Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing!!! As long as it is tempered by common sense.....
You guys should use this as an opportunity to teach the kid, instead of pickin on him like schoolyard bullies....
Or maybe this BB is the only place that is safe for you to do that....
Hmmmm???

Search is a wonderful thing.
If these kids knew how to ask NORMAL realistic questions, then things would be fine. But if one comes here without reading a single thing demanding nonsense while typing like a dimwit, they will get scolded by many people here.

Sure enough....
See what I mean, he'll read that, and you have taught him something...
This isn't for TXT msg's, spelling and grammar count for alot....
There ya go...

I dont think you get it. Why teach someone when they will be gone in a few months. The day school is out kids come here, the day it starts thier mommys make them quit so they do thier homework.

(keep in mind all the nice juicy baby seals there will be to club with the influx of numbers newbs during squeaker season)
(oh and anyone know why squeakers feel the need to give updates on EVERYTHING over range vox? "Im hit, no wait my oils out, I gotta pee, im out of gas cover me, im going down!"...then a brief moment of silence before the deafening sounds of pre-pubecence squealing its way back over VOX!)

If you really want to set them off just say "Hey XXX welcome to squelch.". Then sit back and listen to them work up into a squeaking frenzy. Usually everyone on range starts laughing at them so much they either.
A. Shut up (at least for a few minutes)
B. Fly in a different area
Either way your ears get a little respite.

You are NOT making a new forum. You ARE starting a new thread, a redundant thread but a thread none the less.
Just so you know a "forum" (as far as bbs are concerned) is a somewhat specific area of discussion. As in this forum "wishlist". Here you post about things you'd like to see implemented in game.
Now most newbs think they have this great new idea. Instead of searching the bbs they just spout off. Kinda like this thread. However most of the oldtimers have seen and heard it all.
Now as to you not being a newb. I've been here since dec 04 and to most vets I'm a newb. Since you just found the bbs in May, you my friend are in fact a newb. There is nothing wrong with that either everyone was at one time.
Just please from now on try and use the search before bringing up a redundant topic.

Just because something was hashed around in the past doesn't mean it isn't worthy of being discussed again...but at least do a search so when you bring it up you are at least up to speed with the past discussions.

Well, despite the low threshold for tolerating new players and rehashed threads in this obviously (http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/sign0101.gif) (http://www.thesmilies.com) thread, there are a couple problems with your idea, that have been mentioned:
1 - land mines in WWII through to today are not selective in who they go off on. I say this from 20 years experience as an Army Combat Engineer, and I've actually handled many various AP and AT mines in those 20 years. AHII does try to stick to some historical basis for the game mechanics as much as possible while supporting game play. Mines that target only bad guys is too far out of the box for this game, more for a FPS like Quake or BF2.
2 - Griefers and shades would love mines. You'd find them as you tried to leave your own base all the time. TT would be littered with them. Spawn points would be covered in them. With the AP mines you mention, it would be impossible to capture a field or base if the map room were piled deep in AP and AT mines. In fact, you would probably be able to plant them IN a VH, so you could pick up a lot of kills just by dumping your mines in the VH.
It's a game and meant to feature combat in play. Static counter-mobility obstacles and defenses are not combat.
3 - Getting sneaked up on? You need to adjust your sound preferences. You should always be able to hear another approaching vehicle.
Meatwad: Squeaker season is just beginning. Gonna be a long one.
DaddyAck: The ones you are referring to are too busy giving that play by play to hear you tell them to shut up anyways (same ones that text over the Orange Help Channel #6 all the time, clueless about the different channels).
Just make one polite attempt to direct them toward the text buffer away from VOX, or end their play by play..... then squelch them without ceremony if they keep doing it. It will help keep your blood pressure down and concentrate on the game.
To all: We're all getting very short-tempered with the noobs. Tank is dry on patience. Try to make 1 attempt at politely pointing the noobs in the right direction. Then make liberal use of squelch if they fail to take the hint. We may be able to cull a few pilots out of the noob herd with some effort, and they is an expected high number of noob players this summer.
http://trainers.hitechcreations.com (http://trainers.hitechcreations.com) is where I send them most often. I wish accounts were forced into some limited tutorial for this game, as far too many jump straight into LW without a clue about the learning curve.
Not much to be done in the forums except a quick "this is why not" answer, or ignore it and move on.

Well since your squad all agreed on it we will give you the codes for mines in the hanger. You will want to type this in your text buffer /.obctmine1 now you have to have m3 selected in the hanger and 100% feul and 10 troops selected. Also when you drop them they wont show up as mine but as troops it will look like ordinary troops to the naked eye now only friendly will see the troops icons so they know not to touch them. Be careful if you run over the mine yourself you wont be able to up for another 10 min.

