Teamwork is a few steps above the MA normal.  Definitely what you are looking for!

First whine will be "we are getting ganged by 3 sides now"

I think this is a fabulous idea!  Shuffle all you pocket Adolf squeakers
into one country where the rest of us don't have to get ear bleeds listening
to how "stupid" we are to play it your way.

     Just think of the possibilities, an 80 man horde trying for 30 minutes
grabbing that undefended V base from those awful furballers

It would be nice for us to get away from the likes of you too.  See how long ur stupid furballs last then.

Wasn't this tried in one of the Air Warrior games already?

If anything, one of the three countries should be made of vets, the other two the rest of the players.  But even that wouldn't work.  Telling people where to fly would kill their fun.

Dear HT,

           After having played on all sides, ive come to conclusion we need a 4th side just for squads interested in teamwork.   Im bored of furballs and furballers and I would like to showcase what squad level teamwork can be like.

Any chance?

"Rooks"? - "check"
"Bishops"? - "check"
"Knights"? - "check"

If a fourth Country is brought forth, they shall be dubbed "Queens".

What about the people who like furballs?

If you want to take bases.... go for it. Taking furball bases is poor form, though.

Think of it this way.... if there are 40 odd people participating in said furball (be they engage, rtb, ib etc) they're all there because they're enjoying the fight.

Say your squad of 10 or 15 guys wants to take one of those furball bases 'because furballing is stupid'.... How is the enjoyment of you and your small group of friends more important than that of the 40+ others who are currently enjoying themselves in the furballs?

If you want to take base go somewhere else.

If you want to stop the horde.... pork the bloody troops and ord instead of taking down the figher hangars.

Lots of people (possibly the majority) don't place a lot of importance on the 'ground war' side of things. It's a side-show to give the game a little more substance.

In short, drop the attitude a little mate, people are not always going to want to play the game your way. Being a furballer doesn't stop anyone from having fun.... being an AH real-estate agent does.

Grab a fighter and have some fun.

Xasthur,

            I stay away from furballs and furballers for the most part.  I see no point in flying to a base and not trying to capture it.   It just sucks when people ask for help, such as "please pork the troops" or "hit the Dar", then when we've acheived our goals and more and are  trying to capture, those same people are too busy furballin to help all of the sudden.   Kinda removes that feelin of being on the same team and makes me wish killshooter was not a factor.

Oh well, this is a wishlist, so I made my request.

To those who don't know already.  AA is its own country.   Id play on country 4 all by myself and fight vs. all if the option was available.

AVA is a blast right now. lots of team work since there are goals that must be achieved.

It makes you wonder if only 2 sides' work better than 3.

However, We're also using a limited planeset in there, that is also side-specific (Rooks/allies, and Bishops/axis, or is it the other way around???) Anyway, a 4th country would make the ENY so much of a PITA, that most would log out of sheer frustration.

And your BBS flame wars' would rage almost out of control, here.

AAolds, in my time in AH, I've been in 2 or 3 squads' that would do a lot of Base-capture type of stuff-Some even involving flying 5 or more sectors' NOE over water to capture a V-base. And always, always, there are people screaming for this or that, things' they think ought to be done to win the war. And you know what? I had more fun simply flying 5 sectors' NOE, just sitting there shooting the **** with my squaddies, than I did augering to run and save some dweeb's ego at a failing base capture.

The best thing for you to do, honestly, is to work on the reputation of your squad, and try to get it's standing high enough with your peers' on the country you have now, so that you can get 2 or 3 squads' to co-operate with you in your goals. Don't try to be an overwhelming leader of your chesspeice, it will only bring you grief. You need to shoot for getting the help of maybe 20% of your country at best. More will rally to you, if your leadership skills' are good enough.

I believe that HTC has tried 2 sides and 4 sides but it seems to them that 3 sides are good.
