More like stumbling to strawmen.

Huh. Because this:

Not swearing shows lack of emotion or a non healthy form of self suppression.

supposedly isn't?

And now the argument is 'realism', as well.

Pilots in WWII (as today) practiced specific radio terms and procedures both in and out of combat. This was to cut down on confusion and foster efficiency. I've no doubt that some or even most cussed - but it wasn't broadcasted to the rest of the squadron or group. For realism sake, you shouldn't hear a squeaker use colorful language on vox anymore than you should hear a codger go on about what spark plug his mower uses. For realism sake, there shouldn't be a buffer text to type in, at all, and if you didn't have a headset it simulates that your radio is out. Cuss at your walls, if you feel the need for such 'realism.'

You are so not winning this argument over the masses. But then, you can't make a good argument out of a false premise. :aok

Don't let your emotions run you over like that. You're confusing the quote and the poster already. Calm down before you bust a vein, man!

I don't see how this helps the business.

I do see how it hurts the business.

I'm in my mid 30's and I feel that Aces High is overly family friendly.  I understand that this is Dale's game to do with as he pleases but I don't think that Dale understands that most people outside of Texas like to express themselves at least a little more than we are currently allowed.

I would also like to point out that I have not heard a child's voice in game since about 2010.

I find it ironic that we are encouraged to shoot virtual bullets into virtual pilots but our language can't be any coarser than the word 'Heck or Dang' because that would be obscene.

People who play MMO's have certain expectations, like being able to swear without something equivalent to a nun immediately hitting our hands with a yard stick.


 :rofl

Never heard winners* swear in AH, only losers. Win more, swear less. If anyone would want to know how much you suck, he/she could check your stats. No need to hear your obscene whines every single time you get spanked.

* - certain exceptions apply
