Again, I'll point out, some people who are literally posting a dozen times a day on bugs, have scattered them all over the forum, and they refuse to do something as simple as put a save up or even what type of unit is having the problem. And then they make their posts so cryptic that it takes a few read throughs to get it. I'll point out there are maybe half a dozen guys here who get into some kind of cycle of posting about things they think are broken. In some cases they find things. But the majority are knuckleheads not reading manuals, FAQs, etc. Look at how much time the devs have wasted over the last couple of months. Between Z-man, cns-guy, and JP-I don't read the manual, I'm surprised they get any coding done. I'll give my usual rant...PLAY the DAMNED GAME. Stop looking for stuff. I have found maybe a half dozen certifiable bugs in my 100's of hours of play starting in Oct. 2013. Before I jump on the forum or PM a dev, I search the manual, FAQs, warfaresims, addendums, and check baloogan's site, at a minimum. I have some self-control. I don't knee-jerk react and spew a post that ends up being discounted for someone not paying attention. You'll note, I don't typically say anything until someone starts posting 6-10 times over a couple days about this bug, or that bug, or can devs do this, or can the devs do that. At that point I see the profile... 1) Someone wants attention or wants to feel important 2) They don't post saves until badgered about it 3) Descriptions are vague 4) Every release, their first response is either a bug or a "why can't we have this feature too". 5) They act butt-hurt on the slightest pushback 6) They claim to know more than the devs because they played Harpoon or [Insert favorite flight sim here]. Any four combined of the above is someone the forum is better off without. If they could just calm their impulsive itches, they would be valuable contributors. They do find bugs now and then. But the constant posting and the way they post destroys their credibility. PLAY THE GAME. Don't worry about the next release, the ToT planner, that now and then you might have tell a plane to manually refuel. If you are posting about a bug within 10 minutes of finding it...you haven't done the work to see if its a bug. That is knee-jerk bug hunting. If you think I am talking about you, then you are playing the game wrong or playing the wrong game. You are not playing to enjoy one of the best modern naval simulations ever. You are playing it to find broken things. You take it as a challenge. It makes you feel good and important. I can't stop you from doing it, but I'll speak up.
