Well, this forum isn't high school or college. You may be used to talking down to people there, but here we are equals.. ok?

Huh? Forming your opinion of people based on their tone or style and ignoring those that don't meet your standards is egoism at its worst. He's saying to not worry so much about perceived criticism and simply take what is useful from it and don't let the tone and style bother you. It is only a *****ly ego that prevents someone from seeing past tone and understanding actual content.

Anyways, if Tater is who I think he is, and if he tells you that your claim to realism is contradicted by a source he has at hand, then you should probably listen to the facts contained within and ignore how they are delivered. Tater knows his stuff.

And Tater, thanks for the effort on this important issue. The Japanese may not have been experts on ASW, but they had air cover over a huge portion of the theatre, which should be a constant concern and problem to deal with in the game. Personally, I don't want to face challenges that are implemented with a degree of absurdity, such as they currently stand.
