m3 without troops.. you missed the point

[Scca]

At least tell them how to use the rockets. I just tested them on a range, level ground to the target.

23 degree rockets - 1000yds.
45 degree rockets - 2250yds.

You can only fire them from the drivers seat. Zoom 100%, the aimpoint is the top of the first black band from the bottom of the pole seen through the drivers window. At 1000yds the rockets spread about 20-30ft. At 2250yds the rockets can spread up to 120ft. Rockets will hit short and long of the range given somewhat, they are not very accurate.

The distance changes a bunch if moving forward or backward. Do test yourself off line.

As you can see there are quite a few players not happy with this move...... so it would be nice for the people we pay a subscription to to explain why this move.......really. as customers I think we would like to know

Pretty much your only right as a paying customer is you can leave.  You should learn some diplomacy.

Sorry, I don't think he's wrong on this, and I don't feel his request is out

4 Jeep are WAY faster than 1 m3 anyways....     JUst try to recruit jeep jockeys though... 

Not really - I find a jeep with to be especially useful when trying to take a vbase.  First off it gives you a fast scout that is hard to hit and easy to hide so you can run right up close to the vbase and let your GV buddies know what is coming out of the VH and where it is going.  A couple of boxes of vehicle supplies go a long way towards keeping your side's Wirbles going in the face of enemy air cover as well.  If you want some real fun, sneak onto the enemy vbase and hide out in the storch hanger - wack some storches, and the .50 cal on your jeep is perfectly adequate for killing guns if you are careful.

Anybody ever hit a tank with them?  Do any damage??

Removing the troops from the M3 is simply a bad idea.

[Flayed1]

I for one am finding it interesting. I've used the 251 a few times back in AH2 but usually the M3 gets the attention due to it being a lil faster and as far as I can tell from the base taking efforts today. that is what people were most concerned with, the all mighty SPEED.   While I can agree that speed is a major factor when taking a base I did find the armor on the SK to be quite fun as plane after plane strafed me with little other effect than to kill my poor gunners. Bombs and rockets are another story of course. 
  I also found it interesting that many people had no clue what the SK was called or that it could even carry troops. Guys just kept telling each other to get the German thing or some such lol. 
  The worst thing I find about it is the gun sights. You can't see a thing, and I find it better to page up and lock all view angles above the armor and do my best with the tracers.
 One other thing that may be a lil bug.  I don't know how low slung the bumper is on this thing but it won't drive over the sidewalks in town. Maybe a collision box need to be tweaked?

 Anyway I really don't see what all the fuss is about and personally find it fun to try and adapt to a new situation and drive something that usually gets covered in dust in the hanger.
   <S> all and see you in the air or on the ground as the case may be.

Biggest impact I see is reducing the chance of the "1 man base take/sneak".

[Randy1]

Wow!  I really enjoyed the improved air to air combat last night since the deleting of the m3 troops.  We Rooks topped the Bish base and shot them down as they took off.  An hour later they come to our base and shot us as we took off.  You air combat whiners are right.  Your K/D goes nothing but up. 

The excitement level? 

The same as a warm, brown turd slapping the water of your favorite, white, porcelain receptor.

Your use of the word "whiners" is highly ironic.

You seem to be pretty confused about the whole topic in general.

The push was to remove supplies from m3s.. not troops.  You vulched last night?  Because no troops were available in a m3?  Was the c47 shop closed?  LVT?

YOU seem like the kind of guy that will complain about anything, regardless if it carries any legit facts.

Im sure hitech is running a few weeks of test with troops disabled in m3s, then a few weeks of it with just supplies disabled to see where the unbalance is with its use

You will likely still whine.. because you dont see a problem with how huge the % of use of the m3 in the melee arena really is.

I don't complain often but somebody needs to explain the logic behind this M3 ( no troops) idea. As of today nothing from HT, that I've hear of, as to why they decided to try this "experiment" as someone called it. Yes this Sim is theirs to do with what they want, but need I remind them WHO PAYS THE BILLS TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN??   

We do, the loyal Aces High members, which is comprised of what 300 total? The Steam "experiment" sure turned out to be a flop, as the Xbox generation want immediate satisfaction and you cannot learn this Sim in 2 weeks.

So be careful and remember who your customers are, or this Sim will be going the way of Air Warriors.

Let's see what kind of answer he gets then.

The SdKfz 251 seems to do the same tasks, except the radio channels suck -- nothing but Wagner.
