The LWAMI 3.11 Preview Thread

OneShot · 02-03-11, 04:45 PM

LwAmi doesnt add new playable models - and most likely never will. However, as far as I am concerned (and those are strictly my 2cts on this issue) we dont need new playables.

Simple reason ... in the end all thats basically changed is the 3D model and maybe the odd station. Gameplay doesnt change because regardless if you are playing an OHP or for example a BREMEN class frigate or a P3 or a Nimrod the tactics and more or less the capabilities for each platform class stay basically the same.

DW is at its core an ASW simulator and not for example an AEGIS sim or a true flightsim, thus limiting whats possible in the game. Thats ok because thats what the game is designed to do. Trying to change that just doesnt work that well - if at all.

Now the game comes with 7 diferent platforms and its quite a feat to truly master one less alone all of them. And to be frank - whats really annoying in my eyes is when people come on say "hey I got the game for 2 weeks and I mastered all platforms - why arent there more and why the heck didnt they include XY platform ...?" I seriously doubt that those have even one platform down pat.

Anyway, Ill get off my soapbox now ...

Load LwAmi and take time to go through the first class manual (written by Molon Labe) its worth reading and you will need it to use all new capabilities.
Come back with further questions
