Absolutely spot on.
A furball away from everything else, can't be allowed... because it imposes on the players not participating in the furball, flying anywhere else on the huge maps, that they play the way those furballers want?  

What exactly is the aim of shutting down that furball, other than get those furballers to play the way the ground pounder wants?  Other than to spoil the mutual agreement between the two sides furballing?

It is absolutely amazing the amount of people that have absolutely no clue as to what the real point of the thread is all about ... even after reading all the posts that explain it over and over again.

Ya just can't fix stupid.

Yeah, I've given up.  No matter how many times its been spelled out in the most simple terms, some either just don't have the intelligence or the desire to get it.

One can only surmise what you or others may think the 'real' point of the thread is all about.  If the author of the thread was interested in imparting some special meaning he could have been much more descriptive.

Here is the original post:

no reason to do it you tools, we dont want the perks from winning the war, we get them by killing your spit 16s and n1ks in 20+ eny birds. STOP THE TOOLSHEDDING!!!!! :furious

That's it.  No special circumstances, caveats, descriptions or otherwise.  He simply disparages those who for any reason would drop a hangar and presumes to tell others how to play.

Frankly I'm not sure how anyone sees anything deeper than that, the post isn't even that well written.

:rofl :rofl :rofl

OMG I am laughin so hard.....  28 pages and counting on this thread...  :rofl :rofl

This all boils down to the fundamental concept of "You are not playing the game the way I want you to so you are a <insert rude comment/name here>". It just dont matter what you do in here, its a game and we all pay the same fee to be here. HTC built a place for everybody to do whatever they like to do in here. If you in the DA dont get ticked cause there aint no Task Groups to hit. If you in one of the "free for all" Main Arenas dont get ticked cause  your Furball get popped. You want 7/24 uninterrupted Furball action.. go to the DA, plenty of room for 500 vs 500 Furball in there and nobody gona bomb your FH. You want 7/24 Strategic/Tactical Air Combat stay the heck outa the DA's and  hang in one of the many Main Arena's where you can Ground Attack, Strat Bomb, Tank vs Tank, Base Capture, Fleet Action till your eyes bleed and your spleen falls out.

Like I taught each of my children as they grew up. "if you put your hand on the  hot stove burner and you get burned, the first time I give you a hug, put some ice on  your hand and feel your pain with you. The second time I scold you for not figuring out the stove is hot and you get burned by putting your hand on it"

Oh I really loved that screeny of the "Fun Police" .. should put your Face right in the pilot seat bro casue that is what this post is all about. Whaa Whaa Whaa......... You aint playing the game that way I want you to.. Whaa Whaa Whaa   :cry   :cry   :cry

Just my thoughts on the subject since it appears that everybody else that ever played this game has posted on it. LMFAO  :rofl  :rofl

Later,
KayBay :cool:

You know there is a diference form the op and the entire thread, right?

How about you sum up what you think this thread is about.  Can you do it for us?  I'll go first.

Here is my take...

Don't claim on country channel that you are tired of furballers, and that you are going to kill FH's at the base they are furballing at only because you want them to quit furballing and start taking bases.

If I ever have the patient to fly a bomber and learn how to drop bombs, I'd totally drop every FH I see! granted if I don't dump my bombs to get into a fight before I get to my target xD

Just my 2 cent.

This is an WWII flight sim, there is enemies and friendlys.
When in a bomber, my main goal is to ruin the war for the enemy, at what ever way that is possible for me. (I expect the enemy to do the same)
If nearby a big furball, I WILL do my best to take down all hangars possible, this way my side will gain some advantage.

Is this wrong?

I think not.
After all, it is war  :devil

O|||||||O

I personally don't care for the electric lockers on the Rubicons.  They are a bugger in my opinion.

I've got a '06' Sport, which pretty much has the same rear(s) and options as the Rubicon, but without the lockers.  If I need them, I'll put manual ones on.

Mine (2006) is also the last year for the in-line 6-cyl    :cry


 What electric locks on a jeep?  I have a  2003  Rubicon  first edition.  Yeah, I think my rims at 17inch and yes I have to rotate the tires every

year. But I feel so sexy with the top down! :rock

That I agree with ... but I was able to understand exactly what he was inferring in the first post ... which was later described in detail by other posters as to what the real point of the thread was all about ... yet despite the repeated post describing what the exact problem was/is ... others still post their thoughts without really understanding what the problem was/is.

Anyone who has tried to shed further light on the problem have said that those who want to bomb can bomb 'til their eyes bleed, but please don't bomb the fighter hangers between 2 fields that are feeding a furball when there is absolutely no immanent danger of a field capture by either of the teams that are fighting in the furball ... wow ... that's a real hard concept to absorb and honor. Like there aren't enough other fields to capture ?

Dropping FHs for the sole purpose of stopping a furball because those "resources" could be used to support the "taking of bases" for the sole purpose of "winning the war" ... deemed by the person who dropped the FHs ... is nothing more than GRIEFING and inconsiderate. There is absolutely no defense for griefers.

Spoiling the "fight" because one is pissed off that those who are in the "fight", won't play the way they think that they should be playing, is flat out wrong.

Everyone country has the opportunity to read 200. If someone is saying that they are going to drop FH at base x then they should up to intercept. It's like speeding on the highway. You see signs for camera speed enforcement, you know it's coming but there are those that do nothing to prevent the ticket they  receive for speeding and then they complain about it..  makes no sense really.

Would I bust up a furball? No, unless someone requested it from with in the furball...

Well since we have the chance to get this to 30 pages.......
        I challenge everyone to read this entire thread from start to finish.  Count how many times the same crap has been said over and over again by both side of this issue.  It's obvious that no one cares about the other side.  I have seen the point of both sides and at one time in this thread tried to play mediator so to speak and got shelled.  It's clear this will never be resolved.  But the funny thing is, I myself love a good furball, but there is absolutley nothing I can do or should be allowed to do if one gets shut down for a couple of minutes, except go and re-arm.  I would rather stay in the fight but, oh well, life sucks.  If both sides have a point and both sides can do what they want to do, this will always remain, fighters versus bombers.  So, there's nothing we can do right?  Tell you what I'm gonna do, play the game.
