Correct me if I'm wrong, but 2(10)= 20?

OK ... You're wrong, ever heard of Scientific Notation? Your integer in parenthasis represents a POWER of 10 or 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 or 1,024 ...  (2 x 10) is the algebraic notation = 20 ...

As any 5th grader cn tell you Talos is proposing 2 subsets ... now once again ... 2+2 = ? 3 + 3 = ?

I wonder if HTC would model it's bad ground handling.
hey, didnt ya see how great them candiuns fly their c46? they handling it pretty well, and in the cold too i might add  :aok canada rocks!!  :banana: oh on ICE PILOTS or sum show like that

you made my day EV thank you

2(10) isn't scientific notation.

the way it is written, it does appear to be scientific notation (two to the tenth power). The way it should have been written, if he wanted to put it in that from, is 2(1x10) or 2*(1x10). That's if he wanted to make it complicated. It should have just be worded like this 2x10.



now to get this back on track

awesome that brought me back to the high school days.  however I would like to remind you since the 10 paratroopers in the back of the plane get to the same place at the same time at the same speed as the 10 in first class.  you still carrying 20 troopers.  and the number of troops needed to take a base are equal to the maximum number of troops in an airplane/gv regardless of sitting arrangement.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

   i did not say 20 troops, i said 2 sets of 10. Preferably with a small delay to prevent dropping 20 troops on the map room at one time (ppl do this in game already). And with it being perked i don't see why this wouldn't work out for the better


   In light of recent vent i would like HiTech himself or someone from HTC to confirm that statement. The whole thing with the "It needs to see combat to be added" fiasco. I mean no offence to HiTech and the HTC staff but i would just like to hear how they would put it

You're an obvious graduate with honors of the Krusty School for Advanced Mathematics.  2 sets of 10 troops still equals 20 troops no matter how you try and spin it.

If you want to see HiTech's post about what I said, just do a search.  He had stated that if a plane can carry more than 10 troops then he'd raise the number of troops needed to capture a town to match.  So if a plane can carry 20 troops...oops I meant 2 sets of 10 troops, then it would take 20 troops...err I meant 2 sets of 10 troops to capture the town.

More Transports would be nice.  Especially if we can get something faster than the current one.

How come nobody ever uses the 251 on the ground?  It has some advantages.

  thank you for bringing my intelligence into question.  As you are so quick to over look the key part of the point i am trying to make the Delay between the two sets of troops to prevent dropping 20 troops, at one time, on a single base with a single plane.

(ppl do this all the time with 3-4 C47s)

  Or we can do this, instead of bickering back and for like a bunch of school girls, and since you seem have an intelligence level of around mine. Why not instead of trying to flame the troop number, come up with an idea that might work. And as of yet no one has even commented on the airfield sups or the Vehicle sups for this plane every one has been caught up in the troop count (mainly because the two of us). So just give everybody an idea that would might help solve the issue

BTW: i could not find the post made by HiTech, so if someone could find the link, or something along those lines that would be appreciated

Uhm no :bolt:

Scientific notation would look like this 2^10. 2(10) is basically distributive property but parenthesis typically signify multiplication.

+1 to the C-46 love the bird.

-1 to the "20" troops

Sorry no ... parenthesis signify an OPERATION and are MOST commonly used to enclose an equation that must be resolved BEFORE operations ouitside the parenthesis are initiated. The UP arrow has other specific functions and would serve only to confuse.

-1 to the "20" troops
Keep in mind this is intended to be a PERKED aircraft ... PAYING for double the payload is a reasonable option, especially if you are shorthanded and don't have a pilot for a 2nd goon.

2.0 x 10^1 would be the scientific notation for 20.
