Oh my yet another great idea, why didn't I ever think of creating an anonymous game ID.

Twitchy:

Has it ever possibly crossed your mind that I might actually be good at what I do.
That possibly I take It very seriously , that I try get ideas in any way shape or form I can think of.
That I play the game under different accounts when I want to get a feel for whats really going on. That I possible have long term friends who I have played with ,for over 17 years in online sims, that I talk to and get their feel
and their opinion?

That some ideas I have been actually thinking about for years before I try implement them? Or that I use other people in this office as sounding boards about what they think of ideas.

Or have you ever considered that asking me this type question is almost completely out of bounds in this type thread. Because all a question like this is, is an attempt by you to now switch from the topic at hand, to a way to not talk about the issue, but rather criticize me.

You should really try take a rational, logical argument / debate about the topic , instead of putting up straw man arguments like this.

Yeah I'm just out to get you Hitech.

Straw man arguements? I asked you a simple question HT.
Paranoia aside, here's a rational logical arguement for you, some of us, actually alot of us, don't like furballing.
Is that simple enough?

While I really don't like to be involved in base taking, this is exactly the sort of thing that those who DO enjoy it ought to be coming up with. The game has changed, no doubt about it, because it's become more difficult to accomplish the same goal. The tools are there, as Bustr's people and Stang's people have showed. You just have to use them in new and clever (and probably more historically-accurate) ways. I'd think most would actually welcome the challenge.

Was it the addition of god knows how many troops at a base? What was it that stuck it to the furballers to the point where they felt they had to be vinidcated? You're out of your mind, this game has been bent and shaped to please you guys to the point where you can't even fly over an enemy field anymore without star wars looking ack.

I am about as far from a furballer as you can get. The added ack was probably the best thing done in the game. If you saw a base flash before you were lucky to get an Osti out of the hanger before the ack, troops, and VH were down then the 20 err....combat pilots would just circle and vulch half the time not even hitting the town.

Heck, I could take a cannon bird and and usually kill the ack and troops by my self and my gunnery sucks. ENY only effects you when You have numbers way out of whack.

Now, I get a chance to defend against such attacks and I LIKE IT. The statement was made before about defend your base, now I can at least have time to and maybe get some countrymen to assist. If my Osti gets toasted and the VH is dead I now have a chance that a mannable ack is still up. I just wish there was more, or harder VHs.

The new test I'm not too thrilled about. One main reason is when I have been on there has been no ground game that I saw. Bases that could be spawned to were not captureable.

It boils down to taking a base isn't the cakewalk it used to be.

Nice way to once again make another straw man by calling me Paranoid. Of course that way you can just totally dismiss my last post in your mind, why else would you say such a thing.

And the funny thing,

This is not even an argument, just a statement. And not only that it is a statement you have been repeating in almost every one of your post.

I like fighting, HiTech wants FIGHTING. YOU, want capturing of undefended fields. Those days are GONE. Get over it. The sooner you DO, the easier it will be.

And STOP CONFUSING "Furballing" with FIGHTING.

Yeah, and actually I've put about $1000 bucks in your pocket because you're good at what you do.

Overlag: Your right it did strike a nerve, my funny bone.

The point of my post was like saying well Dhuuuuuuuuuuuuu type response. Of course I make mistakes, the thing is , you do not seem to recognize, that this last test is in response to other mistakes I have made.

Mistakes are the engineers way of creating thing, basically design, test, evaluate, redesign, test evaluate.

But the thing is , Ive been doing that process for quite a while in reference to online flight Sims.
