Operation "end this week early"

[1Duke1]

Ok, more seriously......the puffy-popcorn ack on this map is friggin' absurd.  Last night for me was the most frustrated I have ever been flying a CT setup....I would go from steady 100 FR to watching a slide show as soon as the puffy ack started.

Before anyone says it...after having the problem, and chatting with folks, I exited out, cleaned out an ad-ware crap, and ran enditall2, sound accel at 3/4, and I still had the same probs.

I say turn off the puffy ack (doable?) and leave the manned ack.  If that doesn't work, then remove the map.

If I get the same results tonight as I did last night, then I too will be spending most of my time this week flying AH2, which will suck, because it has been awhile since I have had the chance to fly a full week in a Pac setup.

This post is demonstrating pretty poor form on the part of some.  My reason for this statement is that we have members of the CT community that are in naval squadrons and prefer to play with the blue planes.  These members of our community seldomly see their preferred rides featured in set ups.  When they are featured they are severely hamstrung by nebulous reasoning under the guise of "balance".  I hate this farging setup but I am there specifically to support the VF and VMF guys for their week,  I'm seldom in an N1K2.  They provide capable and willing opposition for ETO setups, we are now obligated to reciprocate.  And we need to reciprocate with a vengeance.  watch out lil blue plane pstudmuffins I'm coming to getcha.

Just end this week early and get back into ETO's. like Battle of Bastogne for instiace? or something with the LW vs VVS. that could do it as well, on the kurlan map, or some other winter map, i dunnnno, just something that is ETO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, kill PTO's for good...that's the answer....ETO all the time, every time...

Storch! Thank you. Seriously.

Guys lets try this first. CV Positions

What this means is that A18 is now vulnerable to the vulching N1K2Js and Ki-67s. This is thier only target now that the fleets are out of the front lines (as requested by the axis players). This also means that the allies are now going to be defending A18 instead of attacking Okinawa which is not what the "theme" is all about.  Lets see what happenes.

Let it ride. Late PTO isnt one of my favorites, but like Storch said we got a lot of fans of Naval and Marine aviation. They are one of the biggest groups of CT regulars, and are the least represented when it comes to setups.

 Like Arlo said  try and immerse yourself if possible. This was a critical battle of WWII , and  is about as well represented as can be done with the tools available to the CT staff.

Hawk release the fleets . Whatever point your trying to make should not be made by denying the Allied players the ability to move their fleets. Your one my best buds, but I think what your doing is lame.

Tired of axis crying about ack. Now they dont have to worry about it. I will probably take a long vacation after this week anyway.

Lowe, dont look for the obvious in what I am doing, there is a valid point behind it.

I didnt say get rid of it, I voiced my opinion

I'm still in there when I tire of AH2, just wierd to see more ppl in beta than CT- happened last week too.

looking forward to the day CT has the AH2 engine- crummy part of AH2 for me is to go up against non-historical planes

what about if you make the fleets harder to sink but lower the ack to almost nothing

Agreed.

I thought about that also, but figured it would then be too easy for the "Brown Water Admirals" to drive the fleets right up to the shore and plaster the bases with ease.

To the best of my knaoulige, we are supose to park the distroyers, or whatever has the LVTs, close enough to "plaster" and spawn for an attack. Cant do it if the fleets are two grids away Is this Operation Iceberg or not?

I know bud , but it's not anybodys job to balance the arena but maybe the CM's. Plus what point can you make? Both sides HO, Vulch, Gangbang, Milkrun, Ackhug, Insult,Piss, and Moan , evenly. One side accusing the other of doing anything, is basically the pot calling the kettle black. Free em up if some guy wants to be a beach admiral.......... He payed his 15.
