Flying with the squaddies no matter what we are doing pegs the fun meter. 

^^^This

Being in a squad makes the game what it is...

I start by looking for furballs...if I cant stir up a furball I will start hunting for gvs to bomb...if air cover messes up my bomb****ing...I'll bring a fighter back until I create a furball or until they get tired of being killed (I never get tired of dying if that's what transpires)...Ill continue the air attack on the gvs until I grow tired of it and up a tank to die in....

Killed a Tiger in a F8 the other day with 2 rockets to the side  :rock

I don't really like playing the game unless I can sit down for about 4 hours...

     I log in to my squad channel and see who is on.  While I listen to the chatter in the background I am checking the map for who is winning and where the large dar furballs are.  Dependent of the chatter and mood of the channel and country I will:
     Look for bases to attack or defend which are NOT in large dar areas.  Why go where people already are, be suprising!
     Check map topography for missions which will help the country in some strategic way. (Check bmbr clearances & GV roads)
     Ask if anyone on channel is up for Round Robins. (A very FUN way to play the game!!! Ask a 49er for details)
     POST MISSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Most people just want competent coordination.  Post one only if u know what your doing,
                or no one will ever join you again.  It's like you get blacklisted for being ignorant.
     

     The 49th FG is back to the Knights until Halloween and we run missions all the time!  Please, fell free to join us.  If we're not already running a mission like the same aircraft lineups you mentioned; ask us to and we will.  Usually, every mission we run in aircraft are started that way.  Round Robins are also something you would greatly ENJOY!!!  I play 7 days a week for at least 5 hours a day and shockingly still have a girlfriend and sex-life.  I would suggest you join a squad though, or at least find one to hang out with.  The 49th, when not functioning together, are usually in different tactical sets of 3 to 6 people.  Meaning, some will be winged up dog fighting, some will be bombing, some will be GVing, and some will inevitably be on a road trip deep behind enemy lines sending postcards from their strats.  We do to much to write here, you should definitely check us out again if you have been found wanting.  That goes for anyone else who reads this as well.  We usually have 2 or more people online from 7am to 3 am, (yes that's 20 hours a day).

Merlin does have a job too even though he wont admit it  :cool:

My hours are limited as of late due to work being short staffed and me working a ton of doubles.

When im not super busy I get on about 7am till 930-10am 5 days a week and on my "weekend" i log about 5 hours each day.

I always look at vox then map and find a fight weather its furball, base take, defence or anything really since im on during the slow hours. And as merlin said round robins are the best part of the game IMO. Everyone get the opportunity to fly their prefered ride and prefered mission type.

B, C, then roll a GV

I am usually online 1-1.5 hours, then I log off.
If I log on late in the evening I may go 2 hours.
GV'ing makes ya hungry     :D

G-- I check to see how the 3 countries are doing, what their strat status is, and either choose a strat run accordingly or up something that will make proper use of strat damage already accomplished.
It's more fun to fly with squaddies, but it's more productive to do something that helps my side as a whole. So I'll do the former last, the latter first.

Oh, how long do I play at a sitting? Maybe 2-3 hours 2x a day (more so now that my wife is in Europe). Flying buffs takes time!
