I don't like it

A good moment in British Submarine history...

I was about 2 seconds away from purchasing "one of our submarines' but decided on another. I will grab this one first in the long list of other countries and their submarine service.

Yeah, you're insulting a massive portion of gaming genre.

Brilliant idea.

Not all shooters are created equal. And taking such a blatant swipe at a broad spectrum of the gaming world is pretty ignorant on your part.


And even if you'd like to argue that gameplay of shooters is "inferior in sophistication" to a sim like SH4;

...modding them certainly is not, and modding them is equally as difficult.

And since you know nothing about modding shooters, you might not want to speak about it as if you do.

Oh shut up troll. This is a submarine simulation forum. (Not a Duke Nuke'em arcade forum) You just showed your 'intelligence' with that post.

Given your posting history, I do not intend to enter into a battle of wits with the likes of you.

You are unarmed. It wouldn't be fair.

Heh. I love it when you do this.

You have no idea what you reveal about yourself when you speak this way to other members here.

I think that's a huge mis-reading of Ducimius' statement.

What he's getting at is the diversity of operations, including harbor raids, commando landings, rescue missions and other such things which were indeed in greater abundance in the Pacific. If you look at the history of the conflicts, I don't think there is any way to avoid this.

It's not to diminish the individual bravery of the men in both battles; it's to say that indeed by its nature the Pacific was more diverse and provided more opportunities for unusual actions which were few in the Atlantic where the battle was almost completely mid-ocean and focused strictly on the tonnage war. And strictly on the count of diversity of the types of actions, Ducimius is right.

Likewise.

I think we just learnt a lot about yourself there MONOLITH. We all know you can't stand Kpt. Lehmann and well... that of course is your personal right. We can't like everybody.

However... considering there is hardly a post out of you for a while... then all of a sudden Kpt. L makes a comment that can be took to task by you and you take that opportunity.

How do you know he knows nothing about modding FPS?

The point the Kpt. was making is that FPS games have a larger following than games like subsimulators do. Thus a much much larger choice of people to mod with a variety of different skills.

Games like Silent Hunter are strategy games that require a great deal of thought and patience. FPS games usually don't require very much of either. There are exceptions. If I got that point, Im quite sure others did too. Or at least, I hope so.

What I find to be amazing is that people like you actually believe the crap they write.

THAT absolutely floors me.

Uranus must be an inhospitable place for you to hang about. Constant exposure to all that methane gas keeping you stoned and all.

Exactly. They don't produce enough firepower to get the job done.

I'm thinking shovels may be a more appropriate tool for the moment though.

Who in the heck has their hand in the cookie jar and taking more than one cookie? I left enough for eveyone. I leave and come back to this. There is going to be some paddlings going one.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Ja. Things were cooling down until a couple of numbskull sh!t-stirrers tossed in their two cents.

There's still some very useful stuff on this thread... however off topic it may have gotten to be.

The pacific campaign is pretty good now but the nazis need some help .

[MONOLITH]

Name calling, vulgarity, condescension, insults; those are all elements of your posts Lehmann.

I find it both laughable and distressing that anyone who calls you on your rude antics here is considered a 'sh!t-stirrer'; and that it's as tolerated as it is.

Both of our posts clearly speak for themselves. The real truth of "who's the numbskull" is fairly evident.

As we all know, Neal's given you the golden pass to act like an ass to other members here and get away with it. That's fine. Little insecure men act like real tough guys from behind their keyboards. Maybe you should bring your keyboard to the next sub meet where we can continue this discussion in person.

Go ahead now and post back some more childish insults and rants. I'm pretty much done paying attention to it. But at least you'll entertain the crowd. Everyone loves a clown.

Interesting to see how you can somehow claim some sense of moral superiority by resorting to threats of violence against me AND a slap at Neal virtually in the same breath.

Maybe someday, you'll come down from that mountain and learn to control yourself.

Who's the big talking clown in the end?
