Zorin, let's face it, you came across in your posts like a dickhead. If you had politely pointed out the flaws, everything would be OK. Instead:

Quote:
Luthier, please get your texture guy in on Saturday to fix this obvious flaw in the Minensuchboot texture.

Honestly, the only ship you release new and the texture is not even done properly?
The guys are working practically 7 days a week...people get tired and make mistakes. You seem to contend that this is a major, and as you put it "obvious" flaw (which no one else saw but you), and you seem to want the artist sacked. Frankly that's ridiculous.

Quote:
... but if you want to bitch about with your community like that, be my guest.
Luthier stood up for his artists. Instead you take personal injury to that and write to the lead developer that he's bitchy? What is wrong with you?

Putting myself in the Team's shoes, I would simply quit on a project that we had made huge sacrifices for if barraged with comments like yours. No respect from the community = two middle fingers back.

1. As Trumper said, a lot of people, myself included, have volunteered for years to help out and were ignored.
2. Calling an employee in to work on Saturday, as they all have done for month now as we have been told, doesn't sound that absurd as they are obviously used to it.
3. He stood up for his artist by trying to make me look like a fool in public who doesn't check his references. So yes, I have every right to set this straight and I couldn't care less who he is.
4. Barraged? One comment about a tetxure... Get over yourself. We as a community are the single most commited and patient I have ever come across. So when they come around the corner with something they want to show us, the first warship in CoD, they should better be prepared to face criticism where it is due.

This whole being grateful and obedient attitude really gets up my nose. We have been sold a Yugo that was advertized as a Rolls Royce to use bongodriver's car analogy for pete's sake and we are still here pointing out errors and mistakes because we want to help them improve their product instead of throwing it back in their face. If they are offended by it, there is obviously something very wrong with their attitude.

When I bought this game for 50 Euro several months ago it was unplayable and still I ventured through testing it and creating an entire thread regarding the FMB and issues I found and stuff that could be improved and not a single comment from one of the devs regarding it. I offered to help them with new basic content, like bombs for the Luftwaffe that are missing as I already rebuild the entire lot for Il-2, but again nothing.

So don't tell me how to conduct myself. Even though I have been sold a pre beta product I am not holding a grudge but constantly trying to help and make an effort to improve this game.

Please:

When presenting any correctional data, present the full facts from the start.

This way no one gets the wrong end of the stick and everyone can be on the same page with no misunderstandings.

Documents presented must be accountable as genuine and available in full for closer inspection.

A part picture here and scrap of b-print there simply isn't good enough.

Anything else is a waste of everyone's time.

I'm sure as usual if the "ship bug" was fully represented in the above manner there would still be the bitching,
but at least it was fully presented for the serious eyes to scrutinize and save any conflicts of interest.

Be nice to have two RN Mine sweepers tandem towing a Warp to clear mine fields.

You have a valid point but, you need to reread your original post here...it came across as condescending and mocking a bit.

When the regular Friday updates began and the developers posted screen shots and asked for feedback I pointed out that some of the tracks in the fields were a modern feature created by the recent practice of crop spraying using wide booms and such tracks would not have existed in the 1940's. As it happens the tracks are still there but so what? I would not be so arrogent and rude as to suggest the developers are a bunch of idiots who need to immediately correct any mistake and inacuracy just because I happened to spot it. It is not my game and I have no right to make such demands. No one objects to inaccuracies being pointed out - it is the highhanded demand for an instant correction that people find a little tiresome. As as been pointed out, a few portholes a few inches out of place have a pretty marginal effect on game play.

It fits right in here then...
I find it strange that of all the questions posed in this thread, the developer just chose to answer one about port holes,and it looks like he was wrong anyway!
A German minesweeper is an odd choice, but its not the first odd choice made with CoD,or il2.
Lets see what the patch brings, but if CoD is still inexplicably tied to steam for multiplayer,with all the problems that is obviously bringing, this game has a long way to go.
