What do real wars have to do with this game?  People aren’t behind enemy lines they are dropping kids off at the pool or on their couch.

 

Come on now.   This game is supposedly art imitates life since we are using pixel representations of actual vehicles and battlefields.   

 

What does this game have to do with real wars?   Everything since it’s based loosely on history.    What I mean by that is, this is the game creators attempt to bring back those vehicles and events.  

 

Exactly, people are dropping kids off at the pool so in the scheme of things this is just a game.   Nothing more.  So winning is fun, but it really doesn’t matter outside our little imaginary pixel world.

Apparently WWII tanks had hitpoints, going by this logic

Helsing dracula cough. Just to name a few. Yes it’s based off real tanks from real wars, but it’s supposed to be arcade style, not like War thunder or a simulation game.

Are you that uneducated to not realize that the US has by far,  the best modern military force in the world.   You should know about the friendly fire deaths in Iraq, especially Pat Tillman.  

 

Your one little army stint does not make you knowledgeable on the subject and history of warfare.  

 

I do know about military since my bro went to Marine Corp OSC, served multiple times in Iraq, and is now a Lieutenant Colonel.   My dad served in the Navy.   One cousin graduated from The Naval Academy in Annapolis and another graduated from West Point Military Academy.   Both had tours in Iraq.   That’s just a few of the folks in my family in the military.  

 

So I come from a military family.  

 

I’m not even bothering justifying what I had said about warfare as it should be obvious.  

 

I fixed my spelling mistake.   I was just in a rush.   

 

I wouldn’t call my almost 20 years in the Army a little stint. Oh and Pat Tillman didn’t die in Iraq, he dies in Afghanistan. Friendly fire happens, it sucks but it happens due to the fog of war, but I guess you already know that from your long service as a “military family member”.

You are right it was Afghanistan (my bad), however the point was that you tried to make it seem these things never occurred in wars.  

 

My brother has about the same amount of time as you and I’ve watched him grow from OSC, then an ECMO in a EA-6B Prowler.  Then he got injured during training and no longer can fly medically, but was still able to advance his career.    I feel terrible that he can no longer fly as that was his passion.  My family and I are very proud that he is very close to being a Brigadier General.   He’d be the first General in the family if he can get there.

I said loosely based.   Clearly they got to adapt and try to make money by creating content.

To win is fun....to lose is not fun. All these players that say , " I just play for fun, I don't care about win rate." Remember what General George C. Scott said in the movie " Patton."  " America loves a winner.......and will not tolerate a loser."
