If action on the rook side is low or in horde mode I will often fly to the Bish/Nit front with the biggest bar and mix it up. As long as it’s not more than five sectors or so I will just gas up a TA152 or a P47M and go do something to 15 minutes. I usually end up about 22K on the edge of the fight. I try to only go after the attackers but it’s not always how it goes.

It’s a lot of fun I highly recommend it… I’ve yet to make it back and will do it again!

This is more a question for our cartographers, but perhaps they can design maps that have more three country opportunities. I know many of them do but they don’t always get three sided action. The NDIsles middle is a good example of where it happens a lot. Until of course, when country takes them all so maybe we could make more bases that cannot be captured in three side areas. Perhaps more huge bases that are harder to take. I’m not sure if the current maps could be adjusted.

Do all countries bases always have to start in a group? Using the North America Map could a country have starting fields around Florida and pockets near Oregon?

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!

Instead of a tank town, have an fighter town in the middle. Surrounded by 40K mountains so nobody can run. The 3 bases there are uncapturable and will have a 15K air spawn in the middle of fighter town

I might have spoke it into the universe but the fights at P7 and the surrounding fields on the Baltic map was pretty fun tonight with all three countries mixing it up. Rooks managed to steal the port at some point and the DWeeds even did a a fly by!

Baltic is my #1 favorite all time map btw. ND is #2. Love the old schools.

More three sided fights!

Bish held up pretty good at V11, until their horde showed up....but ya, if you couldn't find action you were flying via braille.

What the game has going for it is that competitors don't have

2) It has a PTO plane set


Scratch that AH and WT ( I really don't count WT as a SIM) are no longer the only ones with a PTO.

At least AH still has the largest and most comprehensive plane set for both PTO and ETO

Now I need to go watch training videos to learn to start the big blue bent wing Beauty before my download completes.
