So many targets, so little ammo(horde sighting)

[JunkyII]

Anyone wanna play fighter game? its a horde mission but starts a great fight ask any POTW member

 I mean FFS  1 VH and 8 acks and some clever skillfull bish sent 20+ guys onto it......that's ------> disproportionate and totally eastern block

Usually only takes me alone top take a port.  But i usually get 3 guys 1.) de-acker 2.) someone to take down VH or hold eggs for any GV's  3.) goon



If it honestly takes 20+ guys to take a port, then WOW.  Same goes for a V-base.

As for these comments about upping to defend.   This isn't Keith Parks sat in fighter command waiting to launch squadrons of fighters to the dar contacts from northern France.  It's akin to requiring "X" amount of players to bail their rides and forget what ever it was they were doing to intercept the inb mission.  Maybe you Bish do that on mass    but I've yet to see it here.

I'll clarify again I'm not opposed to capture or mission but 20+ guys on a port.....come on lads.  Its not big and its not clever.....shame on you. 

I for one am not gonna bail out to defend against a horde that already has #s, alt, and E advantage.  Sure, if I see a dar bar/mission heading to a base while I'm in the tower I'll either up an Ostie or some quick climbr (usually K4) to defend, but I'm not gonna bail from a flight that I'm in (because usually I'm going to where the fight is)

Best way to disturb the attacking force is to launch a mission from other field ,and place yourself in the attacking stream with alt and bounce them from above ,
In worst case you make the bad guys chase you to away from the intended target.

Ive noticed a wellflown 4+plane missions really disrupt an ongoing attack with 15 planes.
If you can have just one guy to kill attacking fields radar things are even easier. Then you can attack / vulch / pick the attackers at will.

Since acks / wirbies are so effective together with the normal attrition, the attack soon die.

If I bring 3+ other planes with me, I have to share.

I love b/zing against hordes like that

Ditto to all the above.

Hey Lynx,

Dis`pro*por"tion*ate\, a. Not proportioned; unsymmetrical; unsuitable to something else in bulk, form, value, or extent; out of proportion; inadequate; as, in a perfect body none of the limbs are disproportionate; it is wisdom not to undertake a work disproportionate means.

The fact of the matter is that it really doesn't matter if it's 3 or 30 going as a group or alone it's about having fun, which is the point.And Thundregg does some FUN missions, which keeps the game worth playing. Which, again was my point. Lynx stick to choking on Furballs ya big PUSSIcat and enjoy the game no matter how you think it should be played. And if your bad bellybutton enough to take a base with a goon strapped to a heavy 51 and a .45 then all the power to ya! It's all about having a good time whether it be DISPROPORTIONATE or NOT, it's a game how ya play it is open to interpretation............... ..............

So your saying its ok to horde and overwhelm a VB with 20+ guys and the heck with anyone on the opposing team as long as YOUR having fun? Thats the point we try to make with you thickheads. If you attack two bases with the same 20+ guys you create two fronts and two places to defend for the apposing players. With numbers not so over whelming you may see more defence, there by creating more FUN for MORE people. The idea in a game is for EVERYONE to have fun.

damn, only if I had my d9 there and then!

A thread whining about a Hurri1 mission.....wow.

A thread whining about a Hurri1 mission.....wow.

I started this thread... where do you see me whining about hurris? Exactly one of the planes I encounterd was a hurri.  I don't recall whining about anything in this thread.

[USRanger]

Pardon my not being more specific.  The conversation did turn to that though by some posters.

Sorry, I misunderstood... you weren't directing it at me... I get it now.  :

easiest way to clean out almost any in bound horde mission is to call any available Muppets into the fight.

i would say its a safe bet to estimate an over 80% success rate at turning around a fight and sticking it up the arses of the invaders.

i dont say this as a promote the Muppets thing, so lets not be ignorant and turn this into a Muppet leg humping thread, i say this because almost every fight we have we start as the defenders. once we have broken the spine of the inbound attackers we go on the offensive and push them back to their base where by then we are normally joined by the hordling base takers joining in because thereal fighting is over and now they can vulch and strat to their hearts content. this is the point when we will normally egress and search out a new fight, or even funnier we switch countries and punch the late coming hordlings in the pooper and driving them back to the original base we started out defending. these make for the funnest fights and the longest lasting.

so i say bring on your hordes, check the roster and see where the Muppets are flying and then be brave and announce your mission to us. if you are really brave you can always make it a personal challenge on 200, i dont really see us turning you down.

you say you wanna fight not just to take undefended bases, well then i say prove it and give forewarning and advanced notice of your intentions on 200 and then give the defenders enough time to get in the air and gain some alt to meet you. telling them after you have already put down the ack and the hangers is just as lame as mounting a 50 man noe mission against an undefended vb.

so in summation if you really wanna fight then announce it and if you see Muppets on challenge us to dispute your invasion, otherwise take your hollow victory over that vb for what it really is and dont brag about it cause you just sound like a dweeb to the rest of us that play the game for the purpose of engaging others in combat.
