Perk the manned gun kills

[Eagler]

For that to happen your opponent has to have a spine and actually fly out of his ack umbrella which is why I am there in the 1st place..it is not to take a base usually just to a2a..

Nights as a knight has become boring as sadly neither rook or bish seem to want to fight them and are happy playing by themselves..

This is usually 8 to 9 pm est

Another reason the game should be reduced to two sides and not three imo

My opinion is that if you're in a manned gun and die it should show up against your KTD ratio.  Don't want to up and fly?  Cool.  someone will figure out how to do a low level attack to deack the field before the next wave comes in.  It would require a team effort but sometimes those are fun as i recall especially during squad nights.

I imagine if the kills counted, so would the deaths.

I'm all for it.  Once you enter the arena if you die you die.  Learn not to die.  I never quite mastered that art LOL.  But I also never looked at score.  I was here for the fun, the fights, and the camaraderie.  Nothing got me jazzed like an FSO, a squad night, or a scenario.  Oh sure I'd play in the main mainly the AVA.  But for the most part the first three were what I gravitated to and will again soon

How about putting an icon over manned guns if they are being manned?

I liked it before when there was no GV dar.

All for dropping that and going with 2k or 3k icons

You posted your all about that Air 2 Air game


why you care about GV icons? just curious

I for one care because half the time there's only GV and no air cons to attack, and sometimes I just feel like flying a 110 and sending the GVers to the tower.

Why is it so hard for people to wrap their heads around the fact that we just want to dogfight? Any time people like me aren't dogfighting is just because there are no dogfights to be found.

So go into the hosted H2H rooms and dogfight it up.

And let's be honest everyone's opinion of a dogfight differs. Most want to dogfight when they out number someone. A large majority run when they lose the advantage, usually to the base ack/wingman.


If you want a straight up nothing but furball dogfights then go into the DA, host a server, go into a hosted server, show up for Monday night madness, attend FSO. Advertise that you're interested in doing this and then go do it. Like minded folks will probably show up.


This game is a lot of FUN. But with the lack of teamwork and the selfish actions of mostly 98% of the players this game is slowly dying. Most have gone to other games to get their dose of combat gaming action. The teamwork, the looking out for fellow players instead of just using them as bait because your worried about getting your name up in lights and a bunch of strangers possibly telling you WTG on 200 and country chat.

It's actually large maps like BowlMA right now which will stay up for the next 5 days that are killing off the players. No wants to look at huge map with flashing bases and no dar bars. Majority don't even know where to go to find action. You fly 5 minutes to a field only to insta die by ack trying to get somethint going. No one rolls to fight you and you get bored and log. The only players left are strategy players who could give a F less about a fun fight. Just gang with your boys 4 on 1 the single lonely guy who wants to fight and go back to playing with yourselves. You think most will stick around long for that? At least with a smaller map there are areas where fight gets bigger due to choke points and players knowing where the battles are. People want big battles.

I'm glad you are all proud of running off the dog fighters and people who want to play for air combat action. Congratulations! Now we are left with the 40 players who fly B26s at 90k to bomb towns or sit in wirbles shooting towns and watching grass grow. The game would have been much more populated if it was geared toward fighter combat action instead of tanks and large maps that are bare during off hours.

I always try to give weight to opinions on threads like this to the amount of play time of the poster. Do they play a lot, or occasionally.  Adjust the weight accordingly.

I went back SIX months.  You have 29 sorties in that time. It would be more but you haven't played in at all this tour.

With six days to go I have 228 sorties in a fighter.

Forgive me if your opinion is taken with a grain of salt

You don't play the game..
