

That is why WW2OL is so taxing on your CPU... because it must calculate armor penetration, location, and internal component damage as the bullet travels through your airframe.

This is not the arbitrary locational hit point system one has grown use to in flight sims.

You just pulled that statement out of thin air because it sounded good.

You have no real experience in WW2OL to back that up.

I would pay good money for you to show me one post on the offical forums that the players think WW2OL is ground centric.

If anything, the players will tell you that WW2OL is too air centric bceause of how powerful air units can be in turning a battle.

I don't mean to be rude, but will you please go away.

Of course feel free to post here again once you take a screen shot your post in the general forum of WW2OL about AH's 2 week free trial.

Until then, you are just a CRS lap dog.

bye.

You're a bit over sensitive if you think one thread is spam.

I'm sure Ring was only trying to give a friendly reminder to people like you that right now would be an opportune time to try WW2OL if there ever was one.

As for me, I simply dropped in to answer questions and correct the inaccuracies about WW2OL that popped up.

1 thread is not spamming.

only subscribers can post for a reason,we would be getting spammed non stop 24 hours a day if anyone could post.

infact just during this free trial our forum has been spammed non stop day and night by a few dozen free trial accounts.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hmm thinking of going to their website and mentioning the fact that ah offers 2 free weeks and doesnt require a credit card for the trial and u dont need to pay for a freaking "key"... lol 30 days free my ars.. Sounds to me like ur paying 19.99 for 37 days..

Hmm 12.99 per month, free 7days which would be equal to just over $3 dollars.. and 19.99 for 30 days.. if u were to pay to play for 37 days it would be around $16... Seems im getting screwed here..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


youve got it all wrong,there is a 7 day free trial out,you dont need a credit card for it and you dont have to pay a dime for it.

then there is the 30 day trial,if you go to a store and buy the game it costs $20,and you get 30 days of free play time with it.

after that you can pay $13 a month to play.

that $20 is the money you'd pay to buy the game in the store,so basically you just ordered the game online.

Thanks for clearing that up chaunsey, I didn't think you had to pay anything for the 7 day trial, but I wasn't sure because I hadn't done it myself.

Oh, wait, are we now talking about the usefulness of the airplanes rather than the accuracy of their flight models?

In that case, I can assure you that a coordinated attack by ground vehicles in Aces High certainly works.  They're quite effective at thwarting air attacks and base captures as well.

So since our new measuring stick appears to be "usefulness" or "power," I'd say the non-airplane units in Aces High do just fine.
