ENY-Auto-Swap and two countries aginst one

[DmonSlyr]

 

Hording.   I always break guys balls about it in a fun way.   Especially when I'm flying for a country in the mornings when it's literally 25 v 5 at times.   But,  it is what it is.   Where I see the drawback is when new guys ( some just callsign changes) insist on ramming or HOing you when you choose to fly into the fray.  They have 10 fighters over your base against your 1 big slow mossie ( and yes,  the 262 is fun ) and it's not only a waste of time flying over but speaks to their lack of skills.    You see the same pilots on later in the afternoon/evening without the horde getting smacked around with no skills most of their sorties.  They'll never improve unless they go up against others 1 v1 or without just ramming.  ( note:   I do appreciate the AKs for swapping countries monthly and doing the missions they do.   I wish other squads would do that.)   For those who have always been a Bish, Knight or Rook and act like it's a mortal sin to change for the better of the game.   Even daily/monthly.   Get over yourselves.   They flight hours you accrue in the the horde with nothing to shoot at or vulching 1 guy over and over are killing your skills as fast as the game interest is dying.   Me personally,   I enjoy going up against pilots like Haggerty,  J0KER,  Eagler,  etc......   I may get it handed to me and I should probably learn how to fly anything faster than a mossie,  but I learn and try to get better.   Sometimes I actually get a kill.   If you are going to insist on hording.  Do everyone a favor..............STOP HOing the 1 guy trying to defend and STOP speading out to 10 different bases at once.  Stay together at 1 base.......  at least it gives us a sporting chance to kill 1 of you before the other 9 jump in.

They dont want to get better. They want to game the game and chase everyone away like the cowards they are trying to kill AH.

Thats right I said it.

I told knits last night, you can’t beat them with at 52 vs 6-8, take the loss, drag up and band together somewhere else. They gonna take it either way, why waste resources. Starve em out.

They gonna roll it either way. At least you’ll get a better fight on a single front while the others shoot beer cans.

STOP HOing

I'm kinda surprised anybody would HO a mossie. lolz

I started flying the mossie because of the whoers. Anybody that looked like they were thinking about Hoing would get it in the face. It seemed that it cut down on attempted HOs.

Last night was alot of fun, autoswitch kept me busy defending against hordes.  Going into battle with 1 or 2 other guys against 10 was a blast and we were generally very successful at stopping the hordes.  Unfortunately it can get hard to recruit a GVer to stop the m3 spam that comes with it, so eventually you usually lose.  One tank can go a long way in preventing a horde from winning, but you need those 1-3 plane to keep the bomb****s honest to keep that tank alive too.

Just another idea.  Would it possible to limit a countries base capture to 20% or 20% + 1 per country?   That way if one country gets pounded by both sides they can survive. 

Hordes are part of the game.  Been in hoards and been horded.  Both can be fun.

I do agree the up in ammo bunker damage has hurt more than it helped.  What about lowering the damage needed for destruction but set the down time to a constant 15 minutes like a VH or fighter hanger?

The problem is some prefer settings playing wack o mole because they don’t want to change their behavior. Sooner or later they find a work around requiring yet another tweak.

If this continues and critical mass is not an average during winter, count your days. Numbers breed numbers, low numbers breed low numbers too. If masses actions are making players log off its just a spiral. Laugh now, wale latter

I will confess, I have been trying to get Hitech to limit the percentages that a country can take for several months now.

Everyone has gotten so good at taking bases that 2 people can roll a base in one sortie if there is no opposition.  We upped the hardness of ords for what reason?  Its rare for people to pork bases these days, but if you are getting horded that makes it harder to slow them down.  It would be nice if towns were setup in a manner that a single set of bombers can't WF it in one pass.  I'd venture to say it would be beneficial if a single set of bombers cant WF a base no matter how well it drops in multiple passes...save the heavy stuff like Lancs and B29s.  We are min/maxing our base captures and our ability to sneak them in seconds kind of defeats the build up of any fight.  Even without re-designing towns we can up the hardness of the buildings to prevent them from dropping so easy.  I think limiting the amount a team can take from another is a bad idea, many maps have bases beyond the 20% that help with keeping those 20% a great deal, if you are forced to stop at 20% then you'll often leave easy counter attack avenues for the enemy.

Reduce the length of the down time for town buildings to 15 minutes and increase the damage needed to all structures must be down.

[Animl-AW]

How about some players just stop being dweebles?

These bases settings make no difference with a 25-50 player horde. Unless its indestructible its coming down.

And its not even a land grab issue, its things like throwing 52 at 6-8 is Ftardsville. They aren’t logging because land was taken, they log because they are fed up with 5 or 10-1 odds. Yus guys are walking around the point.

Hiw about just stop being pathetic?

resup spam is bad enough without lowered downtimes

[Dadtallica]

Also can be adjusted accordingly.

[Animl-AW]

None of that will stop 5 or 10 - 1. None of it, the answer is on the players. That setting does not exist, nir can it.

Anything but change yourselves, right?

Stop avoiding it or kiss it good bye.

This denial is part of the problem.

I say just ignore the red flags, play innocent, and open the drain.

The need is to balance the game between air and GV as well as to balance offense and defense.
