I think these 40 guys are little more than troll, here and in the MA.  Something not quite right with them.
:huh

We just play the game and do whatever. Chances are, any problem you have with them is something you or got into after someone else started something. I haven't seen any of them go out and start something with any of you for no reason. From what I've observed in the MA, someone would call something out to one of us on 200, we'd respond.

Yes the nuke did happen, twice.
Two Japanese cities were bombed; they were terror bombings. There were no active combat airfields in the vicinity of Nagasaki or Hiroshima that were damaged by the blasts, at least that I'm aware of. No airfields were ever destroyed by the use of nuclear armaments. Thus this inevitable use in-game would be unrealistic.
Arguing this is pointless anyway as HTC has already said that the largest bomb they would put in game would be the 4000lbs bomb available for the Lancaster.

And, prominent can also mean important. While the B29 was certainly an important aircraft in WWII the United States already has many more than any other country.

As I said in another B29 thread, everything that's needs blown up can be done with what we already have. We don't need B29s, B52s, space shuttles and hubble telescopes. What we need is people to put in the effort and learn to play the game with what we have.
What you want is to drop a nuke on a field and ruin a fight that people are enjoying. Just so you can get some kills from 40k because you're too lazy to learn the game.
The 29 and atomic bomb was used in the very last weeks of the war and has no place in this game PERIOD.

As far as how my statements on this board reflect on my in game name, I don't care. I say what's on my mind whether it be online or off. I'll straight up tell you, I don't like kids in this game. They annoy me.

As for my squad, or anybody else in this game that knows me will tell you, I call it like I see it, don't beat around the bush or mence words. You're always welcome to file a complaint on the 412th web page link below.  :salute

I believe that's how wars are won? Countries with fewer planes, fewer tanks, fewer batleships didn't win WWII. And AH2 offering itself as a "premier WWII combat experience" should include at the minimum the prominent armaments that were available during the war. How can it be a premier WWII experience when you can't experience the nuke blast in your base!!!!

People like me(blow-up stuff mentals) who don't last 2.38secs in a dogfight and get shot down after 1 turn(run into a tree) should have the option to spend 500 perks on a nuke to even things up a bit!

mwahahahahahahaha!

40SkiZzo

You know how you can "even things up a bit" ?? Learn how to fight properly, and don't rely on crutches or shortcuts. Nukes is a STUPID idea in this GAME. Yes...this is a game and it has to have some BALANCE. I cant even believe were having a nuke discussion. One moron already has enough power to ruin a fight in the MA. You start giving clueless newbs a nuke and the gameplay will go down the drain. There will be a ton of griefers who milkrun for perks at night and use them on nukes during the day just to piss people off. And no, they wouldn't even be useful in a scenario because it only happened twice during the war and each time there was only 1 plane involved...Game Over.

I'm honestly not mad at HTC, but kinda disappointed that nothing came out of it.

B29 with no nuke would be marvelous.  Period.  I've checked the payloads, and some of them would be just fine in the game.  It would be fun.  It's not about "need."  It's a game.  A time consuming often fun game.

The space shuttle and telescope crack was funny though.

You know if this bunch of losers and whiners had been around back in the first Beta. Hitech would have folded up and gone to sit in a rocking chair someplace.

THIS is what the AH community has devolved into?

Ever sat down to do a job (any job) and after 2 hours of sweating, cussing, figuring and scrambling to try to make it work realize that for whatever reason. It just isn't going to work?

HT thought he could pull TOD/CT off, but he got boxed into a corner, and couldn't make it work.
And couldn't figure out how to make it work, or didn't have the right parts, etc. And realized that he's been leaving his main squeeze bread and butter pretty much neglected for all this time. So he shelves the unsolvable problem and goes back to work on AH.

How is this a bad thing for anyone?

HT doesn't have a crystal ball, he can't see 5 years into the future and go ooops, better not go there.

You want tell me where your going to be living and what your going to be doing 5 years from now?
Ohh and your betting everything that you own or will own that your going to be right. Because if your wrong its
all going to be mine.

Would you take that bet?

You think your disappointed? How do you think Hitech & crew feel?
They've poured years of work into something that just got shelved.

Give them a break. Shutup and fly, or go away, your choice.

Good post.

The face of the internet itself has changed over the last decade.  It's not because the demographic has become younger.  There were plenty of smart kids around 10 years ago, you just didn't notice their age.  The change is that the internet demographic has become dumber as more and more people log on, and its bled into games like AH in a way that just wasn't there before.

There were whiners even then, trust me... as there were back when Confirmed Kill and Warbirds all started.

Yep, all the time.  However, the last time we told our customers that everything was moving along fine for 4 years (instead of 2 hours) asked them to help us beta test the product, posted screen shots of the product, and delivered nothing, our arses got fired  :rofl 

Could not care less about CT. Nothing I was paying for or going to pay for so in my eyes it is a great decision.  I just get a kick from this HT religion mentality  :rofl

I play this game solely because of the fact I am interacting/fighting/laughing with other human beings. 

Hmmm... I play this game despite the fact that I'm interacting with/dying to/cursing under my breath at other human beings.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
