Maybe if some of them would quit complaining about being outnumbered and spend more time getting organized and recruiting with a tactic other than a pity plea, they'd have better luck.
I don't much care about flying against a group outnumbered 2:1 either. But my squad is a Rook squad, and I'm sure they'll stay a Rook squad. And why should anyone switch to make someone else happy anyway?
On the other hand, I have seen the Knights and the Bishops work together against the Rooks plenty, so the constant whine about two countries with numbers beating on the one without is bogus as well. It doesn't stop when the smallest country is no longer in danger of being reset either.
The numbers issue is nothing new, it is older than AH, and it is cyclic. It will turn around. It always has.
If it doesn't, then perhaps some should take a look at their outnumbered country, and see if maybe there's a reason why it's short of people. I'm sure there are plenty of people looking to switch, I mean, after all, they can go to another country, and then they too can cry out, "Rook no talent ganging horde", and "alt monkey Rooks". Really, after all, that constant barrage of insults and whining is bound to win over hundreds of people.
Oh yeah, go ahead and flame me real good now, and tell me how easy it is for me to talk. Make sure you say something about the no talent no skill Rooks who can only get kills with mass numerical superiority and 5K altitude advantage. That'll make it nice and easy for me to prove my point, won't it?
No comment on you talent or skill can explain you apparent ignorance.
1 Bish do organize with the numbers they have.
2 There are skilled pilots plenty.
3 You are wrong about the countries without numbers (Working together)
4 The (Numbers Issue) is much more pronounced these days than ever in the history of AH
Never has the Odds been this high.
5 And yes you are correct...There has been 2 more complete squadrons that made the change to ..You guessed it..ROOK in the last 3 weeks. And yep...there are more talking swithc at present. Guess where they are going? YEP Rook again.
Why? Because they are tired of being outnumbered.
6 The whines of the outnumbered are going to continue to grow every day. And it is totally waranted whether you like it or not.
Its just not going to be enough with these odds.
Cmon over and take a beating with the bish or nits for a year.
Then explain how youd rather fight than switch.
These are gameplay issues...not personal attacks on any individual.
HT should do something to bring balance to the numbers.
Then we will se how organized Bish and Nits are when they KICK Rook Arses into submission.
After all...even though the odds have been extreemy against them for quite some time now...They have done very well holding off the Rook masses.
Most of us thought things would balance out by now...(Over a year now)
But i think most are getting real tired waiting for the balance to return.
