It use to happen once in a while but it is now more common than not, albeit last night was the exception.  It happened because the bish were one base from map win.  The Rooks were stalled on the bish front.  The knits took advantage of that and took their bases back from the bish.

Most other nights two countries pound the third country to sub 50% base holdings while holding 100% of their own bases.

I do remember when I first joined AH that countries and opposing squads would work together to either stop the third country from winning a map or we would help each other to finish off a map.

I stay rook but at least one night a week or when there is no action, I will routinely take a Ta152 or a 47M several sectors away to mix it up with the other sides. I usually only go after the attackers but it’s not always possible when they all come at me. I’ve done this dozens of times and never once made it back alive lol. Sometimes I get too greedy and immediately lawn dart lol. I will still do it again and again anyway because it’s a lot of fun.

Would like to see more maps with fluid country layouts that’s promote more three country play but that’s not super easy with three sides. I had GPT make mock ups a while ago but I didn’t like them either lol. But that’s was several models ago maybe I will give it another go.

Oh and… all small maps and only two countries would be even less fun for most players.

Did that last night in a Hellcat.  It certainly does guarantee you opponents.  Fun!

Problem is, knits have zero large squads to put up against all the large squads that are in rooks or bish,... so no matter what, it's horde against a fractured group. Totally burned out on that situation. Many are,.. another 10 logged tonight instead of fighting a sqd horde.

I just logoff, ...until I don't log in anymore.

I may just fly scenarios only.

[Busher]

IMO, don’t care who is dealt it, ganging is putrid and causes players to log off.

Or leave the game permanently.

[Animl-AW]

Or leave the game permanently.

Yep, it DOES cause that.

It's only $15, I can get selective for that and not kill the sub

Does me almost zero good to promote it when the heroine game play just chases them out. It's fubar. Everyone will snivel, the horders excuse it away, and then everyone will go straight back to repeat mode. Pretty sad actually. No update or tweak can change that. Only numbers can, and it's an oxymoron (log offs) that stops numbers from hitting critical mass. It's a serious bad cycle. Said this the first month back, their own worst enemy is from within. It ain't HTC

[Animl-AW]

BTW, they are all good peeps,... but they better get off the crack before it all slips away.

At least AKs rotate countries, which does hep us every 3 months.

Everyone should try rotating countries, even just once per month.  They will find out that there are good people and bad on all three sides.

Well said sir, but I have half of my squad that would refuse to switch. Seems to me the Knights don't have any problem setting up a horde of their own, but don't appear to want to defend against one.

Taking our bases back.

No reality is they ate burned iut on 7-1 or nothing at all., they are logging off. There is no better proof than that.
Not even going to debate the obvious. It us what it is, and nit not going to stop
Probably AHs problem all this time.

We’re just re recruiting clay pigeons for large squads who milk run and gang more often than not. That is avoiding equal force.

These squad nights of 4-5 squads just gang and milk run as one massive 2-3 mass on each sid on one base.

Like I said, excuse it away, blame something else, and rinse and repeat.

Dies me no good to stay online when half our force logged.

If no one is defending why is 2 bars on one base?

Whatever, no fun is still no fun, logging iff is still logging off. Numbers being hurt is still nbers being hurt

A new guy comes in, meets two nights if gang bangs, he’s gone. Fact

[Animl-AW]

Put it short
The players logging, do not give one  flying rats butts what the excuse are anymore.
Sick of being clay pigeons so someone else has the fun.

It was Sik Puppies squad night last night. I spent most of the night fighting under a Rook attack with about half of my squad, while the other half was attacking a coastal base on the Knight front. Was it all fun and games? Nope I think I got 2 kills vs 10-15 deaths..... most picks because Im still working on getting the views set in VR. But I got to hang out with my squadies as well as a bunch of other Bish who are fun to hang out with. We did stop the Rooks from advancing but didnt get the base from the Knits, at least while I was on. Not a bad couple of hours.

I saw that. But its not about me, I’ll stay and attack source bases. But none if this mattes be use its nightly and those logging do not care about excuses no fun us no fun. But when my fir e leaves I might as well too. This is whats misunderstood, the excuses matter not, they view the map and off they go. Can’t blame em. Doesn’t matter if last night was better, its already grown roots. See nothing but two bars on one base each side,…zap they’re gone


Nothing personal, but the patterns show this has probably been #1 issue for nu
for many yrs. Average is 10-15 log when it starts. And some knits leaving to join the big squads in other countries so they can at least win once in a while, which makes it worse

It us what it is, its not about me, its about watching numbers being destroyed.

Not sure if that was intentional or not of your larger squad dividing up and speading the action, but If it was... thank you. I THINK if these larger squads take that type of thing into consideration when there is a larger group online, it will help level out some undesirable gameplay for both sides.

[uptown]

That will help tremendously I do believe. My hat's off to the Puppies. Now someone talk to the Jokers.

Or everyone goes to one of two of the 3 chess pieces and the battle is along one huge front..
