A new version will be coming out pretty soon. New planes in this version will be the P-38L, Spitfire V, and Macchi
C.202. The 202 might get delayed as I've been having a few problems with it. There's been some bug fixes, HT wrote
an auto take-off function for newbies and some other minor features that I can't think of.

Superfly finished the M-16 and went to work on a Typhoon Ib to complement the ground vehicles. I think he finished the
external shape today. As soon as Natedog finishes the P-38, he's going to make a tank- probably a late model Panzer
IV.

We've also been working on a system for down the road that will let us introduce some of the really exceptional
late-war planes without throwing the main arena play balance out of whack or being real restrictive.

I'm starting a design for our first test scenario. It'll be fairly simple but should be a lot of fun. I also need to start on some
weekly special events as well.

We're going to need to start a closed beta for the terrain editor soon. I would like to wait one more version before
doing that, but whenever the time comes, we'll put out the word for volunteers.

Regard realism questions, I do like the air combat in AH cause it starts at 20k or 25k. Not at 10k like WB . At this altitude, it's very easy a recriation of historical combats. For instance, I need to learn how to fly the 109 cause the Fw190 ( my favorite ) is very bad at 25k
One more word, otto does not play a role in AH, so, you only face human opponents, not buffs whit AI gunners

There are pro's and con's to both games, AH being much smaller in terrains/Aircraft, simply because its new...however, AH will have vehicles soon, including tanks,and new planes are added every month.

Best thing to do is download both, analyze them both, and chose to your tastes!

Salute!
