whats up with htis game now
« on: March 05, 2002, 01:16:52 PM »
i play this game to have plane battles not to go on bombing runs but when i go to the main arena everyone just sits there and bombs other peoples bases meanwhile i want to do some a-a combat so i head over to the training arena where theres normally some air to air combat i can do but no all there is are plane vs boat things that everyone is involved in so then i head to the h2h where all the arenas are full and i make my own and no one comse so i still end up on bombing runs. its making me really mad how i play for a-a combat and i endup doing a-g. it seems pretty stupid to waste my day flying for 5 minutes to a enemy base then dropp[ing 3 bombsa and flying for another 5back to base just to land take off and repeat. so i need some help getting into some good air t oair fights on this game.

sorry for wasting space on this board if this a question not meant for this board.

Go try the CT.

...but if you can't find A to A in the MA, then you might not be looking hard enough.

Well, I for one say stay in the main arena and fly fighters! Yes, there is continuous bombing, but there is always continuous fighter action! I have never tried other arenas just because I find the MA totally challenging. If you find some people to fly with consistently (even if you don't join a squad) the game gets even that much more fun....and, you get to start rackin up the killz.  That being said, try to avoid diving straght into every fight. Diving straight in is a sure ticket to a new plane.  Fly to the strengths of your plane, your skill, and to the demands of the situation.  I am sure the other arenas are fun, but for me its MA or bust!

Vorticon,

I don't know where you have been flying in MA, but anytime I go on, you don't have to look too far to find a fur-ball somewhere on the map, especially around the CVs.

There have been times when all you can find are fur-balls and no fields are being taken. That is how a country can end up losing the war. Too much A2A and not enough A2G. If you don't take bases, you don't win the war. I believe that most of us are there to win the war.

I watch the country radio and see where the majority of the flyers are heading to next for an assult. I jump in my favorite fighter and follow them in. An organized assault can be like wacking a bees nest with a stick. Plenty of action there.

Also, if you join a mission and choose a fighter escort, you will find more A2A at times than you can deal with.
