I agree with Kronos.

Numbers do NOT matter.

Organization will kick butt on a disorganized mob every time.

My squad proves this point time and time again, every time we run a mission.

It doesn't take 50 to 100 guys to be in a mission to be effective.

On Sunday, we had one of our guys JABOing the Bishop's barracks at four bases to prevent them from capturing any more, while the rest of us, about 7, re-captured a base they took from us.

Tuesday, the Bish and Rooks were sucessful in the early evening in steaming rolling several of our bases. Wham bam-thank-you mam. They caught us by surpise - to them for being organized.

Rather than fight a defensive war - which in AH, WB, and AW always means you'll loose... ALWAYS - it's just a matter of time.

We, the Damned, went on the offensive - because attacking is the only way to win in air combat.

Shortly other squads, like the MAWs, were also organizing mission and having success.

In a matter of a few hours, we had kicked the Bishops back to where they started and then we took the southern-east Pensula away from the Rooks.

We were out numbered and fighting two fronts.

Instead of fighting stupid - we fought smart.

That's how you play and win this game.

So you numbers whiners STFU and get with the program.

Bish had 175, we had about 118, rooks about 78
Something like that, numbers varied through out the night.

Number whiners are weak and don't have what it takes to win.

So, please whiners move to Bish or Rooks. the Knights don't need you.

You'll see my name in the text buff when I shoot you down from the midst of your numbered hord - and that will only go to prove you are still a looser even with numbers to your advantage.

There's one saying that describes your condition perfectly Dmdnexus but I'll save it up untill you grow older, maybe 15 years old.

MrRiplEy,

Oh did I hit a nerve?

I don't like whiners. I guess that's my military background showing.

Instead of confronting chalanges and overcoming them, whiners make excuses why they can't and cry for someone else to change things so they can.

I've been playing online flight sims for nearly 22 years, since 88 with AW on Genine.

There were three countries then, there are three countries now, and the numbers never have been even.

Number whiners have come and gone, and the numbers are still not even.

At the end of the day, ask your self are you better than you were yesterday?

Did you learn something today - or did you just sit on your butt and whine like a baby becuase the other side had more people flying for them and it's not fair - that's why I lost.

Ever heard of the expression, you may loose the game, but don't loose the lesson.

You might want to try using your gray matter, and organizing some missions, and proving that numbers don't matter.

Those of us who have been around awhile, know, it's not the plane, it's not the numbers, it's not the country, it's the individuals and their ability.

And if you whine, that's just a sign that you are a looser. You are letting everyone else know you can't deal with the situation. You've given up.  You need someone else to help you.

Hopefully, you will realize, some day, when you grow up, some situations you can not change and you'll just have to over come them or be a looser.

And you can take that to the bank.

Kronos' first post is right on. Read it. Try it. Learn something.

Have a nice day.

What is your MA id dmdnexus?

You sound like a superb player who could beat the whole arena 10:1 at any time.

Next time knights are down to 6 players vs 47 bish, I'll invite you there to show how you make your mission and capture a field from them. That'll convince me.

And btw I've been fighting and winning at 2:1 odds for the past 6 months in the MA so I'm not just whining and doing nothing.

Oh... is your Estrogen rising?

Do you feel the need to compensate for the lack of real world achievement and self esteem by bantering with others on the internet?

What other "virtual-creditials" do you have?

I doubt you'll impression me.

But please... go on.

Go ahead hijack this thread with your whiney slack-jawed dribble.

or...

you might want to pull your head out of your as$ - so you can hear what others are saying, and give some of these comments some thought.

You might want to shut up, and try what Kronos, myself, and others have suggested are ways to overcome numbers and win this game.

You just might learn something...

Funny that you mentioned hormones..

Because the saying that came to my mind reading your previous banter was 'more balls than brains.'

No, nexus, you didn't manage to irritate me. You make me smile.

Btw: You didn't mention your arena ID.. scared?

Ass is spelled ass, not as$ ,scared?

Come on, if you talk big walk the walk. :)

There are plenty of Knits that put up missions. Unfortunately, the majority of them are posted by folks that are a truck load of clues short of an answer. Currently, there are only about 3 or 4 folks who's missions I would care to join (outside squad stuff). The situation does seem to be improving though, as more Knits gain more experience.

As for Bishup supremacy...though I hate to admit it, numerous times in the last few months I have watched as the Knits 'assist' the Bish in winning a reset. I have tried many times to explain that there is only one winner in a reset. The other 2 are both losers. What I usually hear when I ask for help against a Bish onslaught is "the best defense is a good offense". If FDR had been a Knit when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor...he would have captured Toronto and declared victory!! :D

strat in this game is pointless always has been always will be from what i can see.  
bish have had the numbers since beta with small variences. probly because htc guys flew bish mostly and bellybutton kissers love to do what they do best .
 every time i have logged on in the last month with one exception bish have been overwelming in numbers. so i dont log on much anymore. also people have begged for 2 sides for 2 years and nothing. face it this game is a reverse engineered copy of air warrior with inferior strat and a better flight model. people who  reverse engineer dont generaly do much that is creative this game is no exception.

yeah, when i'm in the mood to roleplay as napoleon, i try to hit relatively quiet, but close by, targets to ease pressure off some other area (and grab a base or 2 to get some momentum).  all i ever ask for is 2 or 3 people.  :D

Actually, FDR is a good example of "the best defense is a good offense." We island hopped all the way to Japan.
