It kills fights because some run from undefended base to undefended base. The minute they encounter resistance they abandon the current objective to move onto another undefended base. There is no fight too kill because some do not wish to fight, they would rather display their prowess against objects that don't move, and with the exception of auto ack doesn't shoot back.
Why do you care if some guy displays prowess against some object that doesnt move? Are you paying their subscriptions? What your really mad about is that they refused to give you an easy kill. The score tards want all of the noobs furballing so that they can have the glory of 1000's of kills. Maybe they can have the name in lights on the HTC web site. Then after some of those guys shoot down the noob, they PM him and trash talk him. No wonder some of those guys leave after their two week trial is over.
Who cares what they do? This is a fine example of the problem. Each person if he is a two week noob or a 2 year experienced player pays his monthly subscription to HTC to play this fun game the way they see fit. Some like to GV, some like to NOE base take. Some like to furball. Some simply enjoy defending airfields with Wirbles. The furballers complained about NOE raids so HTC gave in and changed that. Now I see from another thread that they want the bombers to be perked. Whats next?
Last time I checked this was a combat simulation. Not real. Some of these guys think it is real. Why don't people play there game the way they like to play it and not worry about what the other guys are doing. Even with NOE missions going on there are always plenty of furballs to get into. I dropped hangers in the middle of a furball awhile back and the local armchair general came on channel mad as heck about it. I told the armchair general that I didn't recall him paying my monthly subscription fees to HTC. When he starts paying them we can then discuss his complaint.
I love this game it is addicting. My wife doesn't like it at times. At the end of the day it is only a game. If you don't like NOE raids why don't you defend your bases against them? Most of the guys complaining are the score hounds who probably play with their flight suits on, and wear a fighter pilot jacket when its 100 degrees outside, and are still mad because the Air Force wouldn't accept them into flight school.
I do not really like to fly fighters. I enjoy attack planes,and attack missions, GV's and bombers. It is starting to look like the only acceptable way to play the game is to fly in the furball.
I have been playing for about one year. I always treat brand new guys with respect and teach them what I can about the game. I am really surprised at how some of the so called veterans (Term used for discussion purposes only. I am a veteran and have respect for other military veterans) treat these new players. There are some really good Bish squads who let these guys fly with them and teach them. There are others who kick them to the curb and kick them out of their missions. That certainly makes a guy feel welcome.
