do a proper mission with a combined force of bombers / fighter cap and GV's and you won't fail.  Hopefully you will have uppers and defeat them accordingly.

the amount of failed NOE's is mostly to blame on the mission planners lack of skill and the pilots that follow them.   All it needs is ONE guy to get up in a fighter when the base starts flashing and they are done.

Is the WAR really that important that fields have to be taken with 20+ guys all on the deck so that the enemy has no chance to defend whatsoever??  and you find yourself complaining about getting opposition in a MULTIPLAYER online game.  

As far as i'm concerned it cancels out lame dweeby crap with lame dweeby crap.  I dont support either.

To take a field you just need a good group of guys who know what they are doing and time it like clockwork.

Lotsa garbage on 200 because a NOE got busted in orange. Funny thing is that there were a good 50 planes in that mission that were basicly slaughtered. It went on and on how some ppl are "cheats" and "unsportsmanlike" to bust up the mission. :noid.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to take bases. It brings a competetive edge to the game. There is nothing wrong with flying NOE. There is nothing wrong with flying with 20+ guys. BUT..when your 20+ guys want to take a base flying NOE, LAME. Hats off to the guys that thwart those kinds of actions.

This all started with me saying to another player in the area over 200 that there was 2, then 3, then 4 sets of b24's lifting from a7 and he should hurry and ram em to get a few more kills (meant jokingly because in my previous sortie he had gotten a lucky collision that ended with my tail being lost).

The person in question is not my shade nor am I his. Tmacc no matter how much you would like to prove that, you cant. People for years have been screaming shade at me and TB because our ID's are so similar but its hard to run a shade when the accounts IP's are located in different states.

Tonight is no different, just some over active people with hot heads. Yea i got sick of ENY and switched to rook with Larry and we upped a couple sorties and then logged for the night.

If theres any more accusations id love to hear them but theres nothing to prove or disprove so bring it on.

The combination of certain maps / base ownerships and certain landgrab squads often makes predicting NOEs quite easy.

If you play for some time, you will identify some patterns. Once the enemy has started to get one or two bases, I check the roster to see which enemy squads and leaders are online, take a look at the map and start to guesstimate.

Some squads started to alternate their attacks between both enemy countries to prevent this, giving me more time to make another pot of tea  :)

Based on what you have written in your Sig, you should be happy folks were there to meet you.  You want a fight right?

I hope sometimes HTC will do something to prevent this. For example, if there are more than 5/10/15/other_number planes close enough to each other, they are shown on radar regardless of alt (bar included).

So someone announced the presence of your horde and made sure that you'd see combat, and you complain? :rolleyes:

Switching countries to even the fight or escape ENY is OK in my book.  Where it's not OK and some what low is using info to sink Cv's or rack up the kills.  Especially if the guy is better than 90% he's facing.

It's like putting bread on the lawn and blasting a sparrow with both barrels of a shot gun.....real skillful like.

Bruv pretty much nailed it.  Many squads and people pride themselves on teamwork*, but very few pull it off. 

*Note* "Teamwork" does not mean yelling at random people to do what you tell them.  "Teamwork" means assembling a group of like-minded players, and each of them voluntarily saying, "This is what we want to do, and this is how we're going to do it," and then executing.

  Some of the most fun I've had is the MOM missions where they knew we were coming! Maybe if some would fly missions at a good altitude instead of being helpless on the deck with an NOE more success would be had as the enemy tried to achieve your altitude. Imagine if we tried to bomb Germany at 500 ft.  :O

No it wasn't a horde we were otw to drop a base not wanting much resistances the Twintail announced on 200 where we were then switched sides and upped at that base.

On the aspect of switching sides.

Yes some people do switch sides to spy or something for thier score sadly. But in general people dont switch sides for this, they juust do it so they donw have to fly as far to get shot down in thier cartoon plane.

Remember its just a game if some people want to waste thier time and money on something frowned upon then let them it not youir fault they do it. i  would just think "Well better luck next time".
