You know it struck me while punting a squad recruiting post in the Squadron AH BB that most of the players looking there are MA flyers.
I wish the CT had its own BB system, that was completely seperate from the rest of the AH BB. Too me its a different sim, I play AH:CT as it were.
Its also frustrating talking to some about SEA events, same reason, the BB is dominated by all things MA.
Perhaps when AH:TOD comes put we can have a seperate home.
-
Does seem that way at times doesn't it?
Keep the Faith Baby! We CT types that know the "TRUE" path must show the other misguided peons the error of their ways. :D
Think if we could show them the "Experence" of flying missions with your squadron in the CT alot of them would convert. Maybe the Mission oriented AH2 will bring more our way.
880!

...and they all said AMEM!

really the only difference i see bewtween the ma and CT is limited plane set. and the People with blue text poping in from time to time.
-
A few more forum options would be a nice start, like our own recruiting forum ect.

Keep looking Skull, it will come to you.

Think we should "Officially" ask Skuzzy to set us a seperate recruiting forum for the CT at least.
Sure would cut alot of confusion.

I said it before and I say it again :
- I love historical match-ups and am hugely in favour of a rolling plane set.
- I think that flying in the CT is more simulation, flying in the MA is more a game.
BUT, yesterday I had a few hours to play, logged on and found 1 (one) person in the CT. That's why I don't play there. Not enough Europeans interested?

Thats why you must spread the truth. Start with all the Dutchmen, and move South, East, and West, from there. It's up to you to save Europe from the capture the flag madness of MA.;)
By the way my family is Dutch, last name Vandeventer. My ancestors were probably run out of Deventer Holland for going over the limit fishing. I got a couple of cousins that keep the family name in lights with the game wardens. Damn poachers.:rolleyes:

It's hard enough to make people understand what AH actually is and why I want to play it. Only two of my friends share the aviation virus, one of them plays IL2 but is not willing to play on-line and the other one hasn't got the money to buy a halfway decent computer.
-
Ok, Let's start our own computer company and all computers come with AH already loaded. Hell, we could even throw in a cheapo joystick. I got a bunch of X45's in my closet.:D

I always kinda suspected that Bear76 was Bill Gates.

Don't pull a muscle patting yourselves on the back.

Not a problem Furious, we in the CT also fully believe in a full regiment of warmups and stretches before engaging in physical activity. :)
-
And who the hell's this "Furious" chick? :D
-
Whats this MA thing people keep talking about? Is it some kind of rash?

MA still has the fuel porking issues, which the CT has, still has gang bangs, which the CT has, still has the whining (of which i do 75% of in the CT)
Ahh i see the light!
no one whines about maps.:confused:

Look, its one of those "cool" MA types.

Hell, Arlo if I was Bill Gates I would have bought HiTech and made you the Social Director.:D

Uh oh. This thread is making me look bad. I think I would've put up my right eyetooth against anybody who said the CTers were elitists.
Its a big tent, fellas. Lots of nooks and crannys but never forget we're all under the same roof.
:aok
-
elitists? naw, they just have an inferiority complex.
they can't handle the MA, yanno... too skeeeery.
;)

Ok ... now the Shane chick I know. :D

Or you could do something really creative like putting:
Combat Theater Squadron "Aces of the Bases" now recruiting!
in the subject line.
Or would that be too confusing?
-
lol Myelo

Hey Arlo, You know this "Toad" Chick? :D
-
I can easily understand all this reference to chicks in this CT forum.
After all, people relate to themselves, right?
And having your own lip outlines perfectly reproduced on your personal handmirrors in Fantastic Fuchsia......... must be exhilarating for you.
And, like Warren said..... your hair is perfect.
-
Another of the "Peanut Gallery" heard from.
Now be a good boy and Hop back to the MA where you can fly your ME-262's and Tempest's constantly.

How boring is your little MA that you're trolling the CT boards? Rooks reset you again and you're killing time till the terain changes?

I once got so drunk I woke up with a chick that looked like a toad. "We thought you was a toad!"
That count? :D

You girls are certainly touchy today!
Let's see..... how often do I have to fly in the CT to be allowed to check in and see what's up?
I mean every once in a while, there's an interesting matchup in the CT and I like to participate. Is that allowed or is there some kind of beauty contest you have to win first?
And if some of you choose to play "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" in a thread, why wouldn't it be amusing to others?
Some of you opened the doors for the sneak peek into the Barbie Playhouse; guess you shoulda kept the shades drawn. ;)
The idea that the CT needs it's own BBS is laughable. It's nothing special; it's just another aspect of the AH game. The major feature is "historical matchups" which of course usually aren't. Because HT just won't give us every single possible variant of every single plane right away yesterday. Wah. So, we have Peggys where Bettys should be. Very historical. Oh, did I forget somewhat limited radar and icons? Whooo-hooooo! Now THAT'S something major in which to take pride. Doesn't seem to keep anyone from getting kills though does it? Of course, the initial radar settings have been greatly relaxed because there's just dang few folks that want to drill around looking for a fight. Might be because so many folks also have a real life and their gaming time is somewhat limited.
There's your great big huge set of differences that make this so "special". This requires a separate BBS?
AH General Discussion forum: 315921 posts
Combat Theater forum: 20487
You need your own BBS for THAT amount of traffic? Not.
Oh, yeah.
Recruiting? What, too tough to put "COMBAT THEATER SQUAD" into your recruiting announcements? That thread isn't so busy that it would disappear into the 2nd page all that fast.
Now, I'm sure it's quite upsetting when other "chicks" (who threw that out first?) come in her and tell you that you have runs in your pantyhose. Life's tough sometimes.
I'll drop by again sometime to see if there's any interesting setups in the works. Ta-ta.
Oh, btw Jester. I think you'll find I favor the early war stuff in the MA. The F4F is my favorite. I do stretch into the C205 era though too. I find Jets (well, all the perk planes in that silly system) are best for spawning at a capped field and counting how many guys auger trying to vulch me.
Say....... could you guys list the "manly" planes for me? I'd really appreciate that. Maybe I could even get a key to the CT Barbie treehouse if I fly them enough in the MA?
:rofl

