I think the Focke Wulf 190 should have been included as it is technically superior to most of the planes mentioned. And we can't have Stukas (bombers) being compared to fighter aircraft. If they are then why not give the DC10 which never carried a weapon a mention.
I'm not part of it and will still be interested in the result, but I admire the stewardship of the competition and the enforcement of rules designed to eliminate unfair play of all kinds.
Not much can be done to correct the imbalance so it's something that has to be lived with, but in sumarry
Reason 1) gives Allies a built in strategic bonus.
Reason 2) gives Allies who know about it a tactical advantage.
Reason 3) gives Allies a tactical advantage that converts into a strategic advantage.
Arkos I will play you 1vs1 on your servers Aberdeen map. No other map has ever interested me because I find it perfect, except for the advantages that favor Allied team. However, in 1vs1 these are largely negated. Having said this, I don't want the post thread to be a messaging service for me to play members 1vs1 (that can be done with a PM). I would rather the discussion was on the subject.
My observations after years of playing Aberdeen are that there is a map imbalance that favors Allied over Axis. For map/flag locations I am using the Axis perspective/view to describe the Axis/Allied "home flags" being the ones they are expected to control or naturally "belonging" to them.
Reasons:
1) The middle of the map with the center flag which is usually key to victory is much more easily defended for Allies than Axis because of the terrain on the Allied side of the city blocks is flat whereas on the opposite Axis side of the city blocks the terrain is uneven. Also, the rearmost city block which houses the ammunition lockers both below and above on the upper floor is on a raised platform of terrain with a flat surface on the Allied side. This gives a stable platform, cover, ammunition resupply for Allied tanks defending, and a clear view of Axis West flag to shoot at. Axis has no equivalent building on their side of the city.
2) Above and behind Axis West flag is far safer ambush point than it is for Axis tanks above and behind Allied East flag - Allied tanks can vulture on West flag knowing the terrain to their right flank (the direction flow of Axis tanks leaving base) shields them, whereas Axis tanks that attempt to vulture Allied East flag have their rear exposed to the flow of Allied tanks leaving base.
3) Allies can capture Axis South flag from the pad. And Axis West flag, from the pad. This cannot be done by Axis to either Allied North flag, or East flag.
What was once a huge sector of the video games market disappeared with Command & Conquer's last gasp. I still enjoy playing some 20 year old RTS games, from the golden period, and I've been hoping for a long time now that strategy games (not turn based animie fantasy dungeon elves and orcs) might return. Alas, I think now it's unlikely. The only conclusion I can make of this, is that during that golden period of RTS games the graphics and performance matched the hardware capabilities. Soon the hardware outstripped the software in terms of delivering a better looking experience and the genre died off because it could not move forward and advance in the same way that FPS games could.
Here is my vote for the best free RTS game from the golden period that was a very uderrated and overlooked by Command & Conquer's market swamp, but still superior in every single way from graphics to gameplay to depth and freedom to construct.
Warzone 2100
This was where RTS games should have gone instead of Command & Conquer's dead end.
Sorry nameless but I'm not a team player. Thanks for the request.
I wont be joining because there is no 1vs1. And most of the maps aren't as good as Aberdeen. To be a fly on the wall? Maybe.
I am all in favor Tank Ladder especially if it's 1vs1 and 2vs2. I actually think it would present some interesting propositions. For example the winner of the 1vs1 automatically goes through to the 2vs2 ladder and may end up being paired with the player they beat in the 1vs1, and such like inevitable quirks that always throw themselves up in competitions. I do think it wrong to try and ressurect BFLeague since there really is only 2 BF1942 servers thesedays and Team Simple is one of those. Team Simple is also the only server that runs a constant dedicated Aberdeen Tank map. So it makes more sense to create that competition internally from Team Simple forum members who all have something to say and I don't doubt their tanking ability even if they are not names I recognize as regulars on Aberdeen. It also means players involved cannot use aliases and hide under assumed identities for whatever reason that might be. As someone else has already pointed out over a year ago Tuia made a thread post inviting this very thing within Team Simple, it generated interest (I note from the usual responders to this subject), then went cold. Maybe it's time to dig that old post up and revive it and create an in house Team Simple rolling competition with with year end results.
I don't know what Twitch is could be a social media thing but I've got fanboys on BF1942 stalking me - under aliases. Maybe they need the disguise because they are cheats, or maybe they need the disguise until they win, in which case they announce who they are. I have admitted too many losses on this forum that is a matter of record.
I don't remember being beaten by you Whoopz. Not because I wasn't beaten. But because you don't use your real name. We can only guess why.
I agree 2 points is not over generous and perhaps 1 point is too little. Shall we see how it works out with some time and feedback on the matter before it's finalised?
Well I have just noticed Simple Tanks a Lot Aberdeen server seems to have been adjusted so that only 1 point is awarded for a flag capture. Whoever did it thank you. This should make Tanks a Lot Aberdeen a bit more interesting. As for other maps that are not tank vs tank based like Aberdeen is, can this or should it be implemented and to what degree? I play almost exclusively Aberdeen since the map existed, so my opinion on changes to the points/flags system of infantry maps may not be as valid as some of you out there who are infantry veterans. I do like {Phantom}'s mention of BF Vietnam awarding 1 point for greying a flag and a further point for capture. It's a shame it's not an option on BF1942 as that would make for more dynamics for specific maps. Any thoughts on other maps seeing similar changes?
Time 2 to 3am Sunday night
Location Simple Tanks A Lot Aberdeen
Suspects "a milli" and partner "BFSoldier"
Crimes glitching map hacking and conspiracy to cheat
Witnesses at least half a dozen with 2 known regulars "DM25" and "al"
Be on the lookout for two criminals probably related to eachother with a common interest in foul play
I didn't realize that (Phantom), it's more equitable. Any modders out there know if this can be done with BF1942?
