"All the cool skins would have to be replaced with red,white or blue or what ever colors were deemed appropriate for each country. "


 Now that would be immersive!

 Bishop: Wuh? And let all 12 of you blue LA7's catch up and gang bang me?

Most of the stats here are a poor way of judging a players ability.

I've seen some with terrible stats who could whoop the P out of the majority of players here and I've seen some top 10 pilots that when caught alone and without their horde behind them couldnt fight their way out of a paper bag if it were made out of wet toilet paper.

Stats here are VERY misleading and relitively easy to manipulate based on the way you fly

>>I always see people bring up stats to discredit the opinions of others. Does anyone actually believe that Monteini would have conceded Morpheus' point had Morph possessed god-like stats?

Thats the only reason I listen to you, Lev. If you ever get in a slump, I'm skipping your posts :D

Guys I know i'm well late on this thread but listen up anyway, If we where flying as USAF, RAF, Luftwaffe instead of Bish, Rocks & Knights then you would have a point about the non icon thing, I say this because you would be able to tell the shape & colours of the planes ( Spitfire, 109, FUF etc), but even then it would not be a good idea as ah graphics are not that great & you would have to get D400 to see what plane he was flying anyway.

I was always wondering if the game would be better if you had to look at the plane for a period of time before you saw him high lighted, but anyway I like the game how it is so no chasing the dot for me.

Just trying to contain my excitement and surprise at another bash on the squad by a DMD. I thought Ren was in charge of searching the BBS for a post by one of us and popping in to swing a purse. Too much work for 1 guy, huh?

That's ALOT better, I knew you had it in you, hub :)

wished you would have quoted my whole reply though, you can see where the BK part was all in jest. As for taking a swing at your squad,  I have at times had my indifferences with 1 or 2  members of this squad or that squad, but  ( and I may be slightly wrong here but don't think so) do not usually go around attacking other squads on the BBS or in the Game.

As I said, I would think Morph would have chuckled and then came back with sharp retart.......

regarding the stats issue,  everyone knows if someone used my stats to guage my responses by, I would seriously be laughed upon :D  


is all good,  Happy 4th to the Blue Knights! ~S~

I agree. Lose the iconic things. My biggest hate in the game alongside everyone having every plane they want.

So you want to play a legally blind pilot and chase dots all day?

Fugeddabout it. aint gonna happen.
Because the vast majority of players dont want it to happen and more importantly Hitech doesnt want it to happen

If you have so many "hates" in the game. why do you bother playing?

Massochistic streak perhaps?

You could always pick up your ball and go home

in "another game" i fly with enemy icons off and friendly icons on, it works great for historical scenarios, and i have a great time exercising my SA skills, and when i go into an arena that has icons off i can really whoop up on ppl by spotting them first, and aproaching in a tacticaly effective way to get the jump on em.  

MA, heheh na i dont think so, ppl could be heard screaming in agony for miles away:)  for scenarios it would be a beutifull thing, maybe in Squad ops.

I agree, my thought is 1/2 would like no icon. But the other 1/2 wouldn't. What you have to remember is there are people who just fly for fun more than realism and don't want to spend the time tryin to learn and identify what they are fighting. They just want a relaxed, sit down and not have to worry about tryin to make out the pixels and identify an enemy a/c. On top of this you have kids(and some adults in general) who have no idea what profile goes with what plane, they just know to look for the icon and recognize the name of the a/c. I think HT has tried to find a happy medium between realism and video game and I think so far it's worked well for everyone.
