Thanks for your input. I could use the same lame-brained argument for you...if you want a tank game, play Cyberstrike or wait for WWIIOnline.To be honest, neither of the games you mentioned offer the same dynamics of play and flight model as we had before ground units got so out of whack. Thats my only point.-Ding[This message has been edited by Dingy (edited 10-16-2000).]
Nonsense, ground play has not changed in all the years I have been playing.
Amazing to hear people who trumpet endlessly (and rightfully so) about realism and accuracy also voficerously defend the Quakedweeb ground game, which lacks so many of the basic tenets to be a respectable viable system in AH.As done now, vehicles have absolutely no reason to be in the game, except to provide the Beavis and Butthead factor (e.g., hehehe, cool, I just blew something up, hehehehe)...1) The most popular vehicle had fewer than 100 made; as it is now, they're ubiquitous.2) The vehicle environment has no semblance to how they were used in real life. Their tactics and application are airforce centric, and as such, totally misguided.3) The "simulation" of tanking gunnery and maneuver isn't reflected, particularly on a ground map that's designed for aircraft scale.[This message has been edited by Stiglr (edited 10-18-2000).]
You are aware you replied to an 10 year old post?
I dont know what bases you guys are spawning from, but I have yet to find one where I am in range at the spawn point. Each one that I have seen is at least 10 to 15 minutes from the target base. Maybe I am just on the wrong side of the map.
I agree very few bases you can spawn and be in range of field.
Do not get caught up in the country-centric thinking.
I am going with no he doesn't realize this was first posted in 2000.
This is good fun watching Rv diligently and assiduously respond to 10 year old posts.
Perk the Osti.
I love it when I can tell a post has been necrobumped simply by looking at the starting posters name. I wonder where old Dinger is these days?
ding ding... anybody home?
My guess is the force is very strong with rvflyer. So, I'm going with "no".
