The END of the Bishop Hoard

You hate ENY?

Learn to fly the JUG.  I rarely have to change my ride unless I want to fly my second the F6F or FM2.  I hate ENY but it aint going to go away.  I hate the thought of being not aloud to log on due to ENY.  I pay the fee to fly, whether it is in a JUG or a P40....Wow I said I would fly the P40.  Mark it down men, the JUGMAN has gone looney.

BTW MajIssue, I ran into a Bish 27 ENY in one of the arenas last week.  I logged out and went to the arena we were outnumbered in, the point being if there is ENY to deal with you're in the wrong arena... they don't NEED more help.


Thanks Baldeagle... It's good to know that what I was seeing the last few days WAS NOT a trend, but part of the normal cyclical nature of the game...

I know I'm paronoid, but am I paronoid enough

Sorry you missed my point Jugman, Let me clarify: I don't mind ENY... I don't like a huge mismatch in numbers. Do you like to get gangbanged every time you up? I don't either. Usually I'll log on to wherever my squaddies are regardless on the ENY, and do what I can to help.

Seems some of the better Bish squads came Knights at the same time we did.   Knights have been battered for well over the last year or so by BOTH sides.

Bish have been outnumbered when I have been about recently.  (Good they deserve to be pillaged for all their worth the scumbags)  oh did i say that out loud :p

May be heading their way if I could convince myself and the rest of my squad to do so.  Only ever done 1 full tour there.

That's a scream Bruv!!!! for what it's worth you guys are always welcome over here. There are good and bad outfits here (just like the knights and rooks), and I'm sure our squad would have fun flying WITH you instead of trying to tool you!!!:lol

If ENY is high....you have the advantage in numbers....so shut up

If the enemy has number advantage you have no ENY issues ...that means "Target rich" environment ....something I like alot!

....what the hell are you talking about ?


being gangbanged and vulched is NOT fun... If you disagree then I question your sincerity. ENY is not a problem because I usually fly FW's and buffs, plus it is just part of the game. I'm not asking about a small numbers disparity but one where it is difficult to get off the gound... Point in case was late last night!

When ENY was created, it was the Knights that had a huge number advantage.

Yes it is cyclical.  It tends to shift every six months ish.

Being (mostly) a knit, this past year I have learned how to "deal with the hoard" and actually, it's quite ezy.

Pork.

3-5 players can up and pork the front line bases of the hoard in 20min and stop it cold.  No troops, no ord, no hoard (hey, that kinda rhymes!)

Another tip is to overfly the hoard, and hunt at the field they are upping from.  2-3 players, if they are smart, can tie up 10+ players and keep them from getting alt, allowing the field being attacked to get some planes in the air and w/ some alt.  Hoards otd are much easier to deal with.

Fighting the hoard can be fun!  Hunt the fringes, pick your fights, and you can clean up!  Some of my fav. fights have been 4-6 of us knits defending against 2-3 times our numbers and holding them off for hours.

I've always flown with the Bishops, and have seen and participated in  the "hoard" that is so lamented and dispised (on this forum), although personally I like squad sized operations. Lately though that has changed... It has been a such long time since I've had to deal with ENY that I am getting spoiled by having the entire planeset available ALL the time.

My instincts are to attack and keep the initative, but it has been hard to keep any kind of momentum going when outnumbered 3-2 on such a regular basis.

I deal with being outnumbered as it presents itself, but can anyone think of a better way to keep the sides more balanced than the ENY system we currently enjoy? Increase the ENY for the biggest side? Prevent the largest side from having new players logging on until more equity is present?

Also is this condition (fighting short handed) cyclical with all of the countries? Does every "dog" indeed have it's day in the AH2 world?

It was so bad last night at 10 PM Pacific time [112-96-68] (Titanic Tuesday) that I suggested (jokingly) that all of us Bish switch countries in mass... (like that would ever happen)

Down range is no longer clear... Firers, pull back the charging handle on your .50 cals and watch your lane!


 bishland is the best country of AH to live in, always  fun to watch the noissy squeekers  escorting CVs in PTboats like lazzy hippos, resuping enemy bases ,also sending join msgs untill my La7 looks like a crowded schoolbus,  driving panzers 2 sectors without spawn, defending HQ in M8s

i still think it would be good if ENY was so bad country A would be locked out of the arena, and have to either fly for other country or other arena.

Was gonna say the same thing! :rofl

Besides, I like flying both with and against the BoP's.  Some fun fights ensue between the AK's and them!

I think it says flight is disabled at an ENY of 29, but I don't believe it actually is. I've seen ENY exceed 30, with planes still available.
