Winning the war is Fun

[Yarbles]

Well it is sometimes with everyone pulling together with a shared goal, toolshedders and furballers making a contribution while the arm chair generals learn to work together.

25 perks in each category seems a bit of an anti claimax though. Perhaps we could try a tour of 250 perk points in each category and see if that had a positive effect on the game. I am not saying it would but it would be an interesting experiment don't you think?

I've never seen a war won.... it just continues and resets. Means absolutely nothing as far as fights go.

I remember good fights.

No need to give the NOE hordes more reason to do it.

Don't reward the side with the most players who wins the war, instead, make them go home to their virtual wives and have children. Later, they can virtually retire and then watch their grand-kids attempt to virtually re-experience a microcosmic  fraction of they went through and still whine about the virtual war fruits of their labor aren't big enough for their liking.

Because of all the base taking there is absolutely limited good fights anymore, only base trashing without defenders having the ability to defend. Sure base taking is apart of the game, but suddenly its shying away from actual dogfighting and leaning towards arcade style.

Again its only my opinion, everyone pays their $15 to do whatever, even if its lawn darting into hangers to make sure no fighters can up.

bases can be captured in the old fashioned way too...cap/deack/kill VH/kill town then capture...is that 'wrong' too?

What about folks like myself that are not motivated by perks to begin with?  I am assuming that there are others that think the same on this.  The overall war win is cool, but the battles over a specific base or region are of more interest and importance to myself.  So throw the extra perks if you want, but I do not think it will change my game behavior.

Overall -1

I remember in the not too distant past when a base take was much different.  One or two boxes of bombers, 5-8 heavy fighters, a few escorts, and 1 or 2 goons.  They would come in at 10-15k, drop the town and vh, and cap the field. This NOE to the corner of the map so no one will defend crap was nonexistant.

Kinda curious how many perks is enough? In one month of playing I stacked up 2300/600/900 (Fighter/buff/Vehicle) perks.
If someones in need of perks in a specific field, then fly higher ENY fighters for a month, whiners will complain when they only fly La7's all the time and wonder why they have no Perks.

As for buff perks, anyone can take a Ju88 up and bomb a city or Carrier and land 20+ perks each time.

Vehicle perks take a little more work to get, however driving a GV all day you can easily get 50+ perks, based on Panzer4 vs M4, get 2 kills and Land is roughly 6-7 perks each time with 1.0 modifier.

So I see no reason we need to add perks to winning a war, they are just a small bonus that can easily be obtained in less then an hours work by an average player.

This "not too distant past" must be at least 6 years ago, as it clearly was before my time. And NOE's are today much rarer than they had been for 5 of that 6 years.

I would rather see NOE 110 raids then the current rash of P51/190 vulchfests.

Any player getting his a Ju-88 to the city strat and back alive can call himself lucky, considering his rides speed, attainable altitude and defensive armament.
It's not much better with attacks on CV's, a Ju 88 is very close to being dead meat on the table for every enemy fighter it runs across.

whats NOE?
