AAR & sorrowful confession

[LYNX]

good work captain Lynx,    

thats the kind of Rambo watermelon i've done in the past, i'm done bothering anymore.  I don't think killing troops in a chute is gamey.  If 20 guys can't strafe one chute they deserve not to get the field.

we were doing a little defence of bop/joker hording on sunday and had a laugh trying to kill as many as we could before getting overwhelmed.  I don't look down on their play style though.  If they choose to group up and fly together in massive missions then that to them is TEAMWORK, regardless of how many people they actually defeat in the air or on the ground.  However silly it may seem to us,  that is FUN for them and to each their own.

I agree with your sentiments with regards teamwork, camaraderie, fun etc.  I to don't look down upon this style of play.  I even do stuff very similar.  I can appreciate a well planed and skilfully executed mission.  I am after all a strat player more so than a furballer.

What I'm disgruntled about is a couple disproportionate missions and the weak lilly livered posts in defence of this  eastern block mentality.  By posting this AAR I show 1 guy is just as effective as 20+ brainless hoardlings.  One guy made better uses of his resources than the blundehead mission builder that sent 20+ guys to a port.

Here's something for Dadsguns to think about the next time he post crap to the effect "Rooks should up to defend instead of worrying about their precious score".   I'm currently ranked 6 (not that it matters).  I'm consistently in the top 10 and further more I do up to defend.  So armed with these facts he needs to assess his flawed theory as posted in other threads. While your at it mate don't think squadrons of rooks in tower waiting to scramble to beat up your fearless NOE mission.  Think about how many are in the air doing other things and would have to bail to counter.

As much as I find it irritating to complement the Bish they did put on some cracking in ya face missions yesterday.  Not every single one was NOE or what I would deem disproportionate.  Well done on the reset although aided by the knights lack of interest in regaining their own territory.

great LYNX made me laugh,

I do have a question for ya, straight up, why? why? why?

do you dis-like the LA-7 so much? is it because you are such a hard core Brit? or just cant like something Russian?

I consider you one of the better sticks in game, and I know you are smart enough not to judge that plane by the typical stick that flies it,

 but that plane is awesome, you cant help but respect it, it does every thing well, and flown to its strengths is almost unbeatable. it will take another great stick in a great plane to kill it.

just wondering

hope you are doing well.

It is indeed a good plane when handled correctly but to many us it for ho'ing and gun n run.  I'm not intersted with being associated with such actions.

Yer...thanks man.  Nearly all better now.  Next thing ya know I'll be looking for work

I will say that you are one of the few that will even attempt to defend and usually you get shot down many times, its remarkable that you can maintain your rank as much as you die. Do share with us whats the secret.
With that said, there are exceptions, and you may be one of them and thats not for me to decide, but for you to choose to ignore that "theory" as you call it is entirely up to you.  Prior to getting the data that is available today many didnt think that people would do many things, yet we see more times than not they get caught doing some gamey stuff.   Jolly good show.

Now now Bruv, the Few has a ton of base captures and I have rolled with them on many of these on my days off in the a.m....they do NOT include air to air combat but usually involved sneaking a cv within range and shelling a town down and rolling in lvts before the enemy knew it was happening...then a few f4uc's off the deck to finish...so lets not all get on our high horses about using base captures as an opportunity for a fair fight...its a bit off isn't it?????  

The other point to mention is these captures were early a.m. when the arenas are fairly unpopulated...so I'm not convinced that 5-6 folks on one base in the early a.m. is much different then 20 on a base in a densely populated arena....  Or maybe its just milkrunning to keep those pesky bomber/gv ranks high...dunno which...I never cared before...don't now. but it is your squad's idea of FUN even if I think it is a bit silly right???

No disrespect meant to your squad, but since you have a label (hording) for mine, I thought it was just to point out the ironies of your comment and the fact that your squad is viewed as a fiter squad despite 20+ captures...more than my wing anyway...

as I said on private.  The only time we are taking fields is when we are bored or can't find anything better to do.  The timezones which we cannot do anything about present us with less furballs to go play in, so we will try and start one by either taking a field or a couple of fields to chance a better furball.

I can only go by who I killed in the hopeless defence of said fields on Sunday, if it wasn't your whole squad and just one member in a Joker mission then that is a bad call.  This game has far too many players assuming things already.  If you had combined your resources to throw it all in one place like I said in my first post that is teamwork.  I couldn't care less if you take the field half the fun is preventing you guys from getting it.

as far as being associated with the actions of others, I fly the Hurri2C and anyone who is anyone, knows I don't fly it the typical way (HO everything) same with the LA.

