I have to agree, it would be nice to be able
to "wear down" the AA capability.

Individual turrets should be able to be destroyed, especially the 8" & 5" mannable guns.

Having said that, read the rule regarding "damn old" posts.

As a small aside, why is bringing up old threads against the rules yet if someone asks a question/makes a statement that has been asked/said before, the "use the search button" police come out in full SWAT force?  It doesn't bother me because I do neither, but I thought it was kind of a funny observation.  The way it works, you're SUPPOSED to search for old related threads, yet DARE NOT post a reply to your newly discovered information.  Uhh, not quite sure why this one would be dug up though...  :huh

I always thought it was funny...  People would bump and old post and give their opinion, and people would flame them for punting it.  The same person could have started a new topic, and he'd just get told to search...

Ahh wth ranger :D.  Guess I should have read the whole thing.

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

If you read the last line of your quote, that was what I was referring to.  This one came from wayyy out in left field.
