Bish did take the Knights center v base the other day on ndisles before many people logged on, plenty of air fights but it did force the Knights and rooks to not have a good gv fight between them.

I suggest making tank town type fields uncapturable to protect the constant fights they provide. This would include  all the center bases of ndisles, The airfields and 1 v base a piece on ozkansas, and the v bases in craterma. Personally  I've never seen the need to take these fields in the first place, other then they can be easier to take because people aren't normally watching them for that.

I dont think TTs should be in the game. They defeat the purpose of tank use and the purpose of the MMO map. We should encourage more fighter plane type activity anyway. TT discourages all of that.

I fought over that damned base all day. And had a ball doing it. Great fights to be had in planes AND GV's.

Dude.  If they took away fighters, would you GV?  Same logic for them.  The only way to fix the lack of fighter action problem is to get more people, and hope they're not all GVer/bomber types.

I think all the tank towns have some of the best fighter fights in the game over them to include CraterMA because of the high alt fights it forces you to have. Ozkansas is the only big map I would hate to see go just because of it's center island. ndisles center island is addicting on the ground and in the air......spent hours of my life in that place.

As for GVs, I personally feel like you're missing out if you haven't spent some time in them...I know they can be boring to some  but just my opinion

Wiley.

if they took fighters away, I would logoff.  if gv'ers were taken their gvs they would also logoff.  you would get nothing except to cause people to logoff.

I logged in this morning for an hour.  16 bish 5 knights 2 rooks.   

I was like give me some of that Rook action  :eek:.  Got 8 kills in no time on Bish, from 4 guys attacking via CV.   

Squaddie Lefty then hollers  "Hey Bravvv we are on Bish".  I'm like no way bro they kinda outnumber everyone.   Then proceeded to kill a few more just because they thought they could help themselves to any old base on the map.  Including the vbase next to HQ so they could plunder it.   

Mark my words wherever there is an injustice in player #'s I'll be there taking names!

Just goes to show we need zero time limited switching off hours.

I have a couple of reasons

1. If fighters went away I wouldn't play the game anymore.

2. I hate tanks and always have. They are slow, driving them is boring, shooting them is boring, camping is boring, I just don't see the action packed excitement sitting in a tank pushing a trigger. Just my preferences.

3. I only have a small amount of time when I play. I'd rather be in the sky than driving around. I'd rather have an intense fighter fight than spawn camping noobs sitting still and quiet.

4. TTs take the majoirty of people who would up in a plane and transfers them to an area where they are not in planes, there is no darbar for tanks, so you don't really know how many people are fighting. The map looks dead. The map doesn't change because there are less fights in the outskirts because the majoirty of players are in tanks in TT, not visible on the map.

5. The majoirty of new players join the game for fighter action. If there is no appearance of fighter action on the map, they will log.

6. Basically you coupe up most of the players in one spot with no radar, or indication of a fight, there is little fighter action, no base taking to create fights, and the tankers aren't providing any support to the base take/defense part of the game.

If they're spending all their time in tanks, what on earth makes you think they'd up aircraft if the tanks/tank town were gone?

People that like to GV feel the same way.  Why alienate a very large portion of your player base?  It's stupid for game play and for business.

Yep, it's your preference but yet that isn't stopping you from trying to "convince" (i.e. force) people to play your way, even though it's at a cost to game play and possible customers.

3. I only have a small amount of time when I play. I'd rather be in the sky than driving around. I'd rather have an intense fighter fight than spawn camping noobs sitting still and quiet.

Again,that is your personal preference.  Some player's don't want to fly 15 minutes for a 2 minute fight and would rather meet up for quick ground action.

That is nothing but pure conjecture without any facts/stats to support it.

Basically, you only want people to play how you think they should play, not what you really think is best for the game and players.

Tankers provide a relevant source of income to HTC and help support your fighter habit.  Give them a break man.  To say they should be taken out of the game is childish really...
