    Oh, I know you weren't taking sides :D  I lost my patience with Carl for sure, probably because we just went through this "Battlefront is dead and I can prove it" nonsense a few weeks ago.  But my words were chosen carefully to fit the conditions and I think appropriate for them.  Unfortunately, it's sometimes necessary to speak the same language.

    No worries Steve ;-)

    No.  CarlWAW made a request for a feature and got turned down because I don't think it's worth spending the time on.  Instead of accepting that he decided to prove himself "right" by saying we're a failing company because we're not listening to him.  I have to make a good faith attempt to try and challenge his false assertions else someone might think CarlWAW has a clue what he's talking about and that we are a failing company.  Or I could just ban him and save myself a bunch of time, but that's not my first choice.

    Yup :D  You made a request for a feature, I explained why it wasn't a priority, you decided to trash Battlefront and me personally because you didn't get the answer you wanted.  So yup, you're the one that has the problem.

    My point exactly.  This should have been a simple matter of a feature request and accepting the answer.  But that's not how some people operate.  Sadly, I'm obligated to respond to the BS because if I don't it only gets worse.  That's 20 years of Forum moderation experience speaking.

    You are right Steve. You have answered his questions. 

    I also understand your frustration but felt you lost your cool slightly and could have used some different words. 

    I was not taking sides. I will leave it there. :-)

    Nah, if I were thin skinned I'd just ban you ;)  What you fail to understand is that I represent the interests of Battlefront and having someone spreading BS unchallenged in the virtual world tends to make the BS worse.  So not thin skinned, just aware of how social media works.

    This whole fight you're picking with us is cover for a fragile ego.  You made a suggestion, it got shot down.  Instead of accepting that you've decided to try to discredit the one who shot it down by "proving" that I'm wrong and you're right.  You're picking a fight you can not possibly win because I've already stated, very clearly, that we're not going to do what you want.  Which makes what you're doing now small, petty, and not a little bit vindictive.  It also makes you look like a right fool.  But hey, free speech and all that lets people dig their own holes and allows them to keep on digging if that's what they need to make themselves feel better.

    Why?  The numbers are meaningless without other data and knowledge.  I've already done what I need to do and that's to point out the obvious which, not surprisingly, you don't understand.

    Trying to sort out fact from fiction definitely makes me a bad guy.  The person spreading disinformation and negativity for his own personal needs is never to blame for anything.  I should know, I've seen this thousands of times.

    Oh good God... you move from one deadend, flawed argument to another.  If we didn't care about WeGo, guess what we'd do?  Remove it from the game.  But we haven't done that and never will, ergo we support it.

    You forgot to say "in my opinion".  You seem to forget that a lot.

    I'm not surprised you'd think that, what with that huge chip on your shoulder.  OF COURSE we understand there are big differences in play styles.  If we didn't, guess what?  We'd have nobody happy with either.  Sometimes we add features that cater to one form of play more than another, and it's absolutely not always in favor of RealTime.  But we also don't add things that we don't feel are worth our time to add, be it RealTime or WeGo.

    I bet as a child you threw some pretty epic tantrums when you didn't get what you want, because as an adult you're still doing a pretty good job of it.

    Look, it's this simple.  You made a suggestion and I said "no".  There's thousands of people making suggestions and we can't possibly implement all of them nor should we.  Do you know what would convince me that you're a well adjusted adult?  Accepting that you are but one person and your opinions are not more important than anybody else's and move on.  People might actually think better of you if you did.

    Steve

    P.S. don't think I didn't notice all the dodging you did when your wildly inaccurate claims were challenged.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that noted you walked away from all the stuff you pulled out of your backside.

    Bit rough this isn't it???

    I just saw a week or so ago a movie about how the Brits invented Radar ("Castles In The Sky").   It wasn't that gripping dramatically, but was interesting to learn about and see credit going to the correct people (who IIRC were officially "neglected" after the war as they didn't go to the right schools etc.).

    A year or two ago there was a movie about Turing who invented the computer (and was then hounded to suicide).  

    "Personally i think Britains war effort is being erased by hollywood."   Yes, that's my point.  The dominant culture gets to write/rewrite history to its own benefit.

    And the Poles are now making their claim as well:

    I see where you are coming from now Erwin..totally agree

    I mean that the films themselves are not that interesting.  But, they are creating a historical narrative for future generations as to who did/invented what when.  And even the U-Boat capture wasn't the whole Enigma story. It was the Poles who smuggled out parts of an Enigma machine to the Brits long b4 the U-Boat one was captured.  But, no movies about the Poles' brave efforts...  (yet...)

    I cant think of any recent movies made in the UK by the British with British money that are creating the narrative you suggest.

    Personally i think Britains war effort is being erased by hollywood.

    Wasnt the U-boat Enigma a complete machine and not parts?
