R2…… dont pick on the noobs :-)
If u can get guys like Fr3shPr1nce (W-100, L-5) , WilliamtheBloody or Hitman to play against, u will get the challenge u are searching for.
As for the GTO i like it cause i can get a game any time i can play i tried ones at TripleA there was 10 people at that time there and i could not host so that was really frustrating.
The problem i have with GTO is that there is a huge pool of revised players and they dont wanna switch to 42, revised league is consisted of about 15 divisions (while 1942 only 5). All the new members like 1942 better and the pool is growing every month but they are still not that experienced and that is why your score is 4-0 for now.
I noticed that people there like multi games there is even 2v2 tourney every 3 months (revised or 1942).
I dont like PBEM games either they still have few problems with them (like AI picks your casualties…example on G2 your opponent attack sz2 and germ sub hits AI assigns hit to BB but we all rather take rus sub)), but i dont use it very often only in the league and when i split live game in 2 blocks, but there is lot of people that play only pbems cause of work or etc. and they use Subscription for $3.95 per month with unlimited number of games.
As i know they are working on many new features to improve the games but they are doing it slow :-(
- bid for allies
- option to watch the game
- round counter
- more in game options like picking the whole stack with 1 click
And as for the timer i usually play 60 sec for buy and 3 min per turn so usually games last between 2-3 hours.
