Is this what Hitech wants?

[lulu]

I don't know what HTC wants. 


Certain this post has this effect on my poor mental state:

"Heh I was just thinking the same. When someone says horde I automatically think bish for some reason. I mean there are nits too but a horde from them is like wth just happened?"



Because bishops are more able in master and command then rooks or knights.

As i point out before.

Or because bishops are not able to fight on even terms. More likely.

Now this is funny.  When in the MA have you seen any fight on even terms?  Rarely is either side balanced in a specific battle.

Loose deuce could not speak about horde.   Basically they are an horde group.    

The true is more simple. Humans have a natural tendencies to form group, That's all.

Most fights on MA happen on even terms, if there is no organization players form up slowly to the scene and the opposition has time to react. With a megahorde the slates are turned immediately and defending is pretty much ruled out, especially when a carpet of bombers disables the field.

Hordes consisting of only fighters are not nearly as bad as the ones combining huge fleets of bombers. Too many fighters to even touch the buffs and buffs close the field in 1 run. Then it's just 1 m3 and a couple of minutes away for capture. Defenders won't make it half way from the next field before it's gone. Not only that, the horde typically lands immediately and moves on so whoever bothered to make the transition ends up flying around the empty field and acks blazing.

Stuff like that just makes you wonder what people are looking for, fun combat or ways to take that chance away from the game.

Not EVERY buff end as you said.

Why?  !!!

That can be said about alot of "lone wolf" types too.

Just look up.

Bull, I don't know where you fly in the MA, but I rarely, if ever, see any fights start on even terms.  One side always has a numeric advantage over the other side.  That advantage can switch from the offensive to the defensive side, but one side always has an advantage.  As for that forming up slowly, it sure seems the norm when I am fighting one player, there are three others trying to pick.  Outside of the occasional arranged one on one or by chance two players coming upon each other alone in the same sector, there is no such thing as an even or fair fight in the MA.

I didn't have time to read every post but I'd say yes, HT did want that in a way.  Otherwise why include the ability to plan missions.  Looks to me like they were trying to also include some immersion in that they were mostly in F6F's.

Gameplay hasn't really changed in 15 years.  Your perception of it may have.  Why keep beating these dead horses?

Bish just got assaulted by the entire Rook Air Force at 135 tonight. Should I start a new thread about it or will this one do?

(Image removed from quote.)

If you look out your left window you'll see a cloud of Rook iron blowing the crap out of a Bish airfield. If you weren't such a picktard you'd actually be in icon distance and maybe even within draw distance of the dozens of more aircraft ib that are indicated on the rada- they just took out the radar. Those pesky gremlins.

Yes, ALL sides do this...why Bish players get soooo defensive about this I'll never know  It's a game issue, but as I have been told many a time "it is the way the game is played" so it's how we will play. Instead of fighting for air space, or land, or to win the war, we will do all in our power to deny the enemy of everything. Deny them the bombs to blow up our building and GVs (because we can't kill them any way) Deny them the use of CV that we hide (because should they use it a fight might break out).

Check out the wish list, how many thread can you find on wishes that are all about denying something from the game. Denying side switching (spyz!) fuel, ammo perks, limiting aircraft from a field. Why, because its about the only way to slow a horde, deny them the planes/bombs/fuel.

Oh well, it's how the game is played ! 

[GNucks]

I've seen far more Bish hoards than Rook hoards.
Something involving kettles and pots comes to mind...

So you advocate hordeing when its you on the end. Its "fun" right?

What exactly are you preaching here?

Hey you two, this guy:

I was just about to post that. 

He seems to think that it was an accident that you made the ord, fuel, and hangars destroyable.  It must be a bug.

If they weren't meant to be destroyed, they wouldn't be destroyable.

The logical conclusion to that thinking is just to make all the fields undestroyable and uncapturable. 

Then the MA can then be reduced to stale, one-dimensional, pointless furballing with no context or purpose.

You know, like......well... you know.
