     Just out of a mild sense of curiousity, where have you been since 2008? 

Mostly eyes glued to the screen playing AH.  :)

As I said to Lusche in another thread, I don't think the bish get this any worse over the long term; each country gets it now and then. The problem is that there's no great fun being on the other end of it to counterbalance the un-fun of being the gangee. I'd much rather it not happen at all, to any of the countries, although it only affects me personally when it's the bish.

This particular instance has been going on for loner than usual, though - it's been much of the last four nights in Off Peak.

Ah man. That would have been fun to fly in and push back.

You really think they would let you take off?  :old:

Its never a matter of someone letting me do anything.
I take.

I'll let them vultch me until they're out of ammo and then cap the field and push it out.
Face shooting vultchers is fun too.

I do it all the time. My k/d sucks for a reason.


It'd also be fun to see who's flying against the bish down there. Maybe some certain 38s...f4u's...  :lol

You don't have to be a BIsh to help then in that situation. With bases being so close, you can take off in Knightland and attack the Rooks ib to Bishland and vice versa.  A few players can cause great disruption that way :)

That's fun too. Especially in a jet.  :aok

I feel it's a bit unfortunate that it had to come to this first, before they were put back into the game.

Not everyone likes furballs.

then switch countries to nits or rooks and enjoy being the horde.

I play every aspect of the game from vehicals to ship gunners when the situation demands it. I fly every style I can possibly learn to ensure I can enjoy as many situations as possible. That is probably why I dont see your point and why I think people who don't like furballs simply cannot survive in them and wont drop their ego far enough to learn through violent repeated death. Not liking furballs is your own choice, so why ask the developers to fix a game that you are not using to full potential?

I’m sure that those that were breathing threatening and murder at HTC were those that routinely say, “If you don’t want your base to be shut down or taken, get off your butt and defend it” when some of us make our one small request that we have made over and over for years that TT bases be made uncapturable.

I love those little bugs that mete out doses of small justice.

HT said it was a bug that came in on the last update. The removal of uncapturable bases was not planned.

I imagine if the bish were limited to 2-3 fields like that, they'd be so concentrated, that vultching one of those fields would be pretty tough. I'm sure people could find their way into the air. It's probably less intense than a horded field on a more even map where there's less defenders.

when it is 2 countrys against 1..kind of hard to defend really well..and u all know that...scoth with over 100 people hammering away at 3 fields,bombers incoming vulching,its no wonder people were ticked off.

 Need 2 LWA's back..this way,when one side is getting ganged,they can leave and go into the other LWA,and get some breathing room,and have it calmed down..its been working great having 2 lwa 24/7 except TT and now this mess for 2 weeks..
