MrLars, I noticed that too. The 262s come out in force when we are down to about four hurting bases.
I'm Knight, so can only speak from my perspective. It seems people gravitate towards the path with least resistance which means sometimes it's more economical of the fun for the two lower number countries to fight and forget about the one that overpowers both together. And it's hard to organize into allies, because you have so many people coming in and going out every minute. If Rooks attack us somewhere, we'll either defend...but if we don't, we can let them take bases which will attract others who gravitate towards the least resistance and it snowballs. If a Rook enters the arena not aware of the alliance (or even still aware), he may decide to go his own way and that path of least resistance and hunt along the allied lines. Oh, and I'm not really sure an alliance against the Bish will serve our purpose because that will legitimate their numbers and probably require they have more people. I wonder if we ignored the Bish completely...let them take the bases with no resistance if that would bore them to death to leave for another country that has good fights, Rook or Knight. Hmmm.
I just left the arena after getting slammed by overwhelming Bish. Very good job on 45 by you guys with three B17s coming in from three different directions and arriving over target at the same time combined with the hord of GVs moving on the base. Funny thing is, I still saw many Spitfires, a Yak, a N1K and LA7 attacking our base. Overwhelming numbers using the best tools for the job = steamroller.
I'm truly not whining. I actually enjoy having all these targets and finding a fight really fast and I'm learning defensive moves en force, but it grows old too. Sadly, the community has to police itself on this matter because you can't force anyone to fly for one country or another and make everyone happy.
Cheers.
