when everytime you up you got atleast 3-5 guys wanting to kill you.

Didn't I post a film not too long ago that totally contests this statement? Or are we practicing selective memory?

1- I've played AH for one year now.
2- I've been a Bishop and BOP always, and that never will change.
3- During that amount of time, of which my memory is quite clear, this has been the longest duration of low Bishop numbers I have witnessed.

It's usually a tea party in the Knights camp as we all continue to strive for excellence and purity amoung the masses. We completely understand why you might feel just a bit gaurded about the decay of the Bishops and thier struggles to gain independence for the over-powering forces.

We don't know what it will take to help these poor souls, we would hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel, even if it's a worn out pen light stolen from a Doctors office.
Same goes for that group called the Rooks. No one really knows why the Rooks are they way they are. Their just there, hanging on day after day, fight after fight.
Maybe it was their upbringing? Maybe it's because all the other countries constantly pick on them and now it's taking a toll? Maybe they got their lunch money stolen again
No one really knows, it's just the way things are. I honestly believe it's because their made to fly around in those silly little planes with that Rook symbol above their heads. Kind of like having to wear a dunce hat. Oh well I guess some things are better left to sort themselves out rather than to start medaling into someone's affairs.

Well, gotta run the Knights are having another benefit dinner BBQ for all the Nit squads that have donated so much of their time become a better class of human and game player!

Are there 2 countries called Knights? This sounds nothing like the Knights I fly for!...

Falcn...you are just plain dillusional. I can't count the number of times I've had pep talks with my squaddies who don't enjoy upping vulched fields as much as I doduring periods of weeks, even months when we (knights) were perpetually being ganged. It must have just been so rare for bish to be outnumbered that you're just now noticing it.......btw..the Screenie jetb posted was at the time of reset which as we all know is the most exagerated numbers condition since the noobs on the losing side will have either jumped to another country or logged off in frustration.

Just move back a base, man up, and max climb to the fight!!sheesh!

Just two nights ago the Bish threw 35 planes at a Vbase on FesterMA that didn't have anyone defending it. If that isn't horde gangbanging, I don't know what is.

This one's falling on deaf ears. ENY has fixed the problem before and probably will again, unless toolshedders are content with using early war rides to pork their strats in order to get their precious reset perks.

Deal with it. Target rich environments rule.

Um, mic check. ONE LTAR WAS A ROOK FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

Rooks don't WHINE ABOUT NUMBERS. We don't have time to, we follow the red darbars that rarely fight each other, and do the best we can, NOT TO LOSE (except CV's, our Fleet Admiral is Hazelwood). You whiners got the Eny Perk Limiter, and you are STILL CRYING. I find this BEYOND hilarious. Bottom line, the best sticks in the game fly Rooks.

Yeppers! I am one who fully appreciated seeing the 479th (Riddles Raiders) come to our side as I've flow with and against them for years and have never had a problem with them since I began flying in 3 or 4 of 1996. They are the only group that I've seen lately move over to the Bish side and they are greatly appreciated! The problem with Bishland seems to be in the amount of new folks that get placed here and learn enough to get them in trouble and then jump to the sides with the most numbers. I don't think that HTC can correct this as it will happen to any country with the ability to switch sides in the game. I was always a fan of the two country war but what happens when everybody or a mass of players only fly with one of the two countries? It's a paradox of sorts with no real solution in sight. Some of us cannot join in the real meat of AH (the scenerios and special events), just because our real life jobs prevent us from being flexible and the MA is our only fix for our addiction to fly and/or drive and fight. One problem is you just can't move the entire squad to a country with the press of a mouse button in our current environment but it may be a partial solution to the problem of the hording and massing if an entire squad could move at the whim of a button press. BTW FalconWing, I was saying exactly what you stated in your first post on this subject yesterday morning to some of our squaddies on squad channel.

All the Best...

I know this is a dead horse but, for me...

...this game has not been "Fun" since they implemented the AWACS radar system. What would make this game "fun" again IMO is to go back to the old style radar (early warbirds) where you just get an arrow on the map pointing to the direction of enemy aircraft. That is basically all you had in WW2, GC gave you the approx size, alt and heading of a group of Enemy AC and it was up to you to find them. They did not have a MFD in the cockpit with a dot on it for every a/c on the whole planet, complete with IFF...

i am not gonna respond to those who think i am delusional or whining...suffice to say to them:rofl

however for those who are being constructive here i want to say thank you. this is obviously not just a bish problem. but i will say that i feel there is definitely a meanspiritedness that becomes exaggerated by base taking as the goal to win. i agree that bish did have numbers for periods of time but we were always ganged and thus did not often win..you did not see me post then becuz i dont care about winning..i care about fair fun for all...knits and rooks included.

i find it more then amusing that the most negative responses come from the very guys we know like to geton ch 200 and taunt. i have not seen them flying for the inferior number countries. they are not that skilled. it must be nice ot bring a 20k tiffie or 51 or 190 over an outnumbered fight and cherry guys and rtb. ive never known that. you wil find me fiting and dying where the country is the weakest...that simple

karaya..pls note that eny only seems to apply to the country with the most numbers and not to 2 countries if the third is outnumbered badly...see jetb's post

as to stangs ignorant post...he is refering to vbase 70 which is a key base to preventing reset....rooks kept getting up flaks and hiding in the woods...we decided to up a mission and take it back...this upset him greatly...we were outnumberd 175 knit 157 rooks and 90 bish at the time. we were down to about 12 bases and losing more each time....was a strategic move and it helped cut off some avenues for attack. since i have never seen him goon, buff or defend i understand why this incomprehnsible to him. i wish i could chat as much negativity as he does on ch 200. too bad he has to participate in here as well. he didnt have aproblem with rooks overwhelming us at 3 other bases at that time.

Falconwing, the RookBishKnight hoarding accusations have been going on for years in this game, and will continue to do so. I suggest you stop fighting against it, since you will only find frustration and futility. The MA is really only 1/2 of the experience AH has to offer. Limit your time in the Main Arena, and find time to join some of the Special Events AH has to offer. You will find that you almost never have to think about side balance any more, and you will enjoy your online time MUCH more. Check out the link in my signature line, and brouse the calendar of events.

Every one of you crybabys thinks your country gets ganged. I listen to it all night from the Knights, the Rooks whine about it, the Bish whine about it..........

WE HAVE 3 COUNTRIES YOU NINNIES!! EVERYBODY IS FLYING A 2 FRONT WAR!! GET OVER IT AND GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR REAR ENDS.

That is all.

Upset me? No, I thought it was frikkin hillarious.

It took you guys two massive missions to get that base... the first time 3 of us stopped like 20+ of you.

Falco.....YOU ARE A LIAR

oh..so I guess this year has been "tuff " for you ..LMFAO..

seriously We are seeing your slip showing

Knights were outnumbered for many...many months...
Oh..it wasnt during this last year?..big deal

AGAIN..YOU ARE A LIAR

Knights have had plenty of time being outnumbered..Grow a pair
To say Knights have always had numbers is really really ignorant..

How about this..Show us proof to your claims..Not just this last month..or whatever..Lets see your stats for the last 2-3 years

JetB/...are you a clueless dolt?.....are we talking juts about the last couple months?..Are you new to this game..you must be

Becuase If you havent been playing consistently for the last few years..YOU KNOW NOTHING about numbers and sides

they have all had there ups and downs

I wish I could send a virtual B-slap to all of you whinning "castratis'.....credit to shane
