Lots of Complaining About Center Island...

[Karnak]

LYNX,

What makes you think that if I, or others like me, didn't fly in the area where the most air-to-air was happening we would suddenly find it fun to zerg buildings with you?

Has it occured to you that sans Furball island and places like it we would just log off, or maybe even cancel our subscriptions?

Your 5 furbaling Bish wouldn't go an join your 20 building battlers, they'd log off.  That leaves you with 5 less people in total and no gain in your "elite building battler" force.

[NoBaddy]

Hmm, some people simply miss the point. The MA is there for people to do what they want to do. If you want structured, "win the war" type stuff...try scenerios. That is what they are for.

Pissin & moanin about other players not helping you accomplish YOUR goals is simply silly.

Generally speaking, the only time I care about "the War" is when it impacts my game play. Guess what, that is the way the MA is designed.

As for TT, it serves its purpose (and does it fairly well). It gives GVers a chance to go toe to toe with other GVers, without tons of planes harassing them.

In the end, play the game...have fun...BUT, don't give grief to other people doing the same, just because their idea of fun isn't the same as yours .

I think this says it best. I'm not going to join in the war winning if my furball disappears. I'm gonna search around till I find a new one or log.

Three bases, each unattainable, invincible FH's, GV spawns to center, VH's indestrucable, ord disabled, all bases withing 3/4 sector, and have at it!       ..........Wait!   What was this post about?  

[Hoarach]

For me, dont know how others feel, but I dont like the whole idea of people taking bases to ruin fights.  Especially the center island=major furballs with other countries.  There really isnt any point in winning the "war" because if you fly a vehicale or plane a lot 25 perks isnt going to affect you much.  It just ruins other people's fun.  

As said by Vudak, I read people complain alot to get people help to capture bases.  If you want to capture a base, do it with people that want to help, dont complain on country channel because people dont want to capture bases or they are doing other things.  I would rather go to a furball and actually have fun then going to undefended bases to capture just to narrow the fields down to near their hq.  Which would likely end up resetting the map and some of us would have to find fights all over again.  

As said above, I would like to see center island impossible to be taken over by one country or able to pork the fields because some of actually find it fun to have fights and utterly boring to attack undefended fields.

[Delirium]

That is exactly what I do... sometimes, I think we furballers should be a little more proactive and announce on 200 when a buff formation is coming in to kill the opposing teams FH or a Gooney is coming in to capture the field.

Can you IMAGINE the complaints about us? It would be so enjoyable, as those 'Arm-Chair Generals' are the most vocal of the community.

That would be funny as hell and we should just to keep our fun going with the furballs, because everytime a good furball starts, people go around with their buffs at 15k and kills fhs.

Well that sucks!  I was hoping that he messed up typing the  "TT" and ment to  type  "TA"  .   I would take "TA" over "TT" anytime!   Oh yah!!!!!  hehe!

Only time i see a reason to win the war is when there is a map that I dont like.    the good ol days of just wanting to  "put down the other country" by winning the war is no longer in our system "heart"...  25 Perks for the win are not gunna draw the crowds,  unless maybe it is raised to like 100, even 200 perks per catagory.  Then maybe you could be spendy with them.
People may feel the need to help the cause if there was a "BiG PrizE" to aquire  

Then the country jumping may increase when a win is likely.   Maybe it would'nt,   not everybody has "winning the war" on there mind.   Some there to just fly...

Playing strategically is my thing and TT is counter productive to that.

Try to think of it this way ...

My experiences at Furball Island/Tank Town is that, for the most part, an equal amount of participants from all 3 sides are waging air and land battles. Sooooo ... if all things are pretty much equal, in manpower, participating in this area ... then it's no real sweat off anybodies arse ... everthing on the island is nullified ... EQUALLY.

It's the "Win the Fargin' War" freaks that froth at the mouth thinking that if those 20, 30, or 40 people, who are having a BLAST,  at Furball Island/Tank Town, were to join their cause (operative words here - THEIR CAUSE) then they could win the silly war and get those precious 25 perks/category and be able to sound off on CH 200 at how l33t the are and what a bunch of fumbling idiots the other 2 countries are, for not WINNING THE WAR.

I could care less what you or anybody thinks is productive or counter-productive ... I am here to appease myself first and if so inclined, I just may chip in once and awhile (for a change) and help the "almighty cause".

The point in this whole thread ... and is still lost in translation ... is ... you have OVER 100 bases  to take, bomb, pork, horde ... why mess with Furball Island/Tank Town ? If the only reason is because YOU (not you personally, but collectively) think that WE are wasting resources and NEED to be FORCED into your gameplay ... it's pitifull and wrong.

