Thanks guy for the salutes and support.

Again, this thread isn't about LTAR, what we fly or what we drive, it's about field porking.

The whole arena knows the Bish are down on numbers on a regular basis, I do not have the answers on how to address this.
I wish it were even across the board, but it's not.

Seems like the issue of "land grab" comes up a lot {not saying this is bad, wrong, right or indifferent} but stated as if it's something negitive?  Isn't this the objective of the "game" to reset the other two countries by capturing bases?  

It's as if there's a group of "we don't care about bases, we just wanna dogfight"
While this is perfectly fine {it is an air combat game} you still have XX number of guys that want to achieve victory by taking fields and making captures. Both have a place in the arena, but you can't get mad at either party for playing or doing what they like.

I see a lot more gritty tooth and nail "fighting" and "dogfighting" at a base that someone's trying to take that isn't "porked" that at fields were everything is wiped out 5 fields back on both sides, it pulls the wind out of both sails.

My 2 cents

Since switching to Bishop I've noticed that furball means 30 planes vultching the poo poo out a base. You die trying to up.... or you can take off from a base 2 sectors away.... and still run into 3 or 4 18k P51's or FW190's while climbing out. It's very exciting.  :D

I M3 alot of bases back to fully up (it's free gv perks and a really down base can pay about 2 perks a resupply). still when i have to start 50 miles from the front lines, and resup it's a major pain. specially when i have base 1---2----3----4 resupplied and base 2 gets porked, then 4, then 3, then im back to where i started. all from the same 190. people usually don't pork ord unless it's a coastal base and there is a CV near. past that ord is a target of oppertunity for some extra perks if scored attack or bomber. I'd like to see supplies a seperate building and requiring abit more ord than troops or dar or ord. after all, theres minimal explosives in it (so it shouldn't blow up like ord), there's not many people in it to kill (troops being strafed by explosive cannon rounds while sleeping), and no odd looking tower sticking up full of electronics to fry. it's crates of general stuff. put it in a stable building like a hanger (or a tool shed literally). would make it take atleast 1k ord. yeah most planes can carry this. difference is most pilots value thier speed moreso than carrying a cumbersome 1000lb egg. or they want thier DT's so they can make it to thier variouse fields on thier route of porking.


BTW, i want to know how you LTAR's hit the 28-32 shots so accuratly in tanks. im only about 40% on em and that seems good for most of the MA gv'ers except yall.

The map where there the triangular center island is mostly GV bases with an airfiled each corner?
Prior to the trees update me and Topgunz were killing Panzers in a Tiger at ranges (gunsite at top of screen almost) even todays tanks can't. Est 4k+ easily.

Porking : Don't know if its possible, but maybe just make airfield strats killable only by eggs/rocks.

Yes I pork- One of the main reason is to try a coax the country I'm porking to go hit the other side for a while. Once ord/troops, DTs, (sometimes fuel 75%) are unavailable close, most go to another base or area.
