Title: noob questions
Post by: hawker238 on February 09, 2004, 09:05:31 PM

Why does it sound like you're shooting more in the HO aspect of F3 than the 6 aspect?

Why did they include the LVTA4 if its worthless junk?

What's a "macro"?

macros are typically, kill macros.  you shoot someone down, then hit a button you have a macro assigned to and it writes a message on Ch1, for example, i have a message assigned to one of my joystick buttons, i shoot someone down(ok dont laugh) and on CH1 you see
"Whoops, you dropped the soap"  
new line here(2 line kill macro)
"You have been violated by "

but, most of AH community frowns on this kinda behavior, so is rarely seen.  it was a common occurence in AW.

LVT4 is an awesome machine. Just don't expect it to stand up to tanks.

For sneaking ashore porking port/city/field before the enemy realises there is a problem there is nothing better.

Also, the enemy can't tell the diff between the 4 & the 2 with troops. SO a couple of 4's upped along with the troops gives em a bit more firepower. Yet looks like just more lvt2's.

Best iMO use is to launch from the CV. Never start your engine, stay in the water, hull down. Much tougher to kill that way.

Jump to that main gun & start lobbing in shells. Acks, fuel, whatever you like to hit.
Including planes takeing off.
