Author Topic: New Capture System for the Bish (Read 526 times)

I must say, the new capture system seems to of fostered more teamwork for the Bish than I have seen in a long time. There are a lot more squads working together as well as random missions being put together. The random horde also seems to have been somewhat supplanted with more coordinated missions. This, I think, being caused by the new system where a certain amount of bases from each country must be captured in order to win as opposed to just pounding away at one side. While some still cry horde for some reason, I see the Bish becoming a well oiled machine.

well bish might be working togeather to capture bases but they sure asa heck not working togeather to defend the buggers.

yesterday i was on in mid and saw a field flashing with a large dar bar,all red nothing green.So being the fool i am i jumped in a la5 and what was there about 5 or 6 sets of lancs and some b26s,totally flaterning the airfield and town.

I did what i could to knock a few of the planes down losing bits and pieces off my plane in the mean time and all the time calling for help from the bish.

After 10 minutes flying and fighting i was dead stick and didnt make the end of the runway but i had spotted a m3 waiting to hit the town.

Finaly help arrived in the form of rain,we upped il2s because thats all we could and killed a copuple of m3s and a few fighters before finally after more calls that a cv was off shore more bishops turned up for a last ditch defence.

Funny thing was all the time i was fighting i was talking to one of my oppisition on vox and was funny that they were moaning at him for talking to me.

great battle anyway just a pity bishops responce was so slow

I guess I should of qualified my first post by saying this is what was happening in LW Blue.

from what Ive seen, teamwork is tad easier when you have numbers...

The past couple resets the numbers have been pretty even, or at least two of the sides have been even. Rooks seem to suffer from people logging off when a reset is near, I've noticed it more than a few times recently. Like the other night each side had around 75 but Rooks suddenly dropped to near 50 right when the only thing Bish needed to win was a Rook base. And with the new system which keeps the sides at least within reason as far as population goes, can't really claim being overrun anymore.

i know i had morre fun working with an actual group, outside of the squad. i didn't get as many kills but it was more enjoyable.

I checked the numbers right before we captured the last base. Numbers were 58 Bish, 52 Rook and 47 Knight. Hardly overwhelming numbers.

dont know about that reset...just the ones im in there for. Last night in orange was nice and even...was pleasant surprise.

I have logged in quite a few nights this past week with b-120 k-120 r-80.
more than one occasion. I dont mind...plenty to shoot at...and not saying teamwork not taking place...hope it is.

Last night was fun...everyone was within 20 of each other.

The night of the first bish reset, my perk mult was .6
What kind of numbers does that equate to?

killnu · « **Reply #9 on:** December 17, 2006, 11:24:17 AM »

ive been getting perk point mulitpliers of over 2. typically its in the 1.5 - 1.7 range.

Thats the one thing the previous fix to this new system didn't allow for.

If a country was close to reset they probably couldn't jump arenas, so they logged off (kinda like pre all the changes).

Result was the country that had worked hard to get close to the reset was suddenly hit with long queues to take off.
It's the one thing I hated about it, it penalised teamwork and rewarded logging off.
At least thats gone now.

Is side balancing suposed to be in place right now? Blue has 97 bish, 60 rooks, 63 nits, Bish running over it--- How is this supposed to be different?

Old ENY system is back in place, i.e. you lose the later aircraft.

Dang. Id have preferred the newer one-Right now Bish up 108 to 80 to 50--their ENY only 18, bish 3.4--more than DOUBLE, and they get all the 109's, spit9, all jugs save the N--hardly restrictive
