It's nice that the game can accomadate many different interests and styles. I look forward to ToD to open up even more mission types and features.
I agree with that.  I can't wait for the change in the MA when TOD actually happens.:D

It's up to the flight leader to set the right mood for this sort of thing. If the mission is a fighter sweep... i.e. a REAL Combat Air Patrol (CAP), then preventing/interdicting enemy is the goal. Flying to the nearest red dot is not always the goal - sometimes, you keep your alt and wait for the big prize. Unescorted buffs at 25K, sometimes you have a low CAP and look for the solitary goon struggling to remain undetected.

     The point is - landing without kills after a semi-long flight isn't a huge disappointment. Sometimes the mission is to provide security for the flanks of the real operation. Good squads rotate their missions around a little so as not to make it boring doing the same thing over and over.

I do wonder how the MA may change. I mean, I imagine that the pork-n-auger crowd and 1337 G3nUrUlz! will remain. I'm not really sure who will be drawn away from the existing MA player base.

You don't have to fill up those wittle boxes so it can be read by the machine thing. It's an essay test of fifty words or less.

1. Would a flight sortie regardless of length, that you landed be considered a waste of time in your opinion if you didn't have a fight ??


What did you expect, an indepth analisys of flying around in a computer doing nothing.:D

Not necessarily.  When friends are on and we are BS'ing, I could care less about the game.

you've never heard of jaxxo?

he shot me down almost 100 times in AH1, i know who he is.

and i am a newbie

:confused:

as far as a sortie being a waste of time or not:

anytime spent flying in AH is an oppertunity for fun. if you dont make it fun in some way, then you are wasting your own time, not having it wasted.

Then you must care a lot about the game, since you have few friends and they are hardly online.
