DS - I thought you were putting me on ignore! - or was that statement BS like all your others?
How would you know beet.... you..... don't..... play.. - Lazs
I qualified my statement by saying
"But unless things have changed"... and I say again that a buff pilot could (back then) invite other players to man the gun positions. Are you saying that's BS? Is that what DS thinks is BS? The one slightly gamey part of it was that they could join mid flight, using the AH teleport device!
You keep banging on about buffs and toolshedders, not just in this thread but in numerous other threads over the years. I really can't see what your problem is. Just because YOU think that YOUR way is the only way to play this game, on maps of which YOU approve because they meet YOUR criteria, does that mean that everyone else has to toe the furball line? What happened to all that "more freedom" stuff you're fond of spouting in the O'Club?
Yes I do think that the toolshedders game is more realistic than yours in a relative sense. It's simple. In WW2, the didn't just send up fighters to toy with other fighters. WW2 had an
objective - land grab. The Germans were after Limeyland and they damn near succeeded. The strategy was to bring in bombers to destroy strategic targets - factories, towns, airfields. They wanted to destroy the RAF on the ground. This was a prelude to invasion which, as in AH (unless things have changed) would be achieved by landing troops at some stage. Thankfully that never happened. Did they ever destroy the fighter hangars at our airfields? You bet your life they did. One of my uncles served in WW2 (as a civilian) and his job as a builder was to repair airfields that had been hit. I shall find out more....
But basically, if other players want to engage in what they feel is as close as they can get to simulating WW2 combat and capture of territory using the strat objects that exist in AH because they were
put there by HTC, you're saying that they're wrong because it doesn't accord with YOUR model of how the MA should be. YOU KNOW that HTC created the strat as it is and YOU KNOW that they put buffs in the game, and you SHOULD know that the objective of AH as defined by the very people who produced it is "to capture territory by land, sea and air attacks" - or something like that.
So if you can't be arsed to get off your virtual butt to repel the very attacks which you so despise, maybe you're playing the wrong game - or the right game the wrong way.
