All that really shows is that he did not bring troops.


I have been told today that I'm a furballer, because I haven't gotten credit for a base capture for some time. Me, a furballer... that's the most abominable  insult to me in my 5 years of Aces High  :furious

I find it interesting how some players can spend all of their time on the BBS and in the arena talking about how low skilled the other players are at the game when their only skill or stat is flying one plane all of the time. The same players talk about no skill Gvers, yet have no GV points or any record of even being in a GV for many prior tours. Players who talk about how easy it is to capture bases yet don't even have a base capture or bomber score before or since the town layout changed back in June.

Scores are not very important in my book. I just think that if a fellow player is going to criticize other players for not having the skills to capture a base, operate a GV, or pilot a bomber, that person should have at least some record of doing those things recently himself.. The same players tell others how they should defend their bases, yet do not even have a Wirble or field gun score. This makes me think that as soon as the enemy gets cap on a base those guys bug out leaving it undefended.

Many of those Quote "Low Skilled Players" they talk about  fly bombers, attack planes, fighters, and drive Gv's all in the same night while playing.

Maybe many players enjoy being decent at many things instead of being perfect at one thing in the game... I am sure that if a player spent all of his arena time flying only one plane, he or she would get very good in that plane over time. I see nothing wrong with this at all. It is the player that decides what he or she chooses to do in the game. But they shouldn't be telling another player how much they suck at capturing bases, flying bombers, or operating a GV when said player has no recent record of doing any of these things since before the game changed back in June. I emphasize the game change in June because before then, any NOOB could take a v-base, town, or port by himself if he wanted.

There is an imposter!   :o  My appologies AKAK.  You sir did get credit for 1 base capture in a C47.  My point is now moot, and my shame for pointing an improper finger  :old: has been recorded.  I snagged someone's stats with a similar game ID.  It became obvious when P38J kills were absent.  :salute

VonMessa, yes I was trying to prove a point, and I FAILED miserably.  I didn't see the need to take up a page of text, but in retrospect, a better checking of all the facts before any post might have better served me.

I am only praying for some hint, that something other than the B29 will be in my Christmas stocking.  :pray

Just as I suspected:

Last month's stats for Ack-Ack

Late War Tour 130 Bomber Scores for ackack
   Score      Rank  
SNIP
Field Captures    0    3390

Late War Tour 130 Attack Scores for ackack
   Score      Rank  
SNIP
Field Captures    0    2667

Late War Tour 130 Vehicles and Boats Scores for ackack
   Score      Rank  
SNIP
Field Captures    0    3358

Yes, Ack-Ack you are really tearing it up in that category.  Oh snap!  

I am not suggesting that you don't know anything about base capture.  I am however questioning whether you have any interest in it.  

Besides being a small map, and the locust horde "adaptation" of game play, base capture has had a more and more limited approach.  The new villages look awesome, they just SUCK, when it comes to finding all of the destructible objects.

And yes I do have an interest in base captures.  I would have been one of the first to switch sides and help push back, if there were any hope of doing anything other than padding another guys stats.

you might want to recheck my stats for last tour..

Tour 130 Bombers
Damage per Death 757.50 2196
Damage per Sortie 378.75 2280
Damage Hit Percentage 0.00 3396
Damage Points 757.50 2479
Field Captures 1 289

That was a result of my solo capture of a Vbase on TT island against 3 defenders.  If you also look at my tours you'll also see scores for bombers and attack, depending on what I score my B-25H sorties as.

As for GVs, you should look at my MW stats for when I was in that arena exclusively for a few years and you'll see other occasional base captures and even me *GASP* in a GV.

But to tell you the truth, I no longer have any interests in capturing bases or driving GVs.  Been there, done that and got a t-shirt.

Did you check 10 years ago?  Do I need to bomb every day to know how easy it is?

They do!  That's why I hooked up with a chick that's got a drinking problem.

Clearly Vonmessa you did not comprehend what you read. My post has nothing to do with the ranking system. I could care less about it...

I do not believe Sir that I even  mentioned any persons name... Besides you cannot compare game play six months ago to game play now after they completely re made the town, and base layouts... Capturing towns and bases is alot different now ...

And as you can see my little dweebette, I do have a field capture after the new changes to the towns, airfields and Vbases and the capture I have was done solo against 3 defenders.  Like I said, some whines are just born out of myths...
