The biggest problem with toolshedding base takers and furballers coexisting is that of when a good furball uprises some toolshedding buff dork walks in at 20k unopposed and bomb the FHs.  Well there goes the furball.  Some say you should have cover over the field to protect the buffs but how many furballers have the time or the patience to climb up to 20k+ just to intercept buffs that may not come for another 15 min and shoot them down.  Furballers want to be in the furballs getting down and dirty not waiting up at high alts for buffs to protect FHs.

Thats probably the biggest problem.  Toolshedders say oh but help your countrymen and the war effort.  They knock down FHs so you have everyone circling over and over the base just awaiting and what happens the vh ups and we get to play dancing tracers, then someone knocks down vh and the gvs eventually die and we wait another 1/2 hour just for a goon.  When I see FHs fresh down I leave.  When goon arrives usually FHs up and some guy in a la7 gets through and knocks down goon.  Everyone gets it down to a boring race to the vulch and no one ups to another goon arrives.  Another la7 gets through and kills goon.  BORING

I refuse to hit the town unless I know there is a goon less than 2 minutes out so Im not wasting my ammo for nothing.

There were some people that had the nerve to actually say after I said rtb boredom "Why the hell you leaving you should be helping the war effort and cap this base and kill the town" and other say," Protect my buffs so I can kill FHs" and "Kill the FHs, who cares about furballers let them whine."  I refuse to help escort buffs in any shape or form when their main target is FHs, if its vh or town I dont care as much.  If they say help me so I can kill FHs, I watch them burn and their wings fall off.  I have even resorted to flying under some buff bombsights just so they cant see to hit a target.  I refuse to take any orders from a toolshedding base taker.  When you ruin my furball I dont give help to you after you ruin my fun.  

Im paying $15 for a furball not to fly circles over a field and practice dancing on tracers, 1 person is all it takes to kill FHs and ruin my worth of paying for the game.  They say furballers have the most power and can get whatever they want but all it takes is 1 toolshedder to kill a massive furballer.  Toolshedders always go after where the good furballs are, why dont they go attack some undefended base and take that.  

A seperate arena wouldnt work as some dont want to admit it but there are in face more furballers than toolshedding basetakers so 1 arena would be empty and another crowded.  Then we would see whines on the BBS that there arent enough people in an arena.

Only real solution I can see is either harden FHs or add more FHs so takes more than just 1 flight of buffs to kill FHs or do what has been mentioned above that FHs wont be totally down just higher ENY planes have to be used.

 I'll have to remember that one. That's probably the kind of stuff that foments these continuing arguements, Jesus H. Christ there are some infantile people who play AHII.

 So your money is somehow more important than theirs?:huh

 If you don't want to help them, man that's all up to you & none of anyones business. But buffs bombing the FH's in pursuit of a base capture or to cut down the numbers of enemy fighters that are swarming friendly bases isn't exactly the same as what you're talking about doing.

  I prefer to "furball" or GV in a massive tank vs. tank battle without being bombed & I'm all for TT & FT on all maps. I don't think they should make a seperate arena for anything, the MA can accomodate everyones wants. I live with being bombed & I live with high alt. buffs dropping hangars where I was having a good time. I just can't see deliberately screwing up someone else like that, I know a lot of you guys see it as the same thing but it's not.
 
 One is coincidental & one is plain out flat being a salamander. If someone ups a set of buffs ONLY to kill a furball & nothing else; I'd be right there with you saying that's seriously infantile; but I have heard the "furball kings" say the hell with defending if it interferes with what THEY want regardless of the intent. It seems as though a lot of you "vets" from earlier sims feel you own AH & should be allowed to dictate to everyone else because your somehow better or more important than the other people who play. That's two faced. If there was a thumbs down I'd sure give it.

This true, it happen in AW. They made two seperate arena's... but it was the "fightertown arena" that was near empty most of the time.  It turned out that Furballers like to post on the BBS a lot, but there wasn't as many of them as all the BS on the forums made it look.

But it did do one good thing... it ended the food fights in the forums over furballing & toolshedding. If that would happen here I would be all for it. I for one am alittle sick of reading about the furballer vs. toolshedders thing.

Crying about furballers or toolsheders won't change anything. Hitech made it like it is. His bat, his ball, his feild, his rules. Don't like it? Play somewhere else.

Myself, I let the furballers do their thing in peace. A large furball really kills my frame rate. Makes the game unplayable.

Notice, if you will, which group is crying for a separate arena for the furballers.

Could somebody please explain why having a FT that is encircled with 40K mountains, that has no ordnance or troops and is secluded in the corner of a map, is any different than having your own arena? :confused:

Eh, just would be nice if everyone who has an opinion could get it outta them in the first of these threads each month instead of starting a new one a few days later just so everyone has to start all over.

We just need some more variety...  Work up another MOAT would ya? :D
