this isn't just the Bish, i was defended a base last night and the Rooks did the same. infact they let them go with m3's also, i was killing troops for 15 mins.

atleast the Rook who did it only droped them at 1k, i didn't have to climb high.

Seen same thing at base 1 guy dropps troops 2 guys deack and cap. to me its gaming game kinda of like some old gv bugs that got exploited. this tactic lets them use 110's to straf down ack on cvs. without ack shooting planes. its only use for 1 reason New ack kills so some decided to use troops to help them cause game to hard for THEM. Don't get me wrong i had fun killing 27 bishops while car warmed up. But pm's bragging on how they sunk cv were funny. because couldn't sink cv without gameing the game.

LMFAO!!!!! I had noticed this last week, but never thought anything of it. Some that play this game must have no life and alot of free time to find some of this crap out.

If i remember right it was Ripsnort.

That'd be Rip. Flight of the Valkyries. Every holiday VMF232 would all up goons and try to swarm a base. More often than not we all died, but it was fun.

When people want to decoy ack it's troops they drop? Someone else told me it was supplies.

Anyway, OMFG!!!!!! gaming a game!!!!! I think once you get past the endless lives thing, pretty much everything is on.

I've run into SHawk once. High 190D diving, so I did the normal (yawn) evasive against a high fast boomer...I fly 190Ds, I know the drill.

Next thing I know my wings are gone.

The boy hits what he shoots at and knows how to stage his attacks. Haven't seen him do any gaming apart from being good at the game. Any time I hear he's on I head that direction and start filming. You learn the most from the people you can't kill.

Unexpected stuff happens; get over it already. Any group that can get a mob of goons to a base unmolested deserves kudos. Anyone who complains about too many goons is a bad shot. Man, I’d love to be in a fighter and run into a gaggle of goons.

Wouldn't that be called a murder of goons then...

as I read this thread, all I can think about is how the auto ack doesnt blast 10 troops in 10 shots? I mean my 300+MPH Yak usually doesnt make it through the auto ack with taking several hits.

Ive never seen Shawk game the game either, but I have seen him bomb fighter GV and even PT with consistency. Any of us could rank much higher than we do, all we need is
1)to care about rank(this is the only one I have trouble with)
2)know how it works
3)apply ourselves accordingly.

(Forest Gump impression) "And that's all I have to say about that."

Many of you certainly could rank higher if you tried, but how many could rank #1?

Let's consider this on the general scale of gaminess, comparing decoy troops with some established norms

Infinite lives, instant new planes. Much gamier.

Bombers can't shoot while on the runway. WTF?! Much much gamier.

Tanks travel at light speed across the map, because HT knows the average GVer has nowhere near the faculties and attention span required to travel 25miles at 15mph. Maybe even gamier than warplanes that aren't allowed to shoot. Even gamier still!

I'm losing interest in this topic, but you can see that using troops to bait the guns is kind of silly, and surely can't be affecting the outcome of the vulch more than anything else is.

I think if I wanted too & had enough free time I could. Not much time these days, & absolutely no desire to be ranked #1. I doubt I could handle all the fortune fame and loose women that being #1 in AH brings:aok .

Yes, is #1 really worth it?
some fame, some fortune, then rehab, destitution, hosting a morning radio show, stealing cars like a Baldwin, finally you're just everybody's B in prison.

Nah, let SHawk have it.

It's all just a stupid Jedi mind trick:noid

Stop hijacking this post about SHawks (edited from Skyrock) being No. 1.

This dropping troops over a base to kill the ack is very serious stuff. Next thing we'll have dogs and cats living together...MASS HYSTERIA!!

I am appalled by this, and take fierce umbrage at anyone who disagrees with me...on whatever.
