......7 long-haired friends o' jesus in a chartreuse microbus...!!!
-
Wal put thet pedal to the metal and git thet puppy out! :D
-
These guys must be going to the next city over. I heard there was a Grateful Dead concert there later.
-
Naw, I saw these guys in the Snowy Mountains last weekend - they were all 65 and driving 25, while I was 25 and trying to drive 65.
Looks great though!
-
Poor convoy formation discipline, especially in light of the serious air threat. Should be at least 100m, maybe 200m, between vehicles. Sequential vehicles should be driving on opposite edges of the road.
I certainly hope convoys in AH don't drive like this.....
-
look at the roads and town in background!
:)
-
Ahh... That kind of convoy...
Well anything to improve the Strat is a good thing. :)
Would be nice to see Naval Convoys in the future.
-
Are the convoys going to be like the sheep. All fluff and no impact on game play???? It would be nice to have them as strafing targets that really can be destroyed.

Hmm boy are Fatty and SOB gunna be upset in here. They will see the topic and come to see the pictures of the Fat woman Holly, who is as big as a cow. When they get in here as see that awesome convoy picture they gunna be pissed! I was kinda happy to come in here and not see a nekkid fat chick named Holly myself, I figured it had to be that or a cow dressed up for Christmas and it is way too early to have christmas stuff up and out.

Hey hang on a moment!! there were trees in ww2... the dead lay in the ditches... i don't see any of that... and who put the residential side o town so close to the industrial?! :eek:

Keep the bugs off yer glass, and the bears off yer uh.......
Put those long hair Jesus freaks in alongside Shakey Mike, he's haulin' Dynamite and needs all the help he can get!
-
hehe yeah - glad to see i'm not the only white trash who has memorized the lyrics of convoy :D
-
Are there any escorting M16?
a convoy without defence would be like a pizza without peperonis ;)
-
oh come on bullethead!!! all u can see is somethin wrong? why don't ya squeak about there being no headlights...
Shouldn't be headlights :) They get removed by the brass to keep dweeb drivers from using them despite orders.
I'm pointing out that the convoy's trucks are way too close together and not on opposite sides of the road as they should be. They are in parade formation, not tactical formation. If in the game they drive as shown here, then they're simply toast on 1 pass. They need to be spaced out so 1 bomb won't get more than 1 vehicle and even strafing all down the length is a bit difficult due to running out of altitude before running out of trucks.
If these things are going to have an impact on the strat situation, then they need to more than just range targets. Especially given that probably the defenders will have no idea where they are to defend them anyway.
-
Whiners are just like amazinhunks, everybody knows one. :rolleyes:
-
Now if this follows previous patterns of game enhancements, some of the folks over at brand WB will bad mouth this change extensively, and in six months, when it is added to their game, it will be "the coolest thing every" and proof that their game is a marvel of leading edge changes. :)
(think Tanks, M16s, etc)
heheh

BulletHead, you have a good point, but it could have been worded a bit differently.
I am reminded of an event that occurred when I was a bit younger.
The family all sits down for dinner (3 brothers, 1 sister, me being the oldest, and mom and dad), and after eating Mom surprises us with a fresh baked apple pie.
My reaction was "Wow, thanks Mom!", but my sister took a different tact. "Mom, why can't we have ice cream with it?"
I look over at Mom and she was near tears. I look over to my sister and tell her, "Ann, you are being a bit ungrateful, Mom went out of her way to make this pie for us, you should be more thankful about it" Ok, Ok, I was not so eloquent about it, but you get the point.
All Ann had to do is ask if there was any ice cream, instead of making a negative remark about the lack of it. Turns out, Mom had ice cream for those that wanted it.
Anyway,..Bullethead, just saying there are better ways to say some things. Your points are historically correct, but could have been stated better.
That said,, WTG HTC!!!!!! and a big <S>Superfly for this really nice work.
And thanks for sharing the early shots of whats to come.

Tact has never been one of my strong points, especially when I've been drinking as I have been all afternoon. But because my lack of tact seems to be obscuring my point, I'll try again.
HTC, WTG on getting convoys rolling. Now please put them in tactical formation.
Happy now?

