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.

Not true in my recollection. I have seen all sides with low numbers. Does it happen to Bish now more than the others? Well, yeah. Why? I'll tell you. It is because Bish just seem to have a lot of players that will run to the other side as soon as the numbers get out of balance. Some come back some don't. There is really nothing that can be done about that. We just seem to have an abundance of these types right now. Noobs won't change that as they are a big part of the problem. If it's going to change then Bish need to attract players over to our side who will stick it out and contribute.  Beotching about the situation ain't gonna do that.

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.


And that basically is the crux of the Bish problem. They will throw a horde of peeps at an undefended field while the other side goes on a pork and capture fest and there are very few bish in the area defending. I can't tell you how many times I've seen "certain' Bish squads leave a field because they lost CAP. All kind of targets to shoot and fight with yet they leave to go attack some other undefended field. When they do capture it and the red guys come in from another field what do they do? They leave to go attack some other undefended field leaving the few of us there who will defend out numbered.

Face it. right now Nits and Rooks are just better at the war-winning part of the game right now. Like I said, complaining ain't gonna change that.

Clarification: As stated in this thread, the above field was not undefended, but my point still stands.

That’s exactly why I don't give a about the whole base taking rat wheel race anymore. It has nothing to do with strategy or war simulation, its nothing more then a base taking race.

I really don't see the fun in hording an undefended base with Lemming No's and the prospect of no decent A2A fight.

well i have no idea who this bgbmaw guy is....i cant respond to third grade "you are a liar!" comments..dont even know how....im guessing perhaps with.,,,"Am NOT!!"

LOLOL


though for a guy who i guess is in the maw who invented the horde system as far as i remember, you are funny....

as for the rest of his post...if some of the great stat readers or ht himself wouldnt mind getting that data..who has won the most resets...who got reset and what numbers have been over last year....please do..would love it....

but...dont think it solves anything....the here and now is what is important....perhaps even more the future is what is important...if this is what otjher guys have had to endure...then it sucks for them and i bet we lost players during that time period.  im having trouble seeing the future of this game...in aw we have over one thousand guys on at a time...we are now combined games with aw and other fiter sims and we about 400.  again i dont get when a fiter sim became a base grab sim..or a gv sim for that matter....

Exactly what I was gonna put. If it's no longer fun then move on. And above all else, it's only a game. See it for what it is and I bet it'll be more fun. Forget countries, wars, numbers and just log on for some good ol fashion fun.

That is all.



WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP!  :mad:

The BISH are the only ones fighting a 2 front war until we are down to 12 or so bases and the Nits & Rooks have to battle for the win.....

This wouldnt be an issue if it was a 2 front war for everyone but its just NOT!

As far as the country jumpers.... Keep em.  If they have that kind of commitment and dedication as to jump sides when things get tough... We dont need em!
  :lol

The Bish have some awesome squads that work well together and fight for a common interest, not just whiners who cant deal with training the new guys and helping get their side to be a quality fighting force.

I am relativly new to AH, and since the beginning, The BOPS have taken me under their wing and helped me get better every day. I have really enjoyed getting to know the guys and our fellow Bish every day in Combat and am proud to be a BISH.

Falc, keep em high and straight bro!

I bet I could search the BBs and find at least 2 of these threads started by a member of each country within the past 2 years....


  Mike,Mike,Mike.Ive been in this game as long as you have.Hell I flew with you in AW as a Bop.I dont see this like you do.You ALSO know Ive had nothing but respect for you and the BOP's even when you blasted the Flying Circus when we left the Bish to fill out the numbers on another side.Numbers have changed over and over in this game.I remember when you couldnt find 2 Rooks to rub together not all that long ago,and I remember when you could close your eyes and pull the trigger and hit 12 Bish in a 2 second burst.This blasting other squads for changing sides I dont get.people are trying to even things out.To give them crap is way below you.I havnt flown MA in ages but Ive kept up on the boards.Ive seen the sides change to lopsided for every side.Relax.Take a break.To say Im flying only Bish no matter what is the reason the arena is so off kilter.Some just wont change sides to even it all out because there to damn hard headed to know its the best thing for the game.Your smarter than thet.Dont be such a stubborn putz.

Wow this is comming from you hub. As soon as you get gangbanged you whine on channel 200 for a good 10 minutes. Or make a smart remark to start a fight. I enjoy the game still, Just something that i think needs to be looked at.

Yeah, I do the same. It's fun to see how many you can hook. And arguing on 200 with people is 1/2 the fun. I've seen you doing your fair share of whining yourself jet. Most(including yourself and hub) do it all tongue and cheek while some take it way to serious/personnal. I for one know for a fact that most of the whines from hub are simply to stir the pot and have some fun. Then we giggle on squad as we read the reactions.


PS: We giggle in a manly way mind you.

Well I fly for Bish and have been doing for over three years and I have not flown for any other country in the MA and never will. I do this for two reasons, 1) I fly with the 31st and we dont change countries just because we are getting beat and 2) regardless of real or virtual I will not jump sides just because things get alittle rough.

Yes the numbers have gotten out of hand. But to be honest Falconwing alot of those individuals are newvie pilots who switched because they saw the knits or rooks winning. SO they are at times easy kills. And I getting two to 3 kills a shot on each sortie in a Hurricane Mk IIC. But I also have no problems engaging aircraft even if I a out numbered. The Widow  makers found that out a couple of months ago. Engaged 4 or 5 of them and in the end shot all but one down and that was WMLute and he whipped my ass.

But then again on the other side of the coin the numbers need to have something done about them. The bish are out numbered more so then any other country has ever been outnumbered. And both knit and rooks team up and beat up on the Bish. Just the smart thing to do. OK knits out numbers us but we outnumber the Bish so who are they going to hit. Falconwing since I have flown Bish half our numbers our newbie pilots the other Half are fighting there tulips off either to capture a base or to keep one.  Like you the game does get to be no Fun when everytime you up there are so many fighting that you cant even give a check six call because you are to busy dodging and weaving and doing what you can to stay alive and take as many out as you can.

Final Thougt; Will HiTech every do anything about it? Doubt not much you can do. They would lose business if they said you cant fly with who want to and for whom you want due to numbers. Should the eny limit be over hauled yes. Dont matter if you have an ENY limit or not. 5 or 6 early war aircraft are going to be able to shot down a Spit XIV or IW.
Falconwing all we can do is fight hard and when we get shot down take some of them with us. So in the end they might win the war but they had to earn it and not just be handed it. They had to beat us and have not gotten a freebie.
