200 will not solve this.
bbs will not solve this.

Ya want it public? Ok

His complaint is you switch sides and refuse to hit rooks <shrug> it’s a nudge.
You bite that hook every time. You tend to go after bish that draws us under a GB. Ya did it tonight when bish were fighting rooks only.

Every time we took a rook base you had something negative to say about it, how stupid we are. Ya, it irks him, probably more than him. We fight both sides and don’t cater to your anti-rook attacks.. Going after a quiet bish front split us up to now fight two wars. Ironic that benefitted rooks, didn’t it? You kinda try to aid rooks from our side.
But he’s not out of line to mention that point.

You guys get into a purse fight and he crosses a line.

Every debate usually ends somewhere in the middle.
You don’t always tell both sides of a story and he’s not here to defend himself.

I filmed part of the convo.

1) I do prioritize hitting bish, though I don't hit them exclusively. And I do try to arrange my six hour switch option so I have a better chance to effectively do so. The primary reason for that, fwiw, is that I am trying to minimize the chances of the morning bish horde from running the table during my primary game play time. 15 to 5 to 4 isn't going to stop any hordes, but I can try to make it so that they run out of steam before they manage a map win.

2) I haven't said people were stupid to take certain bases for months now. It's true that I used to, but it dawned on me that not everyone plays strategically and I stopped doing that. And I don't try to split the team up. If you've paid any attention at all you will have noticed that I ask for one or at most two players to help me try something sneaky in my afternoons. If I don't get the help, I'll generally just try something solo. Occasionally I'll join in a base take try on either front, but that's not what I have the most fun doing.

Of all the multiplayer games I have played, Aces High tops the list for people getting caught up in make believe.
There was a big party every weekend, just so happens there was also a race to run in

Honestly, It doesn’t bother me. I was just painting a picture of how others may perceive it. I don’t have issue with either of you.

In both situations I walked in mid convo. When I did you were raggin him about exposing you. It appeared you were relighting the fire doing so.

What he did was heat of the moment reaction, it wasn’t a “plot”, like others did.

Personally, I’d rather not fight two fronts, unless all countries are fighting two fronts. Which would be rare these days.

Ya can get the same drama from a neighborhood baseball game of friends.

Its a game. It’s not life changing.

 :aok :rofl definitely top 3.  The online gaming world has become a whine fest in general.  Someone is always whining about the players, the gameplay, or the devs in every gaming community.  Don't believe me, just get on twitter   :rofl

I meant the way they obsess over this game. Like spying is a thing and there is a huge benefit from it. Or that person bailed and didn't let me get those bomber kills so I can get WTG's after I land the kills.

They just Obsess.

A large majority of the players I interact with are ADHD players anymore.

One day its War Thunder, the next week its racing, the next week its hell divers, the next week its some other game they think is different but in reality, it's the same game as most the others.

Many who want to take bases are creating their own frustration by forgetting to attempt to satisfy the minimum requirements of a successful base take.   

Then they eventually get the entire country heading to the roach motel where their sieve-like vulch cap turns into feeding enemy fighter score. 

All they needed to do was down the fighter hangers to eliminate the unlimited supply of fighters upping right under their ineffective vulch cap.   

Learn how to take a base.   

Know that, no matter how hard you try, you can’t take a base until the minimum requirements are met.

And what does this have to do with one player giving out the location of another player over 200?   :headscratch:

Players obsess over the game because it’s a good game with battle immersion. Unlike a cpl other sims that are just pretty cockpits and terrain with little fighting. Like it or not, game play is always happening. Hard to obsess with boring.

If there is no emotions it’s because the game play blows.

ADHD? Why are you here? Projection?

Not becoming, always has been. Most these discussions are 35+ yrs of repeats. Ask anyone who’s been playing since AW DOS. Many don’t hang on bbs to read the same complaints for the 10,001 time.

Like 50% of the posts on this topic, it is not about the topic but rather pointing out that frustration is what inspired the actions.   

I was pointing out that the base take frustration is largely caused by the very people who are “frustrated” by it.   

I watch an entire country pulled into a badly planned base take attempt where the only thing that results is the feeding of enemy fighter score when hitting fighter hangers before showing up would relieve the frustration. 

Better plans mean less frustration.
