"I will never hand over my credit card number to CRS until I am 100% sure- their bookkeeping is not reputed to be all that clear"

Dont. I cancelled my account with them 1 month after they went pay for play... and last month I was cleaning house, was about to uninstal WW2OL, decided to try and run it in offline mode, and HELLO. My account was still active.

Sure enough, check bank statements... its there. Every month billed.

Verily pissed off, sent e-mail to CRS.. didnt hear from them until I spammed their ww2olmail system. Got a "Warning" of course , but also got a response.

Now the little SOB's say they cant refund because I never cancelled the account.. yada yada ... so I instantly went to my bank and told them to stop any payments to playnet. Wooo this month I get a message that my account was terminated because my bank account had rejected paying them. SO, the toejams even then tried to take ANOTHER payment even after all that.

Sorry, those thiefs aint getting a penny from me, not even if they *snork* ever *cough* deliver *AJHAHAHAHAH* on their "product".

Jesus Tac, I resubscribed last month to see if any progress had been made! Now how do I go about unsubscribing. If I request a new credit card, will that cancel the subscription - or will I have to request a barrier on playnet taking money from my account?

I will be more likely playing WWIIOL than AH, I don't need to arque, thats how it is.
WWIIOL offers more diversity and you don't fight for the airfields, but for towns, which doesn't each one have airfield.
What comes to AH and WWIIOL FM, I wouldn't blindly go with AH's FM either, since AH has its own biasement level in flight models.

I haven't seen many bugs that makes LW planes perform better, but I've seen loads of bugs in allied planes that makes them perform better, while having opposite for LW.

but everyone believes what he believes in...
my belief is this.

Fishu, not talking about bias in FM, talking about glaring omissions. I also am not comparing to AH, WB, FA3, or any other sim. Just talking about WWIIOL.

FWIW, I find the WWIIOL planes pretty much equal, with the exception of the Blenheim. Any fighter should be able to go out, kill, and return alive no matter the odds- Stuka included.

There are gameplay issues that are silly beyond all reason. Domino capping. Fairmile invasions of England. Caps behind supply lines. Wall clipping. You can't attribute all this to "flaws in the code". It wouldn't bother me so much, but hey, this is supposed to be "real".

I played both sides. I started with the Axis (I usually do in any game), but soon saw the Allies getting rolled all the time. I switched to Allies and got another view. No AA for Allies, but AA for Germans? Opel vs. Bedford? Forget the tanks; we all know this game is about getting troops in the village, and the Bedford won't do it.

This is where an Axis player steps up and says, "You guys are just whining, we're just smarter, you don't talk, blah blah, blah..."

The resets are 25:1 in favor of Axis. Yup, you bet, the Allies just get the dumb players who don't know how to use the weapons. No chance it could be game design. Nope, no chance.

Guys I play both WW2ol and AH

I posted this in off topic for a reason, in the hopes yes to get some more people over to take a look and possibly check it out after ver:1.60 is released.

My intention is not to steal players from AH as I pay to play AH, but let peole know ww2ol isnt as bad as people say and soon it will be even better..

no offense was meant and being as this is the off topic forum i thought it would be appropriote to post here

did not intend to offend anyone

thanks

Samm, there is nothing wrong with posting here about it. Don't take what I say to be anything against you. I don't mind discussing the game with you or anyone, and hey, if they really do fix the issues that bug me most, who knows?

Oh it's outstanding allright .

Samm-

sorry, just contracting a long nick.

Sikboy-
Hey, if someone wants to say how great it is, someone needs to balance it with some of the realities. It may be fun, but it ain't great. 'Course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. My problem is never with a company who continues to develop. My problem is with flawed game design and game-stopping coding flaws that were first denied, then grudgingly admitted. The player base is finally getting wise to it.

Taken past hype, empty promises and billing problems bordering on criminal one could easily imagine how one of the slickmeisters, DocHoom or Datch, would spin a p.o.s. basket case automobile just to get it sold and the bucks in thier coffers...

"Guaranteed low estimated miles! Drives like newwhen parked! Handles like a cream puffsitting in your driveway! Only driven on Sundays by a little old lady to churchin Oklahoma and backto Portland Maine/SIZE]! Full ONE YEAR expired last month warranty!! monopolyMoney BACK guarantee!"

Honestly. Would any of you buy a used car from anyone at Playnet/CRS? eh, heh heh. Yeah. Fugg no. Me neither.

So some are gullible enough to give them thier credit card for what I still think is a smoldering horse carcass? Well good God this could work out well for all of us. I've got lots of stuff to help make thier living easier, bank accounts richer as well as make them more handsome, studly and succesfull with girls!! I guarantee it!!! And if the first few tries fail then don't give up! Just keep sending me money as I'm sure one of these installments will be the ONE to work for you! (Free 90mpg carberator for your auto with each new account. If ordered before midnight May 12th.)

Yep, they can do what the want to the extent that the operators of this forum allow. And likewise, I can point out when the contradict themselves in a single sentance. It just struck me as funny that someone would say that they don't need to argue, but then go directly into advancing their argument.

I play ww2 im not 100% satisfide with the game eather
but i do find the ground stuff a little entertaing...shur
theres still lots of problums in the game tho not near
bad when it first started. it has a ways to go but as
this is the first game to try to play on such a large
scale i think it will eventualy be a big one or it will bust

i like the idea of the game hell one or two good peaple
can turn the tied of a battle if they work togeather

its not perfect but iv not found one that is ...yet
i play it as something different to do .. biggest complant i have is peaple working togeather ... but hell thats every where..heheh ..... Flying no argument there needs work

if they want more good pilots to fly ther they have to get on the ball .. i can still fly the game well not like i like to but i can still get 4 or 5 kills in the game a sortie in the hurri but .. to tell the truth i like the ground stuff .. but that just gives me a break from flying heheheh tho thats hard to do >> its in me blood to fly

it comes down to this its your personal preferance you like or you don't im not here to promote it in any way but ill discuss it with anyone as as i do AH....simple as that

and yes there customer service sucks >>> no way ill aruge that 1 i agree with that 100% ....... they do need lessions in that area big time last time i had a problum with en took better the 3 weeks to get a relply here in AH we get same day or better :)ya just cant beat that customer service keeps us all here

slapping each other around over some other game
is stupid >>>> my thoughts on that <<<<

PS if i misspelled any words so be i don't care

The questions I have are:

1. Can you still clip through walls?
2. Can tank guns still be disabled with MG fire easier than tank gun fire?
3. Can you still shoot through walls?
4. Can two 7.9mm MGs still kill a tank through its armor?

As you might guess, these are show-stoppers for me. The silly Fairmile to England invasion crap is, well, crap, but at least that isn't something really broken. Same with capping behind supply lines.
