Freedom of speech. Who are you to judge what is necessary and not. Let the dude speak his mind. If you don't like what he has to say, hit the back button or stop reading.
Going to spam this all o'er the forums now that elchino7 reminded me of it:
Yes, it does censor people. And yes, it's a problem. Want some proof? This thread.
I've already voiced my opinion on this matter. Treating people who pay for your games like children is a really silly thing to do. I guess the way the filter is implemented is somewhat amusing, but it still doesn't justify blatant censorship.
Just counted the posts in the thread (not counting multiple for those who posted multiple times). May be one vote off in either direction.
For Censorship: 9
Against Censorship: 4
'This thread' is not proof. I suggest you flesh out your argument before you insult a mod. You're not being a vigilante fighting against censorship. You're just being the exact guy being addressed in the 'free speech' XKCD comic that elchino7 posted:
Honestly it's just made my real life a whole lot funnier. My friend is part of a gardening club and I can't help but burst out hysterically every time he brings it up.
What if we made it so the tank had to be stationary for 30 secs to reload the ability, and reloading had a muni cost, AND it was doctrinal? Then it MIGHT be sensible.
Edit:
Should probably not be the first doctrinal ability in said doctrine as the shock value is too high.
Think I saw Australian Magic claim there's basically a bug that can allow a tank's upgraded pintle MG attack infantry with Target Vehicles on so it's probably technically possible, but considering the former's unintended behaviour it'd no doubt be very finicky, especially with infantry models dropping the weapon.
