Yet again un even teams forces many to stop flying

[Wegaman]

  Just  a few minutes ago i left the MA cause i was sick and tired of being gangbaned by 40 people, and have 11 on my team. THat's 4 planes for every 1 you fly.  Rooks had 28, Bishops 20, and Knits 11. Both were gangbanging us. I pay for a game, yet stop playing it at times because it is unplayable or not fun? I will have to think next time i re subscribe to AH.

Everyone always forgets when it was their turn to be the gangbangers. For the first time in ages the rooks actually have some serious numbers. Usually we are the ones down by about 10-15 people.

Less pilots, but higher quality.

Just join one of the other teams, yes?  I know some here really get wound up at side-changing, but you are paying to play, and if one side is woefully outnumbered, jump ship.

But hey, that's me.  And I'm kinda kooky anyways!

This is why my squad does not change countries, at least 2 squads rotated this month, and it does have an effect on country balance...however I fall short of telling any CO what to do with his $29.95 a month.

Edit:"at least 2 squads rotated out of Knightland this month.."

Here's a hint:

If you see a big red bar and a tiny green one, avoid that grid

If you go back a month you'll see that rooks were getting raped last tour regularly from both Bish and Knit.

The tour before that, the bishes were decimating *everyone* in the beta terrain.

So, I guess it's our turn now. It's nice to have more then a couple serious squads on our side.

[Ripsnort]

Moose, please explain that to Caveman and Wizzer.  Thank you.

I've been back a little over a week, and I have seen one day where the Knights have held their own country intact. Every other day they have been forced into a tiny hole.

I don't care; that's the side I've always played, that is, the low side. That said, I wouldn't think twice about switching sides to fly if all my fields were closed. If I have one hour to fly, that is four (4) hops, max. I don't have time to watch the other side "own". I don't care about the war, I want to fly- that is my stress relief. Sitting in the tower waiting for a reset that the other two sides are in no hurry to make happen isn't what I paid to do.

Don't quit AH, just do the obvious, switch sides. People will squeak at you, but who cares? I think it is small-minded to ask the people on a low side to sit in the tower and let you toy with them. You don't pay your money to watch them fly, right?

[Moose11]

Huh?

::has feeling I'm making an bellybutton of myself::

(oh wait, I'm an assassin! That's two for the price of one!      )

Sorry rip, that one passed as far over my head as a bish strato-buff over our HQ every 20 min.

[Ripsnort]

Don't worry Moose, Cave and Wizzer know what I'm talking about

Left knitland due to the amazing amount of A1 furballers and almost total lack of cooperation.

That HQ raid the knits mounted on the rooks after the reset is the only example of knit cooperation i've seen in the past month and a half. Seems knits only cooperate when they have 70+ people on their side (aka, when they won the first reset).

Im rook now, and I find an AMAZING level of cooperation and common sense amongst its pilots. Its not just that vet squads like the Wrecking Crew, Assassins , etc are in it, the average rook DOES read and DOES look at the map and DOES help the team out. Need a goon? Call out for one, he will respond and bring along jabos/escort without you requesting them. This is what I expect in a team. <S> To all ye rooks, my $30 bucks are well worth it now!

Ripsnort: Count my squad into that rotation. Methinks we will stay rooks

" I pay for a game, yet stop playing it at times because it is unplayable"

   It is? I find  AH extremely playable.


" or not fun?":

  Well, that's subjective isn't it?

" I will have to think next time i re subscribe to AH."

 And go where? WB's? AW? FA? You'll find the same exact thing. Wait for WWIIOnline? Don't make me laugh. It'll be even WORSE there.

 Don't marry yourself  to a country or a situation. Change sides or fly elsewhere on the map. Those are your decisions to make and hence you decide if it's fun or not. Just if you choose to stick forever with one country or fly at one place then don't blame HTC, they didn't  force you to.

CC Tac,

I wonder if there are as many planned out missions on the other sides. At this point I'm used to flying large-scale sorties. Almost reminds me of watching fighters and bombers take off over my Panzer in the AK scenario.

Last night was crazy. Nimitz and the AKs had a huge attack on 17 and we leveled the field and had CAP within 5 min.

Only one goon started before the raid however, and was shot down on final approach by a lone hellkitten I was not able to chase down.    By the time the backups had arrived, most all of the raid was RTB fuel to the carrier leaving the field wide open. I logged after that because I was dead tired, but I wonder if we got that field.

[Tac]

I think we did get it. We were owning the map up until midnight.

Bish seem to use the mission planner or have squads that bring along their countrymates on attacks. I was quite surprised they took 5 of our bases near home island in less than 20 minutes. Took us an hour to retake, but it was great fun. Any Bishlander care to confirm/deny?

This is what I expect in a team.

I don't expect anything, this is how we are different.
