What is the fun in hording a base that has no defenders? And the chance of it having one are about 0.000001%.
Bet you WTG yourselves after each take don't ya?
Its hard work killing buildings isn't it?

You EW boys stay there cause you cant hang in LW.
If they are having fun working alone as a team defeating the AI and taking the base why should you care anyway?  fun police at work Im afraid.

The "cant hang in LW" is a retarded thing to say.

Odd to think of LW flyers thinking of themselves as "elitist" though.
Really?  Almost every post I see regarding any arena other than the [most popular] of the two LW arenas basically smacks of looking down their nose and saying things like this shining example:

You EW boys stay there cause you cant hang in LW.

Wondering where the KN guys are to explain that P40B/T34 bit?  They normally like to join threads like this :)

not everyone who goes in EW are "score hoars"...
True, the "Rowdy Rebels" squad member is Rook, 94.9% of the time in EW, same with the 337th members. I have never seen the 527th FBS member as anything other than a Rook.  The 66th FG member I have never seen before.  HOWEVER, the lone SOAR member in there I have never not seen as a Bish, until now.  My point being that the only one I see positively engaging in score hoaring, beyond a reasonable doubt, is YOU!

SOAR changed from bish to rooks along time ago, i just dont go into EW much anymore,yesterday was the first time i'd been in there this month. thats why it was your first time seeing me as a rook in there.

How about coming up with some ideas to make it better or more populated.

kill it so that maybe the MW or AvA can get a couple of more tool shed fighters

How about this. FSO and scenarios are popular. EW is a good places to come practice those plane sets in context.

They can practice in the DA, TA, MW, LW.  That place is not used for practice as you would easily see if you tried it a few times.

That been said, I can see why BP said to kill it.  I don;t think it hurts having it, but definitely no gains there either.

 I see guys post stuff about SOAR and EW that I know never even came to EW back 2 or 3 yrs ago when that squad played EW a lot. It is hear say they have been told by other guys that came to that arena to teach SOAR a lesson and got spanked. The SOAR stories are like some old Indian folklore that gets pass from generation to generation. There is only two SOAR members that still play regularly. Nether play EW and have not for many moons. I stay in SOAR just because of the whines I see and hear like in the BBS.
 
 It is not the fault an any particular squad if no one comes to an arena that a group of people like to play in. I think people don't like EW because of the plane set. If they can't get a 262 to go shoot down a goon with they don,t want to play. The people who did fly EW learned to make do with less
and got better doing it and a good time was had by all. After all it is their $14.95.

sad to say it, but it looks like SOAR is pretty much done, our CO hasent been on in over a month, and we dont rly do much else but fly in the MA scattered. kind of sad. we had some great teamwork going on during the summer in EW.  :(

Very true.  All I see in the MW and LW is 262s chasing goons  :noid

That's a tad shortsighted, no?  The argument has far less to do with perks than it does fairness.... Early war "objects" were def not as reinforced as they were in late war.  As with the technology evolving in ordinance, so with reinforcement.


Come on ... a building in the 30s was weaker than the same build in the 40s ?  :huh

Buildings get stronger as they get older ? :huh

I know at one time, the SOARS came into MW thinking that they would reek havoc like they were in EW ... it didn't work out well for them.
