You know, it's funny.  If you had asked me a month ago I would've flat out said "No, all the countries are the same," but recently I have noticed subtle differences in countries.  Now I don't know if it's just what individual sticks or squads have settled on each team, but I definitely notice that when fighting rooks, they routinely come in at 15k (not all of them, but a good number).  I'm not saying every rook is a runner, but it seems that when you get some to blow their E, they tend to dive away.  




15k is the height of our upper parapet Runways in our Castles ... 25k is normal Rook cruising Alt .  :D

No matter how high you are there will always be a Rook P51 5K higher than you. (Old bish saying)

I will had that if you come co alt it will always dive straight to the deck.

That also discribes 99.9% Bish P51's.

BTW, I tend to dismiss any voiced opinions about that matter by players being proud of sticking to their home chesspiece from start.
If you never left rooks, chances are good your statements about knight & bish are just biased crap   :P

I switch sides on an almost daily basis, and in the end every side is the same. You have your good sticks, and you have your dweebs, runners, alt-monkeys etc. I mostly fly Mid-War mostly but I find it hard that this is any different in LW.

P.S. Oh, yes, I am a spy and I'm reporting all your CV locations! :uhoh

As far back as I can recall it's been like this. 

Rooks kill the most, die the least. 

Bish die the most, kill the least. 

Knits in the middle.

I find it fascinating that every tour is like that, and has been for years upon years.

Why is that I wonder? 

I agree that all three countries are "in general" the same, but there are obviously some differences. 

They have to be some diff. between them otherwise it wouldn't ALWAYS be...
Rooks kill the most, die the least.
Bish die the most, kill the least.
Knits in the middle.

If they were all the same that would switch around.

All sides are more the same than different.

I've posted it before but there are rules to be an arm chair general.

1. YOU MUST USE CAPS FOR EVERYTHING ON CHANNEL 2!

2. You must alternate between exclamation marks (!) and one digits (1) at the end of every sentence!!!!111!!!

3. You must forego the use of the S keyz and use Z keyz instead.

4. You must repeat everything twice.

4. You must repeat everything twice.

5. You must know that any difficulty can be solved by adding another 30 guys to your NOE mission. Continue to use caps to announce your mission on channel 2 until you get the number needed.

Did I miss anything?

Said armchair general must assign all members of squad A (that he anklehumps) to hangers and after all members of that squad drop only one hanger is down (at least 3 dropping on vh).

I know that many people think of countries differently. Is this true? For example the Rooks as Alt potatos and the Bishops taking alot of bases and the Knights that cant seem to win the war?

Is the grass really greener on the other side?

I think u just nailed it, Well thats what i think about the countrys anyway  :)
