I would have noticed it, but my own dropping IQ prevented me from doing so...  :(

.....or am I missing something. (which is entirely possible)

Between the torrent of clueless posting, the terrible grammer and spelling on the BBS and some of the strange stuff in the arenas, I'm starting to wonder what's in the cartoon air in the game.

Hopefully it's just my Alzheimers setting in and I'll forget about it quickly, but I'm starting to get worried. :huh


Well, idk, I've gotten suprisingly better with non-dweebish planes like the F4U. So........... me being less of a dweeb makes things worse?!?!?!?!  :noid

:rofl some F4Us are pretty dweebish, IMHO.

Fly the Hurricane Mk. 1 like me  :t

But I still say the damn country's youth is, whats the word for it...I will just say declining in intelligence, rather rapidly too.

Nope, I think we have until around August before squeaker season is open again.  :cool:
Until then I will enjoy the functionality of my eardrums.  :aok

I'm not sure if the playerbase IQ has ever been stellar (even if I'd like to think so too) and I don't really agree in bashing new players who do not, or cannot have a clue -yet.

Just take it easy and do not scare them away with too rough handling.

After all it is in HTC's best interest to get new players into such marginal genre of games and it is (in a way  ;)) good to see that they are active in posting and hopefully in gathering information. Young people do not necessarily have the same emphasis on WW2 knowledge as we older ones, BTW.

***

After all the BBS is a good way of sharing information, although it seems that usually people do not "share" information but take a stance with what they got and engage into debates with intention to squash any opposition promoting their favorite, themselves, and denying any critique.

But I have to say that AH BBS is not the worst I have seen -nor the best, unfortunately.

Apparently all of you criticizers know all the answers, are very open minded and also can read our minds (I'am 51, Dads is about 38)
