You're welcome.

Posting at 2am? Are you chained to your desk or something?

Although, in clegs honor i have decided to rough it out with him and grow my ass hair until you guys ship. I will happily come down to SOE for a momentous trimming event?

Out at sea aircraft have no terrain to hide behind, block missile lock-ons or to land on and repair. And don't forget submarines.

WWII Online has had Naval warfare for years now and it is a very useful way of attacking and defending coastal towns and cities whether it be in the sea or in rivers. I've been shot down dozens of times trying to divebomb destroyers, but when you do actually deal the lethal blow and the ship begins to sink very slowly, the sense of accomplishment is great.

On the other hand, having a half dozen or so guns on a destroyer and parking in a strategic location by an opposing town, you can lay waste to buildings and ground units. Then you throw in a bunch of aaa guns and you can create an air show shooting at opposing aircraft.

That being said, the graphics havent held up too well in wwii online so I can see how that is a major turn off to lots of people, but mechanics and gameplay remain amazing to this day if you ask me.

Where I'm getting is; naval warfare can mold amazingly well into combat if done correctly. I'm not saying its a dealbreaker if there's no water action, but it would be a bit of a letdown seeing as so many other games out there today use boats and ships.

Peer pressure pays off once again.

One of us! One of us! One of us!

and BF (1942) had them as well.
How they ended up as stationary object in the sequels was a reall let down.
Sinking one was fun, but they were UP there.

Giving them good artillery (perhaps easy to use) and good AA would make naval battles interesting.

Bring some harbor/island (with no bridges) styled bases and they can be of great asset.
Or imagine Venice with bigger waterways

A sample video to give you an idea of ships vs. aircraft. Not the greatest video but an example nonetheless.

Love water. Please make it happen at one point. Thanks.

So we can just stop talking about it now.

Love youuuuuuuu

Dreams down the drain.

I felt like I missed out on hairpocalypse being swamped with work, and since I'll basically be living in a cave (the office) until we ship anyways. Why not look like a Sasquatch.

So there ya go, don't listen to Higby's troll attempts, I love the community a lot, you guys know this.

Here's to not cutting till ship

That's the spirit

I hope water makes it in, it was such an aesthetically nice way to break up the landscapes. On the other hand the landscapes look stunning as it is, but it will feel odd not having a watery border at the edges of the conts

Update: My hair is starting to really fro out. People at work are looking at me funny. I don't think everybody here at the office knows whats going on so they just think I'm a weirdo that wont cut his hair haha.

Anyways here's a photo!
