Not seeing the forest for the trees

[Steve]

Allow me to point out something here. I see many rooks landing multiple kills continuously. Meanwhile while they are landing all these kills Rooks are losing bases left and right. So while everyone is getting high 5s they are losing the war. Basically they are not seeing the forest for the trees. They don't take down troops at even isolated vbases. So if you want to boast about your stats. Please do. However there is much more at stake and much more to the game.

There may be more at stake for how you choose to play the game. Since the game has multiple objectives, your statement is wholly invalid.

They're gone.

The genre has evolved. AH more or less a further step in that evolution, especially if you take a look at where Hitech & Pyro have come from.

But still, my post was a simple answer to your implied assumption that without war there would be no combat.
It would be different combat, maybe even less combat (and most probably combat without me) ... but still combat.

Why would there be combat with out war?

Ever visited the dueling arena?  People engage in air combat simply because it's fun!  Even the dweebs in the pond understand that.

Now you've done it.

My buddy and I used to play this game for hours when we were about 10 years old because it was the first flight sim we found where we could fight each other instead of flying against AI:




He's in the Air Force now and flies the real thing.

Then go there. For those who want more stay in ma.

About a week ago I looked took a look and it was 700 in MA and 20 in DA. Not a strong point for your cause. Maybe you should check now. Bet it is close to the same ratio.

But again let me emphasize this one more time. Fly the way you enjoy the game. I do.

LOL How did I know that was coming.

Because it's obvious and well repeated soooooooooooooo much.

It's obvious to tell people who are "flying the way they enjoy the game" to go elsewhere if their version of enjoyment is different from yours?

  This here Get feller sure nuff contradicts himself a lot.

While these Rooks are giving each other high fives for their kills, the horde is giving each other high fives for taking un protected bases...
There's more than one tree blocking the view of the forest it seems.

   There always is.

Never said go there if your enjoyment is different from mine. What I did say is play the way you enjoy.

Just as much as telling someone they dont fight the way you like and should change.

Not really steve, I think my statement encompasses most aspects of the game. I'm leary of all and wholly. Well since grade school anyway. Rarely does marking "all" on a test lead to a correct answer. 


Again, It was an observation. I'm not putting anyone down here. Dispute my observation if you like. Prove to me I'm wrong. I honestly don't care about whether any one likes furballing over team strategy. Plenty of room for both in mho. No need to get defensive and try to play lawyer with sentence structure.
