country stereotypes ??

[WEZEL]

Hello my name is WEZEL and I am a Knight, I like to kill red guys 
































































































what were we talking about again 

[Zerstorer]

Indeed. If you wanna provocate any of us, start an other thread in the o'club and stop hijacking this one. None of us will refuse to take part in your little game. Til' then, leave this thread alone. Danke.

No one was trolling you, Debrody, at least not initially. I disagreed with you.

I do not see a difference between the sides... Not a significant one at any rate.

Ignore him. He's just a grumpy stubborn Hungarian.

Absolutely, little shade.

There’s not that much difference between countries….Yes there is.

The Bish do horde, but they do it well. They’re a lot more together when it comes to taking fields. It’s true, they have motivated people that the rest take notice of and they take fields well. Moreover they take fields back very well. Their defence however is not that frightening.

The Knights have the best permanent pilots, taking out the crew who swap regularly. The hard core Knights who are always Knights are potentially the best pilots in game. I’m not sure that war winning is high on their agenda though. That said, the permanent Knights don’t have to take fields. They fight better in one v one’s than the Bish.

You have to factor in squads and individuals who go from country to country (notwithstanding the 12 hour rule). They don’t count in this opinion. I wish some of the hardcore country loyal crew would swap occasionally. It would be good to get to know them.

The Rooks? No idea. Mirror analysis is pointless. We seem to almost be OK in taking fields but that improves markedly when crew are focussed. I see some good sticks in Rooks, but I don’t know what they’re like to fight against. We changed to Knights for a month or so when the v-crew became Rooks and one night I flew Bish because, because…..I forget.

That’s only an opinion over 73 tours. Others have a far greater sample range to gather info. There is a lot more ack hugging and running away now. There’s a far greater percentage in GV’s now which is detracting from the core of the game. The numbers seem to be dwindling ever so slowly, though just one red guy not running or circling ack is all that’s required.

The big maps are fairly redundant now. It is better with the small maps and everyone crammed in. It makes for mayhem and chaos which is good.

For mine, I don’t care for graphics updates. They’re fine, but obviously it has to be done to attract more players. I'm also not enamoured with any additional aircraft being added. I would though like the field ack halved, the maps in rotation halved in size, the scores not to be re-set every tour, the amount of GV spawns halved. I get concerned that one day I am going to log on and Aces High won’t be there.

I don’t play any other game on line (or off for that matter). I would hazard a guess and say numbers have gone done by 60% over the past few years. Unfortunate that the silent majority that enjoy the game and the friendships have to suffer the “inner circle” with their repeat posts and use of emoticons as a substitute for thought and word.

I've said it before, and I will say it again....

The AK's rotate each tour to a different country.  Other than the stalwarts who are country loyal, all 3 chess pieces are the same.  All sides have the same whines about the other.  It's really funny actually.  If it weren't for the loyalists, IMHO, I couldn't tell you what country I am flying with.  Others may feel differently, but I have been flying since 2006, and for the first 2 years, I was on a squad that was nit only.  I was glad when I joined the AK's because they rotated. 

If you are country loyal, you really need to reconsider as you are missing out on a great part of the game.  Country loyal players tend to develop an "us" against "them" attitude.  When you rotate, even if infrequently, it relieves a lot of tension you may feel for your adversary.  It's really hard to be a giant sphincter to someone on 200, because he may be the one who is giving you a check 6 next week. 

I have used this analogy before.  It's like that Friday after thanksgiving flag football game you play with your friends.  You choose sides, and play your heart out.  Afterwards you  and talk about the great plays... plays both sides made. 

It's a game people, not war.  There is no "them", only "us".

YMMV

I was said country loyal player. I joined and was randomly assigned the rooks I ended up after 2 months in an old rook loyal side. I started to develop a hate towards pilots that smacked me over and over again. Until a a squadie of mine and another rook player had a word war and my countryman was reported by their whole squad and squelched did we deside to leave the rooks. I agree that leaving ur country can and does alleviate a Lot of the hate, that being said I am still new to the game at a year and a half and there are better players, I now take a loss as a learning exp and know that I may win the next fight. Those enemy's I had early on are now motivation to get better.

if some players are giant sphincters as you say, switching countries wont really do anything to change them.  there's more than a few people that rotate at will and they will never change.  you dont really have to change countries to make friends either.  I hardly ever change and I have a couple of friends here and there.

but I do agree that some people need to understand that it is just a game.  too many individual and squads will hold a grudge that is just laughable.

I have gotten into many arguments with some players here the bb for some reason or another.  and more than once I have gotten pm's from people  who are surprised when I stick around to help or defend them while flying in the ma.

and more than once I have gotten comments about how glad they are that I got shot down.  I just laugh about it.  go get a new airplane and forget about it.

I'm not country loyal! 








































As long as I'm not flying on bish.

So you have never flown with those friends. Gotcha, youre absolutely not missing any part of the fun this game offers 

Also the funny thing is, youre just one of "those" individuals
