Pretty much in there as gamebreakers for ******* who seriously can't fight... even the Spitfire and La7 are to "hard" for them.. so they hold the trigger down for 5 or 6 minutes while aiming into a fight within a sector of a CV and get some kills.
Truly amazing bull****.
For chrissakes, I thought this was supposed to be a FLYING game, not a ****ing AAA simulator for numb ****s to ****ty to even master the easymode planes.

lol :D

hehe,
"For chrissakes, I thought this was supposed to be a FLYING game"
what gave you that idea?

Rut-Roh ... somebody got smoked by a 5 incher (maybe more than once) while engaged in a good dogfight ?

:( All things change

I agree totally Urchin and would like to add that it sucks that we can't get kills on them. If you take out their gun or their ship you should get kill(s) for it. Nor should they get to land their kills if they die. The gunner thing is one of the worst things about the game IMO. That and the AI's magically targetted heavy AA.

:lol

This game has taken to pandering chicken****s in a HUGE way.. I mean.. the ****ing 5 inch guns have basically auto-aim (the icon gives you the range, the GUN tells you the range you are aiming), kill on a near miss.. you don't even have to be able to HIT with the thing. Just get within 100 yards or so, instakill.
Bu.. Bu.. But they are only used to PROTECT the CV!! Bull****. at least 1/4 of the kills of the pussack is on fighters that are just fighting other fighters.
I understand that not everyone is going to be any good at this game. HT makes it easy enough.. you've got the one hit kill flak***** (although you at least have to HIT with that), the one hit kill manned ack (again.. you have to HIT).. the 5 inch gun takes pandering to sissies a bit over the top for my tastes.
Either take away the autoaim or make it so you actually have to HIT with the ****ing thing, not merely get within 100 yards.
-
Wonder if they can apply kill shooter to the 5" guns? Maybe that will let 'em pick off the high buffs but not fire into a furball.
Not suggesting that the CV would sink from KS, but maybe the gunner's turn would be up for a few minutes.

I think score actually records kills of manned ack guns (only if it's manned). At least innomi.com shows that I killed 1 ship gunner ;)

now theres a brilliant idea

Dont disagree or he will asterik you to death.

LOL 1KON

No pity party being thrown here
Rule #1 stay out of fights that are within Cv ack range unless your intent is to attack the CV itself or you are flying in support of those attacking the CV itself.
-
(shrug) Me LIKE 5-inch guns. Go boom. Many planes die. Pilots dipped in buffalo pies. Spew bad vibes. Flap again. BOOM again. Ha ha. Heap big fun.
-
Urchin your rooks sent 40+ suicides into cv. You were trying to pick offf just taking off planes you died. Game worked exactly how it shouldv'e. But I do agree that There should be no puffy ack AI only manned ack.
O wait this is one of those Games sucks unless you play my way post...........My way right way rest of you tards.........

Do you just make **** up off the top of your head or what? There was one Spitfire, one friendly and me.
The Spitfire and the friendly Spit got into a fight, the enemy Spit won. I engaged the enemy Spitfire, we got into a nice scissors then some polesmoking newb on the CV hops in a queer-ack and holds the trigger down till I blow up. We were a good ways from the CV, in any case.
If you suck to bad/don't have the balls to get in a fighter that is fine, but you should at least have to work a teensy itsy bitsy little bit to "win", not just hold down the trigger till you get lucky. That is horse**** newb coddling I guess HTC stuck in once they realized the general MA public couldn't find their own bellybutton with both hands and a candle.

