LETS SEE WHO CATCHES THE TYPO 1ST   

[Guppy35]

I think you said what needed to be said.  : I am all about having fun and making fun of  trolls who think everyone should be in 1 huge furball because that's what they like to do...That is what it sounds like u are trying to say...I like taking bases for my 15$ a month.We as a squad use the element of surprise to take bases because we do not count on other peoples help to take them..I do not have four hours a night to waste furballing over any one base..So what I mean about organization is I do not count on other folks besides squad members to do a particular job..Most people can't drop a hanger the way our squad has been trained to do. We will drop all hangers in jugs on one pass then take out what ever else needs to be taken out to be successful..If one person misses there hanger then the mission could fail horribly. It is a squad thing and it takes precision ,and practice that we pride ourselves in..Lately we have not been doing that kind of stuff. well this tour anyhow...So if we are not indulging in your massive pointless furball please don't be a troll about it...PS. your suggestion was pointed towards people using excuses not to fight or furball get your facts strait 

Trigg, Can you quote me where I said anything about furballing?  You keep talking about mindless furballing.  Show me where I asked for that?  What I'm laughing at is someone patting himself on the back for taking undefended bases.   The suggestion is for them/you to bring that crowd and attack where there is a fight, not to roll undefended bases and call it strategy.

Let me send you the films from the DGS scenario where all us 'mindless furballers' actually flew 2+ hour bomber escort missions to defended targets.  Now THAT was fun and it wasn't about kills, it was about the challenge of going into the teeth of the defenses and doing the job.

What the heck, I'll send you some SAPP night film where we tell the crowd exactly where we're going so they can come up and play.

But again, show me where I asked for mindless furballing?  If you are going to argue, at least be accurate in your points.

Our 'mindless group of furballers' did so well that bomber groups were requesting us routinely. We stayed with the buffs, even after one group found cloud cover over the primary, the secondary, and the tertiary target. It was by far the deepest incursion during DGS and our P38s landed with just a few gallons, I stopped on the runway with 8 gallons left and went deadstick taxing.

I will never forget that experience, even the milk run we had was entertaining. 

However, you'll never catch me escorting bombers in the MA, they target the airfields and HQ and neither one is conducive to encouraging a fight.

What's so mindless about furballing as compared to mindlessly stealing undefended bases NOE?  No one has ever explained that to me when they give the old "they just furball and don't join my misshuns!" argument.

At least the furball types are fighting the enemy as opposed to going out of their way avoiding 'em.

Said it before, say it again, if all ya' do is hoard undefended bases ya' may as well fly offline and save the $15 bucks subscription fee.

THIS Titanic Tue. try running those missions at fields with large enemy dar bars.

I know you are thinking "but, but Lute...  we won't take the base if we do that!!!".

When me and mine are flying towards an nme base with intentions of capturing it and I see the dar bar gettin' huge I almost always say "Woot!  It just got FUN!".

The best, the very BEST captures are the ones where you gota fight for it.  ANY pack of 2 week dweebs can hoard an undefended field and capture it.  It takes all that 'skills' you say your group showed last Tue. to take a base that is well defended.

My fav. is when we as attackers are slightly out numbered.  THAT takes skill, planning, etc.  (and a well flown, smart and sneaky goon pilot.  <S> to Spacer, one of the best goon pilots in the game)

10 vs. 15 = (worthy of a BBS thread)
20 vs. 4 = (not so much)

Base capture missions have to be NOE
because one vehicle can stop a whole
capture.

These vehicles in AHII must have 4" armor..much
tougher then the same vehicles I watch getting
killed by a 3-second burst from P-47's when
viewing gun camera footage from the war.

When vehicle vulnerability more accurately
reflects historical reality the NOE missions will be things
of the past.

Just saying...

Doesn't one of the 40 guys in your mission carry an egg for the GV? If you were so adept at egging as you say, killing it should be a piece of cake.

I sincerely hope HiTech is reading this thread to discover how much his game has changed, for the worse.

