What Grizz said...



I'm hoping that means no more laser accurate aiming on the Wirbels...

No, the gun just shakes a bit when you pull the trigger.

Added recoil animations on the Il2, PT boat, Firefly, SdKfz 251, Wirblewind, M3, M8, B25's, LVT's. We'll continue to update others in future releases.

By the looks of it they just added the animations and not the actual recoil.

P.S. I did not try it yet so I may be wrong.

My Wirbels lack accuracy due to my system freezing trying to play so many firing sounds while drawing so many tracers in a tiny space. Good thing I've used the Ostie so long.

I'm sure someone (including HTC) would be glad to burn it to a CD and mail it to you, if it makes you feel better.

So, what do you suggest we do?  Block you from the arenas while a CD is mailed?  I can assure you that would take a lot longer than 5 hours.

There are times a large patch is unavoidable.

On the subject of long downloads....is the in-game download speed limited?  Curious since I can never seem to break 5-6KB/s (according to the #b/s readout), yet if I Download it from the site it gets 150-250kb/s.  Likely just this awful internet connection, but just curious.

No, the auto-updater is not speed limited.  Chances are, when a patch is released, there are a few hundred people all downloading at the same time, whereas the link we provide in the WEB information goes to another server.

  In some places this is not an option.  Thndregg and I were both stuck on Dial up until fairly recently also.     Always bugs me when people make comments like this as if everyone every where has the same options. 

  Though complaining about the time it takes to download something when you know your on a slow connection doesn't really help either. You know your connection is slow so ya just have to deal with it, we did.


  As far as adding recoil to bombers, They did that quite a while ago.   I remember it well, for a while I couldn't shoot worth a crap but then got used to the shake and was back to being spot on again.  Don't even notice it at all now.

We do the best we can to keep patches and updates as small as possible.

When faced with a very lengthy download. just do what I used to do.
Start the download before you go to bed. Then by the next morning your set to go.

I think HiTech answered my complaint the best. I understand a big patch is a big patch, but not knowing everything that is interconnected when you have to make an update all I can do is sit back and wait for it with a 56K connection. From my uneducated POV it looked like it could have been chopped up into smaller updates over a period of time. If that was unavoidable, then it was unavoidable.

I just hope you guys at the mothership understand us guys out in the boondocks have no broadband option other than satellite and we all know that isn't a viable option to play the game with the delay it has. We're still just as addicted to the game with our string and tin can connections as the players in the suburbs with broadband.

Thanks again for addressing my complaint HiTech. <S>

About twelve seconds using a download manager from the main page link.

rpm, do you know someone WITH broadband? Some one at work? If you do, you could swing by their place and have them download the patch/updates and either burn it to a disk or slap it on a memory stick. Then you could just install it from there when you get home. Just an idea.

I just did what I've always had to do. Give up the idea of flying for the night and let it d/l overnight.

Honestly, it was just a flippant remark and I didn't expect everyone to get so wound up about it. I live 1.5 miles outside the Sprint/Embarq/CenturyLink  DSL coverage area and they are not going to extend it anytime in the near future. I tried getting microwave but I can't get a decent line of sight to the ISP tower because of the topography and trees. I could erect a 100ft tower but then I would be the biggest lightning rod for 5 sq miles register with the FAA and add lights.

To add insult to injury, my ISP is Partnership Broadband. I'm one of the very few dialup customers they have. I could tether to my cell phone and get a faster connection, but that is (cough) illegal. I'm about 10 miles from AT&T 3G coverage. If I bought a tethering plan I would still have to pay for a 3G connection even tho I can't access it.

I live between Rock and Hardplace.

satellite not avail?

for awhile I used a sat. connection for stuff like surfing and downloads and a dial up to fly on. 
(dial up is 100xbetter to fly w/ than sat. and well worth the $10 I was paying for it)

i find on the .50 the recoil is pretty intense and much harder to hold on victim err target! havent noticed much in the planes or in bombers.
