Rox, I've tried really, really hard to stay out of this whole "mess" since my first post, but you've pushed it far enough.
First off, nobody, and I mean no body in the 80th spies. Ask anyone who has been in this game for more then a month. All respectable "vets" will tell you that that isn't what the 80th does. We're a wacky, go have fun and do crazy stuff kind of squad, who happen to be very interested in the history around the P-38 and the "HeadHunters." We don't care one bit about "winning the war," or taking bases, or anything like that. We're into flying around in 38's, laughing, and getting shot down.
Second, this whole push the switching time up to a week is absolutely outrageous. This game is lucky to have people like the 80th, and a lot of other kind folks, who are willing to switch sides to even it up, so that (I might add) you and A LOT of other players can fly their 5 ENY plane in the hoard without ENY getting to high. There are multiple reasons why people switch sides, which include switching to fly with friends, ENY, low numbers, to find a fight, etc. I know that when I'm in mid war all by myself, I scan the map looking for the biggest dar bar swarming a base, and then switch to that side that is getting pounded and go to that base to find a fight. No I don't spy, but apparently by your logic I am one...
I can only speculate as to how the 262's showed up when you guys were absolutely NOE as you about put it, as I wasn't on, but I proudly stand by my squad knowing that they didn't spy, and offer to pay for your account if they did. But you have to realize, and this isn't a dog on you (well, not exactly) but you happen to organize big raids, 40/50 plus and push for a base that is isolated and all by itself where it will have little opposition. Combine that with the fact that you have a lot of new players who don't know what they are doing with you on your raids (I was pm'ing someone who was running these missions with you who stated exactly that), and I'm sure it's not at all hard to find where you guys are upping at. Either you guys broke dar (which would be very easy), or a friendly gv/bomber spotted you, or whatever. And knowing that you guys go after the isolated, undefended bases also gives clues as to where you are going.
Thing about it Rox, if they we're "spying," how would they find out where the mission is upping from you, then switch sides, then up 262's, THEN climb out, THEN reach your base just as you guys were getting going? It doesn't make sense, and yet you continue to accuse them of spying on you.
Trust me, I used to me like you somewhat (I havn't been in this game that long) where I was strictly loyal to a chess piece (the Knights infact) and cared a lot about missions and base taking. I even had fun doing missions, as I like team unity, cohesion, and team work. But after a while, you begin to realize that running down bases mission after mission leaves a little be be desired. You start to want to actually be an "ace," someone who can roam the sky by yourself and defeat anyone who comes your way in a twisting and turning 1v1. That's what pulled me away from missions, and along the way I meat the greatest bunch of guys on the face of the planet. I'm glad I've been accepted by the 80th, because it's a whole new ball game. It's strictly crazy fun. They/we don't care about winning the war, taking bases, coming back alive, or score in any way. It's just about flying around with each other in 38's and seeing how long we can survive before we auger in. I'm sure you'll get there eventually also.
