Intil recently nits have been the target 5-6 nights out of 7

Dar nor ENY doesn’t bother me. Therefore they are crybabies. Lol

Number drop bothers me. That should bother everyone. You have no buffer.

150-200 in the arena GB wouldn’t happen like that
Well last night was an exception. Knights and Bishops beating up on Rooks but the entire fight appeared to be on the Bish/Rook front. I did my standard thing heading to a bish base to open a new front. Took out VH. Started to work town guns. Obligatory 88 gunner starts up. Miss miss miss miss… Tempest lifts (sweet! A fight?!?). He does his best impression of the old Atari game “Joust”. Misses several HO attempts. Runs 1/2 a sector before reversing and getting tickled with 50cals. Runs for base. I start working on guns again and clip a tree. Tempest lands.

Next sortie. Same as the first but notice the Rook front is now quiet. 20+ Knights on but only see like 3 on the entire map. Announce on country that I’ve killed the VH and a couple town guns. Completely surprised as everyone comes out of the woodwork. Knight horde is in full on bish pounding mode. Take the base as I arrive. Still have ord and go to the next base. Move mud. Next base is taken in short order. Not a single enemy showed up.

Consider moving over to the, now empty, Rook front. Don’t have another hour+ to stir up some semblance of a fight. Completely bored as I’ve flown for well over an hour and only seen one enemy plane in a game called Aces High.

Log off.

Part of the problem is clearly that maps are too big for the current population. 100+ bases with 40-50 players just doesn’t breed any desire to try to fight for territory apparently. Combining that with horde friendly radar the actually discourages defense and things certainly aren’t looking great for a game who’s only purpose for collecting my subscription is to let me engage with other players.

Thank goodness for FSO and scenarios.

Best update would be to remove AWACS and let the exodus of players that left because of it know that it’s been fixed.

If wanting more combat and players in a combat game is a messed up, consider my priorities messed up.

Only thing worse than getting gang raped by 15 enemy fed by the clipboard is not seeing any players for over an hour while flying for the team that’s supposedly GBed 5 nights a week.
