Not gonna quote SPKmes' entire diatribe but......gee buddy, sounds alot like war. Don't know about you but I've been in one and if there is anything that we desire to do most it is flatten and destroy resistance by any means possible.

You won't fit in here without a lot more banter sir.  You should at least pick a squadron to bash.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't see any reason to bash you guys. You're going to play AH the way you like, at the very least bashing the Devils isn't going to make the squadron (as a whole) change anything. I've seen many squads go through the period of bashing (Rolling Thunder, Pigs, Birds of Prey, etc), but getting uptight about something I can't change doesn't solve anything.

I would encourage you to try FSO, your determined nature could not only be rewarded but may even be applauded. I'd like to spend a bit of time with some of you gents in the TA as well, I'd like nothing more than to see the complaints after you 'pwn' someone.

Yep, it is official.  With the new house, wife and kids, I am definitely getting soft.

30v1?  If you're going to fib you should at least use numbers and ratios that aren't completely ridiculous.

29 v 1.

Sorry.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Thanks delirium.  I'm not one to cut on a squad just because I don't like the way they play.  It's an open ended game with lots of ways to play.  I used to bash squads when I was new, my first squad CO had me convinced that all Claim Jumpers are the lowest form of scum on the planet followed by Satan's Playmates.

Then I played for a while and realized they're just squads, like every other squad.  No single individual in AH is invincible and no group is either.  A way to win can always be found.  I just wish fewer people would look to the forum as their way to win.

ps.
the video I made that was posted by one of our haters was not posted on youtube to show off, that's why the only portion of that flight to be published was the ridiculous part where the air mission flew over the unfriendly friendly Tank campers who seemed to think it would be a good idea to broadcast intel on 200 in the hopes that their countrymen would fail to capture the field.  

It shows exactly what happens whenever someone tries to force someone else to enjoy aces high the same way they do.  It's an exercise in futility.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Id be more than happy to spend some time getting frustrated in the TA with you. Everyone can always use some help with something. We have a few that could give a lot of the good sticks a run for their money.

And since we're posting film.  Here's another one where we have the enemy outnumbered 32-1.   Sorry for the poor quality I was a little busy running away from the fight.

I don't think that was the video you meant to post. It is just 2 views of someone on someone elses 6. No fight, no setup.

Good point.  I just posted the most recent film on the channel.  No setup, just one guy clearing the 6 of another.  The only setup was shooting the tail section off before blowing the rest of the plane up.

Maybe this is better?

 :uhoh <---my response to Chalenge  

Anyway Rob, I don't deny all the countries hoard up..been happening from day one. But I just don't understand the mentality of it and why so many enjoy avoiding a fight in a fighting game by bringing the numbers they do. If if wasn't you guys it'd be some other squad. I believe in sportmanship and giving my opponents a fair clean fight. I would get bored very quickly following around a mass of guys begging for scraps or a chance to beat a countryman to the field for a vulch or two. Apparently you and the majority of others enjoy just that. Well have at it. More power to ya. I've grown tired of trying to defend a base with 2 or 3 guys against whole 3 wing squads. SEA is where I probably need to be anyway.
 Oh btw, I was checking out your squad forums last night and can't say I've ever seen a forum category solely for haters posts before. I'm honored to have made a place on it  :devil  :lol

IMHO, the Main Arenas are merely practice for FSOs, Scenarios, and other special events.

I find this to be a joke, have you ever checked the numbers in the MA while these events are ongoing.

This GAME is nothing like war and should never be compared to it in any way shape or form. If you think that you can can compare this GAME to war because you have been in a war, I then say bull.

This is a GAME, and being so should be fun and challenging with some goal. To you guys that love to horde, all you care about is the goal. How you get there is totally un-important. Becoming the "locust" mentioned before is fine by you. What happens after the locust have pasted? what happens if the locust are allowed to continue un check? Vast tracks of land become unusable. People move on. Mid-war use to have some dedicated squads in there, as well as Early-war. Funny how you don't see many in there any more, I guess they just moved on.
