I take it you can't hit anything with an 88.   :D

I can fire one of those things all day long and not hit a target.

What you say about age related losses might be true, but I have seen the number creeping up not declining the last few months. I do see the same doomsayers here every time I log on though. I would love to see them leave other than continually complaining about the game.


Take a look around you. How many players have we lost in the last six months to essentially age-related illnesses in addition to those that have left giving good reasons for doing so.

All you lot can seem to come up with is "If you don't like it leave". Genius    :)

I conversely see the same naysayers poo-pooing any constructive suggestion or appeal for change with conservative, poorly-observed analysis. I would love to see them realise that if it ain't broke don't fix it only applies when it ain't broke.

That makes us both dreamers Rvflyer.

Also worth pointing out that even if it ain’t broke does not mean you should not improve it!!

so Thursday am I log in about 7:45am est.  bish have 14 (including me) rooks 7 and knights 5.  map has been up less than an hour (riftval map).  bish had pushed to about 12% knight fields with rooks attacking the knight front.  I change to knights thinking I will get some fights in the air (as most mornings until about 11am are spent fighting ground guns and wirbs).  NOPE less than 20 mins laters all but me and oldcoot was left on the knight side.  2 against 17.  so now I have a choice as I am stuck for 6 hours and nothing to do.  262s cost less than 40 perkies I upped a few but it was pointless.  tried ground guns as the bish was deacking fields so as to not be able to up fighters.  twice I launched from back base but to no avail as I arrived the field was all ready captured or soon after arriving was lost.  after about 10 sorties of various planes and tactics I just logged off.  I mean even if bish started attacking rooks, with 2 people left on what are we gonna do?  they could leave behind 2 guys and still have a worthy horde as to continue to roll bases on the rook front and defend against loosing any on the knight front. 

gameplay really needs to be looked at.  I mean as a new player coming to an environment like that even if I got off the ground I wouldn't stay.  as a player looking for something other than the "win" I wouldn't stay.  the numbers this am really show the dissolvement of the game play.

That's my biggest issue, I would not mind switching more often, but if the fight dies or that side becomes the more populated one, I'm stuck there for 6 more hours.

Don’t bother switching. You get called a spy and a cheater for 5 hours as the team continues to loose bases then others drag fighters to you as you try to bomb a town for them. Then when the base take fails your incited by quotes like why don’t you get the f&:;@ off our side. So again don’t bother switching.

+1. Side switch times should be determined based on #s on each side. Or 3 hours is a much more reasonable time. It sucks switching only for the tide to change 20 minutes later. Sometimes it's too hard to tell which team is winning because there is only 1 red dar in a sector.

Don’t bother switching. You get called a spy and a cheater for 5 hours as the team continues to loose bases then others drag fighters to you as you try to bomb a town for them. Then when the base take fails your incited by quotes like why don’t you get the f&:;@ off our side. So again don’t bother switching.

One guy tried to call me a spy while I killed the C47 coming  to steal their base and landed with 6 kills. After I told  him I did that, he still told me to go back to the other country. I proceeded to tell him to Bite me. What you think he did after that? Nothing.  :old:

Don't be afraid to tell them to shove it.
