Smash and Grab

yeah it is. winng is better then getting kills.

you don't realize that every kill is a win, do you?

a kill in the game means there was at least two actual people were involved, and one of them lost.

a base switching hands only means an object on a terrain died (map room). no player has to get killed.  If there is no player to be killed, why not just take bases offline and fight against your computer?

don't get me wrong, base taking gives people something to do, stirs things up usually, its great!  but don't think for a minute that taking bases and resetting maps is the only objective in the game.

[DMGOD]

really are they undefended bases aswell? and yes i do know alot about teamwork. it is easy to say someone has no skill when your side loses. and trooper no ones judging the squad. all the whiners are, are just losers who cant seem to win, and they label us skilless and say the we attack undefended bases.

sorry u must have misunderstood me. I have not labeled your squad skilles I labeled YOU (vWild949) skilless. The Vguys have a couple very good sticks (you  aren't one of them) also have some from what I consider  to be stand up guys ( you aren't one of them).  Do I agree with their tactics no I don't but do I respect them for what the do yes, the difference between them and you is very simple they acknowledge  what they do and they don't make up bs excuses for why they do it. Unlike you who even they don't seem to care too much for

   For me the furball results when players just wanna brawl. The real game, my favorite part of the game isnt the number of kills at all. Its the quality fights you had, win or lose. I've landed 6 and been like "Eh".... and I've crawled back to base with one kill, exhausted and grinnin.

What difference does the map really make to you?  Do you spend a lot of time looking at the scenery?

Maps make a big difference.  It's hard to play carrier wars on a map without water.  VBase layout and airfield proximity make a difference.  Small maps vs big maps influence how high buffs will be flying.  Flat terrain, mountains and canyons change the fights.  The overall map layout along with terrain features influence where fights will occur.  Maps make a big difference to me.

And yes, sometimes I even spend some time looking at the scenery.

I'm sure that's true, but I gotta believe you don't play the game to change the maps

Nope.  But I do have my favorite and least favorite maps.

frankly i dont care what you think or say about me. it dosnt affect me in the slightest, and i have plenty of skill in a dogfight. why i choose not to dogfight is because it POINTLESS to me. sure back in my days of playing F-16 MRF and F-18 hornet. i used to love getting kills and shooting someone down. but thats boring to me now. i dont get a thrill out of turning and diving and weaving and split second moments. thats why when i started playing this game i flew bombers, i didnt care much for the dogfight anymore it was pointless to me. one guys shooting at the other whoop dee doo.

LOL you did note the name of the game when you signed up right?  Aces High.  I don't think it meant it was a different type of solitaire game

yes and if it was all about dogfighting there wouldnt be GV or ships and bombers. or the ability to win.

[moot]

please don't judge the whole squad on account of one persons actions.

I've run into a couple of V guys who put up a fight.  The rest invariably run back to the swarm like speedy gonzales.

and again. htc could do more for AH. theres a whole huge and i mean HUGE player base out there that wanna play a game to win. and the player base outnumbers those who only wanna play game to get kills. thats all furballing is its players upping just to get as many kills as they can. what does that offer to thsoe who wanna play a game to win and win with teamwork.

Double standard argument. 

what does [pure toolsheding] offer to thsoe who wanna play a game to win and win with [furballing].

[coombz]

i think the people who complain about 'hordeing' have simply never played any other 'massively' online games

it's always gonna happen

for some people it's the whole reason to play a game like this

to each their own i guess

    We had a meeting a long time ago and decided we needed those things in the game to boost membership. We called it Project:Target

then why do people complain when we play the strategic aspect of AH? it is common military strategy to use numbers to your advantage. the russian did it during the war. do you call them skilless for doing that i'd think not. the same thing for the US navy in WW2 they would gang up of zekes 2 or 3 to 1 to take down 1 zeke. numbers are apart of military strategy, and it works just aswell in this War Game. i say to those who complain about it. play games like blitzkrieg or axis and allies for a while then tell me that using numbers is being skilless.

[The Fugitive]

Because this is a game, NOT WAR!

You go out to the playground and they are putting together a "pick-up" game of football. They choose up sides and one time has 20 players and the other only gets 6. They ONLY want to play with their friends. Would the game be fun?

If you were on the 20 player team sure you would win, but was it really fun?
