Point Values

[Huib Versloot]

I'm a simple sort of chap, friend. I don't claim to read your mind, only what you wrote down. Clearly, you have a unique understanding of the mind of the military officer.

I reiterate, your statement is both absurd, and demeaning to the Profession of Arms, where I spent my working life.

But please, please allow me to complement you on your intelligence. I feel priviledged to be able to even communicate with the owner of such gifts, I could never aspire to your rarified intellectual level. And your modesty is....remarkable!!

I suppose all I can do is to continue basing my comments in this forum on my real life experience.

Rod,
Maybe I am not being very modest, but you are being sarcastic after calling a statement absurd based your own (I think) misinterpretation of my words. I don't ask you to read my mind, I ask you to understand what I'm trying to explain. Instead of asking a clarification you are so confident about your knowledge gained "in the field" that you jump to the conclusion that what I say must be absurd and demeaning. While I entirely respect your service record and experience, you are wrong about my statement.

Maybe you could think twice or count to 10 before calling things absurd and ridiculous. It is not nice.
Rather tell me the added value in the game (not real life!!) of having different vp values for different tank types. How do I calculate those back in the victory conditions when they are so subjective as is currently the case. Or how do would you do that in your own designs?
Personally I always come back to historical plausible kill rates translated to the victory conditions and different values only mean extra calculations of which I don't see added value.
