Im Declaring War On Lca

[thndregg]

It seems the LCA and the BOPs will have a lot of fun against each other.

HAAAAAARRR!!!

[stegor]

so forcing folks to play a certain way is what you are after?

Don't capsize the situation.
If some players wants to organize to play AH as a war, landgrabbin and capturing fields are they in their right??

If you want to furball, ignoring all the rest is nonetheless your right.

If you want to furball pretending that others don't play as they like cause you have to find everlasting fuel and ammo,  you don't like ack cause they disturb your furballing, and so ont , this is forcing folks.

If you don't like players organizing in groups to do what this game tries to recreate, a simulated war, either go flying your furball without giving an eye at what happens on land or organize another group to counteract them
This is a choice, in either way, no forcing anyone

This is a choice, in either way, no forcing anyone

when somebody comes to "Fighter Town"/"Tank Town" and takes down FH/VH, that is exactly what they are doing.  
You can in fact win the map without ever touching those 3 bases.  its a fact.  the war winning types CAN WIN THE WAR WITHOUT TOUCHING THOSE 3 BASES....ITS A FACT!!!!!  so when they do take any of those 3 bases, they are inentionally ruining the fun, the way somebody else wants to play.

now, ive seen the, "last base to win reset" thing, sure.  

now, is there any "war winners"  that can say for a fact, that they HAVE TO take one of those 3 bases to win?  It is a must?  Dont think so.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything.... if you don't want to fly with or against the horde, move to another part of the map. Dar bars are great ain't they

That's the point.  There is a certain area on the map for us to move to that has been designated Fighter Town.  The issue hasn't been furballers rebuilding FHs to tick off the tool shedders.  It's been the tool shedders deciding that wrecking fighter town is the way to go

Been palying Aces High 2 for a while now after leaving warbirds due to dwindling numbers and one thing i notice is that furballers think they are almighty,supremely skilled omni-intelligent super heros or something Sure furballing takes skill but so does droping a perfectly placed bomb or getting a direct hit on a tiger with a rocket.  I love flying with the LCA, it actually feels like being part of a ww2 mission as opposed to upping a fighter and heading into a fight at 5k (which i see all the time and is really stupid).  If you don't like hoardes or people landgrabbing then go to the DA (Don't understand y they don't make the DA into a fighter town and leave the MA to those who want to play the game they way it's designed)  Nothing makes me laugh more then when someone complaines that the fighter hangers are down and they can't vulch newbies who are dumb enough to up at a capped field

Any pinhead can drop a bomb..so get over yourself.

I don't recall anyone saying that furballers were super heros.  I'd also not be foolish enough to suggest a horde mission represents any sort of WW2 mission of any kind.  It's a game after all, not WW2.  And you clearly have little clue on what the ACM guys enjoy as vulching isn't one of those things.  That's for the guys who want to see their name in lights and get their 'attaboys' for landing 20 'kills'.  That is anything but furballing.  To me that's how the horde warriors operate in hopes of feeling like a 'fighter pilot'.

So you are advocating a furball arena to seperate the 'furballers' from the land grabbers?  I kinda doubt HTC is going to do that.  I must admit at this point the idea is more appealing however as 'race to the reset' really seems to have taken hold of the MA.

Of course I believe the idea of Fighter Town was to allow the ACM guys to coexist in the MA with the tool shed warriors.  But again the Tool shed warriors seem intent on wrecking that too.

Funny ... that is exactly what the horde does ... and your promoting it ... sounds like tons of fun ... 20+ planes circling the airfield waiting and hoping to be able to dive down on someone who thinks they may have a chance to get up.

Gobs of skill are required to do that ...

I'd rather stick sharp pencils in my eye.

I like flying large missions (hoardes) because it gives you lots of people to fly with who share the same goal as you, the destruction and take-over of an enemy field.  I wasn't trying to say the acm guys lacked skill or anything like that, it just seems like many (not all) of them feel that if your not furballing you wasting everyones time, or ruining the arena for everyone one else.  Hoarding doesn't ruin the arena it just makes it fun for those of us who like to lay down a massive assult.   Sure there are some who will fly in hoarde for protection whatever but for the most part it's just people who like to do attack missions.  So I apologize to anyone who i may have offended with my statement was trying to stress that bombers and jabo's are always going to be part of the game and those missions are more fun with numbers.

When is the last time you heard a furballer yelling at everyone for not flying FT?  You will hear a furballer comment on buff that levels the FH's when everyone else is dogfighting, in particular at FT since that was intended for furballing.

You will however hear the GenErAlz howling mad every night at folks for not being in certain parts of the map to defend something, and you will hear them howling about winning the reset every night.

As for flying with a group of people with the same purpose.  I fly with a squad that likes to fly 38s and likes to furball.  On any given night we'll have anywhere from 8-12 folks up at a time and we certainly enjoy flying together.  What's fun for us is running into a like number of bad guy fighters and having at it.  "Fighter Sweeps" are most definately a group operation.  The most frustrating part of it is when you fly that sweep to the large dar bar and over the radio comes the call "FH's down!"  as it quickly becomes a wasted trip.  Not because the intent is to vulch a field, but because the hope is you'll find fighters in the air and be able to see how well you can wing with someone, and if you are any good in the air.  Testing yourself against another live person in a plane is the challenge, not destroying a building that can't fight back.

But that's how I enjoy the game.  You enjoy it your way, but don't wreck the little area where I can find that fight if I want to as FT in particular doesn't affect the outcome of your 'war'.

I agree with everything he said

[Alky]

The buff drivers should not be porking FH's at a field they have no intention of taking.  If they're part of a horde, even a small horde that wants to grab a field, that's different, but these clowns that go porking FH's where people are just furballing is rude.  FT and TT should be un-takeable.  
Organized mayhem such as LCA is fine, nothing stopping the other countries doing the same.  If you don't want to be part of the great  land grab, move to another part of the map, the worst that can happen is we get faster map rotation.  The few perks you get for winning the war can't be that important. There's lots of room for everyone to have their own style of fun without ruining someone else's!

You want to stop lca ?
go out and kill em

every one cry for horde but no one try to stop it, you know why ?
because more of the pilots afraid to die and loose points

The biggest fun in this game is what i call (and is) Battle Fever.

20 vs 20, 30 vs 30 in furballs counting (or trying) 2-5 or 7 positions of the enmy fighters trying to kill more and staying alive
but also in field attacks swiming between
thousand tracers from field acks ( in the sunset) and 10-20 flacks, with
7-10 cons on your 6 @ 800-1000 yards. And surviving.

To stop a attacking horde you need a furballers horde.

The problem is the attackers are used in team work, furballers are thinking only their self. They dont feel well in team work.
(maybe some squads can do the job, but usually you need more than one squad).

You dont like hordes ? dont go to the next easy field.
Go up and fight the horde.  If you can
