Why this game sucks as of late

[pzvg]

Now come on folks, Do you all really expect me to believe that you fly around with a slide rule and graph paper, choosing the enemy to engage based on it's point value?
Go play chess eggheads   this is supposed to be fun.
As for country imbalance, Live with it, as long as a multiplayer game does not require you to join a unit and fly according to orders handed down from above, you are going to have numbers issues, gamey tactic issues, "Napoleons", Ur-a-dweeb-cuz-u-fly-that-plane, and every other little thing that's part and parcel of several hundred disparate INDIVIDUALS playing in a common location, WB,AH,EQ,UO,RS, even friggin Quake.
Get over it.

Those who feel that I'm somehow wrong and missing the point, well, I'll be glad to help you come to grips with reality, just pay me $125/hr and lie on the nice sofa

LOL Who the f*ck cares?    Why were we created on the face of this planet, why do some people have blond hair?  Why ask why???

Some things need no explanation.

djv, lazs, no guessing needed. Its all right here.

Wasn't really guessing.  Its quite obvious, despite some people's claims to the contrary.

Just keeping it simple.  Lower rated plane kills higher rated plane.. more perk points.  Higher rated plane kills lower rated plane.. less perk points.

Well I've been flying Rook most of my time on AH. This tour has been terrible as far as the numbers go.  We've been getting gang-banged from both sides since the tour began. And this usually is no matter what time of day. Night time is best but not by much.  Each side may have about the same number but Knits and Bish gang up on Rooks cause by then we've been driven into a corner. I've tried to stick with Rooks, not being a guy who changes allegiances every other day to whatever side is winning the war but it's getting real old. You take off and you get jumped immediately. Even if you take off at a remote base you get overwhelmed.  This game is hard enough let alone always being outnumbered 3-4 to one. Unless you're one of the top pilots in the arena and can maybe hold your own (and even then these guys get flamed). It's not a lot of fun.  And, with the mix of airplanes on all sides, you never have the advantage of speed or turning because there's always someone else on the nme group that matches your airplanes strengths.

I don't blame AH for it and recognize that that's just the way it is.  I might just have to switch sides like a bunch of the other people.  But just think if ALL the Rooks did that where would we be???  Maybe some of you squads need to think about how you change sides or even if you should change sides? I'm not whining, just calling it like I see it.

Yes Lazs, it's hopelessly complex.  How those people figure things like 5 divided by 1 on the fly is beyond me.

[lazs]

well fatty.. i can probly struggle through that one but I bet most people have no idea how many perks they got on the last sortie till they land.   By complex I mean that there are a myriad of modifiers.   as many as there are planes and things to do and each is changed by the opponent.  Adding more modifiers makes it more complex.  

I don't really care much i just think it's funny.   If you tell me that you have never been surprised by the amount of perk point that you  earned on a sortie tho then I will admit that it is a simple system for you and that divideing 1 or five is all there is to it.

I think you will also admit that it is at odds with the other score system.   in effect, creating two score systems with different goals and ways of reaching em.

Big good, small bad.

Big number shoots small number lotta points.

Small number shoots big number little points.

That is all there is to the perk system.

make it a two country war.
