the gamyness of it
« on: January 24, 2008, 05:28:57 PM »
I'm not posting this as a whine or even a complaint but as an observation as both sides seem to be doing this.  my concern is how this behavior will affect the game in the AvA.

we have some MA experten who bring with them to arena all the game the game skills they have aquired.  I'll list them for your opinion.

1. the bomb porker ejector, once their bombrun is complete they simply bail from all three and are back porking in half of the time.

2. the off hours base milkers.  bases are being clobbered and taken undefended or very lightly defended.

3. the ack circlers up their spits or A6Ms and never leave the ack or the horde.

while both sides are guilty I think you'll find the allied side is more egregiously culpable than axis.

the axis have been almost completely outmanned 2:1 this phase.  I have screenies if any staff are interested in them

Thats Allied effeicency for ya. :aok

Seriously though...in a game there is always gonna be some gaming going on.  I can speak for myself and the JG11 gang to your 3 points though:

1. JG11 planes have there cockpits bolted shut.  ( witnessed enemy guys bailing after drop last night).  Boo.

2. Old, current, and future issue.  JG11 doesnt capture many fields.

3. If guys wanna cap there fields in defence...no foul there.

Carry on.

So far for me, I am really enjoying the intense fighting when there are good numbers in the Arena.  Adding a real life map will only increase the fun for me, but hats off to the maker of this current one.  Field distances are perfect for the action.  Always someone coming in higher than yourself, and quickly to.  Coupled with short icon ranges, it makes for high energy game play!

Fly AvA.

Edit: Oh, and no dar bar is the best.  Dar bars ruin the action. (IMO).

I for one think what we are doing right now is the important thing...talking about the issues.  I do not know your guys wants for the AVA, but I certainly want to see this continue in some way or form.  There is already discussion in my own squad about flying Axis next go-around.  I think a few other squads considering this would be a great idea.  You will gain a more rounded plane experience, and makes the AVA better for all who play here.  As far as the tard-bots described above, there will be those  who do it.  Talking about ack-hugging, it truly is a universal defense for both Allied & Axis.  We all use it every once in awhile.:aok

Posts like this crack me up.  :rofl

Every time I have logged in there have been 2 or 3 Luftwaffe players for each Allied player and gobs of Ju88s porking strats and 190s porking airfields.  So what.  It is a battle not a duel.

Things change, it is dynamic.  Complaining about the odds is like calling Galland and asking him to leave 2 of his Gruppen at home the next time he crosses the channel.

it's dynamic at primetime during the off hours there is one squad in there consistently porking.  at those times the dynamism flies out the window along with your objectivity.
