Hey Folks...
Well, the Name of the New Trial Configuration will be changing because "someone" (on another forum) took it all wrong and twisted it and put an evil "Spin" on it to make it look bad of course.
In his post over at UT99.org he said I was "Glorifying" the Nazis - long story short - by naming it what I did.
No, it was Never my intention to glorify anything Nazi - that "Spin" all came from his post and his twisting of all of this.
I apologize for any misunderstanding this may have caused and I assure you it was totally innocently or rather more objectively named what I named it.
I was being totally objective in using that name and I never wished to "tout" its use by the Nazis, ever, and I do not think I did that at all!
That is why I called it what I did and not something with "Nazi" in it.
My own stepfather fought in WWII in the US Army's
5th Armored Division and he well understood how well the "88" functioned.
They all did and many talked about it without anybody spouting off that they were "glorifying the Nazis" because they were not.
They were merely objectively stating some facts about an artillery piece that the Germans used.
This, UT99, is a
GAME that uses a good number of weapons, but isn't meant to be taken as "real life" weapons.
Several military war games out there use authentic weapons and their names, but it does Not mean that these games are touting and glorifying the Nazis!!!
Even in UT, the "
Redeemer" is a
Nuclear Warhead - an
Atomic Bomb for crying out loud!!!
In real life, this is a far Nastier (worse) weapon than the "88" ever was and gruesomely killed far more innocent people, but yet that is OK to use according to this person?
He even codes a lot for this weapon, the Redeemer, but that is perfectly fine in his book too?
A Hypocrite he is.
The Actual Name for our new Redeemer is "
PirateDeemerCMM", as everyone knows, and this "88" one is merely a trial side configuration of this main mod.
Anyway - long story short -
I will change the name of that new trial version to something else, just to appease this person and avoid any other trouble with it that he/they, or anybody else, may dream up.
The problem is, this version acts most like an artillery canon like the "88" was, and if I name it after ANY artillery canon, it will have the same problem associated with it to someone, somewhere, possibly. Darn!
These weapons ALL killed a lot of people - in real life!
He will probably rant about whatever I call it though just to cut it and me down.
By his doing this, he has effectively prevented me from naming this configuration after almost ANY weapon out there - pretty clever of him!
Any roadblock or bump in the road they will look for and send our way.
Anyway, as a result, I will change the name to reflect a new name as soon as I can find a new name for that trial version - that would be good.
This New version will remain a Very FUN and Exciting New Configuration that we are still fine-tuning, no matter what we call it, so do not worry - it will be here for us to play!
Sincerely...
And Thanks for your understanding.
