Need More Rooks

[bozon]

No.
Every player that switches to Rook is one less target and one more green that I need to race for the kills.

Rooks welcome C47 pilots that will switch and act as target magnets.

The problem with the one hour rule is not the spies.  It is switching countries to find a fight that makes for low risk, easy kills.  Side switchers are rarely interested in winning a map.  There are those that switch to help defend bases but they are a minority.

I think a lot of the bish numbers comes from player just interested on being on the winning side.  Odd though, it has to be the most boring play in the game.  Often you will see giant red dar bars across the maps and no greens.  They are just hovering over their base waiting on a stray green or sweeping the area for  rare GVs.  I just as soon the bish and knits keep those players.

If you want to fly with high eny or fight with over whelming numbers and have to wait for a fight then by all means stay bish or knight. If you want more enemy to shoot at and more battle action and up all aircraft then I would strongly suggest flying rook for awhile. The more competitive the game becomes the better it is to play. The ones that live for easy kills should stay with the country that has a 2 or 3 to 1 advantage.

If you want to fly high ENY planes (and rack up crazy perks) against overwhelming numbers, fly rook.

I could have sworn that it was rooks attacking knights from A18 to A55 yesterday-and not watching their back door when bish took A18 while there were still rooks fighting knights--then knights where fighting knights from A18 to A55. rooks and knights fight every day.

so if I were to switch from knights to r or b I would be expected to spy? I don't play that way. I fly for the country I'm on.

zero just throwing this out there, you ever wonder if the reason the rooks have low numbers is because those who left dont want you there?

Rooks were fighting Knit in the air over A55 and couldn't be bothered to defend against Bish GVs at A18. Then the Bish took A55 too with tanks, while the Rooks and Knights were still dogfighting in the air. For a few minutes we had a glorious 3-sided air combat.

The fun ended when the Bish capture A55 because the Knits did not have a nearby air base and the Bish don't put up much of a fight in the air.

But we had a fun fight at V150 after that, i think i had my sherman parked under a tree for two hours picking off Bish tanks and M3:s rolling onto the base..

Truth.  Lol.  A squad that for the last 12 to 18 months made it a mission to piss off as many people as possible now asks for people to help out and make the game fun? How does that bed you made feel?

[Zimme83]

Rooks arent so bad, there are some pretty good sticks on the Rook side. And pipz.

I am a proud 49'er. I would not have remained in the game if not for them. They have taught me so much about the game. No one is trying to piss anyone off. I can't, of course, speak for individual members because it is such a huge squad. But our primary focus is always to have a good time, not to make people angry.

And anyone who has a problem with Mr. Zero is gonna have a problem with me. 

[redcatcherb412]

Rooks aren't going to fight the knights anyway so what difference does it make?

The sheer number of times i've been killed by dr7  at a spawn renders that statement moot for me

You got some very big squads that are loyal to one country. Why? I have no idea. When they have their squad nights or just nighttime US rooks do get out numbered. These squads should switch once a week month or something.

The problem is when the switches happen they aren't cross squad cordinated so you end up with a lot on Knights or rooks or bish all at the same time. POTW switched rook a few months back because a lot of squads came to knight land.....right now the issue is arguably the 3 largest most active squads for prime time are all on Knights currently (JG11, POTW, G3MF) HTC couldn't control that....we just got to deal with it until side switch time is lowered...which absolutely would help ENY these days.
