Would they plan and prepare landing areas beforehand?  Or would just fly to the general area and see just anywhere to land?

It would be cool if we could get roads that we can land on.  I've always thought it was weird that you could land anywhere and not have to worry about damaging anything.

It depended on the situation.  In some cases they would cut away a small clearing in the jungle but in the battle I briefly mentioned, there just happened to be a road wide enough to accomodate some C-47s landing with troops.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

I'd like to see us C-47 drivers be able to select an option where we are invisible to friendly radar when below normal radar coverage heights or (if that's tough to implement) at all times. Why? For the past couple of months on squad night when we fly against one unnamed country (it doesn't happen against the other) our C-47s that have landed early and are in hiding are methodically picked off by fighters. Sometimes they are located quite a distance from the action. What is disturbing is that the fighters fly directly to our landed and somewhat concealed C-47s without any prior hunting around. This is now the norm rather than the exception when flying against this one country on squad nights.

The obvious explanation for what is happening is that someone has two computers at their house and one of their computers is set to Aces High in my country. The guy with two computers then gives headings for his countrymen to attack targets that are registering on one radar screen but not the other. Stationary targets are a sure giveaway for C-47s. Someone is gaming the game and a modification to the Aces High program will remove this cheat.

we put one of these in every one of your C-47's.... all's fair in love and war...

If you have a goon sitting on the ground. His icon is almost impossible to see because the icon is placed under him. So Flip upside down so the icon will then be above him so you can see it.The enemy icons are below their planes, Friendlies are above. Plus if someone has Graphics down and skins turned off. The default goon skin puts off a flicker even if you arent within icon range.
Well that works I just tried it out :O I never knew that.

ZetaNine, We found one of your GPS devices inside the C-47's inflatable judy doll (we keep these on board in case of ditchings). Unsportsmanlike conduct, sir.

what the judy doll lacks as a flotation device...she more than makes up for as a companion on those long missions.

I really don't see a problem with his request.  It takes the :noid factor out of the game, and I don't see what's wrong with that.  It can only be a positive thing for the game.

What's wrong with it?


OMGZORBBQWFT! What a concept! THen the NOE dweebs will whine when THEY are "spied upon", then the guys launching normal missions will whine when they're intercepted halfway to target! The horror! Actually RUNNING INTO THE FRAKKIN' ENEMY!!!!! ON NOEZ!!!!111!!!

Why not remove all icons?


^-- if you don't get my point, I'm not going to explain it. Suffice it to say you not seeing the problem doesn't negate the problem itself.

Naaa, you have to teach and train "angry"...it can't be passed on genetically :rofl :rofl :rofl

After all, Bruce Lee had no specific hereditary traits that helped him become exceptional.  He did it all by himself with hard work and proper training.  Bruce Lee was born basically normal.   :rofl :rofl

Changeup

PS - That example from that Heredity vs Skill thread was absolutely the best...I laughed my bellybutton off for an hour.
