A couple of notes on the posts so far.
1. We went Rook to make a point. We can, and have made an impact beyond our numbers, but as DMGOD points out, we by ourselves are not game changers.
2. Our (or at least my) Rook stay is a temporary one.
3. Alchemists are not an elite unit. Far from it. We welcome anyone who is willing to learn, and willing to work as a team. We try to make the most of what we have by working together. Cudo's to the uber squads, but we like who we are.
4. Take undefended bases?? We will hit you where your are not, as hard as we can, and as fast as we can. We have and will take defended bases, but not with the same tactics as an undefended base.
5. Which brings us to base take strategy.
As has been duly noted and observed, we most often fly missions NOE, and either smash and grab the town before defenders can react, or shut down the base, supress defenders, white flag the town and capture it. It isn't the only tactic we use. It depends entirely on the situation.
I'm guessing the mode I see others use, which must be the ones who decry our methods, is to send a group of fighters over at 30k, push the fight down, send in the bombers, (also at 30k) to take down the base and town, then bring in the goons after the defenders have been taken out. Sad if you think "your" method is superior and anyone who dosen't use it is a dweeb.
6. I've been playing long enough to remember when you could take a base single handedly, so lets not compare apples to oranges.
7. U make an excellent pont Soulyss. I agree
