You strat guys want everything to be easy. Make it easy to stop the fight by letting me pork all the fuel at a base with one P51 and make it take 10 trips to resupply 25%.
Please line up all the hangers so we can stop the fighting in one drop from one box of bombers, God forbid I have to line up more than once.
You guys whine about it being to hard to do this or to hard to do that. Furballers whine about there not being any fights. There is a big difference.
Then guys like you try to make some absurd idea stick as if we dont want bombers or strat players. That is not the case. Do we want intelligent bombers and tool shedders? Yes. Ones that can enter an area read the situation and do what is needed? Yes. Do we want stratters that just see a fight then think they have to stop that fight at all costs, FK NO.
When I go to a field hoping for a furball and notice that it is really concerted base capture effort, I help the base capture. I don't try to stop the base capture. When stratters come to a field and see a furball they stop the furball. They could go take some other base and let the furballers be, but no they have to come in and fk it up. That is where the problems lie. That is where this game sucks the most.
Marsie, sit down. Are you sitting? 'Cause I don't want you to faint and fall down and split your head open on the corner of a table or something when I say this.
Are you ready? OK.
The game is not all about you, or me, or any one other person. Are you sure you're sitting down?
Neither you nor I have any material effect on the overall game. In other words, our individual feelings/needs/thoughts/desires are not impacting the game in any meaningful way. And to be honest, I probably care less about your fun than you care about mine.
The only reason we even have these little talks is because of your CONSTANT WHINING about how your fun is being ruined by all those other kiddies in the sandbox that keep taking your sand away and playing with your bucket.
Every time I log on to this BBS there is a new post by one of you children about how you're being victimized by the mean old people who break your toys, and somehow have an advantage over you in numbers or ordnance or ease of killing your stuff or some other BS reason.
Are you still sitting down?
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN OUTCOMES. If somebody does something to you, do something back. But don't whine about how the game is "ruined" or "there aren't any skilled players" or "it's all beneath my ability level" or "it's boring". Get a pair, man.
You don't like what I do? Stop me. I can be shot down. My bases are as vulnerable as yours. Last night you should have learned that missions (no, we're not a horde, we are acually organized) can be stopped in their tracks. Your friends did it.
I don't whine about how "hard" it is to take a base. I revel in the challenge, and think of new ways to overcome the difficulties. In fact, I agree that the simple mode bombing and aligned hangars are not challenging enough. Very few Strat players complain about the strat--they complain about YOU and your playmates trying to change the conditions to suit you. Again, grow a pair. Learn to overcome difficulties, and win against the odds.
