The lack of a direct answer speaks volumes.
It was a very simple question.
Blah Blah Blah. The portion of this community, which you belong to, that don't like us because we pay our $15 to play this game how we want while
CONSTANTLY critiquing what we do speaks far greater. We don't owe you a single explanation for anything we do. You aren't our dad, God, or HiTech. Your question was inflammatory and meant to point out what you believe is one of our inadequacies. You want us to validate for you why you think we are inferior to us and in a public forum the only reason for doing so is with the hopes that you will smear our squad further. Well get in line. There's plenty of other AH bullies you can make smores with around a campfire while telling your stories about us.
My 'indirect' answer is exactly what you deserve. You want to be a jerk to us and then expect us to answer your post to your specifications. How do you deal with a bully?
You need to do a few things before you answer any post, not just mine. Here they are.
I don't make statements such as I did without some semblance of certainty in my stance because, even if you dislike me or what I say, I'd like still to be look at as a person of honor and integrity.
Your example 1 shows almost exactly my point. If you want to be an elitist and try to insert 'scientific fact' to this conversation go ahead. It's a forum for a WW2 simulation. Not "can we create a cure for hand warts." The 'fact' is you took a spectrum of numbers, which you admit the high end is 40, and used the exact high end. That would be a no-no in the 'scientific community' as it does not hold true representation to mean value of the spectrum. I'm willing to do that leg work for you, basically what I just said is that if you wanted to be most accurate, which so you're aware the scientific community takes accuracy pretty serious, you should have referenced the average number (or mean value) of planes we require to launch a mission. Instead, like Al Gore takes only the extremes in his argument, you chose to reference the extreme number in an attempt to further smear our squad. So your personal feelings have affected your argument. Another no-no in the 'scientific community'. You silly Man-Bear-Pig you.
Example 2 is also flawed as your exact words I referenced was, "they
wouldn't go on their hvy fighter mission with any less than 40 planes." I guess you should have been more specific and said, "they wouldn't go on their hvy fighter mission until they had 40 planes in the mission." Those have different meanings and when YOU don't convey your message properly typically humans fill in the blanks on their own.
Your example 3 shows your true colors. Keep talking down to me and see what it will get you. Nothing. Cause this is a digital environment and I will never meet you in real life, so I guess if you enjoy acting like you are superior to me in all ways... Have at it. I chuckle at your need for importance. Others will read it and if only for a slight moment think that your being a jerk and that will diminish your integrity in their eyes, which even for a mere second, still harms you and not me. After all, I'm
proudly a vGUY. How much more 'marked' can I get. What you said, exactly, was "with little thought put forth in terms of tactics aside from numbers win." I gave you a LIST of things we tactically do ASIDE from numbers. So I guess to correct my post, "As for your intent on believing we have no tactics" should have read, "As for your intent on believing we have little tactics." Either way it was you that claimed we do not think of how to tactically achieve our objective and I cited numerous examples as to why you are ignorantly incorrect. And I use the word ignorant not in the "uneducated or unsophisticated" way, I use it in the "lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular" way, to be clear. (Hope you enjoyed my use of Google Search there)
I completely agree that numbers are a valid tactic, as well as selecting the field that will have lower resistance. The objective after all is to take the base. Not spend 45 minutes dying for a bust. I could spend another paragraph attempting to explain in detail they why's and whatnot but that would do no one on this forum any good, so I digress.
I don't dislike you, as a matter of fact anytime I've ever flown with or around you I feel you are a great asset and always kind. I dislike your persistence to join all these people who hate us cause we play a different style of game than they do. I don't think I've ever seen a single thread from us pounding hate on people who like to furball for hours to gain nothing, spend days at TT, or who are nothing but fighter jocks. Our focus is OUR choice of gameplay. It's really disrespectful to tell someone how to play who isn't by their own choice in your squad. That and talking down to other people is definitely not what a person who values their 'honor and integrity' does.
