HT I honestly think you are looking for what is not there...please bear with me for some minutes in this last reply.
The SAD is the insult, it implies you do not like how we post on plane topics. Humm yes, you are right, I don't like to see some posts answered and others not...but does thad imply an insult?. At all moments I've agreed that any of you were perfectly free to asnwer where you wanted to. I simply didn't like to see some posts ignored, thats all.
Is that an Insult?...honestly don't think so.
One more insult now even when we do post, we post totally incorrectly an suck at handling topics on our bbs.You extrapolate a too harsh affirmation, putting it in my name. No, I don't think you suck at handling topics on our BBS. In fact I think you are pretty free-minded in that department, generally speaking. And I like that.
But yes, I think that not posting in threads with data showing that AH's FM may not be accurate (data wich, at least, deserves some credit) isn't good. Is what I think. But to think that doesn't automatically imply that I think you suck at handling a board, HT. And in fact is far from what I think.
One more insult, you assume we wouldn’t have responded to this tread. This orignal topic is such an easy one for us to respond to. It’s simply testable by everyone, is no facts in discussion, the plane either matches or notYes, I assumed you won't have answered this thread. And I think that not without a good reason. please bear with me and understand why do I say this:
The "190A5 SL speed" thread was also an easy one to answer to, HT. It had a very straightforward speed chart, origin being Focke-Wulf FleugZeugbau, wich showed the Fw190A5 between 10 and 15mph faster at Sea level than what it is in Aces high. yet it got no answer.
The "190G8" thread was also an easy one to speak about. In it we discussed the existance of a very wide series of 190 F and G jagdbombers using wing drop tanks and heavy bombs. We posted photos and discussed their origins,etc. Yet it got no answer.
Same goes for lots and lots of threads about 190 weapon goodies with scans and the such, wich have been posted for months in this forum. The wing rockets in the Jabo 190s, for instance. There have been several threads about the issue. They got no answer.
So, when I saw another 190 thread I simply thought "yet another wich will go bypassed".
Is that to insult you? or to take a look back at the past events and extrapolate that you won't take a part in this thread too?.
Is the second.
We monitored that tread, no need for us to respond to it, other people were handling both sides of the issue.Aye, but you have also monitored other threads in the past AND answered -briefly, but answered- to them...(going from loong past issues as the n1k2 climbrate at hi alts,or the P38 damage model and FM, P47 Paddle prop, P47 DTs...lots and lots of examples here).
I hope you understand that seeing no answer whatsoever to the Fw190 threads was frustrating at its best.
HT I Know you in HTC were aware of that thread. I know you look into the forums and READ them, and is something to be happy about.
But a simple post saying either "yes, the speed in AH is correct,so its staying the way it is, because that chart..." or "yes, the speed in AH may be a bit under the chart, we'll look at it..." is all what it would've got me to not get at all concerned with this issue.
And is not that I saw no answer to one thread...the problem is I saw no reply, but not on ONE thread, but in LOTS of threads about the 190...
Anyway I never intended that to be taken as an insult, either.
Why should it? Have we done a release since that topic?Yep, last patch was released after the 190A5 SL discussion.
I repeat I never demanded an IMMEDIATE fix. I just wanted to see HTC's opinion on a chart wich shows a 190A5 almost as as fast as a Fw190A8 on the deck. This in turn got me angry on the P47 DT addition while the F8 remained the same (topic wich, BTW, I admit I absolutely went ballistic on that one.)
Read my other post ram, you have become nothing but so much noise, continualy insulting us and it’s why we don’t respond to you. Some one else could use the same data, and we might respond, but if we don't except every one of your ideas, in your view we are the ones who are in errorNo, HT...is not that way...for instance, I posted a chart wich shows a faster Fw190A5 than the one represented in AH. That doesn't mean that you are the one "in error". You have your sources and you follow your sources. According your sources, you surely have got right the 190A5 FM.
I just put up another source wich,(assuming it wasn't already in your hands) if it was taken in account, it might mean a change of the FM. Or it might not.
The problem is that I got absolutely no clue on which was the cases...and the lack of answer was quite frustrating.
I have no choice but to do that ram, everyone sees stuff threw his own eyes,I honestly think you read too much and too deep into my posts, HT. And you find what is not there. This is said with complete sincerity.
Another insult, you imply our game is porked, you just make the statement that you don’t think it’s Intentionaly porked.Again, not. I show sources wich don't coincide with AH's FM data. That doens't mean AH's FM data is WRONG: it is right by your standards and the sources and data you have at hand.
So, there is nothing like "is not INTENTIONALLY porked"...just happens it was done without having knowledge of a determinate source, wich, taken into account, would mean a different FM.
So, I neither think the 190A5 is intentionally porked, or UNINTENTIONALLY porked. I just think is modelled using sources wich do not include the chart mentioned. And that if we take the chart into account, the FM should see a change.
Is so hard to understand?...does imply any insult?.
Answer is no.
Here is the vailed threat, althow not much of one. It sais that you will now consider once again quiting. No. I just remark that I don't take you as a group of liers, but a group who deserve to win my money giving me a nice entertainment in exchange. I said that just to illustrate that I have been supporting your team during 2 years because I think you are worth it.
And saying that is a threat that I'm going to quit?...please HT, is FAR from it. It's been a LONG time since I got over the "I quit" period. Tho I understand you might have taken it this way, it is NOT this way.
I never said I would quit...and in sincerity I have deleted my account because your answer (I thought I was going to be banned after my answer, and I would decline to pay for AH if I'm banned from the forums). Seeing your answer and understanding that you've completely mistook my posts, I'll reopen my account as soon as I can (even what that means I've lost money).
Ram have you ever considered how many people you have chased away?
Have you consider us letting you come back deserves a little more respect for us from you?
I would expect your next response to this as somthing like, well you guys all hate me ill just quit. And once again you will wan't to show yourself as the injured party.
Ram your best responce to this topic and many others is a simple apoligy, with no strings attached, i.e. no posting trying to justify yourself.
And then let the issue die.
to answer in proper order:
1-I honestly think I've helped more people to stay than to go. Even ammo, who is openly against me in this forums- will have to admit that I am completely open to help training newbies (remember terracota, ammo?...those were the times, huh?
).
In the time I've been in AH I had very bad moments of online behavior and I can't erase that. But I don't think there will be anyone who says I'm an online jerk anymore.
2-I just think that to talk this this way and in the open is yet another proof that you deserve lots of respect. and I DO hold that respect for you, as you might notice now that I've answered above what I have. You're not talking about anything new for me,HT. I've always hold an enormous respect and admiration for you and your team.
3-you dont know me, HT, and this is the clear proof
4-I disagree, I had to explain what you had gotten wrong. Remember there is a big language barrier for me each time I try to talk or write in public. Sometimes comments wich are completely inocuous might be taken as a direct offense (see avobe,t oknow about what I mean). And I think this is exactly one case of it.
I do apology if I've offended you, and anyone at HTC because it was far from what I want to do. VERY far.
So please accept my most sincere excuses, Hitech, Pyro, Superfly, Natedog, Ronni and (last but not the least...because she's the one I really offended once when there was a problem with the CC-and I hope she has accepted my sincere apology, presented a long, long time ago)...Yankee.
5- I hope you just answer this post. Will answer only at your request.
<S>