2 for a flag 1 for a kill would be fairer, but to stop the flag mobbing by team mates 1 point for a flag and 1 for a kill might encourage some of them to abandon a feed at the flag points trough and seek out enemies for kills.
They are spraying the skies with chemicals out of planes and the sun is no longer yellow or golden, it's white like an LED light.
Cern is built on top of an ancient pagan temple Abbadon. The gates of hell. They want to open the portal to allow into our dimension entities from another, the bottomless pit where they are locked up. And Cern is the key to it. They will use a D-wave computer to control the portal to let them in. What they are practising is not science but the occult.
Hitler relatively short compared to Slavic people in height, black hair, brown eyes. Actually they were blue a lot of people assume they were brown because they haven't studied a color photo of Hitler or read an authoritative biography they prefer to believe the Hitler Haters. So as a package Hitler did not live up to the "Aryan Ideal" but he had plans to breed Europeans into show winning dogs with desired attributes. There were more blond haired blue eyed Russians than Germans and there probably still are but they faced the full force. Was this to do with the political ideology of his enemy or the race characteristics.
Yeah it's just normal the same way it's normal that male models get paid a fraction of what female models in the fashion industry do but no one cares maybe they will care when Socialism takes over the U.S and real equality is enforced I don't know how you ladies feel about 50% of the sewer and garbage disposal "operatives" being mandatory female but this world they are trying to create is artificial and forced because the whole idea is to enslave everyone in identity politics so they can divide and rule forgetting one thing - the majority don't want it it's imposed on them by the minority. Their day will come, only not in the way they think it will.
Yeah I know what "I'm not going to the fucking White House" means it means "We're not going to the fucking White House" which just shows how selfish and motivated by an agenda she is that the whole team have to give up the chance of going to the White House so she can make a politically motivated point. I don't know how many of the team are dykes but the one in charge is making everyone's decision for them but no matter. She's a perfect example of what's going wrong. Her unilateral action will backfire because most Americans are not only proud of their country but America has always liked a winner. She's the loser. And she just made it harder for womens football to be taken seriously so well done dyke, you've set the womens game back years with your identity politics because hardly anyone cared before and even less do now.
Whatever it calls itself or decides to be on any given day is what it is whether that's a man a woman or something inbbetween it's not a football player it's a walking talking politically motivated social justice warrior who wants their agenda put into the sport. And before you bang on too much about achievement keep in mind that the U.S under 15 boys team beat Rapinghoe's side 5 - 2 in a game played last year. 14 year old boys can beat them with ease. They want equal pay? I guess they can be paid the same as a paperboy or given some pocket money for chores.
And he's turned down a team invitation to the White House. That's what happens when you make the Captain a dyke. He should be a goalkeeper, they don't let the balls in.
Men don't care about womens football especially if the captain is a dyke or any other womens sport unless there is a sexually attractive woman taking part. I'm pretty sure most women who do bother to watch sport aren't interested in events where fat men crash into eachother or strain like they are taking a shit to lift or throw something. At least there is something for everyone in tennis, even though it's not a sport it's just a stupid game.
There is one at the center of every galaxy so they should be really easy to find instead of so elusive. They keep eating and getting bigger so in theory it will end up with one big black hole that eats the universe. What happens then? That's when the black hole explodes which explains what my contempories in the field of quack science call "The Big Bang". As to which came first, the black hole or the big bang, that is something even I do not know nor wish to waste time speculating on. Or dark energy. Or dark matter for that matter.
If black holes spew stuff out then obviously not everything can be trapped by a black hole. As for proof the picture looks like poor a quality glazed donut image. Only the physics for black holes exist, and if they are true then my theory which much like theirs hasn't been proven is that you go into one as fast as you can the speed of light and come out somewhere else in this universe or another one altogether. How do they know you don't go into one and come out the other side assembled the same way a Star Trek transporter works? As for the best Captain there is no contest. It's Kirk. Captain James Tiberius Kirk no less.
I became suspicious of this fire when the news coverage said officials had ruled our arson or deliberate destruction before the flames were even out. 30 minutes in they declared it was not arson. They cannot know this and would never say such a thing until a full inquiry had taken place. Secondly, the cathedral was undergoing renovations and the scaffolding for these renovations is still intact. I think during the attempted renovation they discovered that a rebuild would be cheaper than renovating 800 year oak. Thirdly, Micron the Puppident has been going through a rough time lately what with his Vest Protest and a fire that burns down a problem also helps solve the problem of uniting the French people under a commonly shared tragedy. Fourthly, and the one that seals the deal on this false flag for me is that Micron announced a contest to find a new design for the cathedral roof that embodies modern France, and we all know that means code for turning a cathedral into a mosque.
oh where is the show guys? ENTERTAIN US PLEASE!
Damn... i put all my money on Sepp... hmm wait no 50/50 on Deeko also.. damn.. i have to do my homework :
brb > me is off to gametracker and bf stats.
Never checked those. Pretty sure my name will be there. As for deeko? he has a million and one names. Don't know why. Far be it from me to suggest that reason might be camofalgue but one can only wonder.
I'm pretty sure a D-Wave can handle passwords that haven't even been used yet. Science wont admit that it has more in common with majick than it wants to.
Yes Joint, it will need assistance from a couple of volunteer neutrals preferably Admins. If the new software mentioned above does not arrive by the end of April then I will remove the post topic until it is in place so that the forum does not get occupied uneccessarily.
