How about 2 fairly even teams.... team 1 in P-51s and Team 2 in 109s (or predetermined planes of choice)each takes off at a set time and rises to a certain alt all in formation. Fly to a predetermined point where both sides shall first spot then attack eachother, this may mean loitering if the other team takes a round a bout track to the FIGHTER ARENA. Routes to that agreed on point can be reached by any means ( meaning you wont be sure what direction the other side may enter the FIGHTER ARENA on). Once a pilot is down.. he is down untill one side downs all planes on the opposing team. Downed pilots can join fighters still in the air, just not reup.

My original thread post was handing Laz a box of tissues, that is all.  Yes it was rude, but look who I was talking to.  Somehow it became 3 pages of BS.  Laz, we can agree to disagree (about what, I have no clue still, I love to furball!).   All I meant was quit whining because it's not gonna change.  You belong to the country that usually wins maps, so there should be no problem with you finding good fights all over, with the other countries trying to defend their bases.  This is a war sim, correct?  In war, you don't attack where the enemy is strongest.  In war, you never want a 1 on 1.  In, war you use all the assets given to you to overwhelm, close with, and kill the enemy deader than hell.  In war you take ground.  If anyone wants 1 on 1 ,go to the DA, AvA, or the rooms in H2H.  In the MA, you will rarely find it, and if you are looking for it, good luck, especially with the added player base we've seen.  If you want to furball, great! I'll be there 6 out of 7 nights a week.  Hell Laz, if you find a good Bish-Rook furball, PM me & tell me you want a piece.  I'll show.  It's all fun to me.

Horde mentality can only be tackled at the individual level. How's about hiring a Psychiatrist to help these adolecent teens deal with their insecurities :lol

My take on this is there is not a lot any of us (except HT) can do about it so I dont dwell on it. Most of the time when I see a big horde, I laugh to myself, hit ".fly" and wade into it.

I really dont think about the hordes or the people in them long enough to get upset about it. I would prefer that everyone furballed like the old days, but that time has past and its not comming back so there is no point in fretting over it. Its like anything else in life, if it is not something I can change, I dont sweat it.

and ranger...  my original point was that if you have places for people to furball they will so it must be a style that a lot of people like.

Festers map has a lot of close fields and it has a lot of furballs...  the FT map is allways popular... a fight with a close CV is allways populated.   I also pointed out that whining did indeed work... it worked to get Festers map made a little worse and it has worked in the past to make things better for the whorde and the kids.

You jumped in and, as you happen to be a prime example of the kind of guy who thinks there is too much furballing as it is and.....  that things are fine... well... I just had to point out your stats..

It isn't so much that you and dunderegg and jolly suck so bad... we all sucked at one time or another... I am mediocre at best now.   It is that you appear to revel in your suckiness... you seem to wear it like a badge.  Like, it's ok to suck because you are above the whole air combat thing and are doing the major picture capture the flag thing.

I guess you are going to grow up to be a soldier and think this is some kind of "strat" training or "tactics" training maybe.

Oh... and  you are not being completely honest about the planes you fly... you may fly the a6m a third of the time but most seems to be in planes like the D9 A8 and la7 and nik.    How can you lose so much in those planes?

Yes, yes it will.  When a few guys from your squad and the others in your shoes realize that taking undefended bases has gotten real boring, then read there is an alternative and switch to a game play style that isn't boring because they finally realized they are here to play a game that pits them pilot to pilot rather then thinking there is some war to be won.  LOLH

You belong to the country that usually wins maps, so there should be no problem with you finding good fights all over, with the other countries trying to defend their bases.


Actually the country winning the map usually has the worst fights due to all it takes is overwhelming number so win maps not skill or tactics.

This is a war sim, correct? In war, you don't attack where the enemy is strongest. In war, you never want a 1 on 1. In, war you use all the assets given to you to overwhelm, close with, and kill the enemy deader than hell. In war you take ground.

Gee in real life maybe.  In a GAME where the idea is to log on and fight each other, running from the enemy hardly seems like the way to play.  And that in a nutshell is the difference between the BKs and the BOPs I guess.  We would rather fight and you would rather take ground unopposed for some reason.

Flayed's post was great to see.  See how much fun they had actually fighting for the ground rather than taking undefended bases.  That is what this game is about and what you miss when you try to make it fit real life agendas.  

It takes skill to take defended bases and creates a lot of fun.  Id doesn't take any skill to take undefended ones and takes away fun because all those people you tie up not fighting, unbalances the numbers and creates unchecked potatods.

How inspirational. I'm sure I'm motivated to play your way now. You are a beacon of respect and positive leadership, and noobs will flock to your banner.

sometimes shame is the only way.... it is like slapping someone in the face who is in a panic mode or making them breath out of a paper bag.

win the war types need to be shamed while you are slapping em in the face while they are breathing in a paper bag... even then.....

Well Viper,

You couldn't be more wrong about Laz.  If you ask anyone who has run into him, you will find he is always 3k or lower no matter what and in an FM2.  Most of the time all we do is up from capped fields, hence us running INTO you guys.  :aok   And where is he going to run in an FM2 LOLH.  That is the difference between the two of you I guess.  Laz will do a little homework and talk to that instead of just pull crap out of his arse and throw it.  Do some home work next time and your foot will stay on the ground and out of your mouth.  :aok

Just Saying since we are all frinds :D

LOL!  talk about getting it wrong.  I happened to be flying in the same area as Laz last night.  He was feeling guilty cause he was in an F6F down low.  He'd gotten out of his FM2 because people were avoiding it.

As one who tends to be down low in my uber 38G I understand where Laz is coming from on this one :)

We all know that Lazs talks a really mean game, but I'm glad someone has finally called him out on the fact that he is a score-obsessed cherry picking gangbanger.  Now if only he could admit that fact to himself, he'd be well on his way to recovery.
