Are you gents really arguing seriously about who takes this the least seriously?

No, I don't take this thread seriously enough to be the less serious one.

You can't blame those that are organized.

The board has been full of 'hording' 'ganging' and other 'unfair' undesireable game play gripes for a while now. While many expect HTC to change some parameter that will fix it, I think the real problem is that Kaos is being turned into order by squads. Squads take bases quickly, and cover each other's sixes, and drag and bag opponents. The response to this has been for more folks to form and join squads.  Next time you check the roster, sort by squad and you will see that most of the folks in the arena are in a squad.

The order and coordination a [good] squad provides is very difficult for a single player, or group of un-coordinated players to overcome.

To me, and I've only been playing about a year and a half, the game is evolving into squad vs Squad and the single players are having more and more of a rough go. When I fly with my squaddies, kill ratio is 2:1 or 3:1.   When I fly around by myself it's more like 1:1.  [note to self....Fly around with Squad more]

I think some squads are just better at...well...being a squad than others.

A few things to remember about "The Few," from my limited but painful experience:

You will rarely if ever come across just one of them - they are pack hunters and do not believe in the 'nobility' of a 1v1 fight (if there is such a thing as 'nobility' in a cartoon airplane fight), with very little exception. The kill is of paramount importance, and all of what is needed to make that happen is employed (with the notable exception of the HO shot, you will almost never see a member of this group use that tactic   ). Don't like to be picked or ganged by as many as 5 or 6 to 1? Stay away. There is no such thing as a 1v1. Not gonna get it. It's a feast and you are are the main course, and the meal is for the whole pack to see who can get it first. Individually, if you can EVER get that rare chance, many/most of them will run to ack or friends as soon as you equalize the fight and they lose advantage. The "A Grade" will have a go at you alone, though I've rarely ever actually caught one alone except for today, when one ran after 3 turns. Oh well, he did have 7 kills in that Tempest at that point. I can hardly blame him. Twice before I have caught one of them in a 1v1 and ended up on the losing end both times, but they were great fights. I extend another   to those two guys once again... they are the few among The Few who don't need more than one of The Few to get the job done.

A great fighter score is achieved by taking few chances. Capping a field and vulching those dumb enough to fight back is a great way to improve your k/d. The Few are vulchers of the highest order. No shame there. It is what it is.

Me I'd rather die fighting than live and run, but I understand when you have an image to upold and score is of the utmost importance, you do things a certain way for a reason.

  to you guys for the part you play in this game. What that part is is up to you.  

edit: This is not meant as any disrespect, just a harsh reality check for those among the AH cartoon ranks who haven't been quickly towered by this group - yet. They are without mercy and don't care about what you think is fair in a fight. Are they better than you? 99% of the time yes. Does that mean you're not gonna get dog-piled by the whole pack? Heck no.

Live with it an beware.

I cant' even imagine the "SCARS" you will have after saying that about The Few, no matter what squad...there are "alliances" if you will, between squads and friendships....you put your opinion out there like that and surely be ready for some critique. I pity you

Well Said +1   You stand a better chance with a few trusted souls watching your back.. Some of those squads are just plain good at what they do.. I have had the pleasure of watching a few of Grizz's films , and I must say that those guys are tuned in very well. I am sure that The Few are the same way. If I run across those guys, I will surely die, but still enjoying the game..  I can only hope to get that good.. Still trying..

Dear sir,
 I imagine you would be mistaken if you thought Reap lost any sleep over anything he said here or anything anyone said back to him

Ok, i'm a little late to the party, and pretty much skimmed the entire thread. However from my uber powers of deduction i believe some people may not like us guys the few.
