Why do we have worthless equipment?

[Urchin]

Why was any time at all wasted in putting worthless stuff in the game?  

The Ta-152 is a fantastic example of a plane that never should have been put in.  It is a horrible POS, AND it is perked, like to add insult to injury or something.  

The M8.  Whats the point?  A .50 caliber bullet will take your turret out, to say nothing of an actual tank shell.  But you get to drive really really fast!  Until an M3 sees you, and kills you.  Then you get to drive back really really fast.

At least most of the "hangar queens" are almost competitive.  Human nature being what it is, 2nd best doesn't count for a whole lot, but they can ALMOST hold their own.  

I'm convinced that **** like the M8 and 152 were put in the game just to frustrate people who like to try to make ****ty stuff work.  Some stuff you can get to work, those 2 examples in particular sit unused for good reason.  A kid on a tricycle could kill an M8 with a halfheartedly thrown rock.  Put the same kid in a large paper airplane and he could kill Ta-152s all day.

Stupid.

Agreed on both, but you'll get a couple people on here who can make both of those things work for them.  I've lost a Tiger to a friggin M-8 before and got into a nice low-level turn fight with a TA and a Spit once.  Course the Ta was just buzzing and zooming away every minute or so.  When I waxed his friend he hauled ace.

Looks like it's working:p

I agree though, also the 152 shouldn't be perked.

Actually I like the M8 for taking out campers with its quick R.O.F.

[Morpheus]

LOL yup.

Esp on the Ta152. What a POS. Good thing its perked. Its a god down low where MOST of the action is anyways. errr wait

[Meatwad]

I will defend the M-8. Tonight I took it from A18 to A19 and drive it on the field. There was a tiger sitting there so  I drive right up to it and start pegging it. About 7 rounds later I get the kill on it.

I also take it to TT for fun and also do pot shots at low level aircraft strafing me with the  37mm. I enjoy it

[yayyyy]

yeah

[Brenjen]

Well seeing as how any GV can be killed by any other GV if you get close enough ( the bug I'm refering too ) & the TA-152 was a buff killer & it is good at that in AH I don't see the problem. I personally don't like the TA-152 or the M-8 but that's beside the point.

Just because they are not good in MA doesnt mean they dont have their place, imho if it had a place in history its worth it to have in a sim for historical scenarios. Combat Tour for example. I cant do crap in the ta 152 either, from many accounts it was a good plane, maybe it needs some flight modeling attention from htc.

The TA 152 is uber if you have some speed i meen i took out 3 temps with it only to be jumped by 5 from like 10k above me thats when your screwed.

Like the attention the 38 got? LMFAO!!! They can keep their attention to themselves.

[kamilyun]

The 152 is great to take to Tank Town for some kill stealing action

[Easyscor]

I thought I was the only one who had trouble in the 152.
