I'm still surprised by it.  

But then again I've only been here a year.

I love 2 airfields, a port and 2 CVs (all in 2 sectors) being swamped at once with no aircover while someone tries to get pork missions rolling. :confused:

Yeah, that is hard to believe.

Gotta wonder where that extra hordes came from... should only be one per country.

In the future, when we achieve Toolshed Nirvana, there will only be three hordes with no stray players. The hordes will (since HTC's server is in the Northern Hemisphere) rotate clockwise around a map and on the radar it will appear as if  the three circling comets are each chasing the tail of the comet in front of it.

There will be no actual fighting between real people of course. Just the rotational destruction of toolsheds with follow-on capture, followed by the trailing horde's destruction of the same toolsheds with follow-on capture...ad infinitum.

You forgot the vaguely uneasy counter-rotating inner cycle from our Aussie players...

Can't believe it...gameplay getting worse.  Could be because of the number of new players.  I guess security in numbers the reason.  My squad mates and I usually try to cap the fields the hordes are coming from to at least slow down the horde machine somewhat. Or......we fly on the perimeter to pick them off.   Usually ends up being a game of dodgeball instead of flight acm.

It is a map i believe. Small map with very few fields near frontline far away from each other just cannt produce anything but few huge hordes. Especially with ~450 ppl online.

Which last night was land on a field with GVs all over it. I am still wondering why you were trying that.

Does one of your voices sound like Hitler? When I hear that voice I ususaly try to persuade the "Toby the cell block homie"  voice to go pimp him out.
Other than that I ususaly only listen to the voice that keeps saying "Pay no attention to the other voices. They are all a bunch of whining pansies. Have fun or log off and do something else."

the farther apart the fields are the worse the gameplay.

MA gameplay continues to suck and its suckage continues to rise. Small maps only magnify the suckage. All the small maps should be retired and replaced with new larger maps. Granted, some of the larger maps also promote suckage, but no where near what the small maps generate.

Get rid of all small maps, add a FT to all remaining maps and/or move all bases to minimum distance apart.  Do nothing and watch the game continue to languish.
