I thought the 12-12-1   situation this morning was good fun,  it was like a defacto early-mid war fighter scrap between the Bish and nits.

Needless to say my LA5  scared them all off    :uhoh

Change sides.  Bish fly with high eny.  Not anyone's fault that rooks aren't on.  You can go knit, rook or bish.  Fly together if you are rook.

Suck it up Sally. Some people play when they can. Not anyone's fault.

How about two countries?  Change a few things around to make it work.

I know someone will say "tried that, didnt work"

The situation is a little different now.

Maybe adjusting side switch times to an hour or two while there are less then 30 players on.

Side switching is always laced with players who are seeking a fight where they can score big numbers while vulching.  Rarely do players switch to help the underdog.

I have been swapping to low number side every time I have logged in since returning. However the last week has been 100% rook due to overwhelming odds

The problem with Rooks, to my way of thinking, is they lack an identity.  They need a new brand.  Let's face it, Robby the Rook isn't cutting it anymore.

                                     

And recent attempts at building a new brand identity have fallen somewhat short.  The logo for the failed "Rook Nation" movement looked more like a playing card from a children's cardgame:


And consultations with leading design firms produced images, that while elegant, lacked the necessary power and aggression.


Others took the aggressive aspect a little too far:


The search goes on for a logo that combines strength with the power and determination underlying Rook culture:

This afternoon I was flying in the current map after installing my new video card. The sun was going down and the way it hit the mountains? It really looked stunning, that and a new moon coming up.

I think the game looks terrific and it plays as good as it ever did. Ive tried a lot of sims and always liked this flight model best. Even with the old card the game looked dang good, I cant help but think theres a real good chance things will pick up a lot. We now have almost everything we ever wanted in a flight sim so Im feeling positive we'll pick up new and returning members.

Im not wealthy either and upgrading this box is no small thing for me just like building or buying a new one isnt for most of us. But I think that AH3 was a good middle ground for graphics quality and adjustment for older machines. Its really a great upgrade with a fantastic selection of vehicles, weapons, and airplanes to pick from.

He is wrong there.  Everyone has their own reasons, but I would bet that half the switchers do it to help the underdog.
As a long-time, non-vulching, underdog-helping side switcher, that's my two million pesos.

the rules need to be changed so a single player has more impact on field captures. With all the resupplying going on bombing anything feels like a waste of time.
