All people who change sides every hour or two do so in a light of purity and honor with absolutely no intent to relay information to an enemy. 

I'm happy you are taking your medications again, you had me worried for some time there. Be careful for the EPS, the 'lip smacking' and strange gait can be quite disturbing.

One of the best ways I know of to make sure that I at least will not even consider your mission is to spam it over and over again in all caps - and in Fonetik Inglish at that - along with the dire threats as to the evil fate that will befall all who don't partake of your "mishun".  This eliminates nearly half right there.

The other half are generally eliminated when I look at the mission screen and see either:

110's
too little fuel
ordinance on escorts
and/or no escorts

                  Go hit your bong. Cause your people skills suck.

I resemble that comment!

You get off your high horse and make me!

Seriously, you just not like me pointing out that something that monkeys could be trained to do isn't something to get all excited and proud of?  The landgrab is boring and leads to stale gameplay.

I calls 'em like I see's 'em.  You could make fun of our "pointless furballing" I guess, but I know its not pointless :D

Thank you for the tips!  I especially like the idea of using not only fighters and bombers, but also some gv's: a true combined assault.

Naturally, aircraft/vehicle and ordinance selection is the ingredients, teamwork is how you put them together! :cool:

NOTE: Not all missions are base taking missions. Some do bomber missions or fighter sweeps. Some even setup missions to get one of the other teams to react and get a good fight going. SAPP tends to post where we are so that other teams can come fight..... even when we are in c47s.

                           No. I wouldnt make fun of it. Thats my point. I could care less about how anyone else plays the game.

                           To me "stale gameplay" is seeing the same furball on Saturday that I saw on Monday. Not that I care that much cause its just a cartoon airplane game. Even if your Baron Von Richthofen in it. Or think you are.

                           But why am I even talking to this smoke hound? :huh It was a good thread until the monkey expert showed up.

I just wish that missions posted by folks would be a bit more themed....

How about some missions with Japanese Attack planes, Japanese Fighters, Japanese Troop Transports (Doh!)...  Or German Attack Planes, German Fighters, etc etc etc....


oooh, then you'ld probably like the LTAR 'pumpkin raid'...  all NIKI's with orange skins and eggs to pork up a field (ords, troops, radar and ack)   :D

... every successful raid needs onions and a dash of paprika.

Bong boy hit the nail on the head. 

I guess if all you're capable of in game is ferrying some eggs to the town or field on autopilot, by all means go for it, it's your fun and your dime.  The true essence of this game isn't in that though, nor the most ammount of fun.
