How Chuwie ruined the game today

[HawkerMKII]

I think you misread... 60 people in the mission plus 15 fighter pilots defending the base they were upping from plus the "follow-up crews" (note: multiple crews of undefined numbers).  

I hate to say Fugi's right but that's what's wrong with the game today.  Maybe one day all these lemmings will grow balls.

You said it right "IT'S JUST A GAME" why get your pantyhose in a bunch about how people play the GAME.......until you pay their $15.00 they will do what they want

Orders are now being taken for tractor trailer loads of tissues to cry into.

Each side does it.  There is no monopoly on "hoardes".  Hypocrisy has been rampant on this issue since the game first opened it's doors.

There is a PERFECT Utopia in this game, free from hordes, gangs, base takers, and missions...it's called the DA. 

Your $15 bucks is no better than anyone else's $15 bucks.

PS--WTG (Chuwie, flak, reap, and all the bish) those who had FUN!   Thank you mission planners/leaders!!   If you personally didn't have fun, even with all of the EPIC targets available to shoot down, pad your score and have fun then it's because you mssed out on the golden opportunity to do so.  That is not the bishop's fault.

180 lancs with what how many bombs  each?.  well lets just round it down to 1,800  1k bombs bombs and they couldnt shut down one base.  that wasnt the sound of bombs falling but the sound of suckiness that followed that mission.

180 lancasters can literally flat an entire map. Yet you took a single base while ganged that 6-7 unlucky defenders.
Call me cocky, elitist, or anything, but thats just simply super lame.
my 2 cents

[realgood]

        The war was won at point in time       dweed 262s should had alot of fun with it             should been like fish in a hot pan yummy yum

I would suggest to take a look on the sticky topic and read its 11th point.

Yes all sides do it, but the Bish are masters of it.

I like to play "war" I like to fight in my fighter, defend against base takers, or aid in taking bases. I can't do any of that in the DA, and I haven't got much of a chance to do it in the Mains unless I'm flying in a horde.

Certainly not, but mine should at least be equal to others. I shouldn't have to spend my $15 dieing to horde after horde, or spend the night trying to beat MY hordemates to a kill or chase wusses around the map who are after milkruns. I should have the same chances at "FUN" that other are having. What if there was a group of 15 guys that flew every night. Lets say they flew as tight a the "Loose Deuce" group, all had the skill of "Grizz" and could read a map like "Lusche" and all they did was to crush attacks. Everytime a mission launch these guys can in an wipped it out before it got within 15 miles of its target. Time after time, mission after mission all of them crushed. While it would be "fun" for the new squad, after a week or so all the horde leaders would be crying for something to be done by HTC. But hey, it's their $15 they can play as they want right?

These guys couldn't complete a mission with 15 guys, the NEED 20-30. Had they some skill and coordination they wouldn't have needed the numbers they had, and with the numbers they DID have they should have taken 2 bases and porked at least 3 more all at the same time. Unfortunately the only missions they know how to run is "bomb everything into oblivion and try to get the troops in". I saw a V base take yesterday that had two sets of troops running and they were STILL bombing anything that was up. Why? Because there wasn't anything to do in the mission for those guys so to re-leave the "boredom" they bomb stuff even when troops are running.

I could not have said it any better Mr Geezer. As soon as people start to understand that they cannot control the way others play the game, more fun will be had by all. Understand that for every mission, or "Massive Hoard" as it is called only when certain people are on the recieveing end of it, there can be an equally devistating mission/fighter sweep on your end but the choice is often to whine about instead as the title of this thread. Each side creates "Missions/Hoards" so I do not see the issue here except the reflex of some to whine because someone got the better of them for a two pronged massive mission. Botton line become better mission planners or join the countries that are more organized in doing so.

I'm already a Bish and have been for 11 years.  The problem is I enjoy the thrill of aireal combat and flying with or against a horde doesn't provide that.  I'm not interested in being the fourth man in against some poor defender who never had a chance from the start and I'm not interested in being that poor defender if my odds go much over me on three or four.  I'm not alone in this.  So when the lack of exciting aireal combat in a war type setting finally causes those of us who are in this more for sport to cancel our subscriptions (many have over the years) whats left?

Don't get me wrong.  I've participated in missions from time to time and even created them but what was posted in the OP was simply overkill.  No challenge (or at least it shouldn't have been) for the mission participants and no fun for the potential defenders.  Think of those days when the other two counties are ganging you with hordes from each side.  Do you keep diving into the horde knowing you have no chance or do you simply log off?  And if you log and the next day and the next day are the same?  Will a two weeker keep his account having to do that?

The point is there was nothing to be proud of here and the OP should have just walked away from the BBs before posting.

I think its more of a squad thing than a country thing. I flew Knights for years until I joined the 78th back in February and switched to Bishops. It seems I'm always running into an enemy hoarde. I've noticed the same squadron names over and over when fighting against the hoardes. To be honest I've flown against more hoardes since being a Bishop then I ever did as a Knight, but that could also be explained in that I spend more time in the LWA now. Still I don't see it as a country issue as much as it is squad and certain personality issue. I'm still amused by the fact that if you manage to get a decent defense going the attackers simply disappear and reappear at another base that isn't being defended.

Its only ok to horde if the other countrys doing it
all three counrtys do so quit  its part of the game
weather its good game play or not its here.

QFT, there's nothing anybody can do about how others play the game. The BBS whining and posing is just as annoying as all the behaviors people complain about. Hoardes HOtards Runstangs Run190s Spitdweebs or any other behavior you can name is always going to be there. I still havent come across a month where I felt like I was cheated out of $16.95 worth of fun because of the way others play the game.
