interesting idea leadpump. funny though i played the game offline for about 2 weeks b4 i tried it online though? that way i knew what i had to do instead of yelling on ch1 or ch2. funny thing is i didnt know how to work the radio wen i finaly got online

then one day titanium told me about the ".radio 1 2" command & i thought there might be more dot commands shure enough there were. so i looked em up

ps this was in the beta b4 they had the fancy radio they got now

damn i loved that terrain

Well certainly there's no flaw in your logic. There's a two week free period, and that certainly motivated me to get into the game and give it a good working over as quickly as possible.

I'm not the type to ask very much in game. Being into online games for a very long time (AW, MPBT, LoK, Ever Quest, Ultima Online, to name a few), I realize this is basicly not warmly welcomed. It doesn't really matter to me, as I'll figure something out by hook or crook. But I feel it would benefit the game and the community if the help files were tweeked a "little". You'd have a better trained and less annoying new player, who would be more likely to enjoy the game and stick around. Seems like a win win for everyone. I hoped to spread a little understanding for the new player, because just looking at the help files isn't always the answer. I for one am going to read what the deal is for land and sea "field guns" settings once again, cause after reading it a few times I'm still not sure what the heck that's about

I'm not bragging, although I love too

But I got straight A's in college and I haven't had the easiest times with the help files. So I imagine those one or two people on the internet that aren't as sharp as I am, or had the wealth of my online gaming experience might have a difficult time indeed. I'm not making excuses for people who don't try to help themselves, but there is a middle ground. For what it's worth, LP

I dug through the game offline for about 4 days before I went online. I didn't want to waste any of my free trial period cuz at the time, I didn't think I would be able to subscribe (true, took me about 4 months b4 i could)
Once I logged in I did have a few questions, not ALOT but a few nonetheless which covered areas i had ignored. When I logged in for the first time I had already set my headpositions for the aircraft I thought i would fly the most, set convergence, and mapped all my controls. +)

I dunno how guys can install, press play and then launch without ever checking control mappings.... This ain't quite quake where controls are almost universal.

the worst thing is the lack of role playing, there is no value to a life

little satisfaction from getting a kill as it is now unless its against an ace since you know he can just respawn

similarlyly, little fear of getting shot down, because like i said, you can just respawn

thats why things like tod are great but they are just on friday nights

...people who do not use the Training Room.

Can't say I recall many war footage where people are radio'ing "How do I get to the bombsight"

C'mon newbies, RTFM (Read The F*cking Manual) and go practice in the Training room. We're paying to play, not educate. If you feeling offended, take your weepy but to the training room. See a consistent thread?

Lack of player customisable skins, and an FE program to swap them around.

The dearth of Japanese aircraft models.

Hi all,

MA strat (or more strat needed for CT)
Troop Icons (loose them or reduce range down to 500ft - or less)
Not enough roles for the C47
My inability to hit anything unless it's nailed down

The focus on late war monsters.

Maniac,

I agree with you, but the problem starts when we define "Late war monsters".

Some people defined "Late war monsters" as anything after 1941.

Some people want an early war focus, some people want a mid-war focus and some people want a late war focus.

The problem is that the later the focus gets the more screwed the fans of early aircraft are and the earlier the focus gets the more late war fans are screwed as more and more of their toys aren't even present.

I myself would prefer a 1943 arena, but that has the unfortunate affect of removing the P-51D (which is almost a mandatory aircraft in these games) and the popular Fw190D-9.

I feel that 1943 gives the widest variety of competative aircraft for all six of the major powers.

Icons show plane/vehicle type. letting people pick and choose vulnerable targets. Also, perk planes become instant attention getters.....

one more for the list....

Ground Vehicle control system, Please can we have rudder for steering, Throttle (for Throttle), allowing full control of the vehicle even when in a gun position.
