I just don't get this?

"I'm fully aware of the capabilities of the LaGG series of fighters. It is my opinion however (supported by data and history) that the BF's and FW's were an equal match.

"
Well we definatly need to see that data. Cause I for one am sick of all the LA7s in the Main Arena. If you have numbers that make the 109g6 and 190A series supperior or equel to the La7 that would be welcome by most of us I think.

"It may be possible for me to have a chat to some of the key figures at WB HQ. I may well be able to provide some pointers / tips for Hitech?
"
Well I am sure he would appreciate it. If you could get some of the secrets of the iner workings of the game maybe he could change AH to be as good as Warbirds. Dont get in trouble over this though!

"I have never flown a warbird personally however my grandfather was a maintenance technician with 10./JG 2 (Bf 109F-4's.) 1942.
So obviously I know quite a bit more then mere computer flight sim enthusiasts.  
"

Well that was obvios from your first post.
I have always had my suspicions about how much cooling was on the Alied planes as well. I think maybe since the developers are American they just want the americans to win the war or something and they gave the Allied aircraft too much coolant or something to give them an unfair advantage. Those of us who really love this game and want it to be as fun as its competitors appreciate your imput to improve it. I am sure that HT and Pyro do as well. You could maybe review all the 3d models and send any critiques to Nate and Superfly the two model builders for the game.
Or just post them here!

Heh heh...so lemme get this straight.  You know all about flight simz and stuff and you know all about the reality of how the 109's were the greatest thing in real life and then you ask to have "forward bullet deflection."  Hmmm...so I guess that means that nobody in real life was ever shot down by a head-on shot, huh?  Whatever dude....

As far as one of your other statements goes...if you would even bother to look around a little on HTC website, you can find all kinds of info about scenarios and events that are run all the time.  

But I guess you arent interested in all that....you just want to come here and stir up trouble.

I missed this the first time round.

Someone ask this genius how I can make a post with a donkey pic in it, then; log out, re-log, change my UBB "persona", write a couple of hundred word post...all in less then 3 minutes?

 :rolleyes:

Have you ever thought that some people like to give their impression of the game after they try it out for the first time?
No?
Well, welcome to the concept of "not everyone shares your opinions".  ;)

Raub's picture nails this thread.

But he forgot the little sign in front:

"Please don't feed the trolls."

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

HT the developer of this game is just a web page developer compared to the guy who programmed Warbirds. He knows it and we know it. He does the best he can walking in the footsteps of the genius who developed Warbirds.
---------------------------------------------

It may be possible for me to have a chat to some of the key figures at WB HQ. I may well be able to provide some pointers / tips for Hitech?


---------------------------------------------
The game will only improve to a point where it is playable with the contribution of experts like yourself.
---------------------------------------------

I agree, its good to see there are people who have the capability to discuss rather then confront. Thank You.


Man this is just too funny to be true     :)

I seriously do not believe anybody could be this dumb     :)

Just has to be a Troll.

I'm still laughing at the thought of someone flying around with the map blocking his view.  This is the most blatant troll yet.

'my grandfather was a mechanic so i obviously know more about warbirds than a mere flight simmer'   rofl.

Toady has it spot on.

Who's the bigger fool? The fool? Or the fool who follows the fool?

 :cool:

Even though I never had the intention of trolling in my first post I did, after all the negative feed back I got I made it my mission to get a reaction from you people. I was laughing my arse off, literally!    :D
God, I wish everyone was so gullible, I'd be Bill Gates by now!  :p

I'm sure Pyemia did the same. You people don't realise you're easy and tempting targets for trolls by your arrogant and unrespectful attitudes.

Perhaps if you have nothing constructive to say, you should'nt say anything at all.  I have not lowered myself to a level where I have begun to call people names.

I really do not understand the confrontational and belittling attitudes i'm witnessing.  It seems obvious that new people and their ideas are not welcome here.  

If you like i'll go back to WW2OL and spend my money there?  Just say the word.  Just remember, as Pongo stated earlier, its people like me who can make this game really shine!!!!

Pyemia, youre right. I'd like you to go back to WW2OL because it seems your computer can't handle the fps hit of AH. Besides, it looks like you didn't like the game anyway so youre better off there.

Pyemia.
These people who are abusing us newcomers just for expressing our views don't realise they are playing with matches inside their own paper castle.

You're lucky. At least you have a choice of playing WW2Online. I don't. Saying that, I've been reading the WW2Online forums since June and they don't seem so hostile to me.

People on here really give me the impression they are grumpy, big-headed has-beens. They really give this otherwise good game a negative image.

I have quite thick skin, so when they insult me, I just find it amusing. Don't take it personal and remember that most people who resort to insults are just insecure.
