Combatintman - gratitude isn't your strong point, is it, or did you want me to never bother trying to help anyone understand tactical systems again? Why not ask a coherent question?

That was about the worst imaginable response I could have dreamed up. It looks like you just saw the length of the post, read nothing, made up a complaint, reposted it, and asked to understand WWII combat inside a twitter tweat because your brain can't take in more. Hint, this is not the way to get a constructive response. You only have to read it. I had to write it, and before that to know it and understand what was required to explain it pretty rapidly. And your complaint is that reading it is too hard?

Trust me, you won't ever learn tactical methods with that amount of focus and attention span. Don't bother trying, if this is as hard as you can try.

Brevity isn't your strong point is it, or did you want this to be a one post thread?
 
There isn't too much to disagree with but I'm not seeing much here that I can directly apply to a QB, scenario or campaign, why not try breaking this up a bit into manageable chunks?

I get what you are trying to accomplish and you even have a valid reason to want to see changes: having cowering less "the world is coming to and end" and be more "crap that was close" is a good thing to want.  Same for buddy aid.  We have heard from some that kneeling to provide aid is SOP but I can see an argument for those giving buddy aid to tailor their stance to fit the situation at hand.
 
 
So, I cannot find a statement by Steve or Phil to clarify it once and for all but I am sure I read it once.  I can offer that I am not the only one that thinks the the polygons for the models *are* the hit box for soldiers (and everything else BTW): http://community.battlefront.com/topic/105664-representation-of-squad/#entry1386904and http://community.battlefront.com/topic/97033-two-stoopid-things-the-problem-with-realism/#entry1270199
 
It makes no sense to track geometry and hit boxes that are separate from the model.  The model is there - use it.  With your change is it creates a separation between what I see on my machine when I play again against you and what you see on yours.  The big problem is that it will change the behaviour of the game depending on who's machine generates the turn results.

So you are now the one who decides what kind of posts is allowed ?
Please stop this childish behavior.
What i posted was a question about a possible fix in the Bulge game, its perfect on-topic !

Because i think your post is really rude toward me (calling me a attention deprived child) i reported it.

I think that actually was a positive response.  At least I choose to take it that way in lieu of anything telling me different.

This is a fine information source directly relevant to CMBS and the equipment currentlt porttryed or whichich might be included in the future. Thanks for shasring it with us John

John, you really have no idea what a savage flaming campaign is. What Wicky has written about you is something I would never, ever characterize as savage. 

Well written, John. The "hater" vibe this board has taken on recently has not originated with you.
 
Sure makes me pine for JasonC's posts from the days of old!

Wicky,
 
You've been all over me of late, to include your deliberate baiting of me, despite numerous direct requests from me that you stop doing so, in a thread I started specifically to appease others who were complaining that I'd made too many posts. You knew full well when you did it that I wasn't allowed to so much as mention the things you brought up. Additionally it's readily demonstrable that you've been on me for years. I called you no name whatsoever. Rather, I addressed the behavior of both you and LukeFF. It's very ironic that you savage me over and over again with no thought whatsoever for me, my feelings, or even the effects your savage campaign has had on me and my creaky and fragile health. I'm not supposed to be stressed, you know this, yet you deliberately do things which cause me great stress. If you ever said something about your family and sensitivities related thereto, I must've missed it. That you should complain about being insulted after what you've been doing to me for a very long time is rich beyond words. Lying about me is okay with you. Slandering me is okay with you. Deliberately mischaracterizing me is okay with you. Conducting character assassination of me is okay with you. This set of observations must be true, because you've done, and continue to do, all those things and more. I've done everything but stand on my head to get you to behave appropriately toward me, but you won't do it. You might back off briefly, but that's all. Yet you're demonstrably capable of being socially appropriate with other Forumites. But you insist on coming at me like a rabid dog.
 
Now, let me set you straight. Steve never gave me an infraction. I got one from Moon over a year ago because you, in your typical perverse style, went over to a place I must not name, came back, made some outrageous set of accusations based on that, and I, placed once again in a situation in which I was under yet another vile attack from you, sought to defend myself by showing what was really said by me and got so worked up I inadvisedly posted a link to a certain place. That got me the Moon rocket, so to speak, because of the rule prohibiting commercial links. I worked my way eventually out of that. Steve has asked me in the past not to start posts on certain hot topics after you et al. went nuclear time and again in response to them. Nor have you ever let me off the hook for several technical mistakes I made regarding V-2 installations, mistakes I've several times publicly admitted. It has served you well in your endless efforts to discredit and humiliate me. You even went so far as to wreck a 2012 CMA thread in which several of us had a great discussion going on Russian lasers, one in which there was a serious military-technical discussion being conducted. Since any topic along the lines you know quite well automatically led to enormous Forum upheaval from you et al.,, Steve, in my estimation, decided to avoid future board explosions by not having certain things discussed. That's his prerogative. As the old SEAL Team Six saying goes "Thou hast not to like it, thou just hath to do it." Which is what I've been doing ever since.
 
