The MAIN reason for me getting into online flightsims in the first place was for that very reason.
Boxed games are boxed games. Taking undefended bases and avoiding confrontation is no better than a boxed game.
It makes no sense in my view to not meet confrontation head on in an online sim. If it did make sense I wouldn't have bothered logging on.
Amazing the reasoning that goes into it. Crap, play a boxed sim.
..or do what slappy and his old squad did back in the day, ANNOUNCE what field your headed too. Jeez, that's when toolshedders weren't toolshedders. Slappys squad, the AK's, jeez those were some great fights.
On a side note, one time back in the pizza map days I tagged along with some horders taking fields. Did it for an hour, took six or seven fields...
The chief horder givin orders in "Mission" talk on who was to take out what..over and over as the next field appeared. Everyone doing their "Mission" talk impression of reeeel comunications. Twenty five versus two or three defenders..
I'm sorry, I did an hour. I can't fathom someone enjoying that on a day to day basis..