Larry, you might want to do a search on Mines and see the results, there are over 40 pages, the majority of which are not germane or remotely related to the subject.
You should also keep in mind that this is the wish list section of the BB. So if someone wants to express their desire for mines, this is the place to do it, not read what others may have posted months or even years ago on the subject.

i'm talking About how in AH2 Bombs cant kill friendlys so why cnt mines jus be triggered by enemys and it would make it better so u dnt have to constantly watch the back of ur tank:aok
-
Mines would be a bad thing to have. Up, lay mines around, .ef, up lay mines, .ef , ect.
I dont know if you ever read the "wishlist" but 95% of the threads are about the same old thing started by n00bs who cant use the search button and wont even be here in a month. Go ahead take a look.

hey is this truekill hey its WPsniper1 u know i'm no noob but i jus want new things and also old TT back lol well <

You missed the point Larry, the search returns so many hit as to make it unusable and like I said, this is a wish list, everyones "wishes" can be heard, even yours.

The grammar outlaw: The Run-on Sentence, AKA The Sentence Masher, The Runaway
“To write simply is as difficult as to be good.”
~ W. Somerset Maugham
The grammar crime: Run-on sentences join two or more complete sentences with no punctuation.
Question: How do we know we have a run-on sentence?
Outlaw
Michaela loves to draw horses she is a talented artist.
This sentence is incorrect because “Michaela loves to draw horses” and “she is a talented artist” can both stand as complete sentences. Therefore, we cannot merge them into one sentence without separating them somehow.
Question: How do we catch run-on sentence outlaws?
Run-on sentence grammar outlaws behave similarly to comma splices; however, because no comma is involved they are harder to spot.
When you read sentences, try to be aware of the independent clauses. When you see two in the same sentence with no punctuation you have caught a run-on sentence outlaw.
Clues: Look for two subjects within the same sentence, or a subject and a pronoun.
Question: How do we rehabilitate run-on sentence outlaws?
We use the same method as we rehabilitate comma splices. There are five main methods of fixing run-on sentences.
1. We can separate the two clauses into two sentences.
Outlaw Rehabilitated
Miranda was the lead vocalist in her band it was a punk rock band. Miranda was the lead vocalist in her band. It was a punk rock band.
2. We can replace the comma with a semi-colon.
Outlaw Rehabilitated
Gordon laughed at Sandy's joke it was lewd. Gordon laughed at Sandy's joke; it was lewd.
3. We can replace the comma with a co-ordinating conjunction (and, but, or, for, yet, nor, or so).
Outlaw Rehabilitated
The night was cold we forgot to bring our coats. The night was cold, and we forgot to bring out coats.
4. We can replace the comma with a subordinating conjunction (e.g., after, although, before, unless, as, because, even though, if, since, until, when, while).
Outlaw Rehabilitated
Maria and John like skiing Karen does not. Although Maria and John like skiing, Karen does not.
5. We can replace the comma with a semi-colon and transitional word (e.g., however, moreover, on the other hand, nevertheless, instead, also, therefore, consequently, otherwise, as a result).
Outlaw Rehabilitated
I expected to pay ten dollars for the bus ride to Halifax I was wrong. I expected to pay ten dollars for the bus ride to Halifax; however, I was wrong.

There are many threads about mines, they are not hard to find. Whenever I try to search fly something its easy to find. Everytime theres a "New Idea" almost 100% of the time theres a thread on page 2-4 with the same "idea". Yea its a "wishlist" but every week theres people spaming the boards with old ideas.

Mines don't know friend from foe, but neither do collisions in the real world.
It's a game and lots of things aren't like the real world. Killshooter anyone?
I see lots of projects and additions that would be better to spend time on than mines, but they could be implemented to add fun. Limiting the amount available @ each base/spawn, making them visible to friendlys (wouldn't they be mapped to avoid friendly kills in real life?) and having them expire would avoid many of the problems brought up.
No, please fix the current issues, add more planes, MAPS, etc before looking at mines. That said, this is the wish list so folks asking about everything from mines to a puppy for Christmas don't bother me. Easy enough to skip looking at the next 20 threads titled Mines, Land Mines, I Want Mines, Why No Mines?, etc.

Yes and torps don't knwo the difference from a friendly cv and nme cv....
Or when you dropp a 1k egg 5 feet short of a Tiger and it doesn't die....
It is a game and you learn to adjust to it over time...

It would be fun the put mines on runways!
Imagine sitting several hundred yards away in a M3 and watching a unsuspecting enemy bomber explode without warning! :lol
Or better yet on your own runways!:t

You're surely a dozen times better than me in a ground vehicle. You'd be far better at it than me in the real world, too. That also applies to racing, operating tractors, and driving in general. I'm perfectly happy about that, because to be enamoured of ground vehicles rather than aircraft is to be small-minded and a dullard. It is for insects who have been brainwashed by television too much to be able to desire or appreciate the beauty, freedom, and power of flight. By all means, continue your obsession with tediously directing plodding, earth-bound things though the slow stream of other weak-minded fools. Continue being content with being limited to two dimensions and further restricted by rules, routes, and other drivers. Enjoy. And I'll look down and laugh at you as I soar overhead on wings, free and above the mire of humanity.
To anyone who flies or earnestly desires to, I salute you. To those who do not, I pity you.
P.S. It takes hundreds of times more dedication and skill to fly airplanes than it does to operate ground vehicles.
