OK, I didn't know what this was all about till I tried it last night. I got in the Ostwind and had to hold the trigger down on a small raid and I couldn't sustain the defense. I am not a young pup like some of you and my eyes started to hurt and I got a darn headache.
HCT should do some studies about eyestrain before implementing something as dumb as this. It is one thing to make the gun shake in a stationary field of view, but to make the entire view shake is sickening. I can't even fire the pintle gun now. I kind of think that HTC got in an Ostwind and fired 50 or 100 rounds and said "Wow, that looks cool" and implimented it. They didn't sit on a base under attach for 30 minutes to an hour fending off hundreds of aircraft.
And to those that say "This will force LTAR into planes", if I could fly a plane worth crap I wouldn't belong to a ground unit now would I?
As it stands now, until HTC fixes this blurred vision crap with the weapons, I can't play unless I want to get a massive headache. I mean this. It hurts to play for an evening.
Now to the other issue that seems to be laced in this thread.
Richard_RD, not meaning to be to blunt, but you don't know squat. When we started our rotation of the squads, respect from the Knights, as a whole wasn't really the issue. Most of us didn't want to leave the Knights for the rotation. Myself included. I was a Knight since day one and didn't want to have anything to do with the other sides. But I decided to better enhance my playing skills, it would be good to play with and understand the other sides. Also it was decided that if we did the rotation, 100% of the squad would have to agree and if ANY one member didn't want to go, then none of us would go. When we went to the Bishops, we went as a squad and we were welcomed with open arms and made to feel at home. We were now Bishops and they didn't harbor any ill will that we were once Knights. Then after we had spent our time with the Bishops, it was time to move to the Rooks. The first day there, a few of the squads welcomed us as an Aces High squad come to fight by their side. Not an enemy squad. (
HAs). But mostly we were made to feel like unwelcome interlopers. There are a lot of really good people on the Rooks, but we happened to be met by the cream of the crop. Whether in jest or malice we didn't feel welcome and didn't like being there so we all moved back to the Bishops where we felt we could do the most good and were happiest. If it had been a new player treated as we as a squad, he would have left the game and you wouldn't have given it a second look. Excuse the hell out of us for wanting to play where we had the most fun. And as far as "Getting the respect we thought we deserved", we expect to get the same respect as ANY player should get.
If this doesn't fit with your preconceived notion of what you though you knew about a squad you know nothing about, I am sorry. I guess you need to find a new source for your gossip.
Wolf14, you’re an example of what I was talking about. Respect for a squad doesn't mean squat but common courtesy and respect for other players in the game does mean a lot.
I am LTARsqrl. I play fair. I do my best to respect other players. If I am wronged or feel that I was dealt a bad hand by an enemy, I will still salute him and expect my fellow squad members to do the same. When someone calls me ltard or disrespects my squad or me I salute him because he is the one that needs it. If I put 10 Tiger rounds into a Panzer and he kills me with one shot, I might cry and complain to my squad mates how unfair it is, but to that enemy, I will salute him. And more over I expect the same from my squad mates. If you can't play fair and respect others even if you feel that you were wronged and you can't give the enemy players respect, you could never earn an LTAR patch.
We play fair, we fight to have fun. If we are your teammates or your enemies we salute you and expect the same in return. No more, no less.
Deal with it.
