Andy Mac -> RE: Ding Ding Round 3 !!!! (10/30/2011 7:07:13 PM)
|
Na John is great its a nasty surprise when it happens in mid operation and this one has hit him in mid operation because we only updated to patch 2 (witht he beta) a few days ago probably after hit fleet sortied so I would be pissed as well if I was him.
I am just less than bothered by it because
a. I cannot fix it and
b. I suffered over the hardcoded range twice
Turn from yesterday below his MTB's sailing past numerous DD flotillas to cause issues wave 2 is a few days away didnt really expect to need them but will probably bring them in in in 2 or 3 days
