actually my recollection is that you are kind of both right. I'd have to dig up one of Steve's posts from way back in the early days of CMBN, but he went to great lengths to show why they are not able to do an actual pause while firing. IIRC it mostly had to do with what it would do to the AI in combat. Then again my memory has been known to be faulty. As to the ATG I suspect that is likely a different issue and reasoning, but perhaps not.

rotflmao!!! Love the comment about the map makers too. Gawd it would be funnier if it wasn't such a sad case of total social ineptitude.

I think the premise was that c3k essentially challenged anyone to stand against Russian SMG units in woods. I don't think Bil would have accepted a challenge to attack into them, but who knows maybe that will be the next one they do. I would expect that partly depends on how this turns out. c3k paid for that attack, but not dearly enough unless he keeps doing the same thing. I know what I'd be thinking to do right now if I was him and this line wouldn't hold.

I'd open a ticket with the helpdesk, really is your best first stop. Asking here is an invitation to allow us to run you in circles for weeks when it could be something stupidly simple

I love it, they both got lost in the woods for the past month. The true problem is being able to tell what day it is in those dark trackless primeval forests.

Niigata eh? So how spoiled on sake are you? I have been around quite a bit of southern Japan, but we keep talking about going north. Sounds like a good excuse. I'll keep you in mind next trip planning time

Ha I keep forgetting you are in Japan. Are you in Tokyo? I pass through at least once a year usually headed to Beppu.

It better while you are with your wife or your gonna be playing Combat Mission all night on the couch.

wow speak his name and he shows up. Kind of scary.

Pm him and send him the link and hopefully he can add in the same thread.

Actually searching the forum isn't quite that bad. 15 minutes can save you.. oh wait wrong ad. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?p=1524548#post1524548

That's actually kind of funny.

heh heh map maker humor.

we do (play the game) which is why there have been comments openly wondering what game Jason is playing as his descriptions of the content in RT are way out in left field. He has repeatedly been asked a real simple question and continues to dodge it. Then when examples of his own statements contradicting himself completely come up, he quickly ducks behind Oddball's skirts again (no intended offense oddball, it is just an expression). So Jason gets a pass for being abusive and dishonest based on whatever it is he has supposedly done for the community and everyone else gets lambasted for calling him on it? Sounds like a double standard. His behavior here should have you questioning what exactly is his contribution to the community. He is obviously dishonest. He either lashes out with some extremely snide bellicose comments with no actual content when asked to back up statements and then when caught in his own lies tries to dodge behind someone else. Is that the kind of contribution this community needs to defend? Face it, he is the classic internet bully. Unfortunately for him no one here is particularly intimidated and few feel tolerant of that behavior. Only thing I have learned from this is to start being more wary of what he says and make sure it can be validated by another source. I'd actually defended his participation during the Hamel Vallee AAR when another poster made some comment of his role. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showpost.php?p=1362757&postcount=150 I'd have taken a similar position again to maintain the nature of the AAR, but I can't say I feel so confident about Jason's participation.

Just so long as you don't try any recon by fire, that could be a bit difficult to explain.

Mind sharing? I don't and I'd really like to live my life vicariously though yours. :cool: That was a joke. Well at least an attempt at a joke.

I am not sure that is entirely true. My impression is while you don't take casualties, you can increase the suppression on your own troops. Just an impression I keep meaning to test. One more thing on the list.....

and when you are caught rifling through it's contents you claim you are doing "buddy aid".

you argue with the cop as to why you couldn't have reciprocal LOS with the car you just backed into muttering something about micro terrain.

LOL okay let me put that down... rants.... slysniper, May 3rd okay check. Thanks come back tomorrow if you'd like to rant again, we'll be serving coffee and donuts in the morning for the blood drive if you'd like to come by then. For what it is worth I agree, I wish they were separate. It feels too much like a game when you are calculating what you might have. Breaks the immersion.

One thing I have learned is to approach the enemy from a different angle than my suppressing units. Seems to make all the difference in the world. The enemy units that aren't staying suppressed tend to be focused towards my firing units, getting blind sided seems to work really well and is ooooh so gratifying. In other words the suppression is primarily to allow you to maneuver, don't expect it to have turned the enemy into cowering blobs of jelly especially around hedgerows. Cowering behind a hedgerow essentially makes them almost invulnerable to direct small arms fire.

Building your own is so much more fun AND you leave the store with all the right stuff. I am by no means a computer whiz, but I can follow basic directions and understand electrical connections. It isn't rocket science. I am now 3 years into the machine I built and it hasn't given me any issues. I am beginning to thing of upgrading some components though.

... when you try to ambush the pizza delivery guy, but you are in hide mode. He is standing over you looking quizzically and asking did you order the pepperoni.

...when you are in the supermarket pushing your cart and you start moving it like an AT gun crew.

Iwallace79 did not actually say ban, but damn that would be an interesting 1st post. I'd have to agree with others, banning is a bit extreme. Yes he posts in an obnoxious, dull witted manner with a level of angry infantile rhetoric that is hard to fathom, but that is far from the worst we've had here. BF has a strong distaste for censoring to that degree. They would prefer it seems we handle ourselves like adults and sometimes that simply means ignoring the blowhard in the room. Any blowhard.. me included - I have had a few stellar moments here. What I think is most reprehensible is for Jason to provide advice to BG to up the strength of his German units in a scenario to potentially include Tigers in March and then here to label him as another German Armor fetishist over probably the exact same scenario for having any armor at all. It is at best deceitful. If he were adult enough he'd come right out and apologize to BG, confess that it was over the top and then suggest we forget all this and move on and maybe let Oddball have his thread back. I'd vote in favor of that.
