Let me make sure I understand, Elfie. Suppose you are at 4k and you point your nose in the general direction of an ack position. Now, zoom and then increase it to max zoom. You can't see the ack positions then?

If I said what I wanted to say I'd be banned from this forum and probably AH for life.

Basicly I think your just some burnt out old chump who used to play AH and now spends his days trolling the forums for a hijack and an argument. What more do I need to say that you probably dont know already? I'm sure you cant put the rest into perspective on your own. You do anyways.

I'd buy you a beer, but you're not old enough.

Yeah, I don't play any more. I want more realism, not an arcade game. But I had some good times in AH, even though I was squadless for the most part.

lol You have no idea how old or young I am shmuck. You think you are the type I'd sit down shoot the watermelon with and throw back a few? Throw something maybe, but not beer.

No one cares what you have to say here. Your comments are based on nothing other than meaningless bullchit that you come up with on a whim rather than on fact.

You can't quit the game and then expect anyone to take what you say about game play or issues with the game seriously. Obviously your too stubborn to understand that fact.

Anyways, I rest my case on you. Nothing more is needed to support my conclusions on what type of individual you are. You have given enough to support it all on your own.

That describes the problem exactly Curly

*edit* That would probably work for me Curly if moving the detail sliders didnt make the game look like a slide show.

Also, aircraft are drawn from max view distance regardless of in game detail settings. You can see aircraft when they are just a dot beyond icon range.

I'm not saying gv's and acks should be drawn at the same distance that aircraft are, just using that as an example.

Ok, that sounds like a bug to me. You do agree the ack positions should be more or less invisible (no zoom) from 3k, right?

lol yup bubye!

Tho you should have left while you were some waht ahead. Now more people know you for the fool that you are.

Thought you were leaving?

Name calling doesnt suit you. You make a fool out of yourself easily enough with out resorting to name calling.

I really dont care how far away I can see the guns themselves, as long as I can see them w/o making the game run like a slide show.

To clarify something, I can see the little circles on the ground where the guns are located, I just cant see the guns themselves.

Case in point: About an hour ago I was above A18 I think, a manned ack that I couldnt even see shot me down. ( I saw the system message where the guy landed 3 kills in a field gun) I was only 200 ft agl at that point, had hid shift+ F4 to see if any gv's were on the field, then returned to shift F2 view range and BAM! wing gone from manned ack.

Oh, never mind. I thought the title was "HTC can you look into your ACK-ACK", and I was curious to know why HT needed to see a proctologist.

OK, just one more post and then I'll leave this thread...

Morph, you still don't see what I'm getting at. I'll spell it out to you.

Some time ago, you posted a whine about something you didn't like in the game on the grounds that it was "unrealistic" and/or could not have happened in WW2. You didn't like "when a single 110G2 can come in otd and straffe down a Cruiser in a single pass along with its rockets...", and you finished with the somewhat sarcastic retort "Thats realism for ya. WTG guys." For those who didn't see your whinepost, it's here.

Oh, so it's realism you want, huh? So how realistic do you think it is for a P51 pilot to look down from 6000ft and assess the damage to a gun emplacement? How realistic do you think it is for the enemy to have published the exact positions of their gun emplacements on the airfield for the P51 pilot to do that in the first place?

You said

Back in AH1. When an ack was up, the circle around the ack gun was bright, when it was taken out there was a darker shaded area around the ack telling you it was down.

Do you suppose for one moment that in WW2, gun emplacements had bright little circles around them to help enemy pilots locate them? Do you suppose these were then somehow switched off, to become "a darker shaded area around the ack telling you it was down" so that you didn't waste further ammo? Oh sure, that would be sooooo realistic!

:rofl

And just to think, Morph said

Priceless!

I'm done.

Beet, I was with Morph during the incident that brought up this thread. We were not at 6,000 feet, we were below 1,000 feet at the field and all of us, not being more than a couple hundred yards away from the ack, were having issues seeing the guns. Some of them only appeared after we flew over them. Myself, Morph and a few others there at the time all complained about the problem. Now, please rethink what you said to Morph. In real life I think you'd definately be able to see a AAA gun from a mere couple hundred yards.

I'm done

if you ever see anythng of an ack - its when it shoots, flashing muzzles.

streetstang · « **Reply #74 on:** November 18, 2004, 05:56:13 AM »

Beetle you are just trying to damn hard and getting nowhere. And besides that, there is a vein in your forehead begining to bulge.

You wont stop posting because you haven't the brains to do so.

Btw, it comes at no surprise to me that you have completely missed the point everyone was, not just me, is trying to make here. Not just that your brainless. But that ack should be made so everyone can see it at a given alt. Not just some people.
