THERION Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Well - to me it looks a bit too cartoonish, if you ask me. Especially the cockpit views. And free-to-play? I don't like those games because it ends up in pay-to-win. If you call it game, then OK. But combat flight simulation? Nah.... I'm from the old fraction and prefer to pay for something good. There is a German proverb saying: "Was nichts kostet, ist auch nichts wert" - which means: "If it costs nothing, so it is nothing worth" Edited December 13, 2018 by -IRRE-Therion 1

I don't like those games because it ends up in pay-to-win It's an mmo, so it's either this or monthly subscription, with FTP you don't have to pay anything to play the game. There will be in-game currency 'war cash' which you earn in-game or purchase with real money - not pay-to-win, because you can earn it by playing if you wish so, so anyone can have the same things.

Yes and all those ones who are too lazy or have no ambition, but an good filled wallet will just buy everything. So finally it is pay-to-win. It is just cosmetic to talk about "war cash". That's my opinion and I do not intend to blame anyone.

In this game hundreds of people play in same one arena untill war ends and new starts - think something like Tactical Air War server in IL-2 Edited December 13, 2018 by jesunx
AndyJWest Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Can I ask where you are getting your information on this game from, Jesunx? Because neither the Steam page nor the company's own website say anything about 'war cash', or about 'hundreds of people'.

It seems like a rework of that game, things that differ are obviously free to play, and pacific usa vs japanase and not 3 sides fantasy war. More info is yet to come.

THERION Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Hey, may I ask you one question? How many titles of IL2 Great Battles do you own? So we know, if you are competent... To me, it seems that you are a promoter just spreading your news on all known and renowned forums. 34 minutes ago, jesunx said: official forums of the developers who made their previous game www.hitechcreations.com And I just had a quick look at their homepage and saw some of their videos. The graphic engine reminds me of the good old "Janes WWII Fighter", which was OK back then. But today??? Nah, no way to waste some disk space for it, not even for fun if drunken...

I can see no reason to assume that this is anything more than an attempt to get the last bit of cash out of software that has failed to keep up with the times. It costs nothing to try the game and play, I don't understand this reasoning. If we had 5 new flight sims released every year, I would agree. But there are literaly zero new flight sims released. Edited December 13, 2018 by jesunx 1
AndyJWest Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 If there was any evidence this was a 'new flight sim', that might be worth consideration. Instead, all we have is a recycled video of the Aces High III Wildcat, and a couple of web pages that tell us next to nothing. I get the distinct impression that even the developer doesn't think it is worth the effort. 1
jesunx Posted December 13, 2018 Author Posted December 13, 2018 Sure it might be a dud, but seeing as it is free to play I will surely give it a go when it launches. 1
purK Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 I played Aces High for years, don't expect much from this. It's sad because Aces High was a fantastic game at its peak, and I don't even think IL2 will ever find the massive multiplayer scale that AH was then. The developer there just doesn't know how to adapt to the modern market.

LLv34_Flanker Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 S! AH had back in the day events and other stuff that IL-2 can only dream of. Hundreds of players slugging it out in historical scenarios etc. You really were on your toes there! Shame that HTC has not been able to upgrade into 2018 and beyond, at least not yet. 1 1
6FG_Big_Al Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Without wanting to be a buzz kill, I don't think it's going to be a brilliant flight simulator. I also think the number of players advertised is more like wishful thinking (maybe I'm wrong). Even though I'm not a big fan of War Thunder anymore, but I think this title will be still better than that. Also, I still hope that the next expansion (or the one after that) of Il-2 will go to the Pacific itself, which would be a "new" Sim. Edited December 14, 2018 by [KGv53]Big_Al_the_Allo

It was pretty insane, but those days are long gone. 1
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Aces High was really an extension of what original Warbirds achieved. And yes, nothing can beat numbers in those games. I still miss S3 events. 2 1

And regarding MMO, online is cool, but I love also having campaigns, the only MMO I play is Elite Dangerous, because there is no alternative with multiplayer and Campaign.

Feathered_IV Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Hmmm. It’s out. Not sure what to make of it.
Semor76 Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 omg....LOL. is this really the only alternative to the outdated IL-2/1946/Mods for the pacific theatre on the market? what a shame....
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 This in 2019 by HiTech ... this guy really should quit buisness for he seems not to understand that competition advanced some 15 years ago. I had some feeling towards Warbirds and AH, but those games were relevant many many years ago. To release this today, what seems to be just a copy of AH3, is just showing how out of date and touch he is.
AndyJWest Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 How can anyone be so utterly out of touch that they think this abomination has any chance of success? 1 1

=WoVi=cercataa Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) 10 active users on average ... not good for an MMO. If I was an IL-2 veteran with hundreds of hours in the game, maybe I'd give it a try, but there is still so much IL-2 content pending for me, until 1 or 2 years I'll not try other WW2 flightsims Edit: A friend that was bored tryed it, and he only said: BIG SHIT ☹️ Edited January 21, 2019 by =SFF=_cercataa
