So every finn in AH2 will be in CT nonstop, and steamroll anyone else who shows up? Been there, done that, cured me of any interest in CT

Sorry. Now that I've vented, I feel much better.

actually you are wrong on that count in my timezone. Most likely either a JG2 or JG54 flyer will hand you your head during peak US play time. When the Finns are on that usually represents a great opportunity to hone my skills as they are great players and great sportsmen as well. I'll be hoping you show up, bring some friends you are going to need them.

one of my favorite setups. It was pretty even when I was on last and I was russian. Was fun killing FM2's for a change and seeing how other people flew em.

I tried to fly in the CT on Saturday, but I suffered from whatever bug causes invisible planes. The problem persisted even after rebooting the computer, so I just gave up and wrote off the CT for good.

The invisible planes are a bug of the FinRus map, it happens only if you came in from another arena but it shouldn't be happening if you came straight to CT after restarting the game... Happens on SEA and CT both when this map is on.

Sorry to hear that Simaril...

We usually try to balance the sides (usually splitting the squads in ½) unless it is a special occasion. Like a Friday or a Saturday, when we're all drunk and want to have a nice conversation on our VOX

Several months ago I really wanted to give the CT a chance. i won't belabor the problems I ran in to, but the higher level of sportsmanship and balance I expected to find just wasnt there. The last straw for me came when i upped as russian against the finns, and ofund myself completely and totally outnumbered. I texted the equivalent of "teams!?!" several times -- but the Finnish contingent explained that this was their favorite scenario, because it covered THEIR national history, and they didnt want to fly for the bad guys agianst their nationals. I completely understood, I upped anyway.

I got vulched twice, and the third time when I upped with nearly even odds a Finn suicided to Ho me rather than run to safety when my friendly chased him.

In other words, CT looks like the MA with tiny numbers and a limited plane set. At least in the MA, there are enough combat zones that I can find one to suit my tastes on a given day.

"The CT looks like the MA" whine again. Ok let me try this once more. If you have the arena with even a small number of people like...er....um ...hmmm YOU!!! who happens to be an MA player then it is naturally going to take on the the characteristics of MA play. If you come on (more than once) when you see many CT regulars on then you will see a significant difference in the play style. That doesn't mean you will not be vultched or ganged at times. It means that you will generally see lots less of it. Every player has their "off day" Yesterday I got so angry at some HurriIIc HO'rs that once I shot him down down I repeatedly vultched him 'til he left griping about the CT being teh suck. Generally I won't do that though. The best fights IMHO is when you have those tiny numbers you guys disdane. generally you'll see players like 1duke1, slash27, VWE001, N7, Redd, RedDog, Rhye2 and others that are equally proficient that I have simply forgotten to name (but will promptly recall after hitting "submit reply") anyone of those players will tear you (or me) a new rectum while eating a sandwich and dodging wife/GF ack. But many of you MA l33ts won't ever find out. will ya's? No matter the CT is fun, more fun than the MA and I play both. The truth is i believe I do much better in the MA but I get challenged more in the CT.

huh? Because of a bug? Seems odd coming from you but what ever. I always enjoyed trying to kill you. Great learning experience. That particular bug sucks and usually relogging fixes it. I did however have to relogg several times one night to get it working. It was annoying. But I didnt write the place off, so suck it up!:D

Simaril, this isnt a "what I dont like about the CT" thread. Its a friendly post to advise those intrested of the current CT set up. Troll elsewhere please. Im sure Humble can help you out.

btw The CT is what you make of it.

you have turds in MA

and you have turds in CT, I just ran into 3 of them all trying to kill me at the same

but you are more likely to find a 1 v 1, 2 v 2, 2 v 1 fite you'll remember in CT than you are in MA

usually you will be left alone to finish a good 1 v 1 fight in CT (unless you are surrounded by CT score potatos) even CT has a few of those ..

I remember you, Simaril, was nice having you there.

I imagine that part of the "I didn't like the CT" feeling is that you really have to spend a month or so there to get to know it better. Same thing happens to me, in reverse: I've never spent much time in the MA, certainly not a continuous month. Maybe I'd like it if I did. But since I don't, all I notice is the constant ganging and vulching, and the almost total absence of pre-1945 airplanes.
