Not so fast my friend...This was tonight....yes..those are 3 1/2 darbar of rooks rolling 141...but WAIT a doggone minute!!! Is that Bish pilots rolling out of 141 and defending against gv and air assault????? I TRIEd to stop them...I tried to tell them it wasn't fun ( i told them Fuge would roll his eyes at them)....but they insisted on defending against enormous odds!!!!! Its too bad our dar wasn't working so you could see how many rook planes were in the air...
INstead those crazy bish fought back...killed the troops at the vbase...sent 5-6 guys to drop ord/fhs at the nearest rook airbase...and watched the rook darbar dwindle to nothing.....the Bish also took the southern vbase about an hour later...
The ONLY difference between this screenie and the one originally posted was that there were 3 times as many rooks attacking a small field (gvs dont add to the radar so there were probably more) AND GHI called it out and the bish responded by upping to meet the attack in force...BTW the rooks did drop fhs but those crazy bish kept upping anyway...
LUCKILY... Nex/StokesAK was on the rooks side and I tried to contact him via ch 200 to encourage him to post a screenshot. For some reason (probably racking up those 152 kills at 5k) he didn't respond....
Not going to argue with you about horde any more Falc. You either don't read what I type, or have a problem understanding what I type.
I AGREE WITH YOU that it happens on all countries. I try very hard not to single out a squad or even a country when I talk about hordes. I do find it VERY funny that you defend hordes so valiantly.
Nothing good comes from a horde. They promote poor game play. Fights are gone because it is now a gang fest after the few defenders. This also promotes more HO's because you have to get your shot in before your 7 other squad mates get theirs in on the one guy they are chasing. Which also promote vulching because they can't shoot as fast as the 7 guys chasing the one defender so they go after slower less maneuverable target wattling down the runway.
As for getting a few guy together to defend against it.... ya that sounds like fun too. You said 4-5 guy went up and pork bases. Yup love killing none moving buildings...lots of fun there. I'll bet most of those guy lawn darted the targets as well because heck the target was hit, need to up and hit another to win the war. Again, doing away with fighting.
The horde avoids fighting, I look for fighting. I don't want to watch the map, find a big dar bar building , anticipate where they are going to hit, climb to a bizzlion feet in a Temp or Ta152, find said horde make a few passes killing 0-8 of the horde (less than 10% of the resources of a group that has 400% the resources it needs to take the SINGLE base they are hitting) to either RTB of die in the attempt. No fight what so ever in that senario. If I thought climbing for half an hour or making BnZ to fire on sitting ducks fun I'd be flying that stupid Microsoft flight sim crap!
HTC has said he believes that hordes are bad for the game. Someday it will again come to a head (last time we got split arenas) and he will make a change again. Running huge mission doesn't mean you have to run in a horde. Its up to those who like to run big missions to set them up so they don't become hordes. You "commanders" have a chance to fix it, or we can wait and HTC WILL fix it.
