No, you like it to horde (hog, monopolize) boats then side switch to sink them and vice versa.   

Now that's funny

There is a pretty solid core of guys that use auto switch to find fights too.  Doesn't have anything to do with points on my end.

It isn't like the person has intentionally switched just to get you....  it is a feature I use... sometimes it can actually be a real pain in the you know what.... I do find though, that I am always fighting beside a green team mate so still a team player so to speak  :P

You do it all the time.   You fight to sink a boat then side switch and take it over when it respawns, killing good fights for HOURS as you drive it off to nowhere -- only to get it sunk again any way.

Pretty much agree with lutrel and CAV and I fly only Knights. What comes to point system, haven't even bothered to find out how it works and how to gather them, as they are totally insignificant for me; I'm in AH just to have some fun. Or to get pissed...    :D

I prefer side switching :salute to GIANT ENY’s

Besides, you get to chat with the switchers.

I'll occasionally switch if there is no fight on my front. But try to avoid going right back to the same battleas the other country if on auto switch

Same, lots of good, honest pilots on Knights.

Then again, good honest pilots don't live very long, compared to points farmers like TheJudge and company.  :rofl

Still. I'd rather fight an uphill war, it feels better to me.

All sides are more alike than different. Every side has its good and bad. I usually fly Knights, but then they are usually low number when I am on.

It appears certain individuals in this thread are unaware that you cannot control when or to what country you are automatically switched.

Then again.... you can switch to any country you want if you don't use autoswitch. Points mean nothing.

Never thought much about it when I auto switched and then were fighting those I was just fighting with until someone here whined about it...

I still don't as finding a decent fight is the priority the hour I am on, not taking some base nor winning some map...
