Those darn tool shedders!! See what you have done!!??

Zimme this is just part of the game.

I hate people who bomb the FHs too, and still don't capture it,  believe me!

This is the time you up a 262 from a nearby base and go defend the other.


 Vulching is just part of the game. People always be desperate for kills.  This game is pretty close to war like battle and strategies and if a group shuts down a base that's just the way it is. That's what makes this game challenging. Unfortunately it can ruin the good fight and make it boring sometimes.

The key is for your Team not to let that happen.

Don't up at a capped base or you will get shot, just like in real times.  

It's a tough game. People have no mercy. Ack has no mercy.

You really have to play it with a war mentality and never expect it to be fair.

11 Bish vs 62 nits and rooks.

If it's any consolation to you, countries are taking turns on a regular base now. This is 5 minutes ago:




With decreasing numbers, imbalances are fluctuating more wildly than they did before. Better get used to it. In this example Nit numbers remind me of EW...

Some of these replies are a great example as to why people leave this game.

Some game play issues are going to have to be looked into if this game is going to continue.  The OP has a legitimate complaint and it is possible that the 12 hour rule change, or something like could help. Also the issue of HQ being bombed and losing dar. I spent 6 hours flying Saturday.  Unfortunately half that time was is 12-15 minute runs to re supply HQ. Certainly not a fun time. I could understand if it really has some tactical use, but on a small map like that the front line is only a couple bases. You knew where they were coming in well enough,  you just didn't know the strength.

If the fun is being sucked out of playing by a few players why would the rest continue to pay to play?

swings and roundabouts,

would be nice to be able to switch a little quicker to even out the tragedy!   Hell I'd love to swap bish (pukes in mouth a little) for a 11 vs 62 fight.  :banana:

I heard a rumor that most Bishop pilots are homeless and play on stolen laptops at free wifi hotspots.  This may explain why they are more active during the daytime.  :D

It's a good thing you put the qualifier "most" in that statement.  I think my setup is a bit more...complex than a laptop.   ;)

Of course I'm not really a "bish" pilot....I only fly with them because there are so many targets to choose from with the knit / rook hordes come rolling in every evening.  :D

Not the gameplay itself thats is the main problem,  i dont excpect people to be fair or honest, im not. Its rather the soemtimes huge imbalances in numbers that cause the problem. Bish is not the team that suffers most from being outnumbered i know but i think we need another way of balancing the teams. One team getting gang banged and the other team only able to run brews and bostons is not a good way of keeping new players.
