i'm a very new player on this forum, but i can't see the furballer point at all.
getting in a big dogfight is fun. but, i can't see how you can play this game for years when your only point is to fight for the sake of fighting.
the game i thought this was, or hope it is, is one where there is some sort of overall goal...like capturing bases and winning the map. even with a short time in the game i'd like to find a group to organize with to capture objectives.
this argument doesn't make alot of sense to me. why don't the furballers organize a defense to the toolshedders? i mean, in ww2, fighter pilots didn't go out to furball just for the sake of furballing, did they? they flew cap, sweeps, or escorts, right?
my favorite times in the game are when i feel like i'm defending a base against a concerted attack plan, where bombers are coming in wave after wave, and there's a sense of urgency to perform well. shooting down other planes just to rack up kills...well, i guess i need more meat to my games than that.
with all of the other areas you can play in in ah, it would seem like the ma is the wrong place for people that just want to furball. just my opinion- and i'm new, so it's worth what it's worth.
