when NOE missions don't go
well, no one is interested in fighting..  They cut and run and proceed to "steal" another base in some "safe" area of the map..

Ya, I see this happen too. Quite sissified.

Once again you post and prove that you are more interested in insulting people, squads and gameplay needlessly...these were your words from the last time you did this.  I would respond directly to your asinine post but it is so vitriolic and demeaning to this game that it doesn't deserve that attention.  In your opinion everything that hitech has developed and placed into this game = gay except for dogfiting which you define as high alt perch picking by your previous thread....good grief.  Maybe a break would benefit more then just you.


To elaborate a bit since I have a few minutes:

NOE=GAY




I like classy, beautiful, intelligent woman that say the "F" word a lot....

        Lol I don't have a problem with the squads mentioned except sometimes the seriousness that some of the players take this land grabbin. I was JOKING last night about a Stuka raid the knights were mounting on squad channel, that it would be funny to switch countries up DAS SCHWALBE and slaughter them for shi@s and giggles. Nearly instantly I got a message on country " JOIN US DON'T RAT US OUT" lol

            someday they may understand that getting repeatedly picked over tank town during some really good fights and complaining about it on 200 till corky yells at you is the way to play :)

The NOE horde doesn't stop you from upping to defend.

By their very nature, NOE missions are designed to ensure maximum surprise and minimum exposure.

I bet if the defenders had more than 10 seconds warning you'd see a heck of a lot more defenders.

Try coming in at 5,000 feet.  Youll get a fight pretty quick.

Only reason to go NOE is to avoid a fight.  That simple.

Then make it 40K feet.  Who cares?  If you show a dar bar, they will come.

If you objective is to avoid a fight, go NOE.  But don't sit here and pontificate about the failure of the defenders to up and fight when the first and only indication that their base is under attack is the stream of tracers passing the cockpit as they spool up their engine on the runway.

Or the air raid warning sirens that have been blaring since the attack hit the radar ring...  The biggest problem with this entire discussion is that nobody (both sides included) seems capable of discussing it honestly.  On one side, it's "If only they would try and defend."  When anyone with intellectual integrity knows that it is possible for an attack to be so large that it is impossible to defend against it.  Then on the other side is stuff like this about no warning until bullets are whizzing past the cockpit on the runway.  That isn't true either.

If anyone wanted to really advance the discussion, there would be more of an effort to honestly discuss it rather then simply throw around as many exagerations as possible to try and make a point.

PS - For the record, this isn't me taking a shot at you Saurdaukar.  At least not entirely.  More then anything, just pointing out that the discussion is idiotic and pointless because nothing will ever be solved as long as arguements packed full of hyperbole.

Take as many shots as you like.  My statement stands because its accurate.

Sirens and flashing bases can indicate many things.  Id estimate that 90% of the time, they indicate some dolt in a GV shooting at fighter hangers.

I'll pass on that exciting engagement.

I have to agree with you Dave.  There is a huge gap between those who enjoy the sport of dogfighting only, and those who enjoy dogfighting and all the other activities that Aces High have to offer.  The two will never come together.  For those who enjoy dogfighting only, there are not enough rules and organization, and for those who enjoy the total experience, there can never be enough chaos.  Mind you I do not condone massive horde NOE's, there is just no reason for it.  If I get a large group of Pigs together, you will see the DAR BAR coming.  Of course then we are alt monkey picker gag twit horders, which is a whole different complaint. :D

been on several of Thundereggs JUG missions, if you can't spot a dar bar 2 sectors from the front line and moving 3-4 sectors then theres nothing anyone can provide to help you find a big mission besides a PM saying here we come. Which has been done before only to see no one show up for that either.

While I'm on climb out and flying to the target I'm watching the map for large dar bars moving and bases away from the fight.
