a few months back some guy asked why we were letting the vbishops roll our bases.  most replied that we had already padded our score with their kills and now just wanted to have fun fighting the rooks.

i have seen many times 5 to 10 fighters fly right by me as I go on my way to kill their goons and not one of them turned to engage other than the pass by ho.  have caught them many times at 15 to 20k as they just try to outrun my pony in their heavy planes, i follow them catch up to them kill them till i run out of ammo and they wont make a move to avoid other than trying to run.

not really sure if it's good or bad for the game.  but all i know is that it is getting more boring each time we fight them.  

semp
you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

And that plus the sheer number of people in the squad makes it easy for noobs to hide and learn....prison gang style.  You made my point you just left out  the squad size to try to make yours;  # of people is what enables the prison yard gang protection.



 :lol Never felt like I needed protection or hiding to learn.  It was fun to try and accomplish the task against the odds, like a challenging obstacle course.   On average there were maybe five or six v guys on at once with me and if there was some sort of protection by flying with them, I sure did get shot down a lot.  Again, I do not see anything gang like, hiding, or otherwise negative with them.  They are normal pilots just like many other squads, they just focus on base takes and winning the war more than most squads.  They have their share of experienced players as well.  I would recommend anyone that enjoys strategy and base taking to fly with them.  They are fun guys oriented towards a goal.    Nothing wrong with that.  Nuff said.  :salute :cheers:

You won't feel that way Mr Debate King, you aren't new, lmao!  The reason you died a lot is...well, they are task oriented and the task wasn't to protect you.  Additionally, it sounds like you flew with them when they only had 6 online.  Now we're done, lol

Don't fly goons directly from the launch base to the objective base.  That's one thing we try to teach, it's sorta like bringing your lancers in at 5k and then wondering what happened.

Drool.

Yes it happens all the time and it drives me up the wall.

Goon Pilot:  "I just got shot down"
Me:  "Did you fly directly to the objective base from our nearest base?"
Goon Pilot :  "Yes"

Oh give us a break.  You know as well as I do that when 30 or 80 P-38s hit the field, even though of most pilots auger or hit the tower, the base still gets closed.

LOL.  Ah, the myths of AH...

Actually, you've been leaving hangers up and vulching lately.  Of course your missions have gotten larger, so when you have 30+ circling the base (in B-38s or otherwise), that is as easy to do as close it.  Maybe that's the amazing "change" vTrooper is claiming?  You're adapting more of a vPotW style, eh?

Some of us do still up from adjacent bases to kill those unprotected goons, though.  I got 3 of yours just yesterday!   :aok

I have always said "V's" were good for the game.

I have never been in there squad. But I was new to this game once. And when I was learning the game and it was moving way faster than I was, have numbers around help keep me airborn for longer. It all grew from there.

Let them have there fun, you can only roll so many bases before guys will get tired of it.
