Every country gets gangbanged at some time of the day. If you fly in the late night/early morning, it's usually the knights. Everybody gets their turn.

Ripsnort summarized it well:  "Every gets a night in the bucket"

Look, it happens to all the sides.  Its no secret, I bounce around from side to side.  While I tend to hang out as a Knight, sometimes I opt to play Rook or Bish since many of you are on those teams and I like flying with ya!

The one solution is if the server assigned you to a team as you logged in, in an effort to balance the sides out.  But, I see more problems than gains doing that (Squads being broken up into different teams when they wanted to fly together, etc etc)

Have fun guys, and if you see my Lancaster up there, beep, don't shoot

Ok lets try and get back on subject.  The idea here, is to try and make it possible for all sides have at least one cv per at all times.  CV's being part of the game should NOT be allowed to be denied for the lenght of time it happened recently to Rooks..OR KNIGHTS OR BISHOPS FOR THAT MATTER.  Flame away if your po'd about having been outnumbered or gangbanged or whatever, but please choose to do so knowing I don't give a crap about your petty personal gripe with one side or the other. ALL SIDES GET BANGED FROM TIME TO TIME ..OK??? sheesh.

switch sides if carrier ops is ur bag and rooks aint got one.  Dont expect people to change or the game to change just to suit ur desire to be rook and fly off carriers.

Gawd Crash...read above will ya?  Like I said...it's not a freekin side issue.  

[SwampRat]

Dont expect people to change

???  Crash what point exactly are you trying to make?

[texace]

Let's see...when the Japanese lost most of their CV's in Midway, did they whine to the US that it wasn't fair to not have carriers, that they should always have one? Get over it...you won't have CV's all the time.

Is this subject just too far over the heads of your average AH participant or what?  Yet again...See above before you make some eloquent decry of intelligence.  Did I not state that this was a game..to have fun..OF WHICH CV OPS IS A PART OF?  My dear Texace..this is not WWII, or WWIII, or the friggin battle at bunker hill even.  It is a game.  Would someone please bother to reply to the point of my origional and following posts?

Well, Cave, I know you're very willing to roll over like a dog and show passive in order to get a reset(Something you tried to get Knights to do in the past when you were knight), but ya got to tell that to the other Rooks that are fighting like a cornered rat, then we can reset...you see, when you get a country down to 2-3 fields, it gets alittle tougher to close bases.      

Cave, I've yet to have more than 15 in any one of my Jabo sorties since the JG2 days...

BTW, I agree with the top post,however, add another CV task force,then,the most one country can lose is 2  CV's..

One thing I have not heard mentioned yet...

One of the big reasons that HTC has put the perk points system in place is so they can use it as a tool to try and balance the arena a bit.  Lets watch and see what HTC does, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that they'll use the perk system to help out.  In that case it could be that you can beat one country down to 3 bases and no CV's, but then you would have to contend with a bunch of guys in P51 H's and P47M's.  As a side benefit, some would switch sides to the outnumbered one just to get a chance to fly some perk planes or get more perk points.

Give it a chance folks.

In the mean time, let me point out that this is no different from normal.  This is only an issue because the CV's are new and everybody wants to play with them.  Things will even out and calm down a bit.  If you log on and have no CV's, put a strike force together and go get one!

<S> to CavemanJ for helping us organize to do just that when I logged on yesterday.  It was fun too.

I agree with Lephturn.  HTC are very into their game, and will come up with a balancing measure before too long.

Well we have gotten off the topic haven't we? Why in the world should I have to 'switch-sides' to enjoy any one aspect of this amazing sim??? Some bases are denied us for a set time once they are destroyed but regenerate eventually. Why can't the CV's be this way as well? I am not asking to be given the advantage, just the opportunity to enjoy flying,driving or gunning anything I want while logged on. Maybe the answer lies in toughening up the defenders when the numbers are against them. IE..as the number of bases for any given side dwindle slowly towards 0 the ack could become more accurate and the hangers tougher etc. I'm not whining, nor am I trying turn this into a flame war,this was a great post on a topic which needs to be discussed. I flew in B-land AW3 so I'm used to being outnumbered. BUT...we should still have the opportunity to choose what we fly/drive/gun regardless of the numbers. So what if we lose the ship every 15 minutes for 30 minutes at a  time. If we can't defend it any better then so be it. The fact of the matter is this, no one country simply based on numbers alone should be able to deny another player the ability to try out any aspect of this game. It happens to every country sooner or later does it not? There were bases in AW3 which could be destroyed but not captured. Would this work in here? C'mon folks...we need suggestions not insults,this is our sim and in the end we decide in one way or another how things will be managed. Keep this in mind while your flying, and if you see something that needs to be corrected or have an idea to improve something, please share. Just remember this, as one of my fellow countrymen said the other night, some days your the windshield and some days your the bug.
