Patton21 Posted June 15, 2003 Author Share Posted June 15, 2003 Wow, i just wanted an answer to my question. Im not saying there is a problem in the game. Calm down bastabal's I think you are a little drunk or hyper crazy. I just wanted a nice discussion on the damage done to guns. I did not insult the game or your mother.

No you did not quite state that Patton21, you stated that light tank aka "FlaK" guns are causing gun damage when they should not. By Patton21: I flak gun should not be able to damage a heavy tanks gun. Whats up with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patton21 Posted June 15, 2003 Author Share Posted June 15, 2003 Ahhh, you dont give up!!! I did not know why flak guns were causing my tanks to get damaged then bail out. What does [/QB] mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does mean? [/QB]You chose to believe that small calibre weapons should not cause "gun damage." As to why panicked crew would wish to jump out of a damaged veh that's still under fire, I propose you do a search on this board. The [/QB] bit is a manifestation of my lack of control with BB functions [ June 15, 2003, 01:07 AM: Message edited by: Bastables ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Witness, folks, a classic case of two people talking at each other rather than to each other. If any communication occurs at all, it consists of nothing more than the message "I don't like you" repeated over and over. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Possibly I agree though it appears a difference in one's premise, ie this is a Forum disussing the historical accuracy of a game simulating WWII combat versus one where one's opinion on what should be counts more than any sort of history. While Patton21 was innocent in his original question and would probably have come to understand the reasoning, ie Bastable's reports, if he so desired, Pantherbait's trolls have only served to muddy the issue, as trolls are want to do, all too frequently it seems.

Bastables Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Originally posted by Pantherbait: LOL, classic. Sorry to take your time.......I'm sure you could have used it more productively with your self-appointed crusade, in other threads. p.s. I made my point over and over in this thread. If you're to dense to see it,as it appears, my stating it another few times won't help. [/QB]So again you've either had no point from the start, or it is so stunningly complex that you are unable to put it across. Aka As ron has stated trolling. The only thing I see you doing thorough this thread has been advocating that unsubstantiated opinions should be left un-contested, that and childish attempts at "turn about."

Moon Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I only skimmed through this, but it seems that the main question has been answered. Locking this up to prevent implosion Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
