I'm not so sure some of you should jump to conclusions right away.  This was a reenactment of the raid on Polesti on the strats. This wasn't your typical 20 Lancaster raid to smash a town.  It's nice to occasionally bring a little history to AH.

Please be coherent.  I'd like to understand your post.

Dear Ammo sir,

I apologize for not being clear but I was using my phone.  I know I should not have but it was a very funny post and I could not resist.  But since you asked nicely, I will take some time to explain.

Player A goes on line to find a multi-player game that he can play.  That implies that player A is looking to play against other people.  To do that, he decide to pay HT X$ per month.  Then, player A logs into the game and plans a mission to avoid contact with the other players (the ones he pays X$ per month to play against).  His mission fails because he had contact with other players (the ones he pays X$ per month to play against).  So, player A decides to file a complain about having contact with other players (the ones he pays X$ per month to play against).

Player A has the option to do the above off line for free but for some reason he wants to be in a multi-player environment trying to avoid contact with the other players (the ones he pays X$ per month to play against).  In addition, player A blames spies for his or his teammates inability to stay bellow the required altitude for playing hide and seek.

Please let me know if that clears up any confusion caused by my incoherent first post and I will be happy to further explain.  I will do my best but, keep in mind that maybe you just can't.

Thank you,
Dedalos

Well, how many planes did that mission lose after being detected?

Dedalos,

Thanks for your time clearing that up - obviously; I am not up to speed on translating smartphone posts.  No need to further explain.

Predictable.  The last snap shot I seen had 17 people in it.  I've done FSO, can't remember seeing a Polesti raid in FSO. Scenarios do not fit well with my life schedule.  But please continue to offer advice on where I can have fun with historical background involved.

And where in any of my post did I mention getting shot down, or dislike of getting shot at?

No where.  Did I say that? 

I was just making a point that if they were running a real world scenario, they actually achieved it.

:airplane: These guys in here tickle me! All they want to do is shoot down a/c or blow up tanks! They could care less about historical events which I try to re-enact in the MLW arena, and don't bother about the scenario's, they are OK if that is your bag. Personally, I like to plan the mission, fly the mission and am greatly disappointed if I don't get all my bombers home safe. But I forget sometimes, this is just a game, where you point guns or bombs at something, blow it up or shoot it down, get just as much good feeling as shooting BB guns down at the trash dump, killing rats.
I just try to give the guys a little different taste for the "game" and make it interesting to attend our squad night missions! Sorry if that distrubes some people, who only want to furball or tank battles.
What I do when I run up on a set of enemy bombers, or a enemy CV, I put it out on country in the text buffer, I don't alert everybody in all three countries on 200. I just think that is NOT the way the game should be played!

The following represents the typical reaction of the "average" AH player upon receiving ch200 NOE Buff raid report.

why is it that grown men feel the need to complain about the actions of other people in a video game then when no one appreciates the magnitude of their outrage, they resort to reminding everyone of how childish their actions are in a video game?
