you're not lookin at it in the context of a game. this isnt real war. in real war those plains were out of commision in game the fill the base up with gvs. good luck taking a base like that. im yet to see it happen other than in the case of a very good sneak.

The real problem is not groups who take down hangers to facilitate a capture.

What the point of the thread is about is the very few 'griefers' who see a big furball and intentionaly take the FHs out just to spite the furballers. Usualy this is caused by jealousy from the 'griefer', that they themself get slaughtered in a furball every time.

So it's not a complaint about tollshedding, not about winning the war even, it is a complaint about the very small minority of people who just want to stop others from having fun that they cannot be a part of in the normal fashion.

I wasn't aware such people existed.

I'm not sure such people exist now that I've read your post.

Who are these a-holes? Can you provide an example?

I mean, I don't doubt someone would be spiteful enough to do such a thing but, first, it's not going to stop furballing - indeed, not even briefly, second, it's a lot of trouble to go to just for a cheap grim. My bombing skills are such that I could easily see missing a bomber hangar and accidentally knocking out the FH - hell, I could see going for just about anything on the base and accidentally hitting the FH.

I feel lucky when my ords hit the ground.

Yeah, I don't think it's greifers doing it.  It's a combination of indifference and strategic ignorance.  

'I'll go help my side by blowing up the other sides stuff'.  Simple as that really, most guys think they are helping.  Like I said in my first post, no one knows wth they are doing in this game so trying to over analyze anything is a waste of time!  :aok

Please not, the above post by myself was not my opinion, nor my complaint. I am perfectly happy with how the game is played by all. I like the variety. It is simply my observation about what the true complaint of this thread was about.

Obviously I was wrong in my observations anyhow!  :)

I'm getting a whiff of implication -or maybe not - but I've got to clear my six. It was never me, most assuredly. I don't bomb very often, and when I do, I don't take much of anything down.

They do. Like I said, I've had someone say "I'm taking down the FH's because this furball is a waste of resources.

LTOWN was complaining a lot again about stupid players wasting resources last night (like he usually is)

Last time I checked, planes fuel and ammunition were still free & unlimited...

When I started the game all  I liked flying was bombers, but as I progressed in learning I grew out of it. Now I enjoy busting caps, having to turn as soon as I get off the RW, etc. I also remember flying a 234 screaming down our runway as the enemy had our base capped with fighters. I hit my RATOs before I got to the base and had 10 or 12 fighters on my six trying to chase me. Then friendlies upped and the cap was broken. I felt good and had fun contributing to the furball.

Is LCLOWN one of those LTARD guys that people speak of occasionally?

Nope, wasn't trying to imply anything about you or anyone.
 Was just explaining that my first post, the one you quoted and discussed, was not my opinion of the game, but my observation of the vocation of this thread in answer to your comments under my quote. If that's not a confusing sentance im not sure what is, hehe.

the 'Obviously I was wrong in my observations' part was relating to Grizz' post just after mine and yours.
