Title: Greatest Myths of AH...
Post by: Mathman on August 13, 2002, 01:40:47 PM
Here are some of the greatest myths that I have read on this board and seen/heard in the MA

-The guns on the F6F are/were "different" than the ones on other .50cal armed planes

-The N1K2 is an absurd plane that is unbeatable (if it is unbeatable, how come they get shot down?)

-Guns on the top of a B-17 actually shoot planes below it (this has been explained so many times it isn't even funny)

-Country A, B, or C is the best country (if people switch sides, what makes A, B, or C the best?)

-Typhoons shoot backwards (one of the funniest and best threads I have ever read)

-Stall limiter and Combat trim make the game too easy and are an unfair advantage to those that use them

-You can quit this game anytime you want (well you can actually quit the game, but not truly cancel your account - though there are exceptions like real world problems intervening)

-RAM has quit the game (he really just wanted a new handle)

-Drex is good

-Furballers are mindless

-Buffers are out to get furballers

Feel free to add your own or comment

"You'll find more sportmanship and better overall conduct in the Combat Theatre"

Limited experience here, but let's just say my first experience was not a positive one.

--there are no cheats for this game

--all griefers are punished

--you can suggest ideas to the devs and they will take them into consideration

--people who spray constant insults, and harrass newbies on the MA channel 1 are warned and/or punished

--gvs are a major part of this game

--the majority of the playerbase like bombing post 1.10

--the devs are never wrong

--customer service is excellent for any MMOG

RoyofCA, I'm afraid I disagree with almost every implication in your post.  I suspect I am not alone.

Please feel free to back up your comments.

-HTC appreciates the cheerleaders patrolling these boards trying to squelch any comment that might be interpreted as critical.

-If you want to help improve your favourite game you should just shut up and never give any suggestions or point out any flaws.

Players aren't bitter because HTC hasn't implemented their suggestion which is obviously a stroke of genius and the best thing for the game.  The members of HTC have only been developing games for 5+ years.  What do they know? :rolleyes:

-- 1 Line answers are worth reading

-- Political and/or religious discussions on channel 1 are stimulating, intelligent, and worthwhile

-- AH players are all experts in the history of WW2

-- Rooks understand the meaning of teamwork

AND MY PERSONAL FAVE:

-- AW WAS A BETTER FLIGHT SIM!

If there's something in the game that appears incorrect or ahistorical the best way to get it changed is to act just like a two-year old and pitch a non-stop fit on the BBS. Don't include any factual data or testing; a sorrowful  non-stop moan will suffice.

***

Anyone who disagrees with your "unhappy two year old" behavior is simply a "cheerleader" for the game, despite the fact that he/she may agree with the basic premise of your complaint and is merely commenting on your immature behavior.

-- the rest of us are here to fly in a way that satisfies you (the plane you want us to fly, in the way you want us to fly

-- that everyone finds your way the best way or most fun way

-- that game developers hate the Luftwaffe

-- that trim was a major component of actual air combat  (hehe, I want to be Toad's disciple!)

-- that harder is more "realistic"

-- that "realistic" can even be defined and universally agreed on

-- that CT pilots are a better breed than MA pilots

and finally

-- the rest of us care what you think  ;)
