Creating "havoc"?? :rofl

The new dar has made defending against the noe much more difficult because now they come in hordes. They feel they have to.

For the most part, a few guys could up and successfully defend against most NOEs.


Not any more.

Yeah, havoc, oh well  :rolleyes:

The thing I'm trying to get at is, yes they can horde, but the other side has a chance to see it coming and up in defense.

They had a chance to see it coming before.

They would choose to ignore it, then complain about it.

They still do.

We see it earlier now, anyway, last dying argument.

You could put a ad on the BBs 2 days prior to the NOE and launch the Macys Day Parade at a base and STILL it would be for the most part ignored.

And the same old crowd would STILL be complaining about a horde taking an "undefended" base.

WRONG!!

Squaddies and I spent many nights devoted to looking to squash NOE hordes. Even with the prior setup of towns and radar change these guys used to do whatever they could to not try to attract attention. True very very fun for the NOE crowd and I understand and respect players that reseting the map is their game. Rememeber that there is a huge crowd here that log on that could care less about the state of the map and just like killing red things.

When the red things decide that they want to take a huge force somewhere and fly around undetected, remember that you are taking away from THEIR game too. Gameplay now is dictated by these armchair generals who have an uncanny ability to herd sheep to anywhere they wanna go and to the guys ( who believe it or not are a huge % in playerbase) that dont have big squads and dont have the time to devote to winning the war who just log on for a few sorties or two end up logging in disgust.

IF you by chance were on the recieving end just days prior to the first radar change, you would feel the need to have to do something. Now think of it this way...Radar settings are not put there to shut down YOUR game if you are the NOE crowd, but now they have given everyone an evened up choice on where to up and engage the enemy

I was NOT part of the NOE crowd, on the contrary, I ALSO liked scanning the map for potential NOEs and defending against them.

While there were always false alrms,I found the NOEs very very easy to detect.

 heck i busted 4 noes in two days, all i did was call out NOE or Raid at such and such base, people showed up to fight them and we pushed them back everytime, i try to scan the map all the time looking for oddities or possible incoming attacks. the hordes that attack lately seem real easy to beat back, once you get the upper hand they leave anyway and go find another place with no opposition, its a rinse and repeat cycle

Have you noticed that it's huge numbers ranging from 20 to 30 pilots, upto 10,000ft are winning the day.

NOE raids I flew in, consisted of around 10 guys at 600ft, plus around 4 fighters that only zoom climbed at 10 miles from target. NOE's were harder to detect but easier to break up than this new super horde i'm seeing.
Now, even if you do get up in the air, one defender is generally outnumbered close to 5 to 1. It's much easier now to find a fight with the huge dar, but survivability has drastically reduced. I compared it on 200 last night to Russian WWII tactics, except they difference is they get to fly much better and much more effective aircraft.

I don't think this super hording was the intention of the initial dar change but it's what we've got and what we all have to deal with. The only problem is rustling up enough defenders that are actually willing to take on the horde; Half the Rook Airforce seem to be sat in the NAAFI drinking tea and playing cards while bases fall around them  :lol

But to the hording "v-tards" (not my name for ya ;),) Your effective and efficient in your methods, :salute

All that can take a base now is the horde, gettin sick of this crap. I like NOE raids,

At least you didn't contradict yourself in the same sentence, periods can do wonders.
