Side switchers

[Ack-Ack]

One of the historical (game-wise) problems with allowing side-switching with shorter time restrictions was the tendency of the masses to switch sides when they thought "victory" was eminent for one side or the other. There would be a mass migration to the side about to "win" in hopes of earning the perk points. I seem to recall this migration happening earlier and earlier in a map rotation until it became a substantial hindrance to any type of balanced game-play.

Which isn't an issue any longer in this game.

...try to break the chess piece mentality.

[sarcasm]
I don't know why folks get so worked up over those cute little Pittsburgh Steelers, or Dallas Cowboys, or New York Giants, or Miami Dolphins, or New York Yankees, or or or ....

I mean they are only teams.  Who would want to be loyal to that?!  We need to break this fascination with a little pigskin ball followers.   ... and that cute little baseball (that goes 90+ mph). And dont get me started on soccer or boxing.

They should be able to switch sides mid game too!
[/sarcasm]


There are many takes on this topic.  All are as legit as the next.  Those that are loyal to a team are not childish or in error.  It simply works for them.  No biggie.

Where were all those purists side switchers last night when Rooks had an enormous advantage in numbers?

Where were all those purists side switchers last night when Rooks had an enormous advantage in numbers?

Probably waiting 10-12 hours to switch again.

Exactly. I couldn't fly with my squadies last night because of that damn 12hr rule  .

My solution for all the spying and "checking which team to fly with" I have posted in wishlist.

Where human nature can not be controlled, humans can be kept busy or fed a "crock" instead.

I would disallow anyone with less than 2 stars to control a CV group.

Anyone with less than 1 star would not be allowed to see their team's noe positions.

I am plagued sometimes by people who have no stars, but are hungry for information about my altitude, direction, load, target. Some of these guys tell me not to bomb a factory because they will do it, or will offer to gun but on inspection these guys are missing the enemy 100%. Interestingly, these no-star players are often re-routing CVs as well.

Why is that?  How does gaming the system to get the stars make me not a spy?

thats a bit overboard. I'm in a Navy squad with guys that have been here for years and none of us care about the stars, a lot only come in the MA after FSO but some of us do tool around the MA. Your going to tell us we can't move a ship because we don't have stars, wtf ever.

[Nashorn]

I don't even know where the hell my star came from, can anyone let me know? and what is there significance?

Stars are meaningless, it only is an indicator one has done the achievements.  Tying restrictions on game play or a player based on the amount of achievements they've completed is to put it mildly, dumb.
