is coming spelt with 1 m and not 2?

I'd resub just as a vote for rolling back the servers. Probably wouldn't even play the game.

I just visited some relatives of mine that live in another state that I do. I went with them to visit a friend of theirs who sits in his giant basement and plays with his toy trains all day. He runs simulated "cargo" runs, and has to complete his route.... And you think MMORPG Gamers are bad

Are MATs that drop in zones and from NPCs that are greyed out still insanely hard to come by?

I couldn't take trying to skill up in tradeskills and not have any grease available to me.

Not the only reason why I'm not playing AA atm, but one of the biggest by far.

Another way to take have a sure-fire take-off is to start your engines. hit the '/' key to unlock the tail wheel. Throttle up just a tad and hold either the left or right brake key ('z' or 'x'). When you are pointing to one of the ends of the airfield, lock the tailwheel, and taxi out to the end of the airfield. When you get to the edge of the tail field, apply the brakes. Before you come to a stop, unlock the tail wheel again and spin the plan around 180 degrees. Relock the tail wheel. Set the Engine RPM to max (']' twice). Adjust the trim up some ('l' key I think, this is one of the things I have set to my X45). Hold both brakes, throttle up, and enjoy the extra take off room as you race across the entire airfield.

damn nice shooting, whoever that is... Makes me want to resub for doing bofors work again. Love shooting that thing.

they won't sell it, that means they would have to admit they were wrong.  And from the sounds of it I got a better chance of growing t**s then they do of admitting their mistake.

By the way if I grew t**s I would never leave my house

I disagree with OP.  I would never say that penalties are a form of challenge.  Penalties are a form of danger.  There is no risk if nothing is lost.  While the penalties may vary from game to game, they are a required game mechanic to create danger in a game where the actual player suffers nothing from the toon's death.

Call me when there is Logistics for everyone not just the H.C.  Not interested in camel T.O.E.'s either.

I loved to AAA in game. The brigade rule changes made it pretty hard to stay alive as AAA, as it took away a lot of toys (tanks, recon vehicles) and increased the number of EI. I started dieing way too much to EI, even in the AB. Anyways, hope this helps...

I was really good with the bofors on the Allied planes. The Axis Flak30 is horsepoo, and I can't really comment at all on the Allied guns.

With the bofors, you must first realize that the round comes out of the barrel initially the the left of the center crosshairs, and as it travels will converge towards the centerline. So for planes that are coming in close on strafing runs, you want to aim a little right(? been awhile, might be left).

Also, note that the round drops quite a bit, which is normal. It's called trajectory. When shooting at long distance targets you will not only lead the plane, but also aim a bit higher.

With practice, you can nail a few grey circle planes every now and then. It is possible, and I've bagged a handful of grey circles (mostly bombers, but I did manage a Spit once).

WOW, your testitmonial sounds more like a veteran trying to get newbie players to try the game IMHO.

Hey, you mind if I put you on my xfire list? You keep it on all the time? Reason I ask? WW2 Online is listed on XFire, and it doesn't show up in your xfire game listings....

My brother has a few of the lightsabers, the snowspeeder, and the AT-AT. I need to tell him about the Y-Wing!

All are amazing.

EDIT: Note some states like my homestate of NY won't allow even toy guns, replica guns, and even replica movie prop sci-fi guns to be shipped there. So unfortunately, we can't get the blasters here.

yea... I know...

I'll probably still give it a whirl. I miss doing AAA duty in ABs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that before they pull the plug, that there will be a rollback in some regard. I just don't think LEC and SOE will just let it die. They'll come up with some lame excuse, "Oh we found a backup of the pre-NGE on some discs we had forgotten about," or some equally lame excuse.

Cause if they pull the plug, they can't bill anyone anymore. At least with a rollback, people are bound to come back. I think...

I would resub for a pre-CU or even a pre-NGE server just to increase the sub number by one to rub it into the idiots face who thought the NGE would work. I'd be willing to part with $15 for a few months to make a point.

You get rid of the HC and all of the features associated with them, and fix & work on the game mechanics (rudder fix, camauflage, foxholes, etc), and I know a slew of people who would come back, myself included.

Get over it the HC is always gonna be there.  If your waiting for the HC to be done away with then your in for a really long wait.

Forget all the advices here.

Here's what you do:

Find a squad with good and funny people and join them. Do your job with the squad and rank and skills will come to you as you're surrounded by supportive players.

hmm, maybe I'll check it out again.

are the HCs still in game???

if you're into ghost recon kind of stuff, I'd say stay away.

Yes you can do a lot of things, but there are ranks in game (ie; levels), and when you start out you are very limited to what you can do. Plus the world is very big, so walking to back areas to mess with people can take a long time walking. You really would need to get in game, and hook up with a squad to learn the game first.

Also, they Devs are constantly working to make the game a very good war simulator which means they are doing more and more to limit the total number of unit available, and where and when you can spawn. It allows for more action in general and makes it easier to find the action, but stealth recon kind of stuff I would think is a thing of days gone past. (btw, I haven't played in a good 6 months)
