Horde management, please

[JUGgler]

Either give them more to do or give defenders a reason to contest the uber hordes.

It can't be very healthy or fun to be in a 30+ plane gaggle with nothing to shoot at but buildings and a JUG, I am unselfishly thinking of the health and wellfare of the uber horde. Please help me save them  

50+ front line bases and half of one country is at ONE base<------ really?

I wonder if they trippled perk reward for the countries that where grossly overwhelmed, if that would make people want to balance the sides.  Especially with all of the newcomers expected over the summer that don't have any perks.  If they earned a lot of perks in thier two week period they might be inclined to stay to keep them.  It would also make them feel like they are becoming more accomplished more quickly given the steep learning curve in the game.

I've suggested a fix for this problem before, but it never got anywhere.

Alter the scoring so that when a player records a kill the game tots up the number of red and green icons in range at that instant and applies a score modifier. So lots of green and few red icons negatively affects score and lots of red and few green improves your score. A variation to this would be to weight closer icons to a greater degree than further ones.

If this were introduced players who cared about their scores would be forced to seek out more even fights and anyone like me who does not care would therefore be more likely to find an even fight.

oh geez...    ...i'm surprised ya'll don't complain that the sun sets every day. it's squeaker season, and a certain squad has extra help with their base rolling mishunz...it's a target rich environment, they're predictable and you don't have to go looking for a fight...what more can you ask for?

stop acting like a squeaker and asking htc to stop silly human behavior...it could end up affecting something you think is fun to do.

I'm sure it was bish/mish brewing, the smell of skittles and clearasil gives their intentions away

Greebo, that might help for a rare minority that fly in hordes for score.

Most hordes I see are random associations, not intentional. Nobody in them cares about score.

I know I don't care about score, as long as I get me my perks! It's at the point that even flying high ENY planes and getting a number of kills every sortie I can't make ANY perks these days. I'm killing 5 or 6 planes in a sortie and landing with 10 points sometimes. Not necessarily a bad perk multiplier either, close to 1x. I think the perk assessment needs to be re balanced!

EDIT: The above was in reference to making fighter perks, but making bomber perks is even harder! I STILL can't afford a formation of B-29s!

Amen to that + 1
