You yell "Hit"... The other aspect I like about airsoft is that it feels more "Teamish"... In Paintball you have teams, but your forced to use that team in the full capacity depending on the mission you have been assigned... So you won't forget about little Jimmy and his weak stock gun cause he might be your best suppression gunner (in my case I specialize in that area ...)

I have to reload... And often under fire... Thanks I think that is all I could do... Carrying around a screw driver, Allen Wrench set, and extra parts is not fun...

I live in the Boon Docks, so most of my fighting is done in the woods... You just have to put more BB's out to "cut" the terrain down, so yes in comparison that is another disadvantage... Most of the time it cuts through pretty fast, or finds the "one opening"... Camo is staple, no padding though... Some guys have Camo stockpiles, BDU's in 6 different countries, Digital, Marpats, Winter, Summer, Desert, Forests, Urban, you name it...

Oh and another weapon I forgot to mention that we have: Claymores...

for your reading pleasure, here is the "Ship Technology" list for WW2 from wikipedia:

Ships

Naval warfare changed dramatically during World War II, with the ascent of the aircraft carrier to the premier vessel of the fleet, and the impact of increasingly capable submarines (originally known as U-boats by the Germans) on the face of naval tactics. They were used primarily for stopping/destroying the resources from the United States and Canada coming across the ocean for the soldiers. The development of new ships during the war was somewhat limited due to the protracted time period needed for production, but important developments were often retrofitted to older vessels. Advanced German submarine types came into service too late and after nearly all the experienced crews had been lost.

Submarines were critical in the Pacific Ocean as well as in the Atlantic Ocean. Japanese defenses against United States Navy submarines were ineffective. Much of the merchant fleet of the Empire of Japan, needed to supply its scattered forces and bring supplies such as petroleum and food back to the Japanese Archipelago, was sunk. This kept them from training adequate replacements for their lost aircrews and even forced the navy to be based near its oil supply. A submarine sank the war's largest aircraft carrier, the Shinano.

The most important shipboard advances were in the field of anti-submarine warfare. Driven by the desperate necessity of keeping Britain supplied, technologies for the detection and destruction of submarines was advanced at high priority. The use of ASDIC (SONAR) became widespread and so did the installation of shipboard and airborne radar.

Ok let me quote what you said over here:

airsoft is really better than paintball?  I enjoy my welts with dignified pride, and i like creating welts on people.  Does it hurt with airsoft? how do you know when you are hit?  paintball may be expensive and airsoft guns can shoot fast, but some paintball guns can shoot real fast too.  They have paint grenades, land mines- either pressure or trip wire, new guns coming out with paint grenade launchers-sounds cool, and there are some heavy machinge guns that use three barrels in kind of a triangle with three huge hoppers, you can make a machine gun crew with crewmembers armed for defense.  We dont have any of those nifty things but its nice to dream.  Imperious, maybe your paintballs weren't so great, or your barrel.  Its terrible hearing about someone giving up the greatest sport ever, if its outside somewhere.

#1, I wouldn't mind giving or taking welts... That to me isn't the issue... If you have some pride issue with getting welts or giving them, go to Japan and play airsoft... No Safety limits, 600 FPS+ weapons, no hit calls (they can empty there mag on you if they want)...
#2, Yes it hurts, especially if you have an uber elite gun that is 500 fps+... Do stock guns hurt compared to Paintball? Read #1...
#3, I don't doubt the speed or velocity of paintball guns, I just would rather shoot a 1:1 replica weapon, and mod up based on the MilSim... Yeah, we got our line of weapons too... 2 types of Grenades (refillable bursts BB's, or inexpensive Water-Pressured ones that explode there outer core like shrapnel), M249's, M60's Vulcans (I have heard this thing at a distance during a night op, and it is the total beast on the battlefield! Our boys coming into respawn were complaining about this sucker) Mg-42's... Last op we had here the ANG donated a AFV for the fight, and in Op Irene in Kentucky the Airsofters there had several per team... And if you can't find it, but don't mind affording it, anyone with some metal shop skills and knowledge of AS guns can mod you just about any weapon...
#4, Forget water bottle heaters, I play Bulge free of anything baby...

Paintball is a great sport, I can attest personally that it is faster then most skirmish AS Games, and you usually get more trigger time... We are milsims, we like our field tactics...

Ok, I started something, I will link this to another thread...

Interesting Concept, actually I find that the US has control of Africa by T3 and the Suez is usually open again... I usually though send it far south and then hook up with any US Navy going Island Hopping, since 2 Carriers are better then one...

If that was the case, I think it would have been specified and he would have defended himself for such action...

Nice! I have heard that UTG's are now becoming one of the better companies to get stock guns from (except there mags, which you can get pretty inexpensive from TM) If I get a chance, I'll visit with my AK gear (and AAR... )

GG

No you didn't get what I said... You said, "So anymore techs?" and I said beyond the one mentioned, no... It could be an NA if people think it isn't in the "teching" class... But really some of the "techs" we have now under the same scrutiny wouldn't be techs... Heavy Artillery for example (what is this representing in particular?)...

GG

Way too much free time! 

Amazing, simply that... Forget minis, arm me with some 1:1 scale airsoft WW2 guns, and go fight against a real train, that will put some things into perspective...

GG

Jibbo, Canuck, Loafer, Rocky, Jerky, Chip, Libby, Napo...

I have done the AC, Land units and/or Tranny build, but that one is new... If you hope to attack Baltic Seazone, and negate Sub usage, I would consider it, but I think Airforce would be a better investment... 1 AC, 1 Fighter save 2, attack Navy with much larger Air Force, Reinforce Russia T3 and have a fat happy carrier in the baltic...

GG

I still don't get why people wouldn't use TripleA? It is free, has no bugs (as far as I know) and can be Internet and PBEM compatible...

GG

To tell you the truth the only AaA game that includes vehicles is Axis and Allies: Battle of the Bulge, and that has not been released yet... And I know that you will find any info you need, just check out the AaA Revised board below this one...

Happy Gaming,
GG

Correct!

New techs? Not from my end, IMO I would actually make a point not to make too many... The goal to limiting techs is that players will develop particular interests in one "strain" or the other of techs instead of "I-haven't-tried-that-one-before" syndrome... If someone thinks otherwise, then yes I do have some...

I was referring to the Akagi:

It was laid down as a battlecruiser, and was flat topped, capable of carrying 91 Aircraft...
