    Is this considered gamey or not?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    oh, this is something I do, is it gamey? nobody accused me, but just wondering

    The German 251/1 does not have a gunner, so when a tank or vehicle of mine gets knocked out, I rescue the crew with a 251/1 and have the crew be the gunner on the HT. I thought it seems a little iffy, but is darn useful.

    I dont have a "crew platoon" mount a pistol offensive or anything, just man the halftracks.

    So I started a QB ME, huge map, large battle, as advertised in a thread I previously started.

    My opponenent, "PzKfW", chose Germans so I chose USA. After File 021 she stopped sending turns, a couple days go by and I send a PM, "giving up already?"

    She replies "Wasn't quite gamey enough for me. You know, facing a completely 76mm Sherman army with heavy arty in support. Lol. Shoulda known"

    I was dismayed to hear my force selection was being called "gamey". I picked only 3 Sherman 76mm tanks, 2 Stuarts a few troop transport halftracks and an understrength Battalion of men, the battalion comes with 81mm and 60mm mortars, my so called "heavy arty".

    She fielded at least 3 JPz IV tank hunters, at least 3 troop transport halftracks and 4 trucks plus an unknown amount of troops.

    I started off ok, then I knocked out a JPz IV with a side shot by a Stuart and the files stopped coming.

    Please, honestly tell me, was I being gamey in my picks or is "PzKfW" a whiney, sore loser that is experiencing her time of the month?

    Thanks for your input,

    JP

    What, in your opinion, is not working properly right now?

    The only way I ever play this game is QB PBEM. It is currently broken. The stuck at 5% loading thing.

    That is not working properly.

    Yeah, there may be a work around, but I am sick of game companies putting out broken buggy products and taking my money. *BFC is far better than most, don't think I am bashing them overly hard here, but... my $10 v2.0 upgrade does not do the one thing I bought it to do.

    What is it about consumers of games that settle for buggy products?

    People would not accept a car that would not start unless you did a work around by first opening and closing the hood twice, or a pen that would not write unless you held it over a candle before each use, or a DVD player that you had to stick a paper clip in to make the DVD tray open, so why do we as consumers let games be of a lower standard at their initial release? The game I was most recently let down with was Sword of the Stars II.

    Again, BFC is far better than most...and I am confident that all will be patched and great... in time, but why release the thing if it was not ready for prime time?

    Am I being too demanding of a consumer to ask that all features of a product work as advertised?

    Lens Flare

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I have always wondered what is the point of lens flare effects. Our eyes don't suffer from lens flare. So that effect is telling us, you are not there, you just look trough a camera, or maybe you have bad quality glasses on...

    LOL! I love it. Maybe you could be there but have cataracs?
