Buzz.
I don't think anybody blames you for the switch. Personally I don't know how you CT staffers do it, we all give you hell at some point or another.
There are so many damn points of view and you guys are trying to make as many people happy as you can. So you guys are appreciated, and we all owe all of you CT staffers a big Thank You.
I was bummed when the setup got changed, mainly for the reasons I've stated. VF-27, and 880 FAA, support this arena no matter what. This was one of the setups they wait for. I want some late war ETO's so my squad can fly P-47s, and P-51s. If we had one that got pulled, that would have been a big kick in the nads to me.
My thoughts on the whole thing are this. We all are going to have to give and take a little. You CT staffers can't make everyone happy noi matter how hard you try. All of us in the CT Community need to suck it up a bit, and go with the flow.
There is a lot of frustration in here lately, and there has been a lot of sniping and fighting among ourselves. I've done it as much as anybody. Why so much frustration, that we're going at each other like mad dogs lately? I don't know myself but I got a few suggestions for all of us. They may just be B.S. to some of you but I'm gonna post them anyway.
We're all here to enjoy ourselve's. So lets try doing it.
Every Plane matchup can't be fair. That goes without saying, we're all going to have to bite the bullet at one time or other.
The setups need to be mixed. We can't do a lot of just early war setups, and forget the 44/45 planes. People want to fly those too.
We can't ignore the PTO. The PTO planeset suffers yes, but the Japanese are getting a grip on some things, and the setup that was pulled this week was actually one of the best PTO's you can come up with. Once in place lets fly it.
No more bashing planes like the N1k2, or the TA-152 for being in the Axis stable. Look I know there may have been only 300 or so N1k2;s made, but your not going to see 300 of them, your going to maybe see at the very most 20, and usually not that many.
If the N1K2, ME-262, TA-152, Spit MK -Uber whatever was there, then let em fly.
Axis Pilots, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it. You know your going to have to work harder sometimes, because of planes and larger numbers on the Allied side. Thats part of the appeal to flying Axis, it is harder most of the time.
Allied Pilots, if the Axis have what you consider an uber plane, don't bash em and belittle them for flying it. Over come it, destroy the base they fly from. Live with the fact that yes, like it or not the Germans, and the Japanese did develop some kick bellybutton aircraft.
Both Sides, try and understand without the guys flying on the other side of the map this would be boring as hell. If the numbers get lopsided, ask for help but don't whine. I've seen whining start on he buffer lately with numbers like 16 to 11. Thats not bad odds. Try and treat each other with a little respect as you blow their brains out.
We're all in love with the same game, we've all got the addiction.
New ideas are always coming up like the push for no icons. I understand that some people may want that, if you can do it without screwing up peoples ability to play the game like wingmen, and squads then give it a try.
Last, but not least to the CT staffers, and the CT pilots. We are all human. We are all going to complain, make bad post, lose our temper, and generally make an bellybutton out of ourselves sooner or later. Lets all undertsand that right now, and in the future I for one will try and give a guy having a bad time a little encouragement, not hand him a gun, and say point this at your head and pull the trigger you'll feel better.
Don't take any of this crap too serious, remember what all the people that don't do this say about AH. " OH THAT AIRPLANE GAME"
