an easy fix.......... raise the monthly gameplay fee to $30.00 like it was in the beginning

another fix....... maybe have a PREMIUM Arena, where people can subscribe and possibly pay an additional $5.00 fee to root out all the undesirables

or another fix......have an arena where several pillars of the community ( long time Vet players - like Nobaddy, NoPoop, etc...) vote & invite only worthy players to this arena,

or another possible fix ...... make an even more demanding, more realistic arena , and leave all the gamey types in the existing arenas....

one thing is certian here, The Players ( Community ) does not set the tone , does not police itself, does not cast enough stones on deserving individuals these days, and everything is to stinking PC........

It could possibly be all about "perspective".

One player could be fighting in the furball and dying lots and think "we are getting beat here, the nme is winning!  I better kill that nme cv to save the base " and up's buffs for it.

You on the other hand could be on the same side, in the same furball, and winning most your fights thinking "WOW! this furball is GREAT!  I am having a BLAST!  I hope nobody kills that nme cv"

It's all about "perspective".

On a side note, how many of y'all know any "dedicated" bomber pilot that can fly fighters worth a darn?  Could there possibly be a correlation there.

The guy who sank the CV was not seen in the area  before or after this happened. The fight that was interrupted was the only ongoing fight, with other action being limited to one side or another attacking more or less undefended fields, and the largest green dar bar was over the field we were flying out of. There's your most likely correlation. You're a knit, Lute, surely you've seen Fortress running around crashing B-17s into things?

Kaybay.. did you overdose on sugar or something?
 .. You haven't been around very long, or haven't been paying much attention to vox/text..  Not only do CVs get used as mobile furball generators, lots of bases are captured or attempted to just to get players to up and start a fight.. With no real intent to "capture" anything.

Been around a very long time Moot and have flown as knits, bish, and rooks. Still haven't heard anyone say that. Maybe a new development. What I hear mostly is don't up cv, we're trying to sneak the base  :lol

Well my perspective was after his PM to me after he did it.  Wasn't the type of PM I would send to someone and definitely not a PM from someone that was there for the fun of game...

Either way, it is the individual and a few others that get their rocks off doing it.  Not the whole of buff pilots.

I kinda agree with you TC but on some level i honestly wouldnt be able to afford the game on my limited budget(working and saving for a chance to come to usa)Ive been here for long enough to know that that wouldnt be a viable solution for HTC ;)

Sloe, I know who it was, and I know why they did it.  They do it to piss people off.  I even got a PM about it after because they thought it was so funny... 

I am not against buffs, sinking cv's, or the strat war at all.  I just hate dive bombing jackoffs in buffs sinking cv's in the most unrealistic manner possible.  Face it, it is really hard to defend against a group of B-17's diving on a cv from 10k.

Either way, it does not matter.  Some people agree, others do not, some don't care.  The fact that a few came in and dropped some cheap shots at me really doesn't matter either.  It shows me that they are not looking at the whole issue, and instead choose to be griefers as opposed to helping find a solution. 


The only solution (without a modeling change to prevent divebombing heavies) is for the community to make it so that divebombing with heavies is considered such an awful lame thing to do, that people would be ashamed if they got caught doing it.

And if they got caught, they would recieve a knock on thier door, and when opened they would recieve a punch in the forehead.

Should I, a bomber pilot, NOT sink an enemy CV when I see one?  That's like telling a furballer "if you see some enemy buffs while on the way to a furball DO NOT SHOOT THEM DOWN."  I can count 1000 times when that's happened to me and you don't see me whining about it in the forums.

There is no more fun fight than a cv offshore with a zillion low-powered, low-alt planes upping off it, flailing away at everything in sight---they are ALWAYS the best furballs, and I'd imagine a damn small % of such ventures eventually result in base captures--as a defender, I have the unusual advantage of NOT fighting Lgheys and K4's, and the planes arent coming in at 15k---as the cv guy, I have the advantage of a zillion laser-acks whacking the incoming vultures....win-win scenario :aok

Bodhi, I was curious, did you say anything on ch.200 about this, before the guy PM'd you?

Within the DA map is an area for bombing too.  Why is it empty?

To be honest, I think Masherbrum said it best; There is no score.

I always kinda thought that would have been a better place for a tank town, with all the factories' and cities, but o well.
