Dan Weaver Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 When I looked at the kill count for one of my tracked Ferraris, er, Hellcats, I noticed that it had this entry: 2 Hotchkisss knocked out Now this is PLAINLY RIDICULOUS!! BTS is SO DUMB that they can't even get tank crews to use PROPER GRAMMAR!! Until BTS fixes this problem so that tank names ending in S have the proper plural suffix and I see HotchkissES, I am going to HIDE MY BTS CD IN A DARK CLOSET!! AND FURTHERMORE I AM GOING TO SIT ON MY BED AND CRY!! AND MY TANKS ENGAGE CREWS WHINE WHINE FART!!!!!! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark IV Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 Hotchkissen, rather. Anyway, YOU misspelled "!!!!!!!!!11!!!~!". See any of Madmatt's posts for the correct spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Germanboy Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 Actually, all of you have no clue (so what else is new), and I have the explanation and am therefore the sole purveyor of truth (so what else is new). In fact, the authorities in the realm of St.Katharina, a little known rogue state on the edge of what once was the mighty Soviet empire have deigned that the correct plural (Hotchkisses) sounds too much like Hot Kisses and have informed BTS that CM would be banned for pornography and inciting youngsters to vile acts (possible penalty of mutilation, public display and pelting with rotten tomatoes, you can only apply for pardon to their president Georgios W. Buskidos, so that won't work), and BTS, realising that not only various body parts but also sales in what would be the 1,978th most important market to BTS (1 possible pre-order of CM2) would be jeopardised decided to go for the grammatically incorrect but safe version seen in the game. It is not a bug, but unfortunately a necessity. Quite unlike some other things we are currently discussing in other threads, pertaining to the availability of rodent troops, or better, the lack of it. So there. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any tank was sexiER than the Tiger, that would make it sexy to some degree more than not-sexy-at-all, which doesn't seem right. Can't say I've ever been left drooling by noisy lump of metal the size of a house. Whatever takes your fancy... =) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only units who have a proven record of taking out them tall, dark and handsome dead guys. However, if some Chinchilla Commandoes are available I would use them.
