Cool, still haven't missed anything.

How long until TAS comes out? Will it be better than CT?

Docc targets that are harder to kill would help to. It would force cooperative play.

Couldn't agree more.
My suggestion would be to harden barracks and/or
put a dozen or more of them all over the field.
Or, have them rebuild in 15 mins.

Would put an end to one La-7 singlehandedly stopping
an advance and maintain base capture as one of the
key features of the game.

The concept IS very simple. Leave the FT areas for those who don't want to land grab. I wouldn't force someone to fly ACM flights if they don't enjoy it.

HMMMMM!!!!!! wouldn't that be you demanding they play your way? Thought so.

JB42, try to see what Guppy was trying to say, instead of picking on his wording.

Thanks

Nothing more satisfying than taking out FH's at fighter town and listening to the whines, heck the LCA should take them out on a conga line

Well most of the targets that I see the LCA go after are where the furballs are.  If your going take a base leave the furballers out of it.  One of the reasons I hate this group is there will be a big nice furball going along and all of a sudden the LCA come in and pork the base.  No I do not enjoy this style of AH.  Im not going play the win the war game and find it pointless as I can easily earn those 25 perks in 1 flight.  

Way Dok is saying is how many rooks want to win resets and how good of a thing it is.  Resets dont appeal to everyone and if its a small % of the LCA can still ruin it for a majority.

What makes you think that nice furball is voluntary? A lot of base captures stall out because of one of two people in 262's hunting goons, or porking troops 53 levels deep. In which case you, as the defender may be having a fine old time but the attackers are getting ticked off. In which case shutting down FH gives a few minutes of the attacking base not being lawdarted so maybe the front can advance.

Where did I say what a good thing winning resets is? I said having choices is a good thing. I said that winning resets caused a lot of people to switch to Rooks.

What makes you think the satisfaction of winning a reset is just the perks?

I like the idea of groups doing big organized missions, its kinda like a mini-scenario within the MA, wtg keep it up,,,,,but this is nothing new

Its fun being on either side of the encounter, whether being a bomber pilot in a HUGE formation,,,,escorting the Bombers or attacking them, and provides a bit of historical feel to the MA sometimes

Also,,,,as a newbie, its a great way to build comaraderie with new friends and feel like your contributing and a part of the team, instead of goin out on your own every sortie

Most of the guys on this BB will jump your sht for it though, as they like to preach how you should play, as demonstrated by the 'toolshed" babble we often see anytime someone posts a topic like this

They seem to think there are Furballers or Toosheders i guess,
even though the majority likely enjoys, and has FUN doin a bit of everything

Common Social Behavior seems to want to create cliques and division in every little way we can, even though we share the same hobby

and Zazen,,,have ya ever even turned that Typhy, got in a scissors fight or
even cut the throttle ?

BTW nice site Loose Cannons.  I checked out your missions and was happy to see few were base capture mission types. I like base attack, and simple large bomb runs.  Capture to me isnt fun unless Im in the mood.

Filth is "in the mood" usually when there is a small greased pig in the room.

When you get vulched, you get pissed off at the guy that vulched you.
When you vulch it's fun.
When you get into a HO situation and die, you get pissed off at the guy that HO'd you.
When you see his plane explode its fun.
When a squadron "horde"  comes in and and takes your field, you get pissed.
When your in the squadron "horde" and take a field, its fun.
When your caught low and slow, and get picked, you get pissed off at the guy that picked you.
When you catch someone low and slow, and get the kill, its fun.
I don't think anyone that plays this game likes to lose.

Now if all you want to do is furball, my suggestion is to find the big red dar, post a fighter sweep mission from 1 sector back, get up to 10k and attack the squadron "horde".
Even NOE missions aren't all that hard to bust up, if there is organization on the side being attacked.

Personally, i like both furballs and land grabbing. Furballs, for there constant action, and occasional 1v1's that happen. Land grabbing for being in an organized attack formation with purpose.

"don't demand I play it that way if it doesn't give me the same enjoyment."


Amen!   But your pearls are wasted on the gerbilists Dan.

That's the point. You are telling me that I have to fly AH your way. The beauty of FT or TT is that it allows folks who don't want to play land grab to do something different.

I could care less if the LCA or anyone else resets the map every hour if that's what gives them a thrill. More power to them. But don't demand I play it that way if it doesn't give me the same enjoyment.

HMMMMM!!!!!! wouldn't that be you demanding they play your way? Thought so.

OK this is a pretty retarded statement, even for JB42 and that is a feat!  How is a FT forcing any tool shed heros to play a certain way?  And what's with the stick up your but 42?  Are you telling me the BJs are turning into shed heros?

Explain to me how my flying in FT away from the land grab is making you have to fly FT?

Stupid question Dan ... he can't explain it.
