OK Jamdive, let me put it this way: Realism has to take a back seat to game play.

Either convince HTC to make the VH's require 6000lbs of ord to destroy, make it so killing ammo bunkers only cuts the ord you can take in half, or accept that (for reasons of game play) planes NEED to be able to track tanks.



Are you implying that HiTech increased the lethality of certain aircraft guns to allow them to take out the tracks of a tank in the name of game play?  If you are, do you have any proof to back this claim or like 99.9% of the stuff you post, just pulling it out of your ass?

ouch.  I bet someone is going to Rule # [insert] you real quick like.   :lol

There is not anyone who can comment on the damage model for AH unless they're given the "abadaba" [sign of the cross] and have the blessing from Hitech himself.  or better yet... comes from Hitech himself. 

Me?  I'd be willing to bet that each portion of each vehicle has a threshold for damage.  Also, each weapon has a maximum amount of damage it can cause based on the type of weapon and warhead it has.  Tie those 2 forumla together and "puuf" you might have something to hypothesize with.   :aok

Oh, I'm sure Nemisis will go running off in tears to Skuzzy reporting how I was mean to him again on the forums. 

However, I would still like him to confirm whether he was implying that he made certain guns on airplanes more lethal to allow tracking of ground vehicles purely for game play reasons.  If Nemisis was implying this, then I would like to the proof he has that will show HiTech purposely over modeled a plane's guns for game play reasons.

While I don't expect any "proof" from our little misguided squeaker, I do expect to see a lot of backpedaling.

I am curious . Why does a thrown track cause an entire side of road wheels to be lost ?  The only thing imho that should track a tank the way guns do in this game is a near miss from a bomb . Most of the time when you see a tank lurched over on its side it is the ground that has given way not the road wheels .

Alot of backpedaling in every thread Nemisis posts in. Namely making HT angry and giving the younger generation of AH pilots a bad name.

No Ack-Ack, I'm saying that if he is right about the tracks being damaged (I would assume due to HTC not wanting or being unable to fire automatic weapons at the tracks of a WWII tank to get data for a video game), then hes going to have to suck it up. I personally feel that a few tigers are hard enough to stop when the ord and VH is down.


And Jamdive, if you can show me a self propelled AA gun capable of fireing puffy ack, then I will be all for it (really don't like bomb****s, and large caliber AA guns often have AP rounds too)
