If you paid attention, he's saying to pound the nearby large and medium fields into rubble, thus isolating your target base. Which then trying to take it will NOT be doomed to failure, because the enemy will be unable to mount a strong counter attack from those surrounding fields.
If
you paid attention, you might have noticed that I said yes, you can do that, but it takes three or four times as many buff pilots because you're levelling three or four times as many bases.
But that's really beside the point. Either way the furball is going to have to move someplace else if the base take succeeds.
On maps that do have a sort of "furball area" aka "fighter town" the first thing the dirt farmers do is kill that area so that the furballers will disperse and join one of there base takes. This happens all the time. If you deny it, your too new to the game to know better.
I have never buffed a base at fighter town, nor have I ever seen members of my squad do so. Whether other people do it or not, I can't say, so you must be right. But our squad can't help what others do.
To commenters who say "will defend the base better"...ummmm the furball is usually below 10k. The tools come in at 20k in b26's, nose down to 300mph and make there attack. THERE IS NO WAY you can stop them if everyone is furballing. Besides it wont matter.
I have never bombed above 16k that I can recall, though I can't swear I've
never done it. SOP for our squad's raids is anywhere from 10k to 15k (7-8k if bombing a CV) in Lancs going 160 IAS straight and level.
You can tell the people you're talking about because they can't hit a darned thing, including fighters parked on their 6.
and BTW.....killing FH to take the base is a waste of time.
I won't lecture you on how to furball, don't try to lecture me or my squad on how to take a base or bomb.
The one thing I see consistently is a total disrespect to players who just want to furball.
I think there's a lot of disrespect going both ways as evidenced by the tone of this thread. I at least restrict my ranting and name-calling to squad vox.
Seems if your not trying to win the war you should just "go to the DA".
Negative. If you don't want to be offended by other players around you aiming to capture fields and win the war go to the DA. Can you see the difference?
And another thing. NoNE OF YOU dirt farmers could take jack poop without us furballers to cap the base for you. When the last time a bunch of fun police took anything.
Umm... last night? Or give me 10 minutes after I post this...
I personally dont like giant furballs.
I agree, they're just too random, and the local odds can swing back and forth to extremes very quickly. Sure, there are a few pilots who can truly master that environment, but not many, probably not 10%, maybe not even 5%. I frequently see some folks in this forum (Steve) berating others for not being able to, or
trying to, match the skills of the top 0.5% of the fighter ranks. I think that's a little unrealistic. Most people in this game will never be able to handle 6 or 8 opponents at once who have the slightest idea what they're doing no matter how long they fly or how much they train, unless they're cruising 5k above them anyway. Learning to face even odds or say 2-1 or 3-2 and survive is a more realistic expectation.
(And of course, it stands to reason that half the pilots in the game are going to be below average.)
Base takes never result in a furball because everyone lands and poof no fight anymore
Oh, come on - tons of them result in a furball before the base gets taken, and a lot of 'em go on after that when the defender tries to retake it.
Using one squad, out of an enormous player base is, by no means a way to present a true representation of the entire spectrum of game-play.
Understood, but I am using my squad's behavior because there have been a lot of insults swung specifically at us and our CO in this thread (not by you). I can't help what some mythical and anonymous squad or players might do, but I can tell what my squad does and doesn't do.
Your full of crap guy. Your sqaud is always the first to be trying to take the the fighter hangars at any base.
You don't read too great, do ya, son?
gosh im rantingthis is retarded because you cant win a fight with ignorance
You are certainly correct there: you will never win a fight by employing ignorance.
You might also find you're more persuasive if you forego the fit-throwing and name-calling. It's just human nature that when you act that way people will only want to annoy you more.
Are people here so immature that they cannot express themselves without engaging in name calling???
That appears to be the case.
And I think that's the last word I have to say on this topic.
