i feel that people who furball dont know what teamwork and organizing is and they dont really know what its like to be on the recieving end of someones stategic and tactical push.
I mean absolutely no disrespect here, but what you're talking about there virtually never happens in the Main Arena in AH. What may have been intended as a strategic push 90% of the time winds up being a large blob of aircraft that the enemy doesn't have time to react to effectively. This means few respond because most assume it's a foregone conclusion.
You've got a grid's worth of flight time for someone to notice the bardar send out an alert, for people to land whatever sortie they're on, get over to the threatened base, and get up. Even if everybody grabs a ridiculously fast climbing plane, you're doing good to get to 3k alt before the blob of bandits is on you. The majority in game don't enjoy fighting outnumbered from below, as difficult as that may be to believe.
The alternative is to take off from the next base over and get to an effective alt to put up a fight. Unfortunately by the time you get there, town is flat, all the hangars are down, and all it takes is a human wave of M3's or C47's to capture. Whee.
It's effective, but no fun and nearly pointless to defend against. I think that's the main cause for contention.
It's funny how different people experience different things in game. I see people dragging for friendlies all the time in the arena. Sometimes they aren't *good* at dragging, and start turning hard on the deck directly below the guy who's trying to set up to bounce the bandit, but quite often I see both friends and foes working somewhat together. They're rarely working closely or well together, but they're generally trying.