[WWM]

Negative worthless replies. Rokks dominated last TT plain and simple.... SALUTE ROOKS! Yall jealous hahahahahahah. You all are cryin on this thread cause we whomped ur arses!!!!!

Whats funny/sad is he is like 20 years old.  And I think they "Yall" are laughing

[Dadsguns]

Said it before, say it again, if all ya' do is hoard undefended bases ya' may as well fly offline and save the $15 bucks subscription fee.  who's fault is it that no one defends it and chooses to stay in a furball?[

THIS Titanic Tue. try running those missions at fields with large enemy dar bars.  We did it last Titanic Tue. and will surely do it again, we took a base that had far outnumbered us.

Greed can be a killer... in this case lack of SA in your entire front.  But if you need us to continue taking bases where the furball is, will do. In the meantime, keep an eye on the bases you no longer want, we'll take em' too. 

This is why they  Rooks/LCA were so succesful, Bish didnt defend them, they also failed to mention all the denials that were dished out on the ones that were defended.   

So what was your point again?

I'm sorry Delirium.
But could you direct me to the gun camera footage
you are referring to?  Anyone viewing wartime films
can see that .50 caliber bullets (not to mention 20mm)
can easily kill armor; especially when open topped
armor is attacked from above.

But who cares anyway?

To me, this whole argument about taking undefended
bases,,blah, blah, blah..is old.  We'll play the game we want,
you play the game you want.  The $15 is the same either way.
In the final analysis, its all about having fun with that $15.

I don't care if all you want is to fly around and count sheep.
If you enjoy that, more power to you.  Just have a good time.

Enough said.

[Delirium]

96Delta do you really believe the history channel and everything they show/tell you?

I have numerous accounts how German panzer columns would pull off the road and would only proceed after the Allied Jabos had dropped their bombs and began to strafe. They knew the .50 cal had no chance of peircing their skin and just buttoned up as they traveled. Only the supply columns and infantry were really vulnerable to the guns of the Allied fighters.

The .50cal M2 was designed as an antitank weapon, but by the time WWII began it really didn't have the penetration for much besides armored cars and that wasn't assured.

Either way, are you telling me that one of your 40 guys can't 'egg' the panzer as he attempts to prevent the capture?

[ink]

honestly i love to fight , i have no intrests in any other aspect of Aces High(allthough i have tried it all),so if a base was taken while i was fighting out of it, all good, i will find another base to up out of,  if the war was won, all good, a new map will be rolling around very soon and i will find another fight!

someone already said its about having fun and enjoying oneself, i wholeheartedly agree,

i dont give anyone crap unless they give it to me first, and i try to <S> a good fight gangbanged or not, win or loose, if every one flew this way 200 would be boring

fight your fight and to hell with anyone who griefs you for it.

I didn't ask for why you had to run NOE.  I didn't ask about your percieved problems with tank armour in the game.

I asked "What's so mindless about furballing as compared to mindlessly stealing undefended bases NOE?"

You can even remove the NOE part really, I don't find base capture very entertaining.  It won't lead to the fights I play the game for.  Why is furballing so "mindless" or "wasteful" as compared to base capture?  No one will ever explain that.  If they tried their argument would probably spontaneously combust.

[Rich46yo]

I dont see all that much difference between NOE missions and most furballs. Earlier in the week I spent 2 days defending bases where it was a constant 3 on 1, or 5 on 1, with the enemy always having tons of Alt. coming in on you. I cant remember the last legit 1 on 1 I had flying with the furball crowd.

Most furballing squads waving the flag here, if not all, are nothing but NOE gangbangers only at 10,000' instead of 200'. Many high scorers dance around at 20,000' afraid to commit unless its an easy one because it might affect their score. And then we have the vulch specialists?

So I like both flying in, and against, NOE missions. They are fairly easy to defeat as long as your not someone who needs prozac if you actually get killed in a cartoon fight. One of the things I like about the LCA, besides the guys, is nobody gives a hoot about their score.

I would fly with them anyday. They are a good bunch of guys.

[bongaroo]

Still no one wants to explain how base capture isn't mindless while furballing is.
