Is this what Hitech wants?

The MA is not that controllable.  Its a cross between Rave party, the Special Olympics, and the Russian Front.

I think the real challenge here, is to find out which country is which.

Bish = Special Olympics
Rook = Rave party
Nits = Russian Front.

Agreed?

[Urchin]

I mean this as honestly and helpfully as possible.

I believe moot, Urchin, and Fugitive would have more fun spending their time in the DA.  Splitting their time between the simple furballing at the lake (never having to worry about strat or bombers) and 1 vs. 1 duels at the other fields.

You may not realize it, but I think thats what you really want.  Start yourself a DA club so that you can organize 2 vs 2 and 4 vs 4 for variety.  

You can control it and optimized it to be perfectly fair.

The MA is not that controllable.  Its a cross between Rave party, the Special Olympics, and the Russian Front.  Its never going to conform to your delicate sensibilities.

Typically when I play, that is where I play.

[The Fugitive]

I agree with Moot, people need to learn to fight.

The DA is just a rinse and repeat of tricks. Get the timing down and your a "top gun" whoopie!  I'm looking for a fight. If that means I join a group trying to capture a base, or one that defends, that's all I want. I don't want to see nobody defend when I'm attacking. Where's the fun in just walking in and grabbing an undefended base?

- don't want to see the attackers run away after a failed attempt, regroup and try again!

I don't want to see 40-50 guys roll in and totally flatten a base, capture it, then move to some other obscure part of the map to take another. There is not fight in that either.

Tell me your next base attempt, I'll a couple guys together and we TRY to give you a run for your money. That's all I'm looking for.

[CptTrips]

Wait. 

Did you just assert that the enemy should inform you beforehand of where they plan to attack?

Should they ask, "Mother, May I?"

'People' don't need to do anything, actualy.

Clueless! 

[Lusche]

Absolutely! 

[Yeager]

I think fugitive has thunked himself right into a perpetual loop of contradiction.  Sometimes "not thinking" is the best medicine.

[The Fugitive]

Wab, what's wrong with telling me the next base your going for? You bring your crew, I get a couple guys to up in defense with me, let the better team win, whether it's with tactics, or skill. At least there will be a fight, fun for all right?

People need to learn how to fight so that they don't have to always run from one, or hide in a horde. It's NOT and requirement, just a suggestion.

Where am I contradicting myself? I've always said all I want is a fight. Whether its in the air, or on the ground. Whether it's air to air, or for a base, all I want is a fight.

I think Fugitive has just written himself into a corner!  I do respect him and what he has attempted to gain with his mega-postings but I fear that he has gone full circle in his wants and expectations and of what will be, can be, or wishes would be. He has ignored the fact that his most important variable in his equation is the current state of the "adjustable nut behind the keyboard"!  The current player base is NOT the same type of folks that started playing this game when it was in beta and throughout AH1.  He can blame Hitech for it.  Hitech has had to do some things to the game to make it viable to the current market or risk closing the entire company down as a failure.  He is an employer and has responsibilities to his employees and himself and his family, and that is keeping the company alive.  I'm sorry that we just don't have enough pure WWII enthusiast that want combat to be on a complete HONOR format that was enjoyed only during WWI.  The entire education system is mostly to blame as when I was in school during the 60's, we studied the wars in history class but my youngest son (30 years old), doesn't know squat about the war of 1812 or even what happened at Iwo-Jima.  Pure WWII combat folks are NOT enough to sustain a company today.  We just have to live with the quake war players and hope for the best.

All the Best...

+1  thats about all that can be said, it's a new generation

[CptTrips]

Wab, what's wrong with telling me the next base your going for?

Fug,

So apparently your answer is the enemy must ask "Mother, May I?".  Unbelievable. 

So lets recap....

The enemy must give you sufficient prior notice, before any attack.  Where and when. 
They must not come in too high (alt monkey), or too low (sneaky NOE).
They must not come with too many planes (damn horde!)
They must not fly faster than Fug can catch, and they must agree not to disengage if they get in to a disadvantageous position.
And for God's sake, they must never blow anything up as that might deprive Fug of a toy.

You have now crossed the line from merely being goofy, to full out tardness.

Good luck with that.

Fugitive, your doing it all wrong get your buds together and just tell them on 200 where your going to hit and just go there, trust me.. it works on starting fights all the time 

[Ack-Ack]

I agree with Moot, people need to learn to fight.

Some also need to realize that not everyone plays the same way, some like to mix it up and some prefer more timid tactics.  Who is to say who's playing style is the right way or the wrong way?  Certainly not you and I...


ack-ack

[The Fugitive]

Wab, now you being ridiculous! I never said they MUST tell me where they are going, I said why not tell me where they are going, as in challenging you and your crew against me and who ever else comes along. SAPP does it often enough. Call out where we are going and challange all to fight us. It's always good fun.

AKAK I agree that there are many ways to play the game, I just don't think the "quake"style of the hordes is one of them. I just think it kills more "fun" than it adds to the game.

And yes I agree that "the time are a changing" and I'm working on changing with them.
