I saw several sets of LVT dropped troops disappear today for this very reason.
They proably didn't get our base just because of it  :lol

I let out some troops last night and the rascals seem to be double timing it. They also ran past the maproom, looked at the map, checked their compass and then came back in lock step. Anyone else notice this?

someone overdosed em on that 5 hour energy stuff.  :noid

So if you drop egges from 25k and get nailed in process, you have to sit in tower now until they hit?

BS!

Badly thought out.

Kev... you need to keep up with whats been happening.  Folk were dropping ords at alt then bailing and upping a tank to collect the damage percentage.  Folk for years have been dumping troops out of M3's then bailing but upping c47's to collect bomber field captures.  Folk have been spamming PT torps for years then ditch repeat, ditch repeat, ditch repeat, ditch repeat, ditch repeat.  One guy is bad enough but when you have several there's 100+ torps chasing the surviving Cv.

It's not BS....just gotta let the ords hit or torps / troops run before upping another sortie.

Good to hear, about time.

btw Lynx, congrats on being numero uno. I wondered why the ranking changed.

Thank you for the congrates but 2 factors were involved 1) those that normally go for score didn't and 2) you cannot get to be number1 "over all" even with the new system, without gaming the crap outta it.  Which I did.

I know what had been happening.
This is still not the fix for it.
One 'possible alternative' would be to change the score system so you didn't get the points.

How long do u have to sit in the tower before a torp runs out? Thats what I mean by BS, poorly thought out.

Kind of makes it pointless to even attempt to torp a carrier with a plane now, doesn't it!!!!

Bailing yup, if u die it should't matter if u up right away or not.

how does it make it pointless? you've probably still got a possibility of a fight on your hands.

not every run is a suicide run and if your killeded is so hard to wait 1 min B4 upping again.

Skuzzy said in a post words to the effect it was designed to stop the torp spamming.  Someone else posted about deliberately riding into the fleet to get killed in the PT but complained about his torps disappearing after he upped yet another PT.  Seems it works just fine.

Nice torp run Lynx,..not often can you sink both ships and get away.

The map where A9 A10 pt spawns head west toward the cv spawn was a big problem if you remember, I was guilty of it many times....monkey see monkey do i guess you could say.


Are attack captures still possible in this version and what do you think the purpose of having them added into the previous version was? Never made sense to me :rolleyes:

Not only the torps but it prevents one or 2 guys from saturating a base with troops.
