I truthfully can't remember when on a squad night that I've seen anymore than 20 BOPS in a mission due to ENY. Not to mention the spies that are stalking us every monday night to give you advance warning. Just cause you see a bunch of frigging planes doesn't mean it's us.

First off my post was NOT directed at the BOPs, I used them as an example because they are a large squad, and commonly get those kind of numbers on a squad night ( don't say you don't because I have flown against them many times)
This part I am directing towards the BOPs. its the attitude those few of you that come in here and cry and whine about "their bad mouthing the BOPs again" is one of the problems in this game.
Having the mentality to believe that having your two, or three squads of guys completely destroy a base in one pass, is first fun, and second defendable against is just ridiculous. Its up to your squad, and GHI's "missions" to help make the game fun for everyone.
To me, having that many pilots at my disposal would spawn great plans of attack, fighter sweep, base captures at two, three bases at once, bases captures on BOTH fronts at once. Think of the challages, the timings, the fun!!
Instead you load up 30-40 guys, bomb a base into oblivion, and race your squad mates gang the few guys that try to defend, sad really.
The whole "community" is falling into this.... what would you call it, "poor gamesmenship"? In the old days when you saw two guys fighting it out, you asked if they wanted help. Today you have 5 guys diving "to save a countrymen". In the old days squads fought each other, now they runaway, and look for the easy base to grab.
Its all up to the community to fix this. It starts with squads laying down some rules, like as your squad is running its mission, they get over the base, and only a few guy up to defend. Its up to the CO to call out to "Red Flight" leader and have him and the other 3 planes in his wing to deal with it, and have the rest stand by. Its up to individuals to use their heads and say, "ok they have him covered. I circle here" or "I'll head NE because the next closest support base is that way"
In stead of causing grief with your tactics and just getting people so frustrated they log off, use your tactics to make the game fun, and challanging. Sure those too insecure in there skills, or too selfish to share in the fun win continue to whine and complain about any one putting forth an idea on how to make the game more fun.
In stead it will either stay stagnet, or get worst. 6 months down the road the BOP's will have a bunch of guys "retire"because they aren't having fun steam rolling undefended base, and new squad well take over, maybe they will call themselves "the SteamRollers", at least they will be honest about what they are about.
