By the way, my IL2 squad is VT-13, or CVW-13 or just "13th". Either way, the point is it works in IL2. There's plenty of names like that, 78th, 92nd, 337th, 303, JG1/III and the like. And they all extend to something bigger. So, you'd have 78th Fighter Group, 92nd Bomber Group, etc. 12th or B12 works just fine, with a longer, more descriptive name used elsewhere (forums, etc).

Also, is there any concrete information on map size? That determines whether we need a logistics battalion. I see others also like this idea (convoys, etc) :)

I believe the official word on map size is "Enormous".

In Planetside 1, there was a bit of logistics, but because Galaxies were very available and we'll have things like hot drops and stuff, I don't think you'll be spending a ton of time going overland, unless maybe to flank. We'll want leaders and coordination but I don't think we need a battalion dedicated to delivering soldiers.

Holy shit this isn't a photoshop this is actually real

A bunch of goons figured out that you could switch the ID on any SOE game launcher to get into PS2.

Well, tanks need to go over land particularly, and if we're moving into a heavy air-superiority fight, we don't want too many guys up in the air with them.

Securing a route will be important, but things like "get ammo to the front lines" won't be.  I can imagine having a few prowlers or liberators standing guard over a convoy's route to ensure they can make it through consistnetly.

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

The Photoshop is strong in this one, he should design our outfit image, assuming there will be one.

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

This one isn't a photoshop, and I didn't make the first one.  I'd rate my current image manipulation skills as rather amateur.

Wait, so that one is real?

But, as stated, that one's fixed now.

Maybe when the beta is actually released they will make a title screen of good quality. The current one has this immersion breaking font that more looks at home on a financial report.

Quote from: a Swedish electronics teacher
In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.
Most attempts of sesquipedalian loquaciousness on the internet will most likely end up in egregious delusions of eloquence. Finagle's law commands it!

To be fair, they are more focused on trying to finish the game at the moment, than making the login screen look good :P

How does a font break immersion? I mean unless they're using Comic Sans or Papyrus...
