The state of EW
« on: January 12, 2011, 10:48:50 AM »
This is EW.  Not much a guy can do with this.
Yeah I could go MW or LW.  I like the planeset in EW and it used to be good.
I'm in London so I don't know if it's a time thing.  Or if it gets better later on.
Anyway, it's thier money....... :lol

Lots of targets.

I'm friends with most all of the Blacksheep.  You can ask a couple of them to meet you elsewhere and get some fights if defending the base from them all gets to be too much.  Even though their squad is large and they operate as a glob, at least they like to fight.  Many are willing to go aside and fight alone if you ask.  I usually see many of them on when I come home from work...they jump between EW and MW.

As far as the rest in the arena...apparently they like to join the horde and are hoping for the cherished 25 perkies for being on the side to "win teh warz".

If you are attracted to the early plane set then give Mid War a try.  More peeps on average plus ALL the early war rides are still competent and deadly in MW if handled well.

They get the perks in there to use in the LWA's.    They sure as hell won't fight either.

The EWA should be deep 6'd because of them.

Not an issue really, it jumps to 30 in flight.  It used to be 15-20 so I'm happy. :aok

I think most of the guys in there are ok, just don't understand why 2 or 3 squads are on the same side.

lol. why'd you block out names? no need to. im the "5th sfg" guy.
best time ive seen in EW was back during the summer, you had S.O.A.R, the ironhorsemen,the 337th,and a couple of other squads all in there duking it out. was very fun, and very competitive. but i guess after awhile the limited plane set starts to get annoying. (in EW, you'll most likely encounter more spits/hurricanes than all the other planes,and zekes too).and the action in there can stop just as suddenly as it began. it CAN be VERY fun, it just isent right now because everyones duking it out in LW.

A prime example of the age old struggle of man against buildings and auto-ack.These brave souls are valiantly fighting for our very existence and should be praised for their sacrifice.

The state is even worse than than it seems.

As many of you know, I'm currently compiling the datat for the annual AH Stats thread.  While still focusing on LW, This year I wanted to include the other arenas too. Unfortunately the EW stats for the planes are being next to unusable. For example the P-40B had suddenly a supreme K/D in 2010, placing it just behind the highly perked 190. Not because one or two ACM experts did pick that plane as their main ride for a year, but mainly by shade/squaddie vulching respectively proxy kills to boost the score. For example, thanks to several members of Kommando Nowotny the P-40B suddenly became one of the top killers of the T-34... amazing thing for a plane that does not carry any bombs.  :rolleyes:

See?  See!  This is why you don't intentionally mess with score, it makes the Snail all mad!  No we gotta go find some new slime lubricant, all the frustration dries him out!  Hope you're happy, Snail killers.
