Kinda right on par with driving 15 minutes to a town and get one bomb dropped by a plane flying over and you never got close enough to take one gun or building down. Sux doesn't it  :noid

As long as you can kill hangars I think Wirbs are fine just like they are.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Oh...SNEAKY :D New name...HMM

LOL, yes but wasn't planned to be sneaky.  The login and profile had changed since I stopped my subscription last February so when I came back in I just re-subbed with a new account.  Started with no perks and just took it from there.  I still go to ww2 online usually early hours to catch my fellow krauts online and play Infantry, then go on AH afternoons and evenings.  The 'boss' told me I could play both subs if I was good.
See you on the field friend, just remember I like the eggs over easy on my M4.  :banana:

It was a tossup between ground pounder and mud slogger (as you can see by a pic from my unit  A 5/12th Inf in '68) since it seemed my outfit spent almost as much time treading water as hitting the dirt.

Remember when the Wirbelwind was introduced? The turret rotation speed was twice as high as it is today, and fighters danced in front of it as it were just a different type of Ostwind.
Wreckages really piled up on bases in these first weeks.  :devil

My issue is their frequency of use.


Well then, why not alter the frequency of use of all planes and vehicles... lets say, each plane or vehicle may
only be used 2x in a 24hr period... will that suffice?

Whirbels are tough but, vulnerable.  Adapt your tactics and deal with them.  :aok

I would like to see the shut down distance counter increased for these... 1000?? 1500?? I don't know... 600 is just murder when those who cause a post like this are in wait.... Many times they are used in nefarious ways because they are invisible ...sure once they fire they are spotted but to stay out of range trying to spot them again is difficult... unless there are a few of you.... most times there is a get that wirb call after it has picked off a bunch of people trying to enjoy a good dog fight....

There are guys who use that as a tactic too... when you are chasing down a con he knows it is there... but you just see wirb D600 ... and unless I am in that wirb...you are pretty much toast..

Just my opinion on it.... It isn't really going to stop me playing if nothing changes...but things like this do impinge on how often I can be bothered
