Drtikol42 12 Posted March 6, 2014 Which is why they shouldn't really be in the game. That's the angle I'm coming from.You want American built weapons? Sure, of course there will be some of them. Want American food and drinks, yeah, it's probably likely they would exist (and certainly the colas), but hats? I just don't believe they would be there, and certainly when travelling Eastern Europe I've never seen one. Some people i know in CR wear cowboy hats when hiking but thats about it.

taco86 156 Posted March 6, 2014 If it weren't for the US, all Europeans would be speaking German! It had far more to do with hitler over estimating the effectiveness of his tech and his troops, and under estimating the manufacturing power or Russia, than it does with US involvement... IT should go more like this... "If it weren't for the US, Britain, Finland, and large numbers of other countries getting involved all Europeans would be speaking Russian" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daemonkid 493 Posted March 6, 2014 No shit. I come from a farming background and know firsthand what a fucking cowboy is. It is you fucktard city slickers who know nothing about country living. Learn your fucking history.I have. I've actually studied history. It's one of my favourite things to do. Just because the term "Cowboy" now conjures up images of ranching men doesn't mean that's what it's always meant. Fuckin' Yokel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco86 156 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) No shit. I come from a farming background and know firsthand what a fucking cowboy is. It is you fucktard city slickers who know nothing about country living. Learn your fucking history.Lol, nice straw man there bro, one of the better ones I've seen on these boards to date... FYI, I aint no city slicker and I spent the better years of my childhood growing up in NW Montana... Hell, I use to shoot gofers on a "local" (nothing is really local in Monatana) ranch with my ruger 10/22, take their tails, and turn them in for a cash prize... Before people start chiming in on how "messed up that is", please note that they were a pest resulting in broken legs and the eventual shooting of cattle every year.

Just because the term "Cowboy" now conjures up images of ranching men doesn't mean that's what it's always meant. Fuckin' Yokel. Just because the term was used to describe bandits in the mid to late 1880's doesn't mean that it was always what the term meant or even means today. If you paid for your history education, you should get a fucking refund. Edited March 6, 2014 by OR3GONIZ3D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco86 156 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) The war was won at Stalingrad bro.I'd argue kursk, but Stalingrad vs Kursk in terms of "end game" is a great debate in terms of WWII. Either way, Russia was going to crush Germany eventually. The US getting involved was most significant in that it sped up the inevitable fall of Nazi Germany.

I was only joking. On 'cowboy hats': Anyone who thinks they are only worn by American cowboys is an idiot. Anyone who thinks they don't exist in eastern Europe is an idiot. It would be great if your choice of hat actually hat effected your body heat - hopefully we'll eventually get mechanics for keeping warm or cool, depending on weather and time of day, and cowboy hats and sun glasses will become more than just a way to try and make your character look like 'The Man'.

Daemonkid 493 Posted March 6, 2014 "Cowboys are a myth anyway. Most of them were black, didn't carry firearms and not a czech shirt in sight!!! inb4 the h8rs"The context of my statement was directed at him. He said they were a myth, and didn't carry firearms, implying the old western times.So my statement was factually correct and I used the correct terms for which "Cowboys" were known at that time as theives.But it's okay to be mad.

Whyherro123 2283 Posted March 6, 2014 The war was won at Stalingrad bro.And the USSR won because of the US Lend-Lease Program. We shipped about $11 BILLION worth of war materials to the USSRAmerica didn't win WW2 all by itself, however, the war probably would've been a hell of a lot shorter if we didn't ship supplies worldwide.

Look it up. Show a little gratitude. Keep your revisionist fantasy history to yourself, use it to console your own inadequacies, it has no place in a debate. It had far more to do with hitler over estimating the effectiveness of his tech and his troops, and under estimating the manufacturing power or Russia, than it does with US involvement... IT should go more like this... "If it weren't for the US, Britain, Finland, and large numbers of other countries getting involved all Europeans would be speaking Russian"He didn't under estimate Russian manufacturing. He underestimated The United States of Americas ability to make deals with and provide aid to ANYONE if its in The United States of America or its allies best interest.
