M3 Effectiveness.....

[bustr]

OK ladies, now that we have all broken off our 7 inch stiletto heels stamping our tiny little feet in righteous indignation, and beat the stuffings out of our pearl beaded hand bags over this. Let alone put runs in all of our nylons and fishnets. Isn't the end of the testing month about up for Hitech to pull his numbers on the M3? And you know, Hitech is so busy, he hasn't even looked at my new MA terrain that I turned in for inspection about two weeks ago. Either he is bullet proofing VR or something interesting is on the horizon.....

Let me tell you, you do not want to see Junky in his high heels and fishnets, nope, the whole squad found a box canyon and flew into the walls to clean that vision out of our eyes.....

M3 promotes sissy combat.

Let me guess... u consider those that drove M3s with or without troops
"sissies" in the WWII, Korean, Nam and subsequent wars?

Don't bring up real war with this because that is completely ridiculous....if it was realistic we wouldn't have vehicle spawns and it would take a steady flow of m3s over the duration of the day to resupply fields.

or 109s handing out together at high alt waiting to pick... For once I agree with you junky.. Nothing about this game resembles real war.. However it's still really fun

The reason you are getting that kill is because the person attacking you is making a mistake, not because of your talent. Same when you get a kill with a main gun from a tank.
If you mean passionate like he was with his FPH's  then I'll take it as a compliment 

Its only way to get a kill,NO? It takes skill,not everyone can do it! I dont try to main gun from a tank, i suck at it. Everything in this game requires some degree of skill. I understand what you were trying to say, though.

Not really, the aiming mechanic with guns is easy compared to other first person shooters

What aim?
You wait for the strafing plane to be right over you and then shoot at the tree next to you. The plane dies from the blast radius.

It's most effective with a competent driver.

This was while driving over a sector on the trinity map that people say is impassable.

It's not, obviously, if you can straddle the tops of the mountains for the entire trip.

 LOL this reminds me of the time I drove a sector and a half through Mindanao, a good share of it in reverse because 1st gear couldn't climb the hills and hid above the town of one of the rooks 163 bases back when they were still capturable.  I waited for 3 squad mates to level town with buffs and then snuck in with red cons flying over me the entire time. I mean why look down, there was no GV spawn to that base.  Right as my troops took the map room 10 or more 163's decided to launch all at once into unfriendly field guns.. I'm sure we had some unhappy folks just then. 
  Sorry, a bit off topic but I just had a trip down memory lane.

But... the goal I think HTC is striving for IS realism... if it weren't... its just an arcade game

They are but if you want that type of realism then have fun with hours of driving supplies.

The fact that objects/resources are still set to be able to be destroyed ever since this game's birth..

The fact that the game still contains all the facets and characteristics of being much more than just exclusively about fighter aircraft,

and the fact that HTC for 18 years has not wavered in the slightest from that approach proves the company still caters to a much broader demographic of subscribers than just simply and exclusively fighter enthusiasts.

Oh, the disdain occasionally uttered about that simple premise.

Hitech has always said that this is a GAME using WWII type equipment. Its the equipment that they try to make as realistic as possible. Many things are "adjusted" for game playablity. If it was to strive for realism for everything we would be messing with engine management and so much more.
