One on One with Major CANDY
ok on to our business :)
SO HONEY! how
are you?
i am ok just that i cant spend more time on the net. Meantime lets go on
with the interview
ok ask away
Can you make an introduction of yourself for the benefit of those who
doesnt know you yet?
it was really tough
getting to no 1. Hi i'm CANDY female , English girl , aged 25 yrs from Manchester
origionally but i now live in Plymouth or very near I do part time work at a bar some
evenings
You are also a student right ?
Yes, I go to art college studying fashion and
photography I also do a little modelling mainly for a fetish manufacturer in Bristol they
are called RELIGION. Sometimes I'm required to model at some of their large fetish party
nights
thats cool :)
So how did you get into this again?
a lot of guys ask me why i
got into cc2 and cc3 . Ii admit its not what i would normally do with my spare time but
all that’s changed. One weekend before my brother moved out with his girlfriend I was
hanging around feeling pretty sorry for myself. My brother
had recently installed a modem to his new computer and he was exploring the net .
then u started tinkering around with the game :)
I went into his room and
asked if i could watch. For a change he was nice
k
he was actually playing cc2 with some other guy
i remember the other player’s name was MCPLIVP
:)
I HAVE A RECORD OF
ALL EARLY GAMES OF BOTH ME AND BROTHER. My brother started that habit of i just kept doing
it. Well anyhow, before i knew it, i was telling my brother what to do. Once, he told me
that he couldn't do something I’d suggested because a half track was not capable of
hurting a tiger! I knew very little, but was intruiged
and here you are now
for the first time in ages me and my brother
actually had a laugh and got on
that’s nice
so he started to teach me the basics
he also gave me a book on ww2 tanks and armoured cars so i read up
well how long exactly have you been playing the cc series?
18 months
that’s a long time
before i knew it i was taking turns playing. sat
with my brother, he was amazed that i was winning more than him. He said i ought to take
it up proper coz i had a natural ability for strategy. i had another
reason for playing though
and that would be ?
as soon as guys found out i was a girl, I got loads of attention
lol :)
which is also what i like so very much. Attention from guys is what i crave and
here i was getting it on an ordinary weekday
lol ok
well i chatted and played with the best so naturally i got better
k new question
k ask
Ok, I’m thinking this over carefully
ok go on
You have played with some of the best players ever since cc2
yes
and you got to be no.2. Now that you have finally reached no.1 but on a different
series, how would you describe the difference between the gameplay of cc2 and cc3 in terms
of competiotion?
easy
Well, cc2 is a great game and i still intend on reaching the no 1 spot
eventually. But its drawbacks were that it was very much more LUCK orientated. You could
be the best but still lose. Strategy sometimes didn't count. If luck was bad you lost. It
is a simple as that.
like germans using accurate fausts and schrecks?
No sarge. Inconsistancy with such weapons.
Oh, I see. Ok.
bazooka could fire all day at a hetzer and do nothing. But then it could have one
shot at a jag tiger and kaboom.
so what about with cc3?
cc3 is very different
yes there is a little luck, but it is more consistent with reality. It
don't happen so often. cc3 is in my opinion more like the real thing
In cc3 what is your favorite year?
favorite year is 1943/44: it’s evenly balanced. Su's can kill german big
stuff, but german big stuff can kill su's. Infantry has good anti tank. But limited number
of fausts and not so accurate.
But would you say that there is something to be fixed with cc3?
yes, a few things. Not much though. Connection needs sorting
and what else have you noticed?
steep angle is a bit of a nightmare. We shouldn't have to worry about steep
angle. It’s almost impossible to know your tank has too steep an angle till you try
and fire. Then its too late, you’re dead. Infantry is seen too easily by tanks.
yeah like what happened in our last game
Infantry seems to be easily killed. Tanks had a tough time seeing outside from
all the reading i have done on war. Especially if the tanks are buttoned up.
Yes i have noticed that too. Which brings me to this question.. Have you
ever tried or even heard of "realRed"?
realRed ?????? what is this i never heard of it?
lol women
why ?
lol
explain?
Well RealRed is somewhat we call the saving grace for cc3. It is also a
MOD wherein you can fix the infantry problems.
MOD ministry of defense?
lol. Modification. It replaces your cc3's data files and improves the
infantry like they were soldiers from cc2.
ow. Sorry. Mod by who? ATOMIC realese?
nope. Gamestats at ryan ross’ website
ow well thats sounds good.
ok.... What would your advice be for those GDS members or even non- gds
members in climbing the ladder
sometimes in the summer i just wear underwear coz it gets to hot !
lol
advice????? Hmmmm, toughy. I always try to imagine what i would do if i was the
opposition. 9 out of 10 i'm usually right. Look for good lines of sight for AT GUNS and
you will usually find em there.
Anymore advice on how to set up your strategy? any combination?
yes, use some eyes and ears of the army. Put recon or infantry half teams well
forward. They should see stuff before enemy sees you. Another great tactic is never send
one tank always 2. If they get in a duel, you have a great chance of winning.
right
can't really think of much else
ok can you name a few opponents that really made an impression on you?
ok there are about 6 players who i really worried about. SS_PANZERLEADER
yeah hehehe
JEBC
aye again
HUNTER
> AVRE
2 more :)
Best?
LOL
heheh just kidding
NOT QUITE
hey I won’t put that in!
2 more
thinking…EASY8 and JANNEN.
ok :)
With SS Panzerleader being the deadliest.
yes i agree :) I have played all of them too, except for Hunter.
But the good thing is SS Panzerleader never beat me at cc3.I got him 2 times though on the
Trial map.
:)
in cc2 though, the score was: SS - 7, me - 3. But they
were all so close.
good record :) almost the same as mine hehehe anyway....now that you’re no.1
and a lot of the GDS has been getting to the top ten, there were rumors going on now that
you only play GDS members. How would you react to that?
I play whoever asks first. That’s my policy. If you
asked first, no matter who you are, as long as it’s a ladder game, I’ll play
you. Truth is, there are a lot of gds members in the top 20, all trying to move up the
ladder.
ok we got that straightened out
And tonight, for instance i played only once and that was K_TIGER. I lost.
yeah he is kinda hot now
well its his bm's. I think if he played a few of ours, he wouldn't be so hot.
yes :). Anything else you would like to say to the CC3 zone players before we end our
interview :)?
yes. One thing: I really do love you all
lol :)
you’re like a family. Some great personalities
aaawww
some morons as well. But there is a place even for them. It’s
a great place with great people. And i love to relax with some of you. Most make me feel
really welcome. And i apologize for teasing sometimes. Its’ a girl thing. Sorry!
CANDYGIRL OUT
Ok thanks, Candy, for doing this interview. I hope anybody reading this will learn from
the advice that you gave and also might someday share your success. And by the way, watch
out for CORNHOLIO! :)
