Some people don't seem to have such a narrow view what this game is and should be about:

 ;)


 :aok

I wish AH Had a character animation system so FPS and troops could be integrated.


[...] Mine really is a real wish list, nothing posted of aggravation meant. But my wish are weighed against many other peoples needs and wishes cost and many others. So given an unlimited amount of time , yes I could make all my wishes come true, but I do not have unlimited time.

So, as WWI planes were also listed on HT wishlist -> and this wish will come true till end of year, maybe there will be an character animated system in the near future.

Dont they have other games for all that?

Thats all we need is some little cartoon doosh emptying a BAR into our cockpit as we fly by. This is a flight sim not an infantry sim. Thumbs down.

QFT.

Although, I would like to see their legs move at least a little bit.

While most don't do anything with whats given to them, there are a good number of those that do. What your saying is because some of us didn't choose to use this feature, the rest of us don't get anything else.

I actually kinda like the idea, minus the animations due to frame rates etc

But yeah to control troop movements to a certain extent would be pretty cool. To be able to drop troops in your town for defense against capture, forcing more C47s to bring in troops etc.

I like it.

actually i think it would be kindda nice to control troops, imagine sneaking them past tanks and werbies, running around town, that would be awesome  :banana: :banana:.  just like the dancing banana.

Actually, what I'm saying is the troops run to the map room.  They don't shoot.  They don't change direction.

They could be carrying brooms or band instruments and be as effective as with the "better weapons".

In short, what difference does it make.

Regular infantry didn't move out with just a 45 caliber pistol, soldiers had rifles and machine guns, not to mention the other goodies that the quartermaster handed out.

The legs should also move when they run to the base.

My idea is:

  • 1 BAR
  • 6 M1 Garand Rifles
  • 2 M1919A1 30 caliber machine gun
  • 1 bazooka

This would allow infantry to actually destroy a little bit of ack and town,
and even take out enemy infantryand tanks if they were there.

Go play Cod if you want this. Troops arent suppose to do anything in the game besides run to the maproom.

Uhh, for one I don't play Call of Duty.

Also I didn't say anything about an FPS, the next guy did.

I meant that they could take out an ack or two, not destroy tanks.

And that's the point, you can't do anything with a Colt .45, let's give them something that shoots.
