In the last four tours I have flown all three countries for entire tours.  I can tell you without a doubt, the complainants are the same, just the names change.

There is no "solution" that can be implemented when the rest of your teammates just can't seem to connect growing enemy dar bars in 3 adjacent sectors with an imminent attack.

It's absolutely horrible, but can't do nothing but agree with this statement  :uhoh

I can't even remember how often there was a multi-sector darbar slowly wandering across the map, and no matter how often I pointed that it, almost nobody was responding.
But when the target base is flat 30 minutes(!) later, there's much ballyhoo about it: "WTF? Where did they come from suddenly?", "alt monkeys", "toplshedders" "hordelings"  :lol

Hmm... rather than a numbers limit or waiting in a queue, why not an increase in ENY? Localised ENY has been mused over in the past.
Rather than a limit of 20, why not unlimited players can up but with every upper the ENY increases for that base?

Hitech actually responded in the Wishlist about this sort of idea.  He stated very clearly that it will not be implemented as it is too easy to circumvent (up from a near base and you can get around it).

  Been a Rook since I signed on.  :salute the Real Rooks. So I don't know much about the other countries. But the Rooks failing to pork the ords is the major problem there. Pork the Ords stop the Horde. Only a few will regularly (Myself being one) take down ord because most times it may be a oneway mission. Can't be afraid of losing score but many are.

  I do notice many in the other countries making it a priority to attack the enemies ability to make war. The new Horde style is to totally take all hangers and guns down so there will be no oposition to capture. The massive attacks have detered defenders from upping just to get vulched on the runway by those seeking easy kills.

  Don't be selfish, Take out an Ord bunker, run some supplies, do a strat run. Is this really a WAR Game or a Dogfight Game?
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

Last night Pandora, a very nice quiet spoken lady with a british accent asked a knight bomber squad, a fighter squad and her own POTW to help her take bases from the rook. We all upped climbed on the way to the base she wanted and pounded it to rubble. No NOE nonsense just picked a fight at each base. The rook each time had the ability to see our DAR bar growing and stop us. Our bombers never got above 12k and just came flat out into the target.

We took 5-6 bases before she logged for the night rearming at each base and climbing at the next base. We finally stalled at A8 because the muppets rescued the rooks from the knights who were willing to fight above NOE and below 15K. She never used the mission planner, just gave us our support roles on range channel, targets, we rearmed and went. Just her years of good relationships with different squads. Because she asked nicely we flattened every target she wanted with no bickering or confusion on our support roles. There were always multiple C47 inbound to insure troops got in the map room.

Me thinks it's not the game which has a problem but, the expectations, perceptions and relationships of some of the players in the game.

Oh I don't know, I was pretty happy the day I got a proxy kill on Shuffler! :D

 :rofl

Well if you have not made your first actual kill on me yet... stick around. It should not be long before you get the first and more. :)

Yeeeesh, how young do they let you lads on the internet over there.  Even I know how hoarse the voice an elderly british woman with a smoking habit can get, and I don't even live in THAT country, or even the one that invented the word "hoarse" to begin with.   :P  :devil  (seriously, you're either intentionally being a jerk here, or you need to grow up, go outside at least once a month, and start paying attention and remembering more things about women that a nice hole to fit around your peg.  maybe then, you'll finally meet somebody.  :aok )

I guess maybe I'm just thinking of a different Pandora  :pray    

or someone with a similar name

or your squaddie just sounds like a bloke
