Hello all,
I felt a need to comment on certian threads and rants of other people with my own rant.
Please take into account that I have read other threads regarding Gamey tactics and the like, but I wanted to throw my 2 cents into the matter without getting buried in another post. I am also well aware that these are my own opinions, and will probably be flamed faster than a Sherman facing a King Tiger, but so be it.
In my opinion, there are NO such thing as a gamey tactic.
Do you think that the Britsh found it gamey that the American revolutionarys did not stand in line? Do you think that the early WWII comanders found it gamey that the German Blitzkrieg did not hunker down behind long trenches? Do you think folks found it gamey to arm bi-planes in WWI?
No, tactics always change.
Now granted, taking a crew of a diabled HT, and assaulting a tank is a bit much, but after all, THIS IS A GAME.
BTS has given us one of the best GAMES ever to be produced on a PC.
If this was to be a true representation of WWII, only a select few of us would ever play with a King Tiger, and once they were destroyed they would not be seen again.
"Gamey" tactis are to be planned for and expected from people who are trying to win GAMES.
If you dont want a crew attacking something important, kill them.
Cover your tanks with infantry support.
Do different things. Expect the unexpected. If you dont, dont whine about it.
Please note that I buy my PBEM troops as realistically as I can, without being a history major.
Ok, I feel better now.
If you are going to flame me, please do it with classs and style.