Dipping my oar in the water again :D
Why ? do people who want to Furball do it near a Battle Group? and then complain about all the gunners trying to make thier life miserable.
Wake up folks, this is in part a WWII simulation styled game, with all the good and bad that goes with it and that includes those NASTY Chicken@@@@ Gunners and thier trusty 5 inch guns.
The radar ranging was available to the 5 inchers in WWII and so it is here, if you are getting your tail feathers singed repeatedly...KILL THE B)(*(( BATTLE GROUP...... or better yet have the range Icons be readable at 3 thousands yards instead of 6.
If the Furballers who aren't willing to adapt or who get so fixated on thier intended victim make the foolish descision to get into gunnery range of a Battle Group, then the same rules apply as if they did not check thier six THEY WILL GET SHOT DOWN.
Set up the killshooter on the ack guns? Then you might as well remove the guns from the Battle Group since when ever a JABO or bomber comes a calling there is always at least one friendly attempting to shoot down the bomber/JABO and guess what? The gunner gets booted and since a blind pilot with a bomb can now sink the Battle Group, there goes your Furball.
What next? I shudder to think.
-
I say make the 5 " s at airfeilds mannable ( running for hole)
-
I love the 5" guns something to do while eating, or just trying to relax:D
-
Funny how many start to relate this game to "manhood".. LOL
-
THIS 1 TIME I GOT SHOTTED DOWN BY THE tAEL GUNNR OF A BOMBR WHAT THE **** IS THS CHICKEN**** MENTALITY THIS IS DOGFITING THEN I GOTS SHOTTED DWN BY CV GUNNRS THOSE *******S JUST SHOOT AT ME AND ITS CHEAP ****ING STUFF LIKE THAT ARRRG!
**** THIS STUPID ****ING GAME ITS ****ING HURTING US ACES AND THESE NOOB ****S SHOULD ****ING PLAY EYE ELL POO

Did you have like 100 kills are something? :-/
-
RTsmegma, you ARE a foreign student, right?
-
Pretty pathetic idea, like lets make the CVs a mush target.??:rolleyes:
I think CV's are way to easy to kill as it is, and now you want to take away their primary defense?
Or was this just meant to be a whine??
Play the game as it is and learn to enjoy it, even with it's faults.
You will have a lot more fun :aok
-
They've got plenty of defense. I don't even have a problem with losers that are to scared to up in a fighter to "defend" their precious CV manning the AAA guns to actually defend their CV.
What I do have a problem with is losers that are to scared to up a fighter lobbing 1 near miss kill shells into a FIGHT that isn't taking place anywhere near their CV.
Improve the AI puffy ack so it no longer has a hardon for small planes actively manuevering, and instead goes after large, lumbering slow planes trying to drop small explosive objects on said CV.
Make the manned ack actually have to HIT to kill someone, take away the auto-aim, take away icons for fighters, or all 3.
Hell, even up the number of regular AA guns, as opposed to the 10 KM instakill guns.. then if 25 people wanted to defend their CV from suicide lancs they could... but they couldn't lob one near miss instakill shells into the fight going on 5 miles away.
I'm just tired of all this silly bull**** interfering with air to air fighting, which used to be what this game was supposed to be about. Now I guess it is a AA/GV simulator with real live players as the targets.
-
Urchin, you could have extended away from the CV, but since you didn't, you just feel victim to a lucky shot.
Look at the plus side, at least it didn't crash your computer or make you pay extra.
You DON"T have to fight near CVs, but when you're near them, theres that chance. Its like going off roading in your truck. Theres a chance you can snap a spring or blow a tire, but that happens. Its BS but hey, you were able to up again to kill right?
And I'm not a foreign student, but I will be one next summer to Ireland.
-
Hmm I rate this one about 8 out of 10.
-
It's the game, it's just a game, and a very fine one if you ask me.
Would you like to go back to the old days of lazer guided ack? I mean you flew near a CV you died. Period. No Lancs could have made a successful low alt attack on a CV.
You can get angry, or you can adapt, improvise, and overcome.
When I fly fighter, I usually avoid fights near CV's. When I defend a CV, I take a 5"gun. Sorry that I don't up a fighter at the CV to get swarmed by attackers who come in with alt. I don't up on vulched fields either. I adapt to the game rather than demand the game adapt to me.
Ack is part of the game, I hate it as much as I do GV's. But I don't tell people not to defend a field with Flack Panzers or M16's. They play their way, I play mine. I rarely attack GV's as I don't carry bombs or rockets. I don't like to JABO, but I don't call guys who JABO a less of a player than I am.
My style is that I am a fighter pilot, I consider all other planes to be targets. I fly a 190A8. I fly high, fast, and attack only when I have the advantage. Most people would find that type of flying boring. But it is how I like to play this game, and I couldn't care spit if others don't like it. In fact I kind of like being the AK "Bad Boy", have been for almost 7 years now :) I am a low-life-snake in the grass, razor-toting scumbag, and I wouldn't play any other way. But I also couldn't care less how you play. Don't listen for me on channel 200, I don't go there. :)
As I said, all other planes are targets :aok
-
All ack should kill friendlies as well as enemies. Period. If a dweeb wants to blast into a furball he should be killing everything, not just enemies. Imagine if he started wasting friendlies... he'd be PNG in two secs. AI puffy ack should not be able to fire at you if there are friendlies in the vicinity either, just as in RL.

