Title: fix the loadout shell numbers.
Post by: Nemisis on May 23, 2010, 08:01:02 PM
I've noticed that there is a discrepancy between what the loadout says, and the actuall number (and possibly ratio) of shells carried. The T-34/76 says it has 25 HVAP rounds, 50 HE rounds, and 50 AP rounds, when the actuall number of HE rounds carried is 25.

The problem also exists with the M4A3's, although I'm unsure of the load out, and numbers of shells listed as being carried.

Just get some bug spray and kill all the bugs. That will fix it.

No WrongWay. What I mean is it says, for example, 62AP and 35HE, when in fact you only have 52 AP rounds on board your tank.

This isn't a major issue, but it seems fairly simple to fix, and it screwed me over the first time I used one of the incorectly labled loadouts (it was planing on camping a field. Took out VH and ack, only to discover that I didn't have enough HE rounds for the ordinance).

Personally i have no issues with camping the NE/SW runway of a large airfield to distract uppers. There are 4 other runways and a hanger spawn to use. I was delaying for my buddies to take out the town, wich they did, but I died before we got troops to the map room.

Didn't you post an extremely whiny thread about the evils of spawn camping?  Ever hear of the word "hypocrite"?

yes I did, but I didn't camp the VH or any spawn. I would have hightailed it out of there had the VH stopped smoking, because I would have been required by my conscience to slug it out face to face, and the M4A3(75) isn't much of a heavy hitter.

As I said, my purpose in attacking the base was to keep attention on me so the town could be destroyed, and troops brought to the map room. And as I said, I was offering them a fair chance to kill me with guns, seeing as there were 4 operable runways.

And Ack-Ack, I have been meaning to ask you: are you the AkAk that has been suiciding into osti's guns for the purpose of turreting them? Or is it some knock-off?

Basically, you're just a hypocrite.  It's okay for you to spawn camp if it serves your purpose but you cry like a tool when it's done to you.  What makes it even sadder is all the excuses you try to dredge up to explain your lameness and hypocrisy.  Think I'm gonna call you kettle from now on.

Do you have a problem with me upping a B-25H and going after GVs?  You must because you kept spamming with me with PMs in the MA until I finally told you to knock it off.

Ack Ack, I have no problems with a GV camping an airfield since its hard as hell to do. What I have a problem with are those that camp a spawn because they want to build up some perks, or those that camp in an M8 so they can land their kills and look good. And Ack-Ack, a field can't really be called "camped" if I allow them to up. If you consider camping being anywhere you could possibly kill uppers, then ever damn person on or over an enemy field is camping or vulching.

I have no problem with B-25's and IL2's as they actually went after tanks. I'm fine with your 38, and I'm fine with the hoard of A20's I have a problem with people upping lancasters and carpet bombing, or dive bombing the spawns.

And all I asked was if you were Ack-Ack, or if you were someone else. BTW, you never did answer that, in the MA, nor here on the boards.

But you seem far more intent on attempting to pick my ideas of what is acceptable than of fixing a real problem in the game, so if you wish to continue hashing things out, please do it in a PM. As for now, I'm returning to the subject of the OP:

Does anyone have the exact numbers of what is listed in the loadout and what is actually carried?

Personaly, I see a rather big difference between rolling onto a field to kill all uppers, and doing it to distract uppers. In fact, I only killed the il2's, b-25's and the planes I saw were carrying ord. Past that i let them be. I honestly don't get what's so hard to understand that there is a HUGE difference between killing all uppers, and killing those that up with the main goal of killing you and your M3.

But seeing as all you want to do is flame me and spam the boards with anti-Nemisis sentiment, I ask you to start your own "nemisis is a hipocrite because doesn't like spawn campers, yet he has no moral problems with distracting uppers, yet letting the vast majority live" thread. I said "camp a field" because it was the best discription I could think of.

Bronk, if you DON'T see a big difference then you are a moron. I do intend offense, btw.


Camping is placing ones self in a possition suitable for killing anything that ups.

The fact that I let most up means I wasn't camping. If I had killed the ord, a grand total of 3 aircraft would have been killed on the runway.

Having experienced your air combat  I can understand your need to camp a runway.
How is that for offensive? Now stop spinning and let it go.

And yes... the loadout numbers on the calliope are wrong.  It does only show 1 rocket when it has the full 60, after you launch one, then is shows zero... no matter how many are left.

I'll admit that my aircombat skills could use some work bronk, I'm not trying to deny it. But honestly, I killed a grand total of 8 aircraft, and those were the ones that were carrying ord. If I'd had enough shells to kill ord, then around 3 would have died.

And bronk, what do you mean "let it go"? I'm a little confused here YOU guys are the ones coming in here saying "Nems a hipocrite" "Hey I thought you didn't like camping" and (it seems to me) attempting to put me in the wrong, when I've asked to return to the subject of the thread. I don't care if you dislike me; why should I care? You are someone I know through a combat sim, and these forums.

You are a hypocrite period end of discussion. You say you do not like camping but yet will camp a runway when it fits your need. No gray area there boyo you CAMPED the runway attempting to stop what you deemed a threat to your cause.

What you need to let go is your spin and admit you will and like camping when you need to. Notice I never said what you did was wrong or right... just you being a hypocrite.

I'm not sure where you get I like or dislike you from pointing out your inconsistency.

I try to avoid camping. If thats all there is to do (kicked back to your last base without a reset), then I will. But I don't "enjoy it".

I guess if you want to put it that way, then I was camping. But notice I was only able to kill the guys with ord dumb enough to up on the runway I was covering. And the thing is, it was the same 3 guys. They had sufficient time to learn that the NE runway had a tank sitting right behind it.

I did notice this in the M4 (75mm).  I clicked on the load out when it said 50HE and 50AP and when I launched only had less than what was stated (I cannot remember what the actual number of rounds was, sorry).  No biggie because I just towered and got the right loadout I needed for the job I was gonna do.

I know bronk. But I don't have to take pleasure out of killing the fun. Thats the whole point of this game, and seeing as camping kills fights, and therefor the fun, I don't much care for it. But when its a choice between sitting on the couch watching reruns, going outside in the rain, and camping runways so an M3 can make it to town, the choice is pretty clear.
