its not about sides, its about overall numbers playing with 15:15:20 IS NOT FUN.

Yes.

Despite what anyone might say, there is plenty hate between folks. The thought of helping those you cant stand doesn't rest well.

HT will have to force change to even up the sides, or hope that noobs fill the ranks.

Overall numbers mean nothing. The relative skill level of each country is whats important. How many top 10 players are on each country? Top 100 players, top 1000? It would make no difference if Nights out numbered Rooks by 2:1 if 50% of the Nights just stepped off of the short bus.

Sure does. Many are incompetent, but can still shoot you down..... if they have 3 other guys with them. They're not THAT incompetent.

Anyway, I would like to see more pilots with balls. People not afraid of death, and not so attached to winning a field, as to becoming competent pilots. Timidity is to be pitied and despised. Learn to love your death. Learn from it. Become a flying beast, and mock any pansies who refuse to fight you 1on1 even when you give them the advantage.

Winning a war over and over is not rewarding, because you haven't won if you refuse to learn anything as a pilot.

Rank means squat ... there a numerous players out there in the 1000s, 2000s, and 3000s who would hand just about anybody who is ranked in the top 10 their arse in a dogfight.

The nubes are not the problem.  Is the vets that were vulching the bejeasus out of me last night in p40s, lol.  Then, it was the vets again that flew above everyone else in a furball picking me off once I got into it with a few of the low cons.  The funny part is, it was some of the people that come in here and talk about what a blast furbals are, lol.

OVERALL NUMBERS MEAN NOTHING? WHAT THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT?

a few days ago i flew for 2HOURS and only saw like 3 cons. why? because a country with 10 players on it, has to split these 10 players between "front lines" as well as some of them being afk etc.

people keep saying the fights have improved, and its stopping milkrunners, but im seeing the oposite. Right now theres very few fights and its mostly milkrunning going on because there is NO ONE AROUND to opose it.

This is garbage, many folks including me went rook to help balance the numbers out. further alot of squads like the AK's (who I flew with for around 2 yrs) rotated regularly.