And they shouldn't be able to. Climb to 7k lol it takes just a few more minutes. Oh wait, strat players don't like to Quake, right? LMAO. :lol

Anyone else noticed that Urchin already used up all his Wpm's ?? (Whines per month)

IRL, friendlies were often told to remain outside AA range, eg. the coastal AA belts using prox fuses against V-1's. "Diver" Tempests, P-47's, Spits etc were to remain outside the specified areas/alts at their own peril.
Keep clear of ack and you've got no problems...play in it and get swatted...tough ****

Brilliant! :aok I wish I could think of those one liners. I could have used that a few dozen times when the furballers were whining for game changes. I actually went for the wall-o-text version, thus: but I don't whine about the game itself. It's a very good game. But from the furball camp, I see whines about bombs, whines about maps, whines about suicide fuel porkers, whines about target hardness, whines about night & day, whines about defending HQ being “no fun”, whines about certain players being "timid", whines about jabo guys duffing all the FH at a field, whines about the pizza map - which deserve a category of their own... whines about HQ-radar being too "soft", and the devastating effect it has on "FUN" when the thing goes down...
...and yet you pour scorn on those who would climb above 15K to do something about it!
Yes a no-holds-barred lawless place where if it's in the game, someone will be doing it...
...and a place from which there is an inexhaustible cellar of whines from the furballers who never cease in their quest to have the game changed, and modelled in their own image.
Urchin said For chrissakes, I thought this was supposed to be a FLYING game, not a ****ing AAA simulator for numb ****s to ****ty to even master the easymode planes.
I am in negotiations with HTC to collect royalties whenever "easymode™" is used on this board. At $1 per usage, I will be very rich in 6 months!
I see stang is using RL as a justification for a game change. I always smell a rat when the furballers do that, and usually it's not far away! :lol
-
I'll vote with Urchin , it seems no-one else is ;)
sitting in those things blowing up guys who are dogfighting is definitely lame. it's a toss-up between that and spawn-camping in GV's, to be the lamest part of the game.
But as well all know, it takes all kinds.

"Truly amazing..."
Urchin! IMO the truly amazing thing is your boundless ability to be a purile whiner.
Performing a quick search on the bbs and using the words "urchin" and "whine" I get three pages of topics - and that's only going back to Aug 2001!
Did you have an empty shelf or room in your den for more awards? Not sure RUDE is giving them out anymore seeing how you and Lepaul kept hogging them.
-
I sense a disturbance in the farce.
-
Holy crap Westy! Thats amazing! Wanna know how many pages of results I got when I google'd "Westy" and "deepthroat"?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any dates... how long you been in the gay porn film industry anyway?
-
I agree totally Urchin, these guns are ruinning for fun of lots just to make happy a single one.
Or even better, perk them with 200 Gv points, if gun or ship is destroyed, bye bye to the perks. We have a perked Tiger and an unperked CV, it is not fair at all.
-
Mammy You guys just post most time whinning without thinking. Of course you can't have cv guns able to kill both friend and foe. You can't trust guys not to kill own side just to listen to them whine. Or have guy grab his second account to man 5" gun shoot down any plane trying to take off cv. Please don't say they could fix this so can't be done. Unless your going to come up with program and then rewrite entire game code for htc just to please yourselfs lol.
By the way if he changed it I would get 2nd account just to shoot down guys wanting chage LOL
-
Best thing to improve game would be ban anyone who whines on the BBS about getting killed.

Urchin, you either need to find a civil way to express your opinions or a different place to do that. You offer up this subject with no intent of intellectual discourse, you just want a flame war. That's not acceptable.
