There is a derrogatory name for everything, that someone else does not agree with.FYI there is no "AltTard", that is an "Alt Monkey".Ignore them all, find your own fun, go do that. And don't be a dick.
fightertard!(if that ever becomes an actual term, the game is gone)
there seems to be a typical progression when one starts playing this game, most start in a large squad, and take bases... most people get bored with it after awhile. they either quit, or find other things to do in the game besides team up with 20 other people and blow up town buildings all night. its fine for learning the ropes, but if flying with 20-30 friends against 0-2 enemy is still fun after any extended period of time, I ask why bother even having 3 countries, everyone should just join 1 country and roll all the bases.the main thing to remember, not everyone cares about bases or "the war". when you don't care, there's no reason to fly in large groups of friendlies.. its boring because the more friends are around, the less chance of having any actual combat with an enemy. and having combat is the true objective of the game.
If you are vastly outnumbered.... it's a horde.If your group vastly outnumbers the other group.... they should have brought more help.If the groups are even and your getting shot down over and over..... it's a horde.If the groups are even and your side keeps shooting down an individual pilot...... he should stop whining and get some TA time.That about covers how hordes are mostly considered in game. Have a nice day.....
The game is not about WAR, tho winning the war is one of the many options available during game play/ The game is about combat, the war is there to give combat a place to happen. GV's promote the the same thing, another way to create combat be it in battle against other GVs, of being fighters in to attack the people bombing the GVs. The game is all about combat.As for the horde, more often than not I see it explained, and complained about as a large group the completely flattens a base in minutes capturing said base and then disappearing to pop up at some other undefended base to do the same thing over and over and over again. The problem with hordes is they avoid the main purpose of the game, they avoid combat. Either by attacking in stealth mode (NOE), or with such over whelming numbers that they couldn't possible be stopped even should people try to defend. Years ago people use to try to stop/slow the hordes, now adays, they just avoid them and let them roll base after base. Instead they join their own hordes avoiding the enemy hordes and race to see who can capture more bases faster.
"look at me I am making a derogatory remark to the OP"
In my opinion, the Horde is different than what is thrown out many times.I find the "Horde" to be the group that drops hangars and deacks a base to where no one can possibly up from it, then loses 10 goons because they're all busy trying to vulch a runway nothing will up from for 15 minutes anyways.It's not a well planned mission if this happens.
