Are the days of the NOE 110 raid over?

[froger]

I'd actually like to see some variety in the mission format, seems like every mission that's posted as the same aircraft in it over and over again (this coming from a die-hard 38/39 pile-it I know, I know).  If someone posted a mission with some actual historical matches, or dare I say some mid or early war birds I would probably join them from time to time.  If you're going to go NOE why not grab B-25C's with the strafer/gun packages and post some P-38G's, P-40E's, or P-39D/Q's for escort?   Get something going with a little flair or historical feel.  

+1

some of the best fun i have ever had in the game was Thunder egg bomber missions w/ escort (historically accurate):!!
  the Betty boop Stuka raids and P 40b / C202 sweeps.
  I was on a CV once and it was sunk by a hoard of SBDs ....that was fun to watch.
I would love to see more people have fun with a variety of planes (in the MA). 

I'M just sayin.......

it seems like 40+ people enjoy the game to the 1 person who doesn't.
majority rules?

anyway, i would rather fight players than shoot at buildings and auto guns any day, but that's just my $15.

I have always had much respect for the 68's and have gladly fought alongside of them mutiple times, but I admit that you are new to me.  So I will take it easy on ya.  It is not about my way of playing.  It is about what causes this game to thrive and what drives people away.  Simply put, if there is no combat, there is no fun.  40+ pilots smashing down town and hangars in just a few minutes leaves no room for combat.  It is avoidance of engagement with unfriendly cons that irks me.  By all means Sir play your way, but I do not see the behaviors you are defending as part of the normal activities of the 68th.  Just questioning where you are coming from here Zoom.

Why don't you take your whinny, oinkie little piggies and up and fight the hords? Or better yet if you don't like the game quit. BTW just how old are you you sound like a little sissy girl.
Glad I don't have to listen to that oink cra*

Yeah I know rule # something.

Ok but most of the majority of that NOE mission will get tired of playing and quit within a year

We actually stick away from the hordes starting our own fights by flying to bases and calling people out on 200...and Ill see you within the next couple months

We ran across a rather interesting NOE the other night. Batched tends to sit in the tower and watch things a lot and he noticed a coastal base flashing two or three "lines" back from the nearest Knight field and we had ownership of their CV. Xtrepid rolled an AA vehicle and I upped my Il-2 (my main ride) to see what was going on. Out in the distance "C-47" pops up. Xtrepid starts to laugh and comment on what noobs they must be running a goon to a full-up town; upon getting within draw distance, I discovered the town was down. I killed four or five of the troops and the goon, rather dumbfounded. Just as I was landing, the base started flashing again. Xtrepid disco'd and batched took off; two more goons running down the coast.

Batched had been staring at that map for who knows how long and that base hadn't been flashing. That was WEIRD.

I'd love to run into an NOE raid with a D9, it almost never happen =/

[grizz441]

its funny how you cry NOE, its no surprise mission, once you break the dar bar everything starts flashing anyway, So whats your problem?? not knowing how many are attacking your base

How long does it take to get from the edge of dar to the town?  Maybe 2 minutes?  Do you think there are 20 pilots just sitting in the tower studying the map like experten map readers waiting for something to start flashing so they can roll to stomp the potential NOE mission?  Or perhaps you think someone will scream on country channel "NOE RAID Axx!!!" and then 20 allies will just bail from their aircraft no questions asked to up at this base?  Sometimes blind luck will give enough allies the chance to roll in time, most times not.  It's all good though, whenever I see 20 plane NOE horde missions taking bases I try to go in there in time killing and taking names.  Incessant mocking of these skilless pilots that STILL died will usually ensue.

These posts from the no NOE people are lame. NOEs are part of the game. I don't think they should go any where. They are fun to fly in and fun to bust up. If you don't like them don't fly in em. I don't understand why you care if they take a undefended base most of you seem to want to furball only so it really shouldn't matter to you what they do. The key point though I want to get across what you find fun may differ from what others find fun. That's one great thing about being human we are all different.
