So with this and that, looking for fights and finding hordes, I've been thinking - wouldn't it be nice to have an occasional event in which those whose interests were mostly air to air flew a Grand Sortie together? Sort of a horde-countering-horde?
Now I'm not talking about a grand alliance to end the scourge of <fill in the blank>. The arguably negative trends some see in AH are likely there for reasons beyond our control (the game's built in incentives, the ACM's crazily steep learning curve, Quake mentality, "kids these days"....whatever).
Anyway, it is what it is, and I'm for dealing with reality rather than bemoaning it.
So, like I said, what if a couple dozen or even a half dozen guys who know their way around a cockpit picked a country, took off together, and arrived together as HordeBusters with the simple goal of shooting down red planes. Yeah, if there were wingman tactics that would be great - but back to dealing with reality - lone wolf attacking, kill stealing, shoulder shooting and so forth would be fun too. By getting there together we'd all have a better chance of having some fun without getting a 1v20 "death-by-being-smothered-with-barking-toothless-baby-seals" that usually awaits fights in a horde.
And it would work for all types, from the in the dirt mudders to the pick 'em from the top down killstreakers.
Thoughts?
