furballing vs. sustained offensive

[Ghosth]

Long & short of it, its the other guys dime, he flys the way he choses.

Do what you can with what you have, and make the best of it.

Apers you were doing fine until you put out, "I feel like the only one". Well your not the only one that feels that way. But in this thread youve ran into a few that have no problems telling others how to play but dont dare suggest "they" should play a different way.

                         Truth is a lot of guys enjoy furballing. I personally enjoy strategy and teamwork, "as well as blowing things up". To each their own, its all good baby. I know with the Rooks you often get loose coalitions working together to take bases and choke off the Bish and Knits with bombers and Jabos. At the same time others are furballing and tying up gobs of enemy fighters. When you have the right mix, and Dredger and Lynx are on-line, bases fall. And fighters fall in the furball.

                    Lately Ive been taking out ords at the frontline. Does it help the team?? Yeah probably. But it also means Im likely to get a little action too.

                  Storch Im sure the 5'th SOAR has nothing but good to say about you too.  This is about the 10'th post in a row Ive seen you badmouthing somebody. I'll bet you got picked on a lot as a kid. Or, you are actually "a kid".

Long time ago was a discussion on having one arena for furballers and second one for winning wars, I agree the arenas should stay way they are.
Ones who want to take bases need to join a squad and do squad opperations and leave those who pay 15 bucks just to furball to do just that. I happen to be a rounded experienced player, prefer furballing, base taking, and special events, so I really don't care on winning a war simply because the perks wont even match one sortie i make shooting down aircraft, if were making a push ill gladly help out in porking and such. Just funny to hear on country channel that there is ALWAYS something someone has to cry about. ENY, HO Ram, w3r Winners, check 6 calls etc.

Pay your 15 bucks and play how you want, don't care bout anyone else.

I think he has a valid point.  I often wondered why, rather than circling their own bases defensively people didn't fly over and attack the enemy base next door.  So, in my quest for turning the war around I'd be the one to do so.

I'd start a base back, fly over the incoming cons to get to their base then attack them while they were low and slow.  It just seemed like good common tactical sense (and still does).

On the other hand, I've spent a little time circling waiting for the incoming cons and now I realize why people do it.  It's easy.

You get a big support group (hoard) against a straggling conga line of incoming single cons and even if they have E to begin with they don't keep it for long.  You have a nearby base to quickly land your kills when the action settles or to get to if you take damage.  You can up, get kills, land and re-up at least a couple of times while each enemy spends their time in transit.  You don't have to put up with enemy ack or worry about fuel or an exit strategy.

I think everyone should limit their game to circling their own bases from now on (Storch will like this because that's what Seagulls do around garbage scows looking for an easy meal).  

And for those who might disagree, play my way or die s***a's!

Without "toolshedders", the "furballers", wouldn't have the furballs.

In April I will have played this game for 6 years.   I no longer care if Rooks "win" and get free perks.    I earn em by flying a cartoon aircraft in a game.    I also don't gripe about the ENY because I fly Mid-war/early-war rides in the Late war's.

I'm not whining, I'm stating that you're attacking my character. and you continue to do so.

I'm simply stating an observation, and trying to find others of like mind to fly with. You're simply trolling.






Once again, I love furballs. I just wish they weren't directly over friendly bases half the time. Sometimes I'd like them to be over the enemy base, or the water. I like to vary my entertainment.


I'll give the 5th SOAR a look-see.

Just like I first said you want people to play like you.

Is there a time limit whereupon a base defense/base attack
or establishing a cap/breaking a cap becomes A FURBALL!



Maybe  we can establish a strict time limit and if it is exceeded we can all auger  count to 30 and up somewhere else..

no sense fostering rumors of AIR COMBAT!


A good base take would be to prevail over a strong defense.... so if you cant get it done while we tie up the fighters don't blame us:D  



Turns out I can drop bombs on empty buildings offline.

It's all about the fight, if you're playing this game to not have a fight, then you're playing for all the wrong reasons!!!!:aok

The 708th Rolling Flatulence also fall into that category.


ack-ack

AKAK! where u been??? i havent seen u in the MA in long time.

hope all is well <>

I log on to do what I want to. Every now and then I will "try" to help with a base capture (cant believe I admitted that) but generally I just look for a fight here and there.

The Squad I'm in can take bases and knows how to. And , I might add generally does a good job when we set out to do that.

However , If "winning" the "war" was basically the only way to get perks , I'd have zippo.

I make more perkies in an hour of flying usually than if the Knights win(which is hardaly ever:lol )

I've been in the Toolsheddar bunch....After leaving it and just learning to die more to bullets than ACK.....I have found alot more fun.
