What I do when I log on is look for where there is a fight.  Since there is seldom a fight at a base that isn't being vulched (by enemy or friendly doesn't matter, it's no fun either way), I usually try to intercept the flow of enemy planes into a base being attacked.  This way I can find a fight without having being ganged, or joining the gang.  Some time later, I look and  check for curiosity whether I'm fighting bish or rook.  This week all the good fights have been against rook.  The reason being, I think, that we got over those dang mountains early on and so therefore don't have to fly through oneo fo those passes to get to a fight.  No truce in effect, just geography.

You started out stating as fact something that was only your perception - an alledged truce between the Knights and Bishops, these statistics 100% refute that.
 
In fact, 54% of all the Bishops kills and deaths are not vs. the Rooks at all , but vs. the Knights.  Additionally even a majority of Knights kills are vs. the Bishops.  (Odd behavior for two supposed allies)

Like they say, you can lead a horse to water...  If you want to be pissed off and quit the game - fine that is up to you -  but lets give the consipracy theories a break.

The Rooks have had it easy, with the numbers etc.  Most of the Knights and Bish have gotten used to being overwhelmed and adjusted instead of quitting, even you yourself said but yet you lost a base, so you quit.  Something doesn't add up.


Ya... Rooks organize and plan.

Bish/Knit cry to poppa to make them quit.

Yup ... well, scenarios are one of the great learning experiences and Skuzzy just put up the Rangoon forums, so I best get cracking.

....and who cares about low level b17's.  It's ghey, but nowhere near as ghey as being able to strafe down a CV.

But i have noticed that the Baltic map is the exception. The NE usally gets reset..Or pressed the hardest.
In some cases the NW get pressed. But i has been a rare occasion that the SE on Baltic got reset

I didn't fly at all this weekend, but when I flew last week, it was Trinity that was up.

On this map ...

Knights in the North-East

Rooks in the South-East

Bish in the West.

Knight-Bish Front: Massively high mountains or long strech of water. A very BORING front. Most fights are between A199 (Knights) and A145 (Bish) and the CV that constantly flow between the two.

Knight-Rook Front: No massively high mountains and no long strech of water. There are too many fileds to list that present themselves with good fights and short distances to the fight.

DoK ... this is where you were you see the "implied" truce.

If the Knights were in the South-East, you would have observed and "implied" truce between the Rooks and the Bish ... ganging the Knights. This is a simple fact of this map and its design.

What I find intriquing is the nature of the complaint...the rooks invented low level carpet bombing. I flew rook for a bit and as I posted thought it was a great bunch who worked very well as a team. They did two things very well (besides communicating)...

They constantly take the fight over the enemy bases that could counter the "main attack"...the obvious theory being if your busy evading or get sucked into a low level fight (often against just a few guys) you cant get alt and counter the main effort...

They also ran multiple NOE buff formations at the main target...basically the intecepting fighters take massive damage and have no alt...the inbound fighters have alt & E and pork the fuel/ammo/ack and the buffs carpet bomb the field and town.

Basically all you have is a whine saying stop using OUR tactics against us....

Now, I happen to agree with him, low level buff runs aren't in the "spirit of the game"....funny how it never bothered the rooks before however:)

I sort of figured out that as soon as my enjoyment is determined by other people doing things that I approve of I don't have fun. Because they don't.

When I just fly for me and the hell with everything else I tend to have a good time.

But I don't do ALOT of hours.

Cry me river DoKGonZo.  The stats say diffrent.

Also, it's mostly the rooks that have introduced and extesively have used some of the tactics you are now crying about.  so, don't get so rightous  now.

Go cry a river, the rooks dished it with out much complaint, now its time to eat...

And you would know about that phrase better than anyone, except in your case it's preceded by "Bend over."