 I know I would not associate you with the actions of others, and if someone does then you don't need there respect, and they don't deserve yours.


I wish you well.

[caldera]

I always thought that was the goal...

It might be some people's goal, but hordes don't seem to want any obstacles (fights) in their way to prevent the base take. When resistance is encountered, the attack fizzles and maybe regroups for a second giant wave. Usually it ends up at another desolate spot on the map. That's why there are often huge hordes attacking empty bases while enemy hordes attack your empty bases.    Always being a knight, I thought it was mostly the bish that do this stuff. That's not the case at all. Knights are as guilty (if you can call it that, depends on your perspective) as the rest. Nothing wrong with taking bases. Smashing all opposition (by flattening hangars) to prevent a fight is pretty lame. Many seem to disagree. Those are the ones that circle the de-acked base in droves, just hoping to pile on someone that has almost no chance. If nobody ups, your 20 minute sortie ends with no vulches, bounces or picks. Same with a dozen or more of your mission pals. But you got the base.

sorry but you earned it



dankes grizz for the pic

I did almost exactly the same thing to base taken by a Dredger mission (used an m3 i ran off the side of the base and hid while the last troops ran in...then watched another noe launch out of the newly captured base and called it out on country ch...then a squaddie ran a fiter over and deacked the freshly captured base (an island)...and i dropped troops and got it back...was awesome!!)...

Oh wait a minute Dredger is your squad mate isn't he Lynx???  You know the "rook mass mission leader" who flew constant noe's with 110s and nikis and mass goons???  He was a leader in that squad "The Blind Bats".  Not sure if he was the C.O. or you were??? Maybe you could clear that up for me???

In fact, it got to the point that whenever Dredger was on we knew there would be an 30+ plane noe and would be looking for it...they were called "Dredger missions" on country ch when spotted...(we are not the most creative country that way)

Crap...didn't mean to insinuate you're a hypocrite...my bad...I will assume you were screaming bloody murder at your squadmates about how their gameplay was detrimental to overall game play and promptly disbanded your squad or left it...

or maybe it's only detrimental to gameplay when the Bish do it....

Keep up with the chest thumping posts they rock

<S> Pot from Kettle!!!

P.S.  I am glad the bish are made of better metal...yes we up to defend noe's and missions instead of beggin folks not to run them against us...MAYBE thats why folks don't use them against as much anymore....wierd thought there....

To answere a question and help you pull your head out ya behind I'll clear a few things up.  Dredger is the CO / squad leader.  I'm just a squadie.  Personally the only missions I regularly get involved with are squad missions.   By that I mean just squad members.  I've be known to create / lead a few myself.  Did join a Dredger country mission once about 2 years ago.  It confirmed why I don't like country mission.  Boring, uneventful and far to easy.  I will get involved and have instigated a few country rolls.

Now for the laxative to easy your mind out of the dark crevice you've put it in.  I'm not opposed to well planed missions.  Even NOE mission are acceptable in my mind but disproportionate missions as posted by thundreggs over this weekend are pathetic and detrimental to game play.  Read my reply to Bruv .....save me doing the copy paste.

   Your calling someone Pathetic?

You and every NOE hater has tried every tact to criminalize NOE's, here a few: HORDES are bad for the game, afraid to fight, teaching newbs the wrong way, taking undefended bases, blah blah blah blah, now you turds are trying to use the "disproportionate missions theme"  That's Pathetic..... 

Whats it gonna be next week?

 

[Bruv119]

The only way to settle this is to get the

Bops and the blind bats signed up to the squad dueling league.  Rules are laid out and you can have some friendly beer in the tower afterwards. 

[StokesAk]

This is all i ahve to say.

[Dadsguns]

And what is it your trying to say, that only the bish do that..... All three sides do.  And people participate in them from all three sides.  I would be willing to bet that pic came from one of the last bases from this weekend.

[StokesAk]

I have been rook for a month.....No NOE Missons with more than 5 people. BTW That is only bout 1/2 of the horde, one of them is bout D600 from me opening up on my helpless P38 on the runway.

[SoonerMP]

Stokes, I know you have flown many..many noe missions as a bish so dont even go there.

Second, Lynx, ThndrEgg puts together some fantastic Jug runs that are high alt plus many bombing runs and not just noe smash and grabs. Plus he is one of the nicest guys that plays this game. If you want to call some one a "detriment" to the game dont forget to throw yourself in there due to you constant chest pounding and "Holier than thou" attitude .

[StokesAk]

Hehhehehe i like to piss the misson leaders off. Pop way early. And of course fly at 201 feet.
