-terrible vehicle respawn rate - i found myself running 30 miles to capture a spawnpoint only to get murdered ruthlessly
-no 3rd person vehicle views? - IRL pilots/tank pilots have the ability to look backwards. qq
-never drove a tank, but im guessing you cant drive and shoot at the same time - didn't you learn from the realism mod for DC? it just doesn't work to be fun
-never got in a plane, see reason 1
-jitters -particularly when zooming it, very annoying
jittery minimap - so anoying!
TOO MUCH RUNNING! for god sakes, maps are all spread too far apart for the lack of vehicles. who wants to play a game where you crawl for 5 hours to get to a spot where you either sit or have to crawl again?
I think you took the realism a bit too far. If your going to be so anal about everything make it all realistic. If I get shot in the arm ingame, I want to feel that pain IRL. If I decide to skydive ingame, I want to feel the wind pushing up against my cheeks.

If you don't like it, leave it. No tears will be shed from my end.
It's much better than vBF2 ever was/will be.
Within the limitations of the engine, the devs have done a tremendous job.

I appreciate the effort you are going through to get your message out.
Your perseverance is commendable and you wear the cloak of the righteous very handsomely but I must tell you something.
Despite all the care and love you clearly put into your informative post we simply don't care.
I mean it's not that we are apathetic, it's just, you don't matter.
You are, as they say, beneath the radar, unobserved,covertly futile even and it is only my personal keen sense of detection that has even alerted the community to the ever so faint possibility that there may be a snake in our virtual Garden of Eden.
So we await your response in hope that you will further enlighten us and bring forth hope and clarity.
Ahh others have keenly detected you as well

IRL, vehicles don't respawn. The long respawn timer makes people more cautious (for the most part) which promotes realism.
Tanks and pilots CAN look back. Tank drivers have full 360 views. As far as I know planes have the ability to look back as well.
Well, many people disagree with you regarding tank crews, including me. It keeps people from lone wolfing and promotes teamwork which is what PR is all about.
Explain what you mean by jitters.
You have to rely on your team for transport which again emphasizes teamwork. Better yet, step up and pilot a Blackhawk, drive a hummer, or crew an APC.
Edit: Shit, two people already beat me.
And stop being a smartass. If I was a forum mod/dev, I would have banned you already, but, I'm not.

Oh my God. You start a new thread where you post the exact same thing as your last thread?

BAAAD IDEA!
A good idea would be to learn how to fly in a local server before "stepping up". Also understanding APCs (hint: don't let them die) is important before you drive them in game.

Well yeah, obviously...
He joined in '04 so I am guessing he has at least a little grasp of what to do in-game... although it doesn't much seem like it in his post.
Edit: Someone just ban him... I just looked at all his previous threads/posts and just about everyone of them has been locked due to him breaking forum rules or otherwise being a jackass.

So we should dumb down the game to make it "easier" for you to play? I think not.

This guy is a troll. Read his other threads. I suggest banning him.

Tanks can shoot while moving. Planes too if you didnt know

We're considering a new feature. We dont have a name for it yet, but in short, it'll make sure that if you get killed in-game, your HDD gets 'killed' as well.
Welcome to the forums. BTW, stop the thread spamming or you'll get some vacation time.
Cheers.

We also don't respawn in real life when we die. The fact of the matter is that you sacrificed game play attempting to make it ultra-realistic, I would have cut some corners in hopes the game ends up being fun..
PS.
Those of you who said vehicle respawn time was OKAY: What if I never actually get in a vehicle? Some noob with a supercomputer can load up before me and take a plane, or a tank and I'll never see it again even if he crashes in 10 seconds. No reason to penalize those uninvolved.
Perhaps you should take some of the pirates mod ideas. They can succeed without vehicle respawns but they do it close quarters on pirate ships!

Its not our fault that your PC may be in need of an upgrade, and we're sure not going to sacrifice what we have in store because of slower PCs.
I suggest you read the guide, search a bit in the forums, and look to develop some teamwork. PRM is not to be played like vBF2. It'll get you ruthlessly murdered as you've already experienced.

That's the thing, he isn't some new guy who's excuse is that he doesn't know what's going on. Look at his join date.

And that's why rounds don't start for a minute and 30 seconds... if you don't load up in that time frame then either deal with it or upgrade.
Why hasn't this thread been locked and why hasn't this guy been banned yet?

Hope you enjoy your 7 day vacation. Thread is likely to go downhill from here, so I'll lock it.
