I think he knows that, now.  It wasn't the last time he was run down by a Dora, yesterday evening. :devil

personally, i really enjoyed having full dot dar.  It made finding fights much more easier.

Icon Range ???
« Reply #19 on: June 02, 2008, 10:56:52 AM »
Although I agree it improves the chances of finding  a fight  :aok :aok  I am shaking my head that it would be implemented (other than for trial purposes  :aok :aok ) over increasing the icon range.  I asked for the icon range to be increased to promote more fights.  In the past, the answer has been, AvA has always been that way.  Well, here's your chance to correct that. :confused:

Ham, the settings are being tweaked while we are in boot camp for Battle of Aces.  I am putting the word out how great the AvA is and how much fun.  I expect to see new squads flying AvA this war.  AvA staff is doing a great job of looking into past complaints, at the top of their list has to be vulching and milkrunning.  If the GPS settings of the current setup will help in either of these cases, I am for it.  If they are looking to promote fights, please look at increasing icon range.

Icon range will help keep enemy from slipping by avoiding detection.  I can't tell you how much it improves SA.  The arguement that it is not necessary (then do away with it all together).

Settings are great, right now as it is only boot camp, and the BoA hasn't started. 

Rather than worry about current arena settings, start worrying about your respective C.O. and if he has his crap together.  Are your squads ready?  Does everyone know their job?  Can they perform their job efficiently?

These should be the burning questions because, know you this, very shortly......

Having been station in the Uk for three years drinking their warm beer. I did like nothing better than a TDY to Germany.
I have to agree with you on this one.

It's not the temperature, it's the taste.

Translation...........

Why is the American beer served so cold?  So you can tell the difference between it, and urine?


There is something gross and too fruity about too warm of fermentation temperatures.  The UK still needs to discover the benefits of colder fermentation temps, and lagering of their beers.

But....  a good stout is something I will never turn down.

There's German ales.

I much prefer the tastes of ales over lagers, especially a good hoppy India Pale Ale.  :aok

The real translation of that "German" is:

"Why is the American beer cold, that's being attended? So you can from urin explain"

What you gave as translation would read like this in German:

"Warum wird das Amerikanische Bier so kalt serviert? Damit man es von Urin unterscheiden kann!" (Usually you would substitute "Urin" with a less noble vocable ;) )

No need to cry over Dot dar guys. This is temprorary. Everything is being set up for BoA, this war is basically something to hold us over and  give us something to do. Just go out and practice killing the other side for BoA, no need for whinning.

I didn't approve the fundding for that.  Any POW will be shot or chain to a tree.
