[Furball]

i love fighter town.

i grew tired of the hoard hiding over their base at 15k and all simultaneously diving at the first thing they see, so i have taken up flying the LA7, drag one or two away, kill them, rinse/repeat.

alternatively if someone else beats me there, i just shoot down the conga line all frothing at the mouth trying to get a kill.

while I appreciate you taking the time to flame me nomak , i spoke the truth. ftr twn is worthless most of the time. The whole point is that the player base is advancing way faster than the game..and killing it. If you still enjoy ftr town have at it..Im sincerely happy for you. I think its worthless.

jaxxo......you been flyin sober again?.....The doctor told you not to do that anymore! It makes you realize you suck in a fighter!

[jaxxo]

Jaxxo, the few times I've looked in on FT I had a real tough time seeing how it was any different than anywhere else, save for the compressed geography. To whit:

• Toolshedders A-plenty: Got 'em
• Heavy bomber formations killing FH: Got 'em
• Heavy bomber formations dive bombing fields: Got 'em
• LA's and Tiffy's ignoring actual "fighting" so they can strafe the fields: Got 'em
• Cherry-pickers in 190's and Tiffy's: Got 'em
• HO-Jobs in Hurri's and 190's and 110's and N1K1's: Got 'em
• Score-potatos in C2's, etc. using teammates as bait: Got 'em

I know what you guys *want* FT to be, but it has been a long, long, long while since it resembled that.

Now, "if I were HT" (hehe), I'd change FT as follows:

• disable all bombers and ord
• disable every GV except the M16
• disable troops
• disable any plane made after 1942

With a set up like that, only people who want to furball would go there.

[jaxxo]

yeah your right Dok its not different than any other place on the map..its a great idea, but also a great lesson in human nature aka "path of least resistance" heck the friendlys swooping in to "save" me is twice as annoying as the enemy horde..i have no fear of dying believe that lol..but I would like to make it more than one turn without it being over one way or the other.

There used to be an "early war aircraft only" area on one of the maps; center island consisted of about 12 Vbases and 3 Airfields. It was great; except for the occasional jet looking to pad his score, the fights were normally wildly entertaining. Not sure why, but HTC killed it.

Yeah ... "Furball Island" ... not sure why it was changed either. Probably because people whined that they couldn't up their Uber rides there and they paid $15/mo to fly what they want where they want blah-de-blah-de-blah.

Or maybe because FI couldn't defend itself from maraudering base-takers. Who knows?

Of course, one could make a similar argument that people who want to fly Zekes v. P40B's can't because the MA only favors the late war rides, and how come their $15/mo ain't worth as much as those of a La-la HO-dweeb and yadda, yadda, yadda.

FT is unique, though, in that it is strongly isolated by terrain. So something could be done that wouldn't affect much of anything else on that map.

I'd really be curious to see what happened if the changes I suggested were implemented. Just as an experiment in human nature.


And as for "helpers," yeah ... I've had more killshooter damage in the last month from people cutting right in front of me than I can ever remember. Likewise the number of "helpers" who don't tell me there's something on my six that they're trying to cherry-pick.

One caveat IF they are porking troops and ords... More like preventative maintenance.

A lot of us are ADHD kids (or not kids lol) and just like the fact that it IS so smushed together.  When I want to fly, I can roll and be in a fight in 90 seconds.... I like that.  

On the downside, I have noticed that a LOT of folks kinda just hang out around their bases, or the in massive clump of people in  the lake.  Only thing I don't like about the lake is the mobile AA bases upped by people who can't/won't fly.

ftr town has degraded into a massive cherry festival where success is equal to how many wingmen you have..if you manage a coordinated attack with squaddys/wingys you will immediately be joined by every friendly in the area swooping in to kill steal instead of engaging cons entering the fight..every furball ive seen has degraded into a massive slaughter within 3 minutes by one side or the other.

Bravo player base we have ruined another great addition to a map

reminds me of every engagement i had with a bk on ft b4 i left.. 2 mins after i engaged one a flock of them would be trying to steal kill me

Sorry ... I ain't buying that argument ... (a) it's too easy a rationalization for something that is disdained everywhere else on the map and (b) the people doing it in FT for the most part really, really, really suck.
