If you fly into a horde your still gonna get gangbanged.
If you actually WANT to fight, this is your only choice. Ok there are occasional, although of VERY short duration, areas of fun fights. These are usually off a CV before it gets sunk by 50' Lancs or the CV ups so many the field gets vulched. Sometimes there's some between close fields.
If you try to up from a capped base your still going to get vulched.
Alot of times it's the only way to get a chance to fight less than 20 vs 1. Also in less than 10 mins flying time.
Don't get me wrong, the update was nice. I like the new stuff in the game it's the mindset of the players that is screwy. It reminds me of the old days in AW when you have to climb to 25k for 10 mins fly around some more and finally find a fight. Then if you get angles on them they dive to the deck so you can fly around some more (and your about out of fuel in AH2 now) or dive down and try to get that one kill before it's time to RTB.
For me that's not fun. It was ok I guess 5-6 years ago but old now. I would like to see folks grab to 5k and mix it up in between 'close' bases. It's just alot more FUN, that's what I'm here for. Me Levi and Wadke were trying to have some fun the other night. Best the rooks would give us was 20:3. They were all flying timid, keeping their alt and b-n-zing ad-nauseum. Verrry boring.
I hate to say this for the simple reason that I don't have a good suggestion to fix it. I really think closer fields helps, I do think the small maps are too small for 400+. People also think small maps mean closer fields but they don't.
Perks for reset probably doesn't help either. Anyway this should be enough to solicit endless flames, just really bored at work and thought I'd have my say. Flame away and cya up.
