LOL, the whole point of an NOE raid is to NOT have to fight you. Should you get lucky, find and intercept one in time, don't hang around after looking for more bandits. They've gone looking for another undefended base.
Sir, 15 minutes of climb in the slowest climbing fighters will put you at 30K. Objecting to 15 minutes of climbing might be valid, objecting to 3-4 minutes borders on ADD.
A huge portion of the inanity, hording, and the same set of planes having all of the edges all of the time in the MA is the fact that it really is almost all "in the weeds". There is nothing wrong with dogfighting at low altitude of course but variety, fun, and historical interest would be better served if *something* was done to promote more high-altitude dogfights, not the opposite.
Whats funny is that you claim its to avoid a fight, you couldn't be more wrong.
If taking a base means to climb in at alt against a formidable foe at alt, well we do that too and more often than NOE's.
What most of us dont like is to fight a horde that are already at HI alt and perched above the field. Yes can you believe that, a horde. Most of you players that have posted on here are just the same as what you call the NOE horde, you just do it at alt and as a horde far outnumbering who your attacking and with plenty of alt and E. So, running NOE's is somehow not accepted? Sure it is.
You have a choice to continue to do what your doing, defend, attack, etc. Your 15 bucks. But dont try to criminalize a tactic when you could very well be doing what also is not accepted by someone else.
Out of the few of you that truly look for a 1vs1 fight witout getting involved in a pick fest, your truly a rare player. I mean a few of you. The rest of the imposter's hide amongst the horde of pickers, vulchers, etc. to get the easy kills and worry about their score.
Well, I have done my share of feeding that horde, gets you rightly tired. I spend alot of time looking for a decent fight, rarely do I find one. Somedays are diamonds, somedays are coal.
As for the respect, I think some of you think you deserve it for how long you have playing this game, or how you so called help the community, forgive me but some of you are part of this problem in many ways. You spend your time ranting on the boards about play but do nothing in game to educate new players, some of you teach them what you say you despise. Its a round robin.
I read a different complaint every week about everyone elses way of playing is wrong but yours. Cant horde, but its ok when you do it, cant NOE but its ok when you do it, cant ho, but its ok when you do it. Cant disrespect anyone, but its ok you do it daily, it goes on and on.
Thats why we just play the way we do, have fun the way we want to, there is such a double standard with alot of you its incredible. Many see it, some deny it. Until this changes nothing will.
