Gun Jam Poll

[Pepino]

Following with Keassa post, I think it is worth to open a side thread.

Well, the whole issue is pretty much 2 sided. All kind of reasons have been given for the yes/no.

It is a fact that Gun Jams existed, whatever the reasons.

Now, I suggest a mean to know how many of us are for/against this being modelled.

Please answer (if you want) yes or no.

My particular vote is  Yes

P.S.: Recruiting period for counters/recounters/re-re-counters open from now  

Cheers,

Pepe

My particular vote is No

<edit> well I vote yes if it's linked to the behaviour of the player (spray & pray + high G-forces come to mind)
But I'll never accept random failures.

[Naso]

My vote is yes !!

[Ripsnort]

Mark me as 'either', since I adapt to any given situation.

[scout]

Not random jams without player doing something 'wrong'.

If guns jammed because of G-forces thats fine.

[RAM]

No doubt about my vote: YES

[Pepino]

There's only 4 counties down there that you may find the type of 'help' you ask for ...

Yes, but no random failures please, unless historically justifiable for the gun type.

Same goes for other system failures, especially engine overheating!!

gun failing due to burning out barrels etc.. YES

RANDOM failure  -> Hell NO !! (there's enough random conection hickups, mass dumps, lost packets, puter reboots etc.)

Duck, you do realize that the Browning .50 MG was much more prone to burning out its barrels, than the hispano 20mm?

Can't do it. Theres not enough ammo per gun in any plane to burn the barrels out. Cuase a stopage mabey but not melt or torche the barrel. stopage is an issue with maintance lubercation cleaning and proper laoding of a weapon. (hell we used to put condoms over the barrals of some of our guns in desert storm). now if you land and reload really fast take off and start firing mabey. fly to high and you might freeze the guns.

The whole issue has me mixxed. absolutley no on random. but will HTC be able to easily model G forces tempature over firing (constant not burst) and maintance as well as ammo quality for a given country (remember there are strat targets), Ide say yes if they can then go for it. I think it would be a nice addition to the game model provided it is done right. that means you really have to be abusing your guns and your plane to cuase a malfuntion.

TAC and RAM shut up I don't want to hear it! I know what I said but Iam refuring to all guns not just hispano's or M2s.

Mayhem, this thread is intended as a poll. No flowers, no lyrics. Everybody knows the reasons for and against. Please keep it simple. (Ideally yes or no, but some elaboration maybe needed).

Thks,

Pepe

[edit] Ideally, It would serve the purpose of giving a table of #yes (absolutely), #yes (only mismanagement) and #no. Just to know the figures.[/edit]
