Yes he is one of Llv32 pilots.

We have quite strong community and 5 active squads. In scenarios and other events we try to concentrate our forces.

Espetially after the last change to LW it's hard to get togeather with just the 20 some odd guys in my particular wing, or sub squad I guess would be a more correct term.  Not that I want to be in LW.

First time I've seen a broad assumption taken so personally it required plausible deniability. (Actually ... not really ... but it reveals more than the author might wan it to).

p.s. Hard to get together? Is this a way of saying, organizationally challenged?

dunder... that is playing your game not ours.   We don't think the fields are important except as a place to take off from and to have good fight from.

Your idea "defend them" is lousy gameplay because defense consists of flying cap at alt and never getting to fight... this is fine for toolshedder mentalities but torture for guys who actually like a good fight..

and.... fighting those who like field capture these days isn't like in the old days with squads like the AK's... it is fighting the borg... human waves of talentless suicide jocks who assign 5 planes for every target and 3 of em auger.   they aren't even much fun to kill.

to make it simple for you... the mega squads have made defense no fun... Furballers are not about doing unfun things with their game time.

your idea of fun is attacking in a large group and overwhelming.   As an antidote for you.... all you can come up with is that we play the game just like you and organize into another horde to defend.   The response will be that you will simply take out the radar and sneak.   The reality is that the whordes don't like fights... they aren't any good at it and they don't like it and they will do everything in their power and game any feature of the game to avoid fights.

Playing against such people is not fun.   Having them in the game only makes for bad gameplay for furballers.   When they show up... they either kill the ability to fly and fight or... you can play their game and kill em but in a very boring way... they are simply not worth defending against.   the best you can hope for is a good furball for a while before the griefers realize that someone is having fun.

Lazs there you go AGAIN ASSUMING that we are all talentless suicide jocks when this is not the case......  I for one attempt to bring every plane back in some flyable form, so I would say I am about as far from a suicide jock as you can get and I know for a fact that Thndr and most of our squad are of a similar mind set..   Heck Lazs I won't even ditch my plane when Falc posts a mission...
Part of the fun for me is to bring my virtual self back home.

I also can't rember one time when I ever herd an order given to suicide into any strat. Or for that matter any squad member saying "I'm gonna kamikaze the troops at base so and so...    
The only time I can think of where we actually suicide anything is every great once in a while we have a fun Japanese kamikaze run on a CV some where. But these are quite rare now that we have many people that are good lvl bombers.

 I have from time to time dove into extreamly bad situations with my trusty KI-61 VS 6 or more NME fighters and mix it up knowing I would probably die but I can always hope to kill them all and get out right?  

  I have no delusions about being the best Fighter jock in AH but I can hold my own and most of the guys in the squad can and some of them excell at your fighter game.  We some times love a good old furball but we want more from this game than just twisting in circles on the deck.

  Also looking at last nights squad night People shouldn't really have much of a problem with our MEGA SQUAD so much because we had around 35 people on for most of the night, only 3 more than what is now concidered a "legal" squad and yet there you were in MW whining about some MEGA SQUADs squad night LOL.. And yes the #'s were imbalanced in MW with Bish having 50 or 60, Rooks and Nits both had around 30 but even if we had taken our   30 some odd guys and changed sides the imbalance would have been the same. Besides after about an hour the Nits had this reversed and we had 30 somthing players and they had the 60 something. I'm sorry if we like to work togeather we are evil I know for cooperating with each other.   Also even though it was our squad night both rooks and Nits held us off very well to the NME  We took some and lost some and took them back and had good fights doing it.

  Any way I would just say befor you start throwing out acusations you should really get to know the people you are trying to lable.

I've got a great vid last night fighting against BOP ... Perigrine (sp?) wing.

They've got a bunch of suicide lemmings. Not all the wings do, but this one definately does. LAs were trying to vulch the CV, 110s were doing the non-stop suicide dweeb thing.

Just takes a few bad apples...

It was a sad contrast to a beautiful 4 formation ju88 attack earlier in the day (wish I knew who made that one.. think it was in EWA), and the 20 minutes I spent getting hosed by Ball & Stang while winged up with FX1.

[Flayed1]

Where was this?  I was down south sinking a Nit CV with 17's....
  Usually if BOP's need a CV sunk they will request someone from the MERLINS wing to come over to flatten it as we have the majority of the bomber pilots. The only time I've seen our squad do anything like your describing is if they are desperate to kill that CV and no ord/bomber guys around to transport said ord

Still dancing around and justifying the idea that you are one squad though:)    

Figure as I said in another post that like an average 32 person squad you had about a dozen from each of your three squads flying.  The three squads come into the arena, see the numbers and decide we'll split our three among the three countries so we don't blow the numbers off.  We'll pick a spot to meet and have at it.  We can BS and have fun on 200 with the other two squads while laughing and joking on vox with our own squaddies.  It might be fun to see how we match up, and we can only get better by fighting against each other for a bit.  Since we're friends, it's nothing personal since it's just a game...etc.

Crowd sees this on 200, notices it on the rosters and is thinking, isn't that  cool that the BoPs are doing what they can to make this more fun for everybody.  I'd like to wing with those guys or fight against them.  I might learn something....etc.

Just a thought

[Quah!]

That would constitute taking a defended base.

In the old MA, most times troops were never brought and the field was usually never captured, but none the less FHrs were dropped.  This was definately the norm and is the norm most nights I have flown since the change.

You can take them out of the Old MA, but you cant take the old MA out of them.

Desperate seems to be a matter of opinion. 17 vs 2 (ooh sometimes 4!) didn't seem like a last second attempt to salvage a defense by y'all. 8pm CST, dunno what base it was. Even your leader makes an appearance to set the example of sportsmanship and gameplay... as a lemming 110

Vid is uploading to my ftp, I'll pm you a link when I get back to my office.


edit: The pretty looking CV torp attack came from Wombat & friends. Granted, it was against a virtually undefended target (just my zeke and maybe an ack dweeb)... but at least it looked the part when they came rolling through in formation and dropped a nice torp spread.

Lazs resorting to name calling again??---how un-lazlike.   if you elitist furballing dweebs would expend as much hot air lobbying hi-tech for a fighter town only arena as you did in this forum , we all might get our wish ----making each other disapear------as usual laz and crews' insightful and one sided arguments and name calling (they will reach puberty some day)  has provided us all with literally hours and hours of comedic entertainment.  go blow your horns at ht ---we get the picture already!!!--lobby for your little 100 cap fighter only map and stfu !!!!
