z fire

[Walrus]

Also, I don't really understand what is wrong with "eye of God" vision. Why is it unrealistic ?

Because the guy firing the MG in RL does not have EOG vision with which to correct his fire.

I am not saying that z fire per se is unrealistic. The reason it is in the the game is exactly because it is realistic.

What I am saying is that some players, seemingly when they first discover it, tend to over use it.
That makes me not want to fight them again.
Not because I lose, or win, but because it is...as you say...very boring to play against and destroys the fun of watching a replay.

My main issue is with long range z fire well out into the 'blackness' that is then accurately corrected, making it quite effective.
This accurate correction is because the player has EOG vision....which has nothing to do with reality.

I know that EOG applied for everything else in SP...however this issue is becoming a pet peeve of mine as I am starting to find more and more players using it all the time, with every weapon in range, during every turn of the battle.

One of the players I was mentioning in an earlier post told me that he had 'learned' it from one of the players who has already posted on this thread. The player that posted on this thread said that they use it sparingly and with appropriate units...the player that 'learned' this from him used it against me in a completely different way.
So...it is like a disease :( It spreads through contact and can come in a more or less virulent forms.

As I also said earlier, I use it when appropriate, and do not request my opponents to 'tone it down'. It is their choice to use it, and how they use it, but it is my choice to avoid battles against players who rely on it as their main tactic.

As I also said earlier...I think as players discover how often it is ineffective, they will calm down their use of it.
I dislike it enough to comment here, but not to make the initial post.

Cheers
