might re-sub for another whirl. How's things?
« on: March 05, 2026, 04:45:47 PM »
Is there a lot going on? Been several years since I've played last and it was a bit slow back then.

I'll still probably resubscribe for a little bit. It's too bad it's slower.

It's also about timing, you're more likely to find some fun in evenings (7-10est) compared to other times.  If you're just looking to furball it can be hit or miss depending on where the gang train is.  You can still find a few willing to meet you somewhere - not seeing a whole lot of DA activity, but that's an occasional option if u find a willing partner.

There are still other draws such as monday night madness (1 hr mindless furballing) and FSO and scenarios.

I've also noticed some older and new names filtering in. 
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Every couple of years I have to try it again. I miss the old days.

As Shane said, anything after 7pm est will be the largest turnout in the MA (about 80+ during the week and 100+ Friday/Saturday). FSO is about 80+ on Friday nights. Scenario is I think are close to 100 when they happen… which a new scenario will be starting in a couple weeks

Slower does not mean there arent 100 good opportunities a day still for good fights and heart thumping action.   :aok

Last real fun I had in the game was in our little squad Elite Top Aces + 1 Mexican. AKAK was the Mexican - and that was his idea for the "Mexican" part in the name.

Every member of the squad was a 5 star general. There was only a few of us. Dred, AKAK, Slamfire and Myself. I forget if we had a couple more - but we just kind of hung out on vox and laughed a lot. I miss AKAK.

I will add the game has an interesting sideline now days with fewer players.  Most of us know each other from the game play.  So when you get a kill or be killed, you know a bit about how  that player plays the game. 

A few good examples. Hove, he is relentless in his attack mode.  Another is Ordy, he loves his bombers.  Tankman in his deadly Panzer.  Lutrel hard to find his tank before he gets you.  Old Angus just plain good in what ever he is in.  Traveler and his squaddie in their P38s will not stop a base atttack till they are done.  I could write a whole page like this with no trouble at all listing a large number of players and how they generally play the game.

Good players across all three countries that represent the game very well.  If not, this game would have died way before this day.

Not saying we might not piss on each other's boots.  Just with respect at some level or another. :lol

Knowing my enemy and his preferences is how I get killed much less than my skillset ought to allow.

Several years? Has it been that long? Maybe a couple.   LOL  Still bothers me that VR didn't keep you in game. I tried! The fight is what you make of it.  :bhead
