Well ... when you see the enemy pass on this quote for me:

"If you don't like what another player is doing grab a fighter and stop them. That is what the guns are for... ya know?"

The CMs have requested that we get tools allowing for loadouts to be "turned off". Im hoping it makes it to AH2.

I hope not. There haven't really been enough decent examples of it's necessity to warrant it.

Good for subbing the 110 (not really much else)
Keeps bomber escort from loading with max ord (which really isn't wise to begin with)
Keeps fuel/hangars/troops from getting porked (so does hardening all of them and dropping their regen time)

Besides ....

TOD will come out with canned missions. And canned missions can be used in events as well.
Scenarios haven't really had much problem with loadout options being abused.
In the CT, the first thing Brady will use it for is to lockout Allied FB ord loadouts to all but 250s and below and still bump up the island defenses to double while stationing all the Allies on softened fleets ... to further "balance" his Pacific CT setups.

I'd rather see HT and company model some of the planes we intend to substitute existing models for. Especially Japanese models. That does more to address most of the issues than adding another setting that practices "addition by subtraction."

Ok ... done made my point over and again. *ShruG*

And I still love you guys. Thanks for the beer.

sales man: "a new super golf club has been developed for the common man...you can buy them for less than 700 dollars"
arlo: "there not needed, dont produce them"
sales man: "why not?"
arlo: "because my 70 year old wooden clubs work fine, the carbon alloy clubs are stonger and have a potential to be used as a bellybutton scratcher, and there havent been any such problems with current clubs"
sales man: " but they add length to your drive, prevent people from misuse in other ways"
arlo: "they still have a potential for misuse. anyway a new version will come out that should do the same thing but with a bit more effort, and anyway there hasnt been any track record of "your" misuse..."
sales man : " the "new way" will only work in 2 places, the place were these clubs are needed cannot use them"
arlo: "but that place where its needed and cannot be used already misuses a current type of club to give him this one wil make him do even more misuse."
sales man: " but if it is used improperly then im sure someone will complain"
etc. etc.

(great...now im doing gold analogys)

Try:

"Hey! Lets add a 10 iron between the 9 iron and the pitching wedge!"

"Yeah ... we really need a 10 iron!"

"Why do we need a ten iron?!"

"Because it ain't a nine iron!"

"Or a pitching wedge!"

But, of course ... that's not in keeping with the 14 club rule instituted in 1939.

Maybe a better analogy would be:

"Well, Seumas, we're up to five irons now."

"Ah think we kin do with some moooore."

"A six iron?!"

"Ah was thinkin' more along the lines of a four an' a half, laddie. The jump between irons may need refinin'."

(Fortunately Seumas sobered up and after his hangover decided "progression via regression" wasn't the way to go.)
