I find myself frequently leading a "horde" and I really wish people would defend more.  The way I do it is to put an alert on country and launch a spit, la or 109.  There are always kills to be had and there is an advantage to being in a good fighter over home turf with a ton of planes to shoot at.  Especially since the "horde" planes are usually the bomb carrying variety.  I don't think it's very hard to spot 30 planes coming in regardless of how low they are.

Trust me, it's a huge disappointment when we have nothing to use our weapons on other than town buildings, ack and hangers.

Just my opinion. :salute

ps.

I have a ton of respect for those who defend to the bitter end like RedDevil and EvilSars, regardless of how outnumbered they are.  Just to put up a fight.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Wouldn't that be the same as Arena Caps?

I'm more inclined to say just shut up and fly,  

if the big bad horde bullies you,  just get some like minded individuals and go and try to intercept them before they get too their next target. It really doesn't take a genius to work out where they will attack next,  win or lose you will have had some sort of combat.   Upping at the field they are already at and capped isn't the answer.  

and if Dallas /Busher doesn't end up PM ing you,  your not doing it right   :devil

Small maps increased action and localised hording with lopsided numbers,  

Large maps with lots of people usually means less ENY, but larger scale attacks are much harder for one guy to change anything.  

Whatever HT chooses people will cry about it so lets just man up and get stuck in.

Not really it would not limit access to an arena or a side. It would limit how many could be spawned from a given field at a given time.

There would be some coad required to change the limit as the ratio of players (per a side) to fields  changes.  (a side with only 5  fields must still be able to permit every one to fly just not all from one field)

Equally a side with 20 fields should still be able to allow a minimum field limit to be applied such that say 15 or 20 folk could be spawned from any one of its fields.

The idea is that whilst a large raid is still possible there comes a point where massive raids are not or at least require significant planning to spawn synchronously from multiple fields.

Oh I totally hear you but in essence what it really does is turn one big map into several small arenas, I mean maps.....  :old:

Now, everybody wants to be at the fight at A26/A47 but in order to do that you have to take off from a base 75 miles away.  Can't see how that would help subscription numbers.........

...And don't be foolish, EVERY move that is made by HTC is done to increase that number.  

Field Caps, at least at first glance, that's the way it plays in my head.   :uhoh

Who you talking to?

BTW.... You spelled LETHALITY wrong in your sig.  Might want to fix that.

EDIT:  LMAO - You even started a squad with the mispelling... HAHAHAHAHAHA

And how on Earth do you call my previous post personal?  You relate to the DumbPilot?  I simply speak about the error in some of our thinking.  

It's also not a very good quote to use... If you think about it.  

-You wouldn't be helping me make my point about personal attacks now would you?  :rofl
-You knew who I was talking to. It was a more polite approach than my initial thought.
-I know what's in my sig, sorry it doesn't work for you.
-Limited player spawns would be akin to limiting player aircraft choices.  No thanks. Play with things in your head a little more...
-Might I suggest you participate in a spelling bee? Spelling is obviously among your many strengths.  :)
NEVER underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
