Yup....getting bored. And in this post I'm not going to criticize anyone for their style of gameplay. It's their 15 dollars and everyone should be able to spend their time here in the way they wish. Horde flying...1K alt Bombers....dive bombing B24s etc. All who are doing that have paid for their right to play that way. So as I said before....I am NOT criticizing anyones gameplay.
I am going to explain the way I like to play....and circumstances I've run into in the last 4 to 6 weeks playing Aces High. I am not taking my ball home so others can't play...and I'm not going to belittle others for the way they chose to play.
I like a good fight....from 1 on 1 to even 10 on 10! Nothing better then a good turnfight BnZ slugfest amongst evenly matched numbers and a mix of planes that turn, climb and roll well. I prefer...and I say "I" meaning that this is what I like to do is fly a craft that usually is not the bomb in speed or maneuverability. I like a challenge. Can't run from a fight usually but have to stay and fight it out.
Instance 1) Have a nice four and four going. Planes reupping and coming back into the fight. Other players notice.....and instead of a four on four it becomes a 15 to 20 on four. Doesn't matter which country, it appears all sides guilty. Horde flying isn't monopolized by any one country....all 3 do it. To prove it just check your map. On big maps....usually at most 3 HUGE fights (Hordes) and scattered milk running and Jabos. 75%to 85% of the map is a complete waste at all times usually, from my point of view anyway live in the East.
Numbers rule. Just like in war usually the biggest most consistant sized horde will win...90% of the time. Can't beat Math as a statistic verifier. Just look (all countries) you have the biggest dar bar in the grid chances are great you're the winner.
Again....this imho....all pay to play, and all have the right to play the way they want.
Instance 2) I've seen more chogs up doing nothing but HO. Now a HO shot is a legitimate shot! But once they miss the HO it's off to the races after you've reversed them. I've seen more timidity and even heard over VOX how if ya bail before yadada yadadaa you don't give the enemy a kill. In the last week alone after reversing and catching upto an enemy craft I've had them bail 4 times to avoid being killed.
Instance3) Apar and myself and a few others went to the DA just to get some one vs. ones, try out different planes etc. And guess what??? You guessed it some jerk shows up vulching the fights and the runway. Sooooooo
I love evenly matched fights...don't care what the opponent flies just evenly matched fights 2 on 2, 7 on 7 etc. that's where the exhilaration of combat flying simulation is at it's best. 5 on 25 don't get it. Don't like being part of a horde and I don't like flying into one either. Don't care what alt anyone flies, hell fly 80K for all I care just come down and fight and don't bring 862 of your friends.
The Lord sayeth " And the Hordes begat Hordes" Often times on big maps the only option of flying a fighter is flying into a Horde. Again you pay your money if that's how you chose to play well play it that way. I pay mine also! And I miss the evenly matched encounter, the ! to an opponent or group of opponents whom you've bested...or who have bested you.
Remember their is no amount of ACM that will get you home when you're alone and fighting 10 to 15. The fight between two evenly matched groups usually ends up being one sided so others can dive in and pick up a few freebies while the others have worked hard for their victories. All 3 sides do it. Bish, Rook, and Knit. I know the juvenile minds in the group will point fingers in this post...they did etc. I said all 3 sides do it.
So taking a break....not quitting....TOD sounds like my cup of tea so to speak. goal oreinted and team oriented without the Horde from the CapitalOne Bankcard group commercial diving in on your evenly matched fight and stealing a kill or 2 from those who have been turning, burning , and stalling for the last 10 minutes.
That's my idea of fun gameplay....yours' may differ and I do respect that.
