If they came out with a FT, we wouldn't want EVERYONE to go. 30% is a lot of people concidering the MAs population and the fact that there would only be 3 fields. I for one for definitely make the move

The problem with that is 3 countries,we need only 2 countries.

I'll never forget Rocstar's missions

He always ran the best missions Hands down,and when we arrived to take the base a huge Furball always started up.What ever happened to
ROCKSTAR?

This has actually been a civilized conversation about this subject.I noticed Morpheus has been very respectful for a change,and yet someone who disagree's with his opinon has to start the name calling.

Now..If HTC provided an arena that had no bombers, or capture, only ack to protect against vulchers (hvy), and just 3 bases, set up much like the donut,no cost on planes, and was called FighterTown Arena, Im willing to bet, most of the people would STILL NOT go there.

In my opinion, most people, most, not all, want to simply rack up kills, a large percentage by strictly vulching, and want everyone to see

SYSTEM: FiLtH lands 9 victories in a B24

Its nothing to be ashamed of, I like to rack up a bunch too. Im just curious who honestly, if given a fightertown utopia, would use that as their primary arena. Less than 30% Im thinking.The MA is what it is.

FiltH , would be just as interesting to see who would be piss'n and moaning' about Fighter Town too, especally if fighter town could not be killed, and had no bareing on the outcome of the war for the MA Map .....
One thing for sure , this on going debate would be over ....

But, wouldn't that turn the furballers into toolsheders?!??!?

DON'T FALL FOR IT, IT'S A TRICK!!!

Back away slowly, and return to the furball. Nothing to see here.

Ouch out

no, but there is a place for destroying toolsheds for no appearent reason, you should check it out

Perhaps you should check out A41, 42 and 43. Looks like a big donut, 3 5K bases around it...........

maybe I will switch to bombers now:cry

Yes Luke, and toolshedding IS the dark side of the Force.

There is only madness and darkness for those who follow that path.

Also we seem 2 categorize toolshedders and furballers from the posts u read by 5-10 players. They do not represent furballers or toolshedders community. They might be one but do not represent everyone under furballers or toolshedders. So all this hoop la about toolshedders vs furballers not getting along is really just 10-15 players that seem 2 be at odds on the bbs.

Don't go making sense here, noob! Now move along....

A fighter is far more easy to kill and keep down than is a flack. I've seen 10 guys straffing a flack that made its way to the town while the goon was 10 minutes out. The flack got to the town and killed every troop with its pintle gun. Now wouldnt it have been a hell of alot easier to kill the VH and just vulch any planes trying to up?

I've seen far more Goons go down to aircraft getting up than from a Osti getting from base to town. If a couple of those 10 guys had been carrying bombs.........but it was probably beneath them, ergo flack one troops zero.

Wrong again. The chances that someone is going to keep rolling after they've been vulched 2, 3 or 4 times are small to none.

I see guys doing this all the time unless the cap is totally overwhelming and sometimes even then. These guys are Fighter Pilots and engage while low and slow and I have seen them bust more than a few caps. But you have to be at the base under attack to see them.

Wrong, I used to run missions that had 30-40 sometimes many more, players in them 3-4 years ago when I was still flying with the Mafia when it was still run by tzr and MDJOE. And yes we took the bases we were after. We'd also run fighter sweses, jabo runs to pork bases or what have you. They were all organized back then and successful 99.9% of the time.

3-4 Years ago? I would of thought from what I have read that AH didn't have GVs back then and only like 50 people that knew everybody else.

Oh, and your still flying with the Mafia but a different one. I think it was Storch that said it. Blue Velvet Mafia.

Anyone ever notice how, now that the player base has increased drastically and the horde mentality of the land-grab has gotten worse, missions have nearly gone extinct? I dunno if this explains anything RE the toolshedder vs furballer debate... it's probably only a far off tangent, but it's something that I've come to notice as a very negative turn in the evolution of AHII.

Use good language.

Scrap, FWIW, I still see missions, but very rarely anything on the scale the Dogz of War/USMC/Bops/DFA used to run in AH. In my experience, it's 3 or 4 NOE bombers with a single fighter escort, 6-10 P-51s loaded to the gills at 20K, or a dozen 110s/38s under 5k. Rooks ran one the other night with God-only-knows-how-many fighters, but that was the first mission on that scale that I've seen since I've been back.

I feel this debate is also my fault. Plz allow me to apologize once again.

Checkers the only bad thing I would see from having a dedicated FT would be the MA would be like a bunch of UPS trucks running around delivering cargo to different bases, largely unopposed. But...what would be cool...you would have a meeting place for the fighter guys...to plan..scheme...mass fighter sweeps..invading the MA like a plague (cue Metallica's "Creeping Death") from time to time, keeping the buffers honest

I dont know why everyone just doesnt sit down for a minute and decide who likes to do what. Split up the MA...shake it up, find out who only likes to intercept, who only likes to bomb, who likes to escort. Decide what country does what, and put them all in one side,Bish Bombers,Knights Escort,Rook Intercept team. To heck with the captures.
