Despite the promises of other groups, both commercial and grassroots, HiTech Creations's Aces High is still the only MMOG in the WWII combat sim category that consistently delivers the goods. We take a look under the hood of version 1.07 Patch 9 and find much, much more than just a flight sim.

Ditto.

I have not played a MMOG since beta testing MS Fighter Ace, which was a disappointment.
This sounds like a well done sim, I may have to give it a closer inspection, especially
after your glowing testimonial.

To assert that Aces High is the "ONLY" mmog that delivers is totally ********. Sorry to put it that way, but that is very much a close minded view. Look at the others, and you see they deliver quite a bit. What about Warbirds? What about the new AW stuff going on. Aces High is a good sim, true, but to say it is the only one that delivers is a myopic view AT BEST.

Hedu,

No, you are mistaken. As it stands now, at this time, Aces High is the only WWII MMOG that is delivering the goods.

WarBirds III is still in beta, Air Warrior "4" . . . still in development, Fighter Ace III, same. Each of the coming versions of these titles has great potential, but like I say, they aren't in production yet and their current versions don't hold a candle to Aces High in its current form.

WW2OL, although released, is really in alpha and hasn't even reached beta in my opinion.

So, I'll stick to my assertion . . . Aces High is the only "in-production" WWII MMOG that is delivering the goods at this time.

Now, all of this doesn't mean that those other titles aren't enjoyable. They are. But feature for feature, toe-to-toe, Aces High comes out on top in my analysis.
