You have managed to completely miss the point, but for some reason I am not surprised.

I never said remove score all together, just the public aspect of it. That way the game can still tell who is higher rank for taking control of a CV. People can still see there -own- score to work at different goals, such as a 2 K\D Ratio. And people aren't worried about having a #1 beside there name for everyone to see.

WW2OL has the rank system like you mentioned. Overall it sucks pretty bad. The ones with rank pretty much decide what gets attacked or defended whether others agree with it or not.


Thats one reason I quit WW2OL by itself

Why?   How will they learn?   Don't give me the "They can in the TA!" answer, because it isn't the same in this case.

Rank is an ego filler for most.    Folks like SHawk, SR, Stang, Killn, and other vets who maintain a "low rank" routinely, usually shelve the ego (SR's ball busting doesn't apply).

About all it was most of the time was "Attack order has been issued for *insert town*. The ones ranked general had the say-so to what town they wanted us to attack, most were usually poor choices


For example, we had control of a town that could of been easily captured. If an attack order wasnt issued, we cannot capture it. A timer starts with an attack order and when that timer is up, then the "radios" appear. You have to guard that radio for 3 minutes (??) in order to capture that particular checkpoint. If you die or move, the timer resets to 0.


Or there was MANY a time where we had complete control on a town and close to capturing it. All of a sudden, the generals decide they dont want the town and the attack order is pulled. All of a sudden, those same "radios" dissapear and you cant do a single thing about it.  If you complain, the answer you get is more or less "Too bad, if you dont like it then go Axis" (we were on the allied side).

99% of the player base had no sayso whatsoever on what they wanted to capture, just the 1% that had the control pretty much raun the game their way (and thats why the allies lost the war 80% of the time.


Towards the end out of frustration and boredom, I would spawn a unit and purposely ditch/destroy/crash it just to spite them.  (you only have *X* number of units at that particular base. If you wreck all of them yourself, there wont be anymore until someone brings it from the neighboring town or it self-resupplies, maybe 20-30 minutes.


I liked to land planes on buildings then taxi them off into the ground, totally wrecking the plane.

Or take a truck or tank and seeing how far I can get by climbing up objects or inside of buildings (if I ditch it, its gone until its resupplied again)

I was a funkiller in WW2OL also :)

The only good part about the game I liked was the 88mm AA/AT Flak that the germans had.

Id like it, but it would probabally have a perk value to it plus the addition it would have to be towed by an M3. It would require new coding for all of it. I very much doubt we would see it in game. If we do, it probabally wont be for at least 2 years
