Originally posted by denshing One thing I noticed is that they REALLY put emphasis on the flight engine. The air combat/dogfight and bombing/defending in air is almost like watching a WWII movie. I would seriously be hard pressed to even find a WWII combat simulator that did a better job at air combat realism, which is a feat for being a MMORPG and from 2001 at that.
Did you really say that? LMFAO. Thats like saying Mario Cart is the most realistic driving sim on the market. Serriously.
The game has its good points but that is NOT one of them. And as for finding a WWII Combat simulator that does a better job...
Targetware- Just as old, and better graphics.
IL2- Sure everything flies the same, but at least they have limits.
Aces High 2- Cause the community makes that game.
The infantry model in WWIIOL is pretty good, unfortantly is REALLY starting to lag behind with so many pocket games having so much more.
The tank combat is ok, it would be better if several fixes were actually done... Working High Explosive rounds would be nice.
The air combat... heh... yea, the flightmodel isnt great, but its not horrible. Its actually a good blend of easy relaxed flight physics, and realistic. But this is also the source of the problems for this end of the game. I wont go into the fact that in this game the 12.7mm Browning MG round does MORE damage than a 20mm HE(Mine) round. Still cant quite wrap my head around that.
But after soon to be 8 years, there is no way to repair a thrown track, or actually bail out of a plane. This is a problem. The now short visual render range is becoming a problem. But only time can tell if CRS can keep this Titanic afloat much longer.

Some of you PM'd me and had no email, so I sent it to your name @mmorpg.com. I am not sure if that will work. So send me your email (that you have never had a ww2 account or trial on before) and I will make sure you are set up if you didn't get one.

As for the guy asking if it was even legal, Are you on drugs? Hahah. Just as current subscribers of other games can give buddy keys, that is what this is. You can give out 1,000 if you want, there is no limit, and that is/was precisely Cornered Rat Software's (game owner/developer) intention.
I can no longer give out cards, the promotion has closed. If you have ALREADY received one, you can use it up until February 1st, at which time it expires.

Yeah...game has come a long way since I last played it. I'm having a blast!
Although I forgot how raging pissed off this game can make me sometimes.
And it looks like they FINALLY got rid of the last of the old 2-d card-board cut-outs that were floating around in the game.
There is still currently a 14 day free trial available to everyone who has not played before.

Thats not free requires a credit card and costs a buck liar.
Dont take it out on the OP... thats something you should take up with CRS, and the amazing playerbase.....
They are the reason why it costs a dollar.
So much crap, so little quality.
