Got to play on my first Titanic Tuesday and was a bit disapointed. Just a bit. The map was so huge that even though there were 400-500 people They were spread out all over with the exception of the 15 hour furball at A9. Maybe a smaller map to put more people in a smaller space.

hmm....I am confused your dissapointed that there isnt any large battles yet you knew there was one at a9.

A9 was stupid. With 15k mountains with STEEPER than 45 degree angled slopes, you drop below 15k and there's no ifs ands or buts about it, you're going to get dogpiled. Add to that the fact there were 50+ enemy planes all over 9 and they only attacked when they were able to jump planes in a 10:1 ratio (you think I'm kidding but I'm not).

Not to mention before that the suicide porkers hitting 8 only tried to run, and when you CAUGHT them, because they were on the deck and you could dive on them, the second you passed 1.0k they nosed into the ground on purpose. (you think I'm kidding but I'm not -- one even rolled inverted and pulled back to do it). And that's JUST what I saw at A8/A9! What I saw elsewhere was equally disgusting.

Titanic Tuesday is nothing but a giant gang rape coupled with nonstop suicide porking and AVOIDANCE of fights.

<-- color me displeased.

I had a good time. I didnt die once, for about... ~5-6 kills, not including vulches.

I still like it.

I only got to log on for about an hour last night and it was already late (~450 players).

I was watching landed kills. Every one was in an La-7, Spit XVI, P-51D or a N1K2 until I landed 2 in a Spit IX.

Later I saw landed kills from another Spit IX, a P47D-40 and a P-51B (1x each). Other than those (and vehicles), every landed kill over the hour I was on were in the La-7, Spit XVI, P-51D, N1K2 or a perk plane (I also saw landed kills from a C-Hog, Tempest, F4U-4 and a 262).

Titanic Tuesday is evidently also Late War Monster night.

Well I haven't had a chance to play Titanic Tuseday during prime time as it conflicts with the AHX Racing Series. I have had more fun during the off hours when TitTus is in place.

IMO it's so much easier to find a fight or something to do, because there are more players in the arena. If you want to go capture bases, there is generally guys doing missions. If you want to furball you can generally find a furball. If you want to GV you can always get a GV fight going. Smaller fights are also easier to find.

Really if it was that bad at the "only furball" then you could have changed it. It's not hard to get a furball or a fight going between two bases. All you have to do is get two or three other guys to go on a fake raid mission at the enemy base.

Soon as the other team see three to four enemy cons going to their base it's almost a given that someone will up to defend it. Assuming you don't deack the base and try to vulch or cap it you will likely get a fight going.

I say if you can't find a fight on TitTues well you can't be trying very hard.. JMHO.

Suicide porking, 10 to 1 fights, bomb n bail missions, indestructible planes and GVs, malfunctioning radar, and repeated loss of all voice comms were the prevailing themes of the night.

Killed a lot of squeakers though, so it wasn't all bad.

The Olympic moto is citius (swifter), altius (higher), fortius (stronger).

Same motto for Titanic Tuesday.

Didnt catch JG11 in Ta-152s?

Obviously I was too polite about Tit Tuesday. A9 was stupid. Almost every fight I found was very one sided. And I wasn't on the good side. I got bounced two or three times at 20k+. Gigantic gang rape was an apt description. A smaller map would lead to more of the same.
How about instead of Tit Tuesday, we have a Europe, PAC or Russian front.
