jeeps and planes

[ThanhSa|Seirrah]

Lovely jubbly.

But considering there aren't any other pieces of US equipment floating about (I'm expecting some dodgy piece of web-mined trivia now) I think a jeep would be out of place.

Umm, Jeeps are American

Next...

So is McDonalds, but that don't stop the euros from ordering a Royale with Cheese.

J/K, I have to agree, jeeps have no place in RO. Planes have been a part of RO for a very long time. I actually remember when they were first implemented.

Nah, its the abomination McDonalds want's to sell to us labelled as "cheese" which stops us

/me takes opportunity to bust out old-style pic of RO-Aksay and its Stuka bombings.

Yes, it is possible to create trigger-driven programmed airplanes in RO. These stukas were movers that were synched up with artillery drops and sound actors (including a Stuka siren) to make it appear as if they were bombing. They would hit 1 of 3 random areas when they bombed.

omfg, sweet, never seen that map

 

[Jack]

LOL, yeah good old Aksay. Actually, I never found it that good. Everyone running across a frozen lake/river, sliding like in a cartoon, it was too funny to be serious.

 

[Zell]

That and it was pretty unbalanced. Only one side having a sniper and all that...

The only think that I don't like in Aksay is how the ice is behaving in the near where it is joining the terrain. Sometime pretty funneh movements can be seen there

It is also a map where you can have pretty much fun blowing tanks with sachtel

I think it may be best to see how RO:O looks and feel's regarding getting into the action... I dont know what scale some of the maps are at (Kalanin size? Barashka size? Bigger or smaller?) and how moving troops will be handled...

So I think its best to be patient, and once we play the game, we can critique it. And if certain element's are not to snuff for some of us more anal-retentive (not ment as an insult) members, then we can bug the dev's to resolve the problem in a patch/add on... preferably by buying more copies or RO:O... at least I know that would make them more likely to work something out.

How else would you run across ice? Last time I checked Crampons weren't standard issue on the Eastern front.

Remember: it was 1 German sniper vs. the Russians having some serious high ground.

Yeah, satchels were fun on there. I think it was also the first map to give the sappers / tankers another option besides SMGs (at least I hadn't seen one yet). I decided to give them Kar98's or Mosin 1938's so they'd stand a chance in the long-range firefights.
