Make May your auto assign month and see if it helps game..

...or continue to whine while doing nothing..

Me thinks many like to whine while actually contributing to the problem..

I already explained why that doesn’t work, with math, UNLESS when you switch you start battles in the silent front of countries gang banging an not fighting each other, at all.

Explain to me how switching to a full country hording mass just to join them solves the problem.

When you switched it was to a country that was actually gang banging us and you were in the herd we had to fight. How did that help? Good intensions, bad iutcome?

Not that my opinion matters much..

I may snivel about some things, kick a trash can here and there, but I’ll always give credit when its due.

Easter primetime MA >IMO< was played as the game was designed. 3 good battles on all 3 fronts, approx average 31 players in each battle. Ya can’t blue print that kinda stuff. It would be    great if that became the average norm, within reason.

One interesting increasing trend is those avoiding offensive attacks nearly 100% of the time..  Good for the score if you care about such things but not so good for the game.  Still, it is your dime.

I’m definitely not a proponent of two countries but I’m also wondering why nobody tries to fight all three. Anytime there is a Bish/Knight full sector dar bar that is a reasonable distance away. I will fly to it and get the mix. I don’t see a lot of other people doing this. They’ll be a lot of times where this is happening a sector away and still, nobody will go get in the way.

I will even go AFK for a few if it’s farther than a couple sectors just to get in the mix. Usually I will only attack the attacking country, but that’s never guaranteed since everyone will come after me eventually anyway. Sometimes I come in way too high and fast and just turn into a dart the minute I get there which is always a chuckle for me and I’m sure for them too.

I highly recommend everyone else. Try to find more opportunities to get in the mix and have three country fights.

Perhaps our map makers should start taking this into consideration when they make new maps and update old ones. Build more concentrations where it’s easier for the three countries to get mixed up.

Possibly good for kill ratio but terrible for score, half the scoring is offensive damage related

How do players feel about two countries battling one country? 

Knits were under two country attack during the day yesterday.  Then Rooks were being attacked by the Knits and Bish during prime time.  Hoarding was going on for sure but as a Rook, when we could hold off both countries pushed game pace really high.

Last night before my quest disconnected me, auto assign as a knight you couldn't buy a fight..

Set a buff on auto climb straight to enemy and you will find a fight.

[Animl-AW]

No worries. Bish right back at it, I just logged and did something ekse.

Its the nature of the game, each side is trying to win and will take the easiest route to capturing bases.  If you are good at defending against two nations then your team stands a much better chance of winning the map when the numbers swing to your favor.  Each side has a prime time.
I am typically fighting an entire team by myself while the rest of the team is busy on the other team.  While I'm not capturing anything I am being extremely effective in keeping the bases we do have.  I've been killing you alot lately as a side switcher on the lowest team getting double teamed...

What am I missing? when you auto switch you go to team with fewest player not the most. Never have a problem finding a fight. I take pleasure in attacking teams who have 22% your fields and only 70% theirs.

I have never heard of this game until I just saw someone post about it in a War Thunder thread on Twitter, so I came to check it out.

A few questions:

1. What is a milk run?
2. I am well acquainted with fighting outnumbered. I've been outnumbered by as much as 7 to 1 in War Thunder realistic battles and still won. But is there an area where new players can learn the game without being dropped in the grease from the outset?
3. How many people are allowed in a squadron? Is that the primary source of the one-sided battles?

Thanks in advance for any answers,
Gomez

Welcome Gomez.

1.  Milk run is a mission, usually in bombers, to get "perk points"  that deliberately avoids combat by targeting a remote area of the map or flying at very high altitude.  The milk runner doesn't really contribute to his team's success, only to his own.

2.  There are training areas, but are usually unpopulated.  Try logging on during prime time (Eastern Time evenings) to avoid being outnumbered.  Most players are happy to offer help with the technical and strategic aspects of the game.

3.  Maximum squad size might be 32... or something.

Thanks!

I'll check that out.
