ATTN: Fighter Pilots - Be Scared,,,

[te1qut]

Salute One And All Pilots
Fighter Pilots - Be Scared, be Very Scared!

Now that I have your attention.
1st let me say I'm a Squad man myself.
I don't really have anything against  Fighter Pilots,furballers,vultchers etc.
Any given arena should be able to be designed to accommodate both types of players, if design is done "properly".
(Or  better yet have one of the countries be fighters Only,that way they could come kill the Squads as they please)

However: the  Fighter Pilots,furballers,vultchers  may be in for a VERY Big suprise.
Think about it, HTC is making a new game that as far as I hear is spoz to be "more" like a real war.
Now take that into affect,,, did real wars just have "Fighter Pilots,furballers,vultchers". No.
Real Wars have MANY Squads,and to win the war you take property ie bases.
So! if the Fighter Pilots,furballers,vultchers , dont like the Squads-Mega Squads now, they may very well be in for the shock of their life when they see Squads with #s like 200 or 300.
Go look at wwiionline(IMHO that game sucks),it is not pilot friendly AT ALL, and the Fighter Pilots,furballers,vultchers,
may be up against that in the Near future!!!

Just something to think about.

Here Here wezy!!! I got ur back

not sure how to respond, but i will:)

ToD, last name i knew anyway, will have AI so that it will give a more historical feel to aircombat.  if the mission is not full then last i knew the open spots would by filled by AI.  not really sure how this affects furballers, we just looking for a good fight.  the arena's we know today will still be around.  i might suggest it will be less of a shock for the furballing community than for other parts, especially since many furballers have experienced that strat game.  i know i still remember how to drop a bomb:) just a thought though.

Combat Tour isn't a replacement for AH, and there are already plenty of WW2 era games that aren't like AH. What's your point?

CT will not have squads...at least that's what I remember reading.

[te1qut]

OK
So what Im hearing is what ever the game is called is(HTC cant even makeup their mind on that let alone how to set up present areans),,,,anyway what ever its called,there will be no squads, just a bunch of AI that you fly with to go bomb a tgt,
WOW How exciting (NOT)
If that is so then,,, sry, HTC has lost its marbles.


OH BTW what about Goons? will there be goons in new game?, or will AI do that too??????????????

Sorry to piss on ya chips mate but the furballer guys won't give a rats prettythang about TOD / CT.  They won't get involved apart from 1 or 2 goes to see what it's about then take the piss on these boards. Don't worry about the commited furballers this aspect of AH is NOT for them.

As said it's not a replacement it's a supplement.  After nearly 3 years I'm looking forward to some megga missions and the , heaven forbid, "challenge" of making my character a high ranking "the dogs bollocks" officer.  No up Ho an go. No up throw an blow.  No flop an drop.  The vast majority in AH that consider themselves "Strat" players like team play and expantionism .  Unfortunatly, all to common these days, some of our beloved "strat" players go to extremes to accomplish their goals.  They will even argue / condone their actions.  After all didn't all b26's pilots suicide dive bomb enemy shipping....sshheeesss bunch of "twats".

Here's where we divide the men from the boys or the players from the "gamers".   My character is going to have substance.  Is going to follow the mission briefs.  My character will engage targets or enemy with just 2 main objectives.  Accomplish mission objective and return himself and his aircraft to base.  My character if shot down he will have been shot down "TRYING". If my character is killed he will have died "TRYING".

The statement shouldn't be "Furballers be aware" the statement is

"What substance is your character".

OK....someone wanna splain this Post to me???

Real Wars have MANY Squads,and to win the war you take property ie bases.

Actually, you do that with infantry and armor, supported by a logistics trail that dwarfs the actual warfighters. I "hear" (but I  admittedly might have a detail or two wrong) that in the CT you will start out as a truck driver, and after months of moving supplies to forward depots you MAY graduate to a C-47 pilot. From there, it might only take 1-2 years to work up to bomber or fighter pilot, with the proper support of a local Congressman. You could also spend 6 months or so as a gunner to speed the process. Just what I've heard in the military-style rumor mill.

When the Real Life-style full attrition model kicks in it should speed things up. One death = cancel account.

Just something to think about.
