present in AH. Not lacks in modeling nor bugs, just 100% nonsenses:

1 - Panzers crashing with trees and exploding ...
2 - GVs and PTs spawning in the same exact point over'n over.
3 - Runaway spawn points leading to unclimbable hills.
4 - Enemy CV groups in front of your fields and no sign at all in the clipboard map.
5 - Add yours.

So, Mando.... I wonder what kinda job you have, where everything is 110% finished while you're still working on it.

If you get the salary that goes with it... I'm there.

Saw, this is not a whine neither a negative critic, just a list of little things, perhaps very easy to fix and perhaps forgotten in the time.

Ya see the idea is to go around the trees.  Just another aspect to gameplay.  Gives ya something else to think about rather than pulverising everything in sight.

And why is that a problem?

Find somewhere else to take off then.  If I cannot climb a hill I go around.  Again part of the game play IMHO.  EVer play chicken with a hill, try it its fun and scary:)

Since when did enemy CV's hang big signs out when the went into battle?   C'mon MANDOBLE I personally like some of these 'features', and I guess some others do too.

How about stopping them if crashing?

2 - GVs and PTs spawning in the same exact point over'n over.
This is a problem cause when that spawn point is located, you simply need to put a panzer close enough aiming there and killing all and every enemy spawning there.

4 - Enemy CV groups in front of your fields and no sign at all in the clipboard map.
Gremlin, I'm talking about CVs very close to your base, clearly visible and into coastal battery range. But no sign of that in the map, you need to be at that field and locate visualy the group.

Mandoble,

I know thats what you mean.  Surely you don't seriously expect the location of enemy CV's to be shown on the map:confused: .

Obviously if the coastal batteries and field can see the CV then it's location is no longer secret, but can you imagine the mess that would follow an NME cv showing up on the map, it would not be a pretty sight and would make CV's toothless as an offensive force.  Every dweeb who had enough skill to get a TBM off the ground would be killshootering themselves to get to it.

I understand what your saying but personally, I prefer it like it is.



Grem.

Here my 2 cents:

1) its true, instant death should not be caused by trees.

2) GVs dont exactly spawn the same point, not long ago we got spawn areas, now GVs will and do spawn around the spawn point in a circle up to 500 yrds.

3) Runway spawn points? i think you mean were planes start, if yes, i agree. Some fields in Baltic & Mindanao are placed so bad, that you can barely take-off save (impossible for any buff) and landing is even more difficult, at least as long as you want to use the runway

4) no problem with that, once they try to bring in planes or GVs they will be on sector dar, and if they so close to coast, the CV will be easy meat


and finally
5) NIKKI's ;)

I think he was referring to spawn points for Vehicles.

I've had that happen, where you jump in a vehicle, and you're stuck there because there are unclimable hills all around you.  ('till I learned to go in reverse)

Or mebbe not (Jes noticed the 'Runaway' adjective...runway typo? Or some kinda Danish slang?)
