gv battle during fso

[drfritz]

So i see that a few guys  decided not to follow the rules and make the gv fight one side cluster duck. think im done with fso,  what part of the planes are not to engage the tanks. one side spoting is not very fair you think... might of well painted our tanks orange and have a beacon going off on top... nice job with the 30 min drive.

Don't let a few people stop you from coming to FSO.  The CM will handle the issue.

I hope you filmed a few minutes of it so the Admins can deal with it.

Remember, GV part was supposed to be for fun...some guys take the game too serious. Don't let it turn you off from FSO.

It just was a bad night all around. game froze up un take off and had to do a hard reboot of the game. got stuck flying by my self trying to hook back up with sqd and got jumped by 6 190d. was a short fight in the air and the gv fight was a cluster to boot. the gaming the game that in the main arena has started to show its ugly face more and more in the fso of late....been playing this game for 10 years and the eye candy is great by game play is just getting worst and worst....might be time for a long break and try something different.

well we flew around for about an hour chasing Jet bombers and fighters we had no chance of catching, so we towered and jumped in tanks only to be popped by freakin king tigers upon reaching the fight.  At least you got shot at.

I travelled in my jet at near 500mph, 300odd miles to shoot down any allied spotter planes.

I know when I got there I didnt engage any tanks, I had full ammo counts from my refuelling at Kessel.

I saw a greenie mark a M3 via shooting the ground though.

I don't think shooting the ground for marking is technically engaging tanks, but perhaps the CM may want to revise the rules as the allies didnt think to send airsupport to the GV fight.

with out double checking the map. i believe the tank battle was deep in enemy controled sector.. the message clearly said this is a tank battle only. no planes allowed...........

23 was a friendy airbase, seems we have a boarder dispute brewing

Of course its not...not technically

But you know exactly what it was...pretending otherwise is disingenuous to say the least

The vehicles were to engage and fight other vehicles...without participation or interference from aircraft...

I love this tap dancing that goes on time and time again...

"Technically..."

Some tanks were shot at and some planes shot the ground. Still poor sportmanship. But it's a plus since they were wasting their time spotting/shooting at us rather than shooting at our planes. It makes ya look pretty smart right?

23 was the base we gved from. was not active air base to launch planes from.

Just to clarify, Flight was disabled, no aircraft were launched from that base

Just to clarify, Flight was disabled, no aircraft were launched from that base

And that matters in the context of this discussion how?

It has been proven over and over and over again...

Some pilots just cannot stay out of a GV battle period...

All of the rules and writeups in the world will never change that

No wonder GV guys never want to get involved in Scenarios and other events

edit: The only thing that would have kept planes away from the GV's would have been to have NO planes at all period

Evey once in a while you will have people/squads gaming the game and CM gets right on top of that. Other time you will have people/ squads that do what they want to and not play by the rules or assignment.

Keep in mind that FSO is not "fog of war". I wish for a few things to change or brought into FSO , but the CM staff develop FSO so if fits everybody. Yes, there are some events that just plane sucks, but try to make the best of it. A little brake may bring that itch for you to come back.
