I don't think its any more complicated than that.
But to the topic at hand. Black Widow would be really nice to see, regardless of the entire evening debate. Along with it the Uhl would be equally nice. Lotsa Mossie meat out there for that hotrod.
Naaa I think they changed it because of the whines. Not the logging. Logging doesnt effect their bottom line. They still collect their $15. And while whining doesnt either. It does get tiresome to hear.
When they first got rid of it the reason given was "to put the whines on the other side of the fence for a while"
Most of the changes in gameplay that have been made in my time here was not from people logging off, but because relatively small but very vocal groups of people often making false claims of "most people" to try to strengthen their arguement whined incessantly over and over and over and over again until something was done about it.
The addition of night. the removal of night,Fuel porking, making it more difficult to bomb from bombers,Trees, Tree heights, and our current ENY system are all the direct result of people whining enough so that HTC made the change.
Whining works
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease" and all that sort of thing.
And we all do it in one way or another. Its just a matter of how persistent you are as to how successful you will be.
Some may say they arent whining but feel they have a legitimate gripe. But one persons gripe is another persons whine.
and even if it was because people were logging off. That is just another way of whining. "Your not gonna play my way so Im gonna stamp my feet and go home"
I doubt many people canceled their accounts because of night.
they just stomped their feet and went home LOL
But the point I was trying to make is not having the P61 because we dont have night is not even close to a legitimate arguement.
For 1 because the only reason we dont have night is because for whichever reason it is, be it people logging or whining about it.
Otherwise we would have night.
And for 2 Historical accuracy isnt valid either. For one thing there is very little "historically accurate" about the MA other then the planes were actually used in WWII. People use planes in the MA on a regualr basis in ways they were never intended and rarely if ever used in ways they get used here. That alone blows that arguement out of the water
And if that arguement is used we might as well get rid of lancasters also as the vast majority of their runs were done...at night.
Even with the divebombing heavies alot of us hate. Myself included. Its been said by HT himself that they could have been used that way which is why he doesnt want to make the change.
Well P61's could have been used in the daytime also. And in reality would have been far far FAR more likely to be used in daytime on a regular basis then divebombing B-17's and Lancasters.