Excuse me "Mr. WOT." Who's touching what? Errr ... I mean ... who's being touchy? :lol

Be careful Arlo, you make her mad and she will hit you with her Purse! :rofl

For the record........
REAL men fly CARRIER PLANES !
If it ain't got a "HOOK" it ain't worth flying. :aok

Hmm..... guess I'm already a REAL MAN then.
Here's the last tour I did any appreciable flying:

Hey, Jes.. check your compact. Your lipstick is smeared.

I am glad to have anybody from the MA I can learn something from no matter what they fly. Urchin and Shane both taught me things this week, and they probably didnt know they were doing it. The "Plant-the-flag-fuel-porking-suicide-augertards" can stay in the MA, I already know how to do that. :D
-
I welcome everyone from the MA ... skilled or unskilled ... new player or vet. Drawing more players across to the CT from the MA was the reasoning behind the banner campaign. And if they fly both - all the better. When they fly in the MA (and I do, occasionally myself) they can regale their MA squadmates, friends and opponents with tales of all the fun they're having in the CT as well.
Besides ... if they're good dogfighters it'll help make up for any planeset "balance deficiencies." If they're new players ... it'll help keep my score from bottoming out. No wait ... I mean .... my stats .... errr .... no wait ....
Numbers in the CT seems like a good thing to me.
Next on the agenda should be coming up with an effective promotional campaign to boost non-prime-time CT numbers. A Euro/Asiatic campaign ... so to speak.
-
Of course I didnt mean to say that I only wanted skilled MA players, but that is what we were scufflin about above so thats why I said that.
-
I dont recall saying anything about MA being bad or MA players being bad, or target any group for ridicule. I just said it would be easier for those of us that focus on the CT to have a place to recruit, and maybe also for SEA events. Im not sure whats so offensive about that.
I wont bother responding to your points in detail, because its just a rant.
"You girls are certainly touchy today!"
Really, US huh?
Later.
p.s. Players that post their own stats might as well have a tatoo saying "I crave attention".
-
No Squire, you didn't belittle the MA or spritz the "Elitism" perfume around.
In response to your post, I just pointed out that there is a place for Squad Recruiting already. Squads for the MA, Squads for the CT, Squads for both. All one needs to do is specify "CT Squad" in the subject line and you've identified your target audience. No need for a special forum at all.
Same for a separate BBS which was also mentioned. The CT Forum more than adequately covers that requirement.
As for stats...... yah, I'm really a stat guy. Mine aren't much, are they? But then I fly to have fun. Just pointing out to Jester, who seems to think I'm a "chick" and not a "real man" that I already mostly fly planes with a hook. Have for a long time. In fact, that's one of the things that will bring me to the CT.
And as for touchy...... reread the thread and check the response to Furious. I think it's pretty clear who's egos are tender.
Look, I hate to be the one to bring the news but the CT is a very minor sideshow in AH. I'll be suprised if it exists a year after the intro of AH2: TOD. Real suprised.
I'll miss the F4F v Zeke matchups the most but maybe they'll have a Pacific TOD that's worth doing. You never know.

Dunno .... you seem awful verbose and stuff for someone who ain't got alot of estrogine production goin' on. :D
-
Im waiting anxiously for AH:TOD, and if it replaces the CT, fine by me. I have no brand loyalty, I go where I can get a "WW2" fix. The CT is a sideshow, we all know that, thats one of the things we are trying to address.
Snapshots and other SEA events are a sideshow too, but the flying there is the best in AH, imho, and not beacuse of anybodys "better" skill that goes there.

Oh no! What ever will we do? Arlo make him stop!!!

Your the one with ego issues you frickn' tool. Your silly posts are some of the most pathetic crap Ive seen on theses boards. Did you even read what you wrote? I dont know if its funny or sad that you actually think you're "somebody" and you're putting the CT'ers in there place. Post some more "stats" for us cool guy. Man what a sissy.
-
Personally I've never understood where people get this MA vs. CT mentality from, either side. Both arenas have something to offer, both arenas have frustrated me for various reasons. They are just two different aspects to which is essentially the same experience.
The only thing I can think of that keeps me from seeing some of the more "dweeby" behavior that is more common in the MA is the CT as a whole is a smaller community. It reminds me of the MA back in the beta days, though with maybe a few more... uhh... characters shall we say? :) To me the MA's biggest assest is also it's greatest liability, the horde.
As for my response to Furious' orginal post, I'm sure he knows it was meant in good fun (I hope he does at least) I give him crap on a nightly basis when I see him in the MA. We're just a couple of smartasses poking fun at people and each other no harm meant I'm sure.
Once again I've rambled and if anyone is still reading this and actually cares what I have to say, I'm impressed. :)

Verbosity in praise of Barbie is no vice!

OK, I apologize for interrupting your CT circle jerk.
