Again, I think the worst thing HTC ever did was credit Lusche with the arena split.

They did WHAT?  :O

I'm confused... I never asked for the arena split, I was very opposed to it and did my share of whining about it over the years and can't remember being blamed for it by anyone  :headscratch:

My apologies, Lusche, I meant the new Euro hours as related to the off hour arena.

Lusche may have been responsible for the actual split, but I can't say for certain. He was definitely responsible for Chernobyl and the Hindenburg disaster as well.    :devil

Sorry, I did not think they were THAT serious with that "NO SMOKING" signs on the Hindenburg  :noid


About the offhours thing... it's all okay now. The first 2 months had been horrible. Not only because of the complains, but because suddenly a lot of people thought I had any kind of special standing or secret ties to HTC. I was bombarded with messages "Tell Dale to do xxx" (I have never even spoken to Mr. Addink!) or "It's a nice idea, but you should now also do yyy" and "You should fix zzz...!"  :lol

This would probably be the reason that this request will never see the light of day. One player getting harassed by another under false circumstances.

While I wasn't sitting in a SB at the time...

A: This topic wasn't in the wishlist when I posted it.

B: The picture wasn't meant to be funny.  It was meant to illustrate two points...1) how an icon for manned guns would have prevented the harassment I got from those two that thought I was spying in the SB and 2) to show Slap's point about how some get harassed under false circumstances. 

It was intended to show my support for this wish because if the SB did have an icon, I wouldn't have received the crap I did on that particular day when some thought I was sitting in the SB and spying for the other side.

On very, very rare occasions I might hop in a manned gun to help out but 99.9% of the time I wouldn't waste my time.

I posted a picture of Andy Rooney, it had nothing to do with your picture. That is what I was commenting about.

I reviewed films of a field in which 4 37mm were occupied (one by me) and I was the only one firing with planes and tanks well within d400.

Sadly, the film does not show names.

I really think that knowing who is manning the guns will go a long way toward removing this type of dweebery.

As long as this remains a game and nobody's real life is at jeopardy, there will be people that game the game for their own reasons.  It's sad, but just get over it and move on.

yes it does.. they show up as G-S



but I am in favor of icons on the guns anyway..  can't see how it hurts anything.. I sit in 37's alot, and it would be easier for friendlies to see me there than to ask on range "where are you? i dont see you"

icepac..if you're taking this this seriously as it seems you are....you need to step back, and take a break. it'll help you enjoy the game more when you're in there.