Thus, I am in full compliance with the Forum Rules, and I rigorously honor Steve's request. Additionally, and with no rule existing requiring me to do so, I'm not allowed to so much as mention a certain endeavor of mine quite well known to you.  That's from ChrisND, I deem it unfair, but there's nothing I can do about it. So now, I'm under the Forum Rules plus two other strictures. I got the warning because, and again not from any rule violation, I dared to state that information of a category I'm not allowed to state anymore (unless, per Steve's statement, I publicly provide my sources) confirmed a certain widely viewed YT vid. Again, I violated no  Forum Rules and was shocked to get a Warning out of the blue. Thus, you go around breaking Forum Rules like twigs, go way out of your way to conduct a broad array of prohibited direct and indirect ad hominem attacks against me, make my life, both on the Forums and at home, very stressful and unpleasant. Because of you and your (insert strong pejorative here) ilk, I'm now forced to operate as though I'm walking in pitch black, on thin ice. Heavily mined thin ice. Practically afraid to sneeze. Unless and until someone at BFC starts subjecting you and certain others to the same standards which have practically stifled me for some time now, you get to operate without a care in the world while I, despite disabilities, a brain injury from which I'm recuperating, and a bunch of other things, have to always exercise profound care what I over say and how I say it. Else, I'll be gone, not you and your brethren. Which, I have to say, very much appears to be your real objective in assailing me the way you do. 
 
Frankly, Wicky, for you to come at me as an injured, aggrieved innocent party is like the boy who murdered everyone in his family and when arrested, brought to trial and convicted, threw himself on the mercy of the Court. Why? On the grounds he was now an orphan! You have led a very charmed life on the Forums, and by any reasonable review of the vast evidence of your ongoing malefactions, ought long ago, in my considered view, to have been banished for good. Why you're still here is a great mystery to me.
 
Regards,
 
John Kettler 

since when have you become a moderator? You behaviour towards JK seems to be verging on stalking IMO. Does you no credit.
A football phrase comes to mind "play the ball not the man"

The forum has rules.  Please familiarise yourself with them.  The abusive personalities section might interest you most:
 
7. Baiter - someone who purposefully goads another Member into a violation. People who make a habit of trying to needle someone into doing something they ordinarily wouldn't do are a detriment to the sense of community and therefore will be held accountable for their actions. That being said, Members are still responsible for how they respond to a Baiter, therefore it is possible that both parties will find themselves banned (though perhaps for different durations).

You've been spending too much time around Kettler.

The reason for this thread is that John's good intentions, prolific reading and general enthusiasm for BFC games has drawn criticism from other forum members who don't share John's degree of wonderment with the world at large.
 
My opinion is that John should just say something like "Suck it up, princess" in response to the other posters' criticisms, but the apparent level of catharsis it brings him from 'brain dumping' in this forum keeps him wary of being banned or something, and thus on his back foot, and leads him to put too great of a weighting to others' negative opinions.
 
In summary, keep posting, John! Either in this thread or in the forum at large. Whatever works.

+1. Lame.
 
He's got a reputation score of 49, of which 9 are from him voting up his own posts.

Ah, you're always a good source of (absurd) humor, Jonnie. 

Michael you have no idea what a sacred place this forum is in this regard. On some other forums the average poster is angry, tired and drunk!
 
EDIT:
 
LukeFF upvoting your own posts in response to someone downvoting them is lame. Also i agree with Desertor. Just dont read Johns posts if you are not interested. I dont read 90% of them either.

There is a difference between the USA and Amerikans. I think most Amerikans are like everybody else... no problem with people minding their own business. But this is not the same thing as the USA, which is the state government. I do not want to sidetrack this conversation, but there is evidence to suggest that the USA (as a state) would like to once again have possession of Russia and it's resources as it once did under Yeltsin. I think USA is stupid enough to try.

Yes, BFC gets a big "D-" report card for their non-US shipping costs. Ridiculous when other publishers haven't got a problem shipping a package across a border for a sane rate.

Thanks - but I suddenly realised that I do want some kind of early access - I want to be able to pre-order the freaking digital copy - so I don't spend a tortuous few hours listening to those who don't have stupid postal costs playing the game before I do. Arggghhhh     :angry:
