I alerted a mission on 200 today....

[Lusche]

Not true lusche, once I spotted an NOE raid when I upped a set of lancs. When I saw them, I bailed, called them out, and upped an La-7. Only 3 people upped at the base, yet we killed all 11 aircraft within 3 mins.

I said "almost"... that means "there are exceptions"

But they are not the norm. I said 15+ players, which is not that uncommon when certain squads/generals are starting the roll. The usual horde NOE wins 8 or 9 out of ten. 1 or 2 times they get stopped, mostly because one or two lucky or clever defenders manage to get all the goons.

Also I notice you said "I bailed"... and that was one of my points. Most players are inflight at any given time, and I doubt many are willing to bail just to check out a flashing base or following the call to help a horded base.
I know I am not.

Big Jenny's done it now.

Really your going to judge a person by how they play a game.....then say thats what wrong with the world today....I giggled at that

The BBS is not a/the game.  I assume he is referring, not so much that you called out the mission in game, but that you came here to brag that you did it -- As is you deserve a reward for outstanding citizenship.  As I read the posts, I think you are not being judge by game play... you have been judged as a dickhole because of your attitude.

I bailed from a set of lancasters, when I was going to drop the VH's on a Vbase. The reason I bailed is that it was our only airbase for around 4 sectors, and all our CV's were around 5-6 sectors away (we couldn't just up an LVT while the hangers were still down)

11 would be a very mild NOE mission. I could care less if a squad wants to get together and roll some bases with 10-12 of their squaddies. Its fun working together for a common goal.
What gets me are those 20-30 missions that are just unnecessary. They want the NO opposition. They want their cake and eat it too. It is annoying because they are dictating their gameplay is fun and having no regard to the other guys fun. Yet when 1 guy against 20 busts their missions, the 3 star generals get all butt hurt and upset.
Funny thing is these guys love using these horde tactics, but are always upset when the tactic is used on them.

forget 11, my group has even had the nuts to go to take bases with 6 at the most sometimes.

took a base with 2 people once. Snuck an M4 and an M3 in during the middle of a massive furbal  .

First off, I like 10-12 player missions better too. I prefer not to post missions at all. OTOH, if there's lots of opposition, a big mission is necessary. It all depends on the situation.

That being said, what I don't get is how so many people here think an NOE horde against an empty base is ruining anyone's fun or ruining the game. If it's an empty, undefended base, then by definition there is no one there to have their fun ruined. So they're doing something you think is stupid. Why do you let what other people do bother you so much? So it's impossible to effectively defend the base. Well, you don't care about taking bases or winning the war anyway, so why does it bother you? Do you lose sleep at night because some people like country music and you only like jazz? Are you all knotted up inside because you root for the Yankees but there exist other people in the world who root for the Red Sox? Same for Junky - if he doesn't like NOE missions why can't he just ignore them and fly somewhere else? The MA is big and has lots of people and I guarantee you there are other people to fight who are not in an NOE horde mission. You can have all the fun you want without being a total bunghole to people who play differently.

If my squad is taking bases and trying to win the war, I don't care if you're somewhere else on the map ignoring the war and just looking for 1-1 fights. Have fun however you like. But don't tell me I'm ruining your fun by not playing the way you like. If that's what you think you're just a self-centered little brat who thinks the world ought to revolve around you and your preferences. Which is a pretty good description of JunkyII.

Everyone thinks Im all about 1v1s And that Im self-centered.....and little..... I called only this NOE mission out because there wasnt a single decent fight on the map, the one I was trying to make was atleast within a sector and a half. Crash thinks he knows me

You ruin my fun when you close down the hangars and I am forced to fly from a base in the back to come attack your horde.  Then, you capture the base and all land before I even get there and I am left with nothing.  My fun = ruined.  

Be quick boys, get those undefended bases and get your butts in the towers fast!!! Because you know what happens when The Muppets get to your bases before you have troops out.

Honor?

In a video game?

 

Noble thought, though.


I DO believe that Junky has a black belt in Kuh-Razy, though   

What is NOT fun about spoiling NOE Mishuns on undefended bases?
