People that play this game soley for the base taking aspect of it are like fat guys in speedos, they think they are sexy doing it, but fail to realize that everyone around them is laughing their ***** off. There is absolutley nothing wrong with taking bases. The squad and I like to join in sometimes to take some real estate or help some green guys take down a town when were in "fighter mode", but having that as a full time job gets boring real fast.
I can understand how rolling the map can give the new guys a sense of accomplishment, heck they are "WINNING THE WAR" for their countrymates. They organize missions to undefended targets in which one of two scenarios is always bound to happen 1) the 20 man mission gets a base with absolutley no or very little opposition, and they take the base 2) their little horde goes bust and the feild gets too hot with opposition so they start playing "wack a mole" (they being the mole) and hit bases around the map that are non defended. These are the same guys that claim that its fun because they are using tactics and "organizing" with others to play a team oriented strategy. Fact is..ITS GAMEY!!!, Think of it as if EVERYONE played the same game, how boring it would be and how POd you would be if everyone snuck around trying to roll a map.
Learning dynamics of what your flying and what your enemy is flying is a whole new aspect of the game that takes years to master, and thats the addiction that keeps most to log back in. Ive been playing for about 4 years now and just two years ago fell in love with the dogfighting aspect of this game. Im still horrible, but each and every sortie am learning something new so Im stickin with it.
