I think earlier in AH, it was able to be taken down to 25% load out if the base was fully porked in terms of all the fuel bunkers.

Wish it still was that way.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Yeah and at the same time people would piss and moan people from the base back came in with altitude.

Porking fuel isn't wise, it keeps people out of the air, or pushes them higher climbing from a base back.

It's never really been a viable strategy, and sounds like the next worse idea since resupply.

If that were true you would not have the numbers you do. You have no problem finding a kill. You just want more than any game can supply.

You only play a razor slice of the game, tunnel vision. I have tiny numbers and have plenty of fun, never have a problem finding a fight at prime time.

Not everyone plays strictly fighter. The game is so much bigger than that. Expand.

We don't need an entirely different group of players (like GVers) to start whining about Skyyr.  They already call each other cheaters as it is  :rofl :rofl

I enjoy a good GV fight every now and then, but A2A is what I started playing this game for.  Not even the GV fights are as good as they used to be.  :(

Well, you guys are not adding to the current convo, you’re distracting from it. If we re not like you we suck. We get it. We’re not all like you.

I find it a lil disturbing that we all must do the goose step to complainers.

I don’t avoid combat I just like to make things more difficult for everyone.

It is and it would be nice to see some adjustments. The strats can be resupplied in mere minutes after someone spends significant time and effort to get to them; mountains, radar rings and clouds. 1.5 hr B-29 effort to get there was nullified before I left the ring…

Another hope would be to see some shore batteries repositioned; a couple bases I noticed don’t cover the most logical point of attack but they can hit land where a TG of course won’t be.

Love it otherwise, promotes fights quick enough  :aok

 :salute

Rotbaron, if you let me know which ones you are referring to, I'll try get them fixed.

Kong, weather is awaiting the update..... my bad I failed to included it in the upload to Hitech.

Maybe you're too good for this game and should find something with more challenge.

Almost looks staged.
1st time huh? You're starting to show something besides skill with gunnery. Almost suspect.

You can leave the thread now Mr. LookAtMe.

That's not true entirely, in the game's current player base however I would agree with you.

If that were true you would not have the numbers you do. You have no problem finding a kill. You just want more than any game can supply.

It is very easy to rack up a lot of kills when 90% of the players turn tail and run at the first sign of trouble. Afterall giving up your six to the enemy makes his job very easy if he can catch you.

I guess my point to Skyyr is more like, ....spending 6-9 yrs away (depending on who ya talk to) most likely playing other sims,.....then getting on knees to beg for a second chance in AH, just to come back and complain about everything and everyone? If he thinks the game sucks then why is he here, and why did he beg to come back? It's an oxymoron in my book,.... but,.. whateva blows their skirt up. If there's a better sim he should go there and stop complaining here. This is not rocket science. <shrug>
