HTC have you ever considered.....
« on: December 11, 2000, 06:33:00 PM »
I dont want to make any propheads mad here, i love WW2 sims but sometimes I have to wonder..What would a Modern aircraft sim be like using the AH Engine?  I think it would be awsome, Ive played many of the latest one (janes f15 and so on...)  and they look nice but they dont have that fluid flying feel that AH engin gives, its like your on rails or something.  Plus the current engine is almost perfectly set up for it, i mean ya have radar and soon to have carriers, i just think it would be sweet to take off from my Bish base and screem in at low alt with a My F-111 and do dome radar bustin, or hop into a Stratofortress (i would make the game NON-nuclear though), launch off a carrier in an A-6 or F-18 or f-14, do some deep penetrations in a f-117 at night (would have to have a better night thats all ya would need to add), I mean WW2 stuff is a blast but a modern aircraft sime thats worth a crap is hard to find and if HTC made one that is even half as fun as AH it would be solid gold.  You could have abrams tanks, you could choose to man a patriot missle battery (and hit nothing   maby some of them other AAA vehicles.  Maby have an Aeigis equipped warship or 2.  Maby Im off here but i think it would be a blast, it would be a real challenge traying to protect your carrer groop from Atendars with exocet missles, have bombers that can drop cruise missles (which can also be shot down)  b-2 spirit and B-1 and Yf-22 would be perked.  escort in some f-18s on a strike by flying an awac with radar jamming equipt..the possibilities are endless.
Hmm, what aircraft would there be...
United States:
F-18 series
F-16
F-111 Ardvark
A-6 intruder
B-52
F-15 Eagle
F-14 Tomcat
That gigantic transport the name iludes me (for goons)
F-117 nighthawk
B-2 Spirit (perk)
B-1b (perk)

Russian aircraft:
Bear bomber
backfire bomber
Mig series (quite a few of them)
Su-27 Flanker
..some others (not to familiar with Ruskie stuff)

Land Vehicles:
Bradley (for goons)
M1a2
sa-8 Gecko (mean little bastard)
patriot battery
HumV with different, loadouts like TOW missles and other nice little trimmings
Some kind of mine laying thing...???
Weapons:
harm andti radar
Maveric
Tomahawk and exocet
cruise (bomber only or ship launched)
cluster bombs
The Mk series
The Mk series retarded
durindal anti runway
sidewinder
Aim 120 aamram
 and all of the Russion counterparts.


i cant think of anything else off the top of my head but you get my idea,  i like WW2 stuff as much as anybody butlike many i am starving for a fun AND realistic modern aircraft combat sim.
What yall think?

You tread on veeeerrry thin ice here Wobbly...
If we liked jets, we wouldn't be here, so take yer blasphemy elsewhere +)

seriously tho, we are propheads, I'd love to see what the HTC team could do with other eras (WW1 comes to mind) but i'd like AH finished first +)

No reason to perk B-1b...
It's piece of cake to Mig-21Bis. Or Foxhound

I like WWII planes myself as well... That said I bet HT could make a bundle here.  Just imagine, using the same basic engine HTC could have Modern, WWII, WWI, Korean, and Vietnam arenas.  Then "Aces High" would truely be a reality.  One game, 5 different eras.  

You can't tell me this isn't the slightest bit interesting.  Aces High could evolve to become the first/only fight sim to have all eras of planes.

Wobble has a point, the AH engine would be nearly ideal.  Do some artwork, gunnery, and FM work and reuse the engine and all of the sudden you have a Vietnam sim.  It would be the ultimate flight sim.  

Add the navy and ground war secondary elements and you have without a doubt the greatest online sim ever.

Heh.... 60 planes, 25 mile square area, fire and forget weapons. Actually sounds like fun.

Er... for about 5 minutes

They could do it similar to what WBs does with cockpits. Say a downloadable module for each era:

WW1
WW2
Korea
Vietnam

This would keep the dload size down. One main arena for each era, plus special events arenas as needed. Personally I agree that other sims seem to let you fly on rails. ATF Gold was the first jet sim I ever played; yech. Tried a few others with little success, including Falcon 4 [demo still don't work right]. I've been looking for a Vietnam-era sim for a long time and have yet to find one. Ahh well, I guess I'm stuck with photos and ATF to pass time in jets.


Anyone up for a quick Deathmatch run in Quake 2?

There's *WAY* to much politics coming into play after WWII.

"Die you commie bastards! I don't care what high command says I'm going downtown and taking several thousand..." Well you get the picture. Anything resembling historic stuff is just to touchy. Even fantasy arena stuff would be pushing it.


Btw who wants to hear "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa I got hit by a stray missle!" all the time?

Btw just check out what happened to AW:V if ya don't believe it.

Forget jets, if they ever get time to try something new, it should be a WWI flight sim.
