The last vestiges of Bradyness

[CurtissP-6EHawk]

"They" always claim the N1K2J is a sub for all other IJ planes not offered by HTC. Well, when ever the F4U is enabled, even if based three grids away, the N1K2J must always be there....even on front line bases and on maps where it really wasnt well used.

I can and will dogfight, I did tonight ( Joshp), but I wont slow down for a furball!

The N1K2J represents many aircraft not offered by HTC but yet the most used of all aircraft (A6M5) (or even the Ki-61) you seldom ever see.  IJ dive bombers dont even exist anymore due to the Ki-67.

The funny thing today is that when the ships got sunk around 7pm eastern, the arena began to empty out. They b1tch about the fleets and ack but whine when there is nothing to shoot at or have to fly all the way to that other base. Remember, if you see an F4U high, odds are he has been flying longer than you. It takes a lot to grab alt in that thing, as well as the P-47 and F4F. Once alt lost, it almost cant be gained back! Yes, I always have an escape route planed!

We are here to attack Okinawa. This takes ships and LVTs. The distroyers must get close for the attack. The damn things get sunk too fast so then we sub the distroyers with whats left of the CVs. Once a field is captured, it just gets recaptured and the fight is over again.

The CT, I hoped when I joined, would be like the historic arena in warbirds. It would be like a 24 hour SEA.

Yes that is correct Splas1, and yes the Allies do have CA fleets, but that is conveniently overlooked by those with an agenda to push.



Who and what agenda?







The hope was that whoever was driving the fleets would realize that they were placing said ships in extreme peril when they came in close and stayed there.

Well hoping has failed. Whats the next idea ? Its is immpossible to keep the handsomehunkes from beaching the CVs right in front of the shore batteries and conga line of suicide KI-67s. Everytime I log on the ship are in the same damn spot. Dorks want thier instant action and procede to get all the fleets sunk and respawned to the bottom of the map.(another great idea) While the "brownwater Admiral" decides the CT is now boring and heads back to the MA or his Xbox. The "Allies" get to here how lame they are for parking thier ack machines off the N1K nests. The "Allies" have plenty of time to read and respond on thier long cruise back to the action.






The brown water admirals really need to keep the fleets at least 1 sector away. There isn't a lot of fun to this kind of play guys. I hate getting in shore batteries but I guess it became a must. could we have two more CA or BB fleets please?

If someone could figure out how to keep the CVs a sector away from land Im all for it. Keep the CVs away and use the Cruiser fleets to get in close for amphibious landings. Its no fun having to constantly babysits fleets because some moron thinks they should be spitting distance from the enemy airfield. You have to take the fleets away from them every time and then listen to them whine because they dont understand why you did it. The plus side is you get to hear about it from the other side on CH 1 too. Maybe we should start listing the names of the Brown Water Admirals so we can target them for re-education.

Fun huh?

I'm all for posting the fleet admiralty names.   for selective re-educational purposes only of course.

Didja finally get to sink all the fleets last night, gunner jack?

See the post right above yours.

Everything you said is why I dont find this MAP, not planeset, worth playing.

Remember, I was the one saying the Axis should NOT get the Niki added to the '43 Slot set a while back because it was too good to sub for any missing IJA/IJN plane types.

What about when the P-38 gets subed for earlier versions? Nobody complains then (and I dont care about it either). I think you just want to be able to club the Axis do death like baby seals without having to risk your "life" by taking away the plane that is the biggest threat to you.

The Ki-84 would be BETTER than the Niki, for the life of me I dont see why you have a problem with that, even though the Niki isnt a sub, it was there. I brought up the idea of calling the Niki a sub for the Ki-84 so you could better cope with its inclusion. Guess I failed.

Maybe this map should be pulled until we/they can figure out something that makes it more playable. I hate to say that because I know alot of hard work went in to it. Maybe hold off on it till we get more planes after AH2. I do hope the Frank is around the corner. ALong with a ton more.

Of course. I'll start taking notes.

[Arlo]

I left to sleep. Sunday's not an "off day" for me.

But you coulda had fun in a shorebatt, I'm sure. Probably more without me there, actually.

Off to work! But I'll be back.
