Shermie baybee!

"The most versatile of all tanks built for World War II, the M4 Sherman constituted 65 percent of all tank production during the war years. Like the M3, the M4 was developed by engineers from Chrysler and the Army, but this time the tank only had a crew of five and the 75mm cannon was supported by a revolving turret. The Sherman saw action in all theaters of the conflict and, by war's end, was produced in eighteen different models. The Detroit Arsenal produced the most Shermans, totaling 17,750 tanks, roughly 25 percent of all Shermans made. "

Octavius states:
"It's ok, keep venting, we know you're angry Having fun in that other sim? Or are you still playing here? "

Whoa! I didn't say anything about being "angry", didn't you read the rules for the forums?
I'm not angry nor am I venting, just stating facts for the other faithful readers & posters.

Other sim? I play lots of sims, which one? yes I play here from time to time.

Your subtle sarcasm in the original post was noted. I do remember your channel 1 tirades - attempting to mock HT's coding ability and AH2 in general, and most of all defending your previous squad's gv style of gameplay.

MOIL · « **Reply #48 on:** September 06, 2004, 03:03:28 PM »

So noted

Coding ability, No comment

Have fun!

I think there's a clue hidden right there. Posting here after having a hissy fit and quitting is kinda like walking around in public continuing a one-sided argument with an imaginary participant with you finally thinking of things you wished you'd thought of on the spur of the moment.

How's life in WWIIOL? Gonna come back here to test the Shermie?

Shermie baby! Woof!

First off, I never threw a "hissy" fit as you claim. Second, I'm not arguing with anyone {if so please bring this post to my attn}
Third, there's nothing I've said that counters anything I have not already brought to the table. I have not been the one to jump in and bust peoples chops over change or the adding additional planes or vehicles {or lack of} to the game.
I have been preaching the SAME things since day ONE, I have never veared from my comments or ideals.
I have stated since day one my feelings for the game and HTC, I never said I hated/disliked this game, it's community or lack of certain content. I have just like everyone else, expressed my views and concerns and went out of my way to bring new things and ideas to the table.
I'm not going to get into some debate or argument with you Arlo {and others} I could give damn what people think about me or what I post {which is a shame} because I don't think that is very productive. So what If I think HTC's cods is sub-standard, so are a lot of others, big deal.
The only thing that really gets me is the fact, that people like you love to chime in with their 2 cents worth on a topic that you agree with {the Sherman for example} you're right there shaking your pom-pom's, but if it's something else you'll make sure you get right in there and let that person know how stupid or rediculous his idea is. Of course, it would take a whole lot of energy to say something even remotely postive, but that doesn't appear to be your style. Name one time I posted to tell some flyboy he's nutz for wishing there was a certain type of plane he wanted in the game. Go ahead.

Well bless your heart then, tank soldier. How many trips around the block talking outloud did this response take?

And .... will you be giving the new Shermie a whirl? Are you as excited as I am?

MOIL · « **Reply #54 on:** September 06, 2004, 11:15:35 PM »

Hhhmmmmm, trips around the block, that's rich.

The Sherman, great addition, any & all veh's are a great addition to the line up. Just as new planes and bombers are.
Sure I'd love to give it a "whirl", but the veh itself isn't the issue.

Arlo · « **Reply #55 on:** September 06, 2004, 11:34:09 PM »

What issue you havin' then?

MOIL · « **Reply #56 on:** September 06, 2004, 11:59:36 PM »

The fact the ground "game" is not correct. The damage model is not correct. The ground itself {terrain} is nowhere near correct.
Looks different, but that's about it.

Lemme put it too you this way, I know that you know a he11 of a lot more about A/C than I do. I don't put myself anywhere near that catagory. For example, I {and everyone else} knows you enjoy the CT, which is great. Your biggest thing {or as it seems to read} the planes and senarios are "more realistic" and challenging.
Now for a moment, you log in to play and the planes, although all modeled to look differnent you notice that the Spit {pick one} flies
exactly like the F4u-4 and the 190 flies and acts exactly like the TMB.
I will put up a stack of chips to say that you'd be one of the first to say "HEY, what the he11 is this"

Tell me I'm wrong

Arlo · « **Reply #57 on:** September 07, 2004, 12:02:02 AM »

So what the hell plane does the Ostie fly like and how would you fix it? Heh.

MOIL · « **Reply #58 on:** September 07, 2004, 12:24:29 AM »

The Ostwind is not a plane and I didn't say that it needs to be "fixed"
There is however some issues with it getting strafed with .303 rounds and 2 or 3 hits takes it's turret out or better yet the engine or tracks.
The tanks either take a beating to where people are constantly complaining about them or their getting killed {turret out, eng out, track out or blown up} by a couple of .50cal rounds.
I don't mean to rain on anyones parade, but this didn't happen in WWII. If theres anyone group that spent an ungodly amount of time in GV's it was us.
I still read the horror posts to this day about a tank hitting an M8 5 times and nothing, then the M8 swings his turret around, shoots once at the Pnzr, then blamo. The Pnzr either looses his turret or worse, blows up. I know, we've done it. Didn't like it, but what's one spose to do?

And of course when this is stated or brought to the powers to be's attention, the whole board jumps in to make sure we are aware that the GV's are 2nd and 3rd rate and are an afterthought. So I say Okie Dokie

Engine · « **Reply #59 on:** September 07, 2004, 12:37:19 AM »

I'm not really clear why this is being discussed, since GVs aren't the real focus of AH.