OK.  I gotta spell this out but first read my original reply at the top.  Tank TOWN (TT..lol) is somthing counter productive to my style of game play.  What I said was I do not help TT when it's in trouble.  It's counter productive and i wouldn't condone folk helping save a TT base if those players are taken out of the "World domination" game set.  In other words TT sort your own worries.

As for taking TT the only reason I ( thats me) would get involved with taking air bases or V bases is to secure the bloody reset.  Any side attempting to take TT with "Strat player" is asking to loose alot of bases doing so.

I said earlyer I'll say it again.  It seems to me the side kicked off TT usually resets or ends up with more bases discounting the theory that folk just Log.  They don't log on a terrain that don't have TT so why would they, as a majority, do so because they got turffed out of TT.

You are right when it's us "world domination" types that ***** and moan....so don't invoke it by asking for help.  Your worries your woe's.. deal it!  However, when the side is getting it's arse handed to it then we ***** and moan again.  Unjustly in for mind and prolly so.

We do however agree on one thing and thats to have fun while your there.  We just have different ways of dealing the fun out.

And as for the perky reset point.  I personally couldn't give a hoot.  I'll earn that or a good share of them in a day.

Channel 200 boasting or even using 200 is for the folk that like to talk bollox what would you expext from anyone tuned to it.  " oh well done chaps.  you really beat us bad...good show.  Great flying tacticle skills".  Their gonna talk bollox...period

Needless to say I am a blessed saint and don't tune...well hardly ever.  I do use TT at times but it's a stop gap.

what is even scarier is i'd say 90% of the time i understand what he is trying to say, though worded poorly LMAO

what's the most scary about all this is when i am not at the PC and relaxing, i am thinking about threads, and what is being said LMFAO

Cooley?  I want you to try something. Can you put your finger on the dot in the brackets below?

Ok!


 Fingering that dot above demonstrates the amount of "skill" needed to knock down a "shed" in the MA.  The dot doesn't move nor fight back either.

 Believe me. It has nothing to do with being "too hip" or not.

I am not answereing for Cooley.  He's capable of doing so himself.  I'll chip in on my own behalf.  You are correct with finger on dot theory but let us assume you know what "strat targets" on a field are.  Now lets assume the nearist enemy field is about to take yours.  Now let's assume there are JUST 5 cons protecting that enemy field.  Now lets assume the ack is fully up.  Now lets asume you have every intention of RTB after completing your mission.  We'll assume it's a small field.

You still want to have a go at putting your finger on the dot? Matey load up a p47 / p51 / 110/ p38/ A20.  Take what ever you please but go with enough "Ords" to take out dar barracks and 2 ammo bunkers in 2 passes.  Believe me a third pass is doom.  Come back here and tell me you landed ok.

You are assuming us strat guys are only interested in going uninhabited bases to blow "wendy's or Jack in the box" away in town.  You are assuming "we" have little interest in dog fighting.  You assume to much and ackowledge little.  Yes, an undefended base is a prize...you capture it complete and can advance.  We love a good fight inbetween the land grabbing.  We like landing kills.  We also like to stop the enemy ADVANCE by porking the ****e outta their bases.

Assume away all u like but i'll put money on cooley being a good dogfighter.  I'll put money on cooley completing a pork mission.  I like think I can do the same.

When folk talk of furballing I have visions of endless "click,fly, die" types squabbling around on the deck.  getting 2 or 3 kills before, inturn, they die.  I don't think of ACM or SA.  Just endless uppers and downers.  Dog fighting and landing kills should have another name.  I think we are cherry pickers.  So, are you a cherry picker or a 200 ft furballer?  Which would you think best re-enacts the WW11 scenerio or is it all just a arcade game?

I've been showing a coworker this game lately...and we fought on the center island all evening.  Had a good time.  Even more so after turning off channel 200 and ignoring the country channel that seemed to continue to bark orders for what we *should* be doing.

Who stinkin cares?  Go have a good time.

Well lets screw it all and have 3 seperate Islands with 3 untakable bases...verious ALT for beginer, novice and vet.  Have those Islands 10 miles apart because who can be arsed to ride 11 miles.  Lets kick out all the bombers and all the jabo planes.  Lets have a dot .re-arm in flight flight option.  Oh screw it lets just have unlimited ammo / fuel.  LET call it Furballamania High or Low if GV-ing is your hit.

Hold on I'm going off deep end style.  Why not have a 4 whole different arena for Gv-ers, furballers, dog fighters and strat guys.
