All hail...

...the "great" landgrab warriors!
Rolling undefended fields like Thunder across the valley.
The true elite Raptors of the Aces High skies.


The il2 just doesn't have enough ammo...

In both cases the other 1/2 are at the town.

These squads have reason to be proud of themselves!

That many GVs must have taken an extrordinary amount of time to reach that field!! Wow thats a lot of Gvs!

If somebody didn't spot that comin a mile away thats there own fault!

Plenty of time to rally the troops for defense either way.

Imagine the carnage that would have ensued if either of those attacks were caught in time!!

Fun fun fun!!

if an NOE comes in and the base is totally undefended its purely the fault of the defenders (or lack there of)..

why are NOEs so effective?

well it plays out as such:

somebody types "A23 is flashing"  but they themselves don't go there.. figuring someone else will go, they called it out, did their part.

then as it keeps flashing..  those hundred plus people who saw the message that A23 is flashing, ignore it,  figuring others will respond, they are buisy.

finally as the mission "hits" someone goes to the tower and says "ALERT NOE! A23" by then the base is capped and the town is getting obliterated..  even then almost nobody upps for the last ditch effort at defense..

probably because they already logged out to come make a post about how lame NOEs are  :aok

POTW is knight.  That cannot possibly be POTW.  Also, yes, the squad likes taking bases, but more often than not, we have been flying fighter sweeps of late, and some of us are dedicated air to air/furballers.  We also switch between landgrabbing and furballing at a moments notice.  Don't presume to lump everyone in the squad together.  We dont "gang tard" but we WILL clear each others 6 unless called off by the squadmate.  Unless you have flown with us, you have no way of knowing our playstyle, and should respect that fact by not spouting off.  I respect the muppets for their (generally) decent skills in Air to Air, I love dogfighting you guys, but you should also respect the playstyles of other folks.  Sometimes the pigs want to landgrab, sometimes we furball, what is wrong with either? either way we are having fun.  If flying into a large group of us is not fun to you, it is simple.  Don't do it.

Gotta agree with this.  I would have had a blast spotting all those tanks and then going after them with a B-25 or A-20/IL2.

Somebody is insufficiently disinterested in the outcome of the "war" IMHO. :devil

OTOH, I am beginning to think that DAR indicators should go all the way to the soil. The smash and grab NOE thing is just incessant. You might see some fights at more realistic alts and more realistic mission types if NOEs weren't far and away the easiest way to grab a base.
"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."
