Are there any escorting M16?
a convoy without defence would be like a pizza without peperonis

oh come on bullethead!!! all u can see is somethin wrong? why don't ya squeak about there being no headlights...

Shouldn't be headlights

They get removed by the brass to keep dweeb drivers from using them despite orders.

I'm pointing out that the convoy's trucks are way too close together and not on opposite sides of the road as they should be. They are in parade formation, not tactical formation. If in the game they drive as shown here, then they're simply toast on 1 pass. They need to be spaced out so 1 bomb won't get more than 1 vehicle and even strafing all down the length is a bit difficult due to running out of altitude before running out of trucks.

If these things are going to have an impact on the strat situation, then they need to more than just range targets. Especially given that probably the defenders will have no idea where they are to defend them anyway.

Now if this follows previous patterns of game enhancements, some of the folks over at brand WB will bad mouth this change extensively, and in six months, when it is added to their game, it will be "the coolest thing every" and proof that their game is a marvel of leading edge changes.

(think Tanks, M16s, etc)

heheh

BulletHead, you have a good point, but it could have been worded a bit differently.

I am reminded of an event that occurred when I was a bit younger.

The family all sits down for dinner (3 brothers, 1 sister, me being the oldest, and mom and dad), and after eating Mom surprises us with a fresh baked apple pie.
My reaction was "Wow, thanks Mom!", but my sister took a different tact. "Mom, why can't we have ice cream with it?"

I look over at Mom and she was near tears. I look over to my sister and tell her, "Ann, you are being a bit ungrateful, Mom went out of her way to make this pie for us, you should be more thankful about it" Ok, Ok, I was not so eloquent about it, but you get the point.
All Ann had to do is ask if there was any ice cream, instead of making a negative remark about the lack of it. Turns out, Mom had ice cream for those that wanted it.

Anyway,..Bullethead, just saying there are better ways to say some things. Your points are historically correct, but could have been stated better.

That said,, WTG HTC!!!!!! and a big <S>Superfly for this really nice work.
And thanks for sharing the early shots of whats to come.

Tact has never been one of my strong points, especially when I've been drinking as I have been all afternoon. But because my lack of tact seems to be obscuring my point, I'll try again.

HTC, WTG on getting convoys rolling. Now please put them in tactical formation.

Happy now?

heheeeeeeee,yet, another hijacked thread

Apple pie,though?? Apple pie?? heheeee what ever floats your boat. BTW, the best place to have apple pie is on a sailboat at anchor in a secluded cove as the sun sets just above the horizen in its best reds

She comes through the companion way to the cockpit with a freshly baked apple pie. Her blonde hair flowing in the lite breeze, that perfect upturned nose and that smile any angel would kill for and offers a slice of her heavenly creation she has slaved over the entire afternoon just for your pleasure.

Sorry, I can't continue as I must go find those sailboat catalogs.

I will let your imagination compile the rest of the evening
