As long as you can swap back to your "home" country before the Loyalist are on! I hate hearing non stop accusations of Spying and Cheating. That does alot to hinder any desire to swap countries. Just saying, it can ruin any fun pretty quick.

From my recent experience, I have yet to experience much grief for switching countries. Then again I am not to terribly concerned with winning the war.

I'd say you don't need to make a single player have more effect on base capture as much as you "need" jobs for single players to do that give the illusion of accomplishing something. I always thought that was why HQ got zapped so often, not malice as much as being the biggest target for an individual that had any consequence. Beating the crap out of an airfield with a tank feels good, so something like that. (maybe killing trains having some kind of easy to observe effect?)

I hate to say this but the Rooks are slowly turning into a knit like country.  Sad but true.  We had A1 ready for capture but could not get anyone to bring troops.

I tried about 4 times Randy and so did others. These stalemates happen more often then not and always did, and always will. We faced a determined enemy and just had a big slugfest. I flew fighter support, flew bombers to keep hangers/town, and most of all spawn hangar at next base down, ran supps, did everything but mop the floor. The defense was very good and they resupplied every chance they got.

A1 was no failure. It was a big gun fight like we used to have and no matter what you were doing you were going to fight. AND it lasted for hours. Yeah it would have been nice to grab, and we came close, but It was old time fun. No failures at A1 last night.

I ask people all the time if they want to join our squad....you are 100% right about squads are the driving force of the game...you are also right about the shade thing...I believe that 80% or more of the new names I see are actually old vets coming back...not interested in joining a squad

I think the AH3 is awesome...and as Silent said yesterday to me "in this game you actually have to shoot" 

My new computer will be ready by Frame 2 of FSO next Friday... ....but I have been having no problems playing with my FR 20 to 40 normally hanging right at 28FPS...the needing a super computer to play AH3 excuse doesn't work...

Now a short lesson on how to find a fight with low numbers and a high ENY...
     1. Find an enemy base that is within a sector of a friendly base.
     2. Select 190F8 with large bomb and 12 rockets from hanger.
     3. Takeoff and climb at 2000 FPM WEP on until 5 or 6K.
     4. Drop bomb on town and use rockets to deack.
     5. If no one has upped by now, bail and come back.
     6. By now there is a GV waiting for you...bomb him or shoot at him with rockets if its a tank(don't screw around with wirbs...bomb them)
     7. If the wirb has killed you, come back...you are fighting someone at least...bomb or rocket the crap outta him.
     8. If you are tired of the wirb...get a TU2 with the 2 x 1 ton bombs and the 4 500s...drop the VH with the big bombs and hit town again...
     9. With the VH down now...the manned gun heros are watching you...they will now up a fighter to kill your TU...but they don't realize the capability of the TU as a fighter...
     10. With these steps...you can find a fight at ANY TIME WITH ANY AMOUNT OF PLAYERS ON!!!!!  This tactic only takes about 30 min to work...by the time you get the town deacked there is usually a fighter or gv ready to throw down...

You can use your imagination and come up with any fighter/attack - bomber combo to do this with....

I was on the other day...there were 22 people in flight...I picked a base started running F8s and TUs and ended up with a furball, first me against like 4 nits, then friendly's saw it and started coming...it turned into a fight that lasted probably 4 hours

Only problem with this is you pretty much admitted you bomb and bail...I personally when doing attack runs(190F8 is probably my favortie plane in game) like to RTB...a lot of times ack gets me or what not but when I can I like to RTB for immersion into the game. When hitting a base I will knock out troops at adjacent fields, but by the time I have done that, RTBed, Flew over to drop town, its already coming back up. Some would say that you should attack the M3s but most know how easy it is to kill 12 M3s in 1 sortie with PB1 rockets from and F8....thats not a fight. And here is where we have disagrrement, I dont think that you can always find a fight in AH...because certain game mechanics allow people more interested in keeping fields then fighting over them to avoid combat with others....Man guns, M3 town resupply ect ect

If Falcon23 were here, he'd get some missions running and get this going again!

Rooks qualify for a Jerry Lewis style Telethon.  Rooks = Jerry's kids.

[save]

In the F8 you can kill acks at 10k+ alt agl with rockets. 2 SAP bombs and VH should be toast. Do not bring more fuel than you need to loiter max 5-8 minutes over target.

I believe you are wrong there.

I believe you are right, believing he is wrong

It is cool - but I can't take credit for any of those images - all found through searches.  The Raven ("Rook" in English terms, I understand) grabbing the Knight is some gang-related graphic a real artist did for Assassin's Creed, IIRC.

I dont know where all the Rooks have gone but its definitely affecting the game. I think a lot are bailing due to disorganization and becoming Bish. Is there even any Rooks squads anymore?

No self-respecting Rook would jump to the Bish side.

European lives matter.

Well I havnt yet but my self respect continues to drop. The Rooks were once a Force and now were like the Italian army.