What's the good point?
Whine about a sneek peak that is under development? :confused:
-
heheeeeeeee,yet, another hijacked thread :)
Apple pie,though?? Apple pie?? heheeee what ever floats your boat. BTW, the best place to have apple pie is on a sailboat at anchor in a secluded cove as the sun sets just above the horizen in its best reds :)
She comes through the companion way to the cockpit with a freshly baked apple pie. Her blonde hair flowing in the lite breeze, that perfect upturned nose and that smile any angel would kill for and offers a slice of her heavenly creation she has slaved over the entire afternoon just for your pleasure.
Sorry, I can't continue as I must go find those sailboat catalogs.
I will let your imagination compile the rest of the evening :)

1776...is that with ice cream too?

I don't know how many of you used to be around for AW DOS, but there we had AI C47's and supply trucks both.
If you came online and you were the only guy there, you could hit an airfield and then lay in wait for the Gooney, or truck convoy. This was a great way to boost your score, too. We could also drop the ack at the primary field, and then sit at the Spitfire factory and shoot the Spit's as they were made. I remember many a mission in A26's where we did just that.
Well, at the risk of sounding dweeby, there was one time I was deep in C'ville blasting the fuel refinery, and shooting the trucks, and killing goons, when this guy Gritz comes online and says, "Come here, dweeb." I proceeded to run, of course, but real soon there's this Yak catching me, so I dive in my A26 and turn on him. He most have been in a hurry, because one displacement roll later he's out in front with the perfect amount of lead and dies. heh
Well, you'll never see this host empty. Not for a long, long time. :D
It's great to see the convoys, and I do hope they are human controlled, and not AI!
:cool:
-
The girls are inside the trucks?
-
NO no silly, the ICE CREAM is in the trucks!
:)
-
The girls are wrestling in ice cream? Cool!
-
I think it would be fun to hide an M16 at the tail of that convoy and nab some straffing dweeb ;)
It really seems that 1.08 is going to be the top version to date! It's looking to be an impressive update. Roads! I wonder if Panzer speeds will be up when travelling on them.

Hmm new target for my IL-2 Sturmovik, sweet :D
-
Guys, your off the topic...it's not about ice cream. It's about apple pies...
-
WTF I want headlights AND skuzzy's moms apple pie WITH icecream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
BTW I want that icecream offset from the apple pie with each dollop on either side of the plate!!!!!!!!!!! :D
-
So can I buy ice cream with my perkies?
-
Back on topic !
It looks like we are gonna get some real cities in AH, that is grrreat, the convoy is also a great addition, and I am shure it will add to the gameplay alot.
Hell, we have waited a long time for 1.08, but when I see whats coming, it is well worth the wait, and I dont mind waiting for a bit more if there are more suprices like this in it :D

Hmm, when I study the picture closer I see another convoy inside the city, or are those trucks just parked there, or being filled up or anything ?

Hmmm, just noticed that the road actually curves instead of the straight lines that merely angle off.
Nice work!

No offence intended with agreeing with someones observation or as some say whine. To me it was a matter of fact statement made by someone whose either studied tactics or may have done it for a living. Bullethead may be a li'l rough around the edges to some of you but I wouldn't cll it a whine. I believe it's people like him who bring up valid points help develope this game into one of the best.

Of course Im sure everyone else's tactical prowess is considered in development as well :).

Both...
Maybe a li'l rough, Well thats putting it nicely :D Over the years Iv learned, BH normaly knows what he is talking about and sometimes he knows when he is sober too. ;D

You guys get mad at us killing chutes, and you're going to blow up a convoy full of ice cream and innocent dancing girls?

Professor Fate
Sure, but I'm not sure how valid those points are. Modern U.S. Army road march doctrin vs. WW2 where the standard level of operational training ivolved "push in the clutch and put it in gear..." and the standard road march procdeure was "as fast as you can get it there."
In any case, sheesh! I bow to his expertise in Army logistics, but this isn't Truck Aces. WTG HTC, a great new addition, I can't wait for the release.

I think everyone is happy at the addition, but if they can easily be modeled as correct as possible, why not. always best to toss the idea out there.
Heheheh Truck Aces, I like that one...
This makes me think of WW2OL. See I thought they were promising all aspects of the war. Here I wanted to be a virtual file clerk, with a virtual rubber stamper and sit behind my virtual desk online all night ;D Nope they didnt cover that ;D hehehehehe So I must fly AH.
