Straffo,
When was the last time?
You do know that games get patched, right?
Might be fixed since your last time.
Well, I still don't hear evidence of it being the Pak 36
Quite good hit from your friend if he killed Pak 36 with R35 at 800 meters.. hehe..
It's cannon sucks, needs direct hit and MG in WWIIOL doesn't effect that far.
I feel AH and IL2 flight model alot different from each other..
What I've heard, they're giving new sight for 25mm..
You see.. games do get updated
Vulcan,
For some people 100 meter looks like long distance, but at that distance it is still good chance to get hit by Luger and even killed.
I've talked to couple Luger owners and they can hit smaller than man sized target at 100 meters
... and let's remember that in games we do have better accuracy than in real life.
We learn from mistakes and we have time to learn over mistakes, unlike in real life. (plus we dont have to really worry about dying)
I'm not waving any flag, it's just stupid when people makes poor and even false arguments of a game.
So yes, I do jump into discussions.. WWIIOL isn't that poor game and it does not deserve certain silly arguments.
People puts it down with what most silliest and false arguments and even promotes AH over it, while forgetting many of the silly issues in AH... whats up with that?
AH fanbois?
Obviously use of common sense and fairness isn't allowed anymore - you'll be accused as fanboy and what ever..
People just can't act objectively anymore.I'm so tired of double stantards..
People blames game A for even tiny issues and ridiculously doesn't mind any bad of issues in the game B, which with they seem to compare the game A.
Then when someone comes in and says something against unjustified accusations on game A, hes called fanboy, in insultive manner.
What does that make the person calling the other a fanboy because of that? a fanboy of the game B?
Wotan,
I care nothing about the airwar in wwwiiol but come on, 110 is the plane of choice for the lw in the battle of france? pistols are the weapon of choice by inf? grenades with their screwed up hit cone explode on impact and kill everyone in a tank? guys can climb underneath a tank and some how shoot the crew?
but you do still play AH, which in .50 caliber is rather close to 20mm, .50 caliber kills tanks, Hispano is from another planet compared to MG151/20, 75mm is quite sucky, slats operation isnt modelled, game where bomber guns were for a long time shooting through fuselage (only recently fixed!)....
I don't bother making up the grand list, but that for what came quickly up to my mind...
For some reason you seem to have some favorable bias over one games bugs and negative over another games ...
Whats up with that?-)
Obviously with the planes theres two choices for LW: Bf110 and Bf109, which of the latter one is restricted.
So there will be alot 110s, which wasnt really that bad as many thinks - you can ask about that from anyone who knows the Bf110, problem was that it's bad reputation came from BoB where it was misused to escort, which it definately didn't fit for.
It wasn't excellent, but it wasn't either crap - it was competitive when let to fight on it's strenght.
I don't either think the pistol is that widely used... mostly at close ranges under 100 meters which I see no problem with.
Grenade killing tanks is a bug, but it was left as it is to reflect the 'multiple ways' of infantry killing the tank and even so, you can't guarantee to kill a tank with even multiple grenades.
So thats all right with me, since theres also many times more tanks over the inf than in real life - in real life there that one inf lobbing grenades on your tank, would be closer to 100 troops.
I've had no problem with infantry so far.. I just use tank smartly and use teamwork - problem is that people thinks tanks are supposed to die only against satchel, AT-rifles, rocket launchers and molotovs...
In real life, lone tank rushing near enemy infantry without support, was a dead tank... in WWIIOL tankers life is much better.
Dinger,
Yes, but not so easily.. just like those trees tend to kill tanks on touch in AH.
AKswulfe,
Difference between AH and WWIIOL development is that theres no expectations put on AH and then valued by that.
Heck.. planes doing the main work of capturing the ground? give me a break
but no.. generally nobody minds that bad.... why? since thats how it is, there has been no expectations on 'how' it should work, it is accepted as a made rule.
Kieran,
but CRS is trying to fix those tank clippings.. so I don't understand what is the point of the argument.
What I know of, most of the tank clipping is fixed and possible ones will be fixed too.
Theres been lots of exploits and bugs in AH too, which have been fixed.. some has stayed longer, some less.
You're pretty much giving double stantards for game developtment here.
