Bish are more fun to fight than rooks

[xbrit]

We ran an SBD or TBM mission a few weeks ago. 

I don't get on much these days so missed that, I bet it was fun.

Yeah it would be great to see more mission oriented folks during prime time doing missions on all sides. Defense missions are greatly needed to combat other sides missions. This would help people get aligned on the action. Players who are rolling out of unison make it very tough to get a tempo and defend/attack properly.

One of my fave missions Excaliburs used to run were NOE Lanc runs to quick wipe and take a VBase or small field. We did it a lot on NDIsles. Couple Lance, couple heavy fighters and goon is all you need. Maybe a few more for the air fields.

Rumor is you can capture a flak base I want to join that mission. The only time we ever tried the troops didn’t take.

Taking a Flak base, if it is capturable, is VERY difficult. Usually the flak bases are not capturable, I know on my maps, I set them to where they  can not be captured, NDisles2 is one of my maps. Kongs Crag map has the flak bases set where they can be capured.

  I have never been muted in this game.   EVER.   But that said,  my good friends Tito and Jack have gotten a mute once in a great while.

I’ve taken a flak base before, takes forever to drive around in a tank and kill all the guns

My .02 cents. in keeping with the spirit of the thread, I usually feel that while the Knights have perhaps, the best individual fighter pilots (Kermit, YUC(K)CA,  THRASH when he is on), the overall quality of the Bishops that I normally face is a bit higher, with SAWZAW, HOtard, pica, Mark4 all being more than substantial challenges. NoTaR's group of lonely Knights may be an exception to this, as they do run a lot of base captures. But as a whole, the Knights seem more disjointed in their nightly ops. This may be more indicative of the hours I am normally able to fly (late at night, from Thursday to Sunday), so take this as one pilot's opinion only. Mileage may vary with individual experiences. ;0. Plus, trogdor is a gypsy, and YUCCA has turned into one also, so I only have worry about them 2/3rds of the time. 

And yes, PERK YUCCA and SAW. And maybe Kermit also.

You still bringing that fat girl the dances HW? Not sure why you, Yucca and The Stig seem prefer them.

I think what holds bish and rooks together is they have more and biggest squads. The others just fly along in full country high alt picking hordes.and thats where point minger flourish. Point mongers can be found in who has the biggest horde.. Never outnumbered.

5 out of 7 days a week knits face gang banger hordes. It’s really disgusting.

Knits can become fixated on constant defense. Defense has little organization. Knits need to learn 8 guys aren’t going to stop 30-40 and go offensive. Detaching them from fixation can be a challenge.

I liked the one night of bish missions, But that was an exception, the rest is wimpy garbage from both rooks and bish.

Knits are very used to fighting 3-7 to 1 in one dogfight. A few times I had 8 (eight) chasing me<blank stare>

For whatever reason odds are the knights will have the least action between the 3...

Group body odor maybe...I  know I gave up personal hygiene when I retired a couple of years ago..

Nothing like old man funk smell to keep the neighbors away..

You could take flak bases on Buzzsaw but that's out of rotation, don't think that can happen anywhere else.
If you want to try, every gun other than manned guns need to go or troops die. One of the reasons I miss Buzzsaw: it was fun to throw GVs at a flak base to try to get every single gun.
