so if you can't pork something within 15 mins....

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

right on the money shane...  If they can't get their attention fix in a very short time with very little effort then they want the map to help them by focusing all the good gameplay on a very few spots...

that way... they can talentlessly pork those few spots and .... by gawd.... people will notice them then!  

with a lot of close fields people will simply go to the next good place to play when the strat guys have crapped in the sandbox.

Huh? Where'd anyone say anything about too long of flights to.. pork?

All i hear are whines about fields not being within walking distance.

Here, lemme borrow this.

"If they can't get thier furball fix within 5 minutes with very little effort, then they want the map to help them (i.e. fields closer) by kicking out the whole aspect of war to play airquake.

That way, they can talentlessly furball to get thier kills in lights and, by gawd, people will notice them!

With a lot of fields closer, we get to negate any strat."



I'll say it again..

It's true, too. :)

You can pork every factory and city down to 0% and it makes no difference in how stuff goes, besides a few minutes.

But, despite this, i routinely make 45 minute bombruns to strat targets 4 sectors behind the front line because.. It's fun to see stuff go boom.

you know you can have quicker flight times, see stuff go boom and live up to the above assertion by.....



flying offline.

and you can pretend the effects were enormus!! shutting down an entire map with the only 4 remaining defenders circling thier base in a fear-based luftberry!!

and that your awesome skills have made them too frightened to even consider engaging you while you pork their field under their noses!

I'll consider doing that when furballers do thier furballing in the DA.

AAAAAAaaaand, why would i fly offline? There's no one to intercept me or anything. It'd be milkrunning.

Yeah, that's all fine and stuff, but hitting factories is too much work for mostly un-noticable gain.

The above sums it all up....and you seem qualified to speak to actual air to air combat?

Someday you will take off the training wheels and actually learn how to fight another aircraft....when you do, you will look back on this time of confusion and misunderstanding and come to know the error of your ways.

They avoid questions and can't defend what they say, so they resort to personal attacks..

What i said in a previous thread, it's just takin em off thier high-n-mighty perch.

Stop being so sensitive.....you have the skin of a delicate flower.

It's so simple....Furballers are better looking, better educated, more intelligent and are highly competitive folks....we don't waste time defending anything in text, only in our aircraft and we do that by going on the offense.

Stop taking things of which you have no understanding and making them personal...the furballers understand that in life, yes, even those lacking in character and substance, have a place in the world....just stay out of our way and you'll be fine. :eek:

You just don't understand the strat system.  Hitting the City and the corresponding stratIt makes HOURS of difference.

HTC's explanation of the strat system is TERRIBLY written but it is all we got.  Hopefully you will get a general idea because right now you totally don't get it.
