I have to disagree with several of my squad mates and many of my countrymen (Bish) about the numbers situation. True it can be very frustrating to be numericaly overwhelmed in what seems to be a more often than not situation.
I for one, like the challenge. It does at times get old but in order to counter the challenge different strategies need to be employed. It gets old trying to up from a capped field. Since one side may be at a numerical disadvantage, measures need to be taken to minimize that disadvantage. This means, in my opinion. upping from a field thats further away from the main battle. It means spending time climbing to altitude to give you a little advantage. This herein lies part of the problem. In our "immediate gratification" mentality, there are few that want to do that.
I understand that some people may only have a limited amount of online time to play the game and that doesnt fit into their playing style. But when fighting at a numerical disadvantage different tactics need to be employed. It also requires teamwork. I am ready to join missions that others create. I am not a mission planner, I am a mission follower. I have not seen a large amount of cohesiveness displayed amongst the Bish. Everyone seems to want to fight their own battle. Again that is understandable for each person pays their money to play their way.
I call on all Bish who read this to respond back if you are interested in working together to counter the numerical disadvantage. Lets have squads work together with various roles to achieve a common objective. We may not win the war but if we focused on certain areas we can win our own "little" wars. This tactic was used to much success by the Rooks when they started their Sunday joint operations or whatever it was called. There are several squads with large numbers that if combined and work together can make a major dent. There are also smaller squads that can either join in or create diversionary strikes or create screens to help the main push succeed.
Maybe what I am looking for will materialize in the forthcoming TOD. What makes this game interesting for me may not be interesting for the others.
In conclusion, any Bish that are interested in joint squad ops speak up. Rather than complain about the numbers (In war numbers are more often than not equal) lets work together to devise a strategy that can work.
Well those are my thoughts, I am open for suggestions. Thanks for reading.
