my "airforce" was always on the lower number country for the last 2-3 years and grew probably because of the fact there was such an imbalance. in fact there were very few "BoP Bashing" threads before your change and I dared to question the change. My "Air force" never jumped to the easier countries and were always in the midst of the worst parts of any map.
FALCONWING: Please do not confuse my post as bop bashing. I have never stated the Bops wanted to always be on the country side with numbers. Nore do I belive game play like the Bops "win the war" stratagy is a bad thing. Nor do I belive coradinating tatics as a bad thing.
This is exatly the same as I view the laz type game play, I do not belive wanting to just find the closest fight is a bad thing either.
I allso do not belive country or squad loaylty is a bad thing.
All have there place In AH.
But problems arise when any of the above are taken to excess.
For instance lets look at what I view as Laz's ideal arena taken to exess.
Air starts 5k off deck. No bombers,no scoring , artifical box aound the play field, that if you run you are blown up. All planes turning style planes, with no planes faster than others.
This would create one fast paced, continues quick action furball. But what are the side effects.
1. New players would burn out fairly quickly.
2. Will to live dimisish greatly.
3. You never get that successfull feeling of beating the odds, and living to tell the tail.
4. You have very little time to socialize with other players.
So while some furballers would say, hey thats all good stuff, I belive AH would be dead long ago if thats all it was.
It is my belief that creating an "Air force" like the Bop's is a also form of exess.
So I don't view your post as "suspicion".
I do view it as you put
1. Loyalty to "Air Force".
2. Loyalty to "Country"
3. Creating a Sudo realy Air Force, with simalar rules.
4. Creating one of the larger Air Forces in AH.
Above the need for ah's over all game play.
And your post while not stating the above resones I see it as an attempt to try put your rules above AH's game play. I also do not think that you are trying to do this dilibertaly (I.E. I do not believe you think My way or AH be damed)
I view you more like,
These would be your thoughts.
"I see problems like Imbalance , lower arena limits,less friendly arenas then of old. But I think that we can change other things to still let me implemnt my "Air force" pryorities.
What I believe you do not see , is simply you have taken it to exess.
