Yesterday night was a good example of "bishop's key of success". They were outnumbering us only by 10% and they were spanked to the limit, their "missions" defeated and their fields conquered one after another.

Ripley,

"who ever said I did?"

You implied it in the following statement.

"I know what fighting against odds in ww2 is, I'm a finn."

Once again you are talking through your ass.

It is pertty clear that a lot of other folks on the board consider you a whiner too.

In any case, I'm done talking with you - you're a waste of time.

Have a nice day.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Dmdnexus what I was saying is that I know my country's history, referring to your BOB stories.

No need to be such a pompous tard nexus.. But I guess that's your nature. LOL.

I prefer a part of the board consider me a whiner than everyone consider (you) a fool. :)

"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. "
  A Fuggin Men.Im a Bish and lately there HAVE been an overload of numbers.But as I recall from previous camps that you wineing maggots refuse to recall,when the Bish were being banged to hell and back you just NEVER and it amazed me to no end,but you NEVER heard the bish crying about it.Ive seen the Rooks roll us like cheap carpet and throw us to the curb when we had numbers.How did they do it?Missions.They didnt cry,they got up and orginized and it worked.You lame tulips can piss and moan about numbers all you want.Numbers dont win resets.Organized pilots do.Dissagree all you want but thats the facts.Quick fast strikes of strategic value take bases.When bases are being took you hit Barracks.When you hit one base you prep the closest base by hitting fuel.TEAMWORK.I personaly am not a strat player.But I understand the concept.SOmething a few in here have no grasp of.They would rather wine about there situation than fix it.
 Sorry for the harsh attitude but these crybabys really pluck.There followers with no leader and no ability to lead so they squeak about it.Blame the numbers.Blame the game.Anything but there lack of organization.Dissgruntled perk potatos.

Try making missions when youre 2:1 for a month or so and then tell who is a lameass.

No way in hell any mission is going to overcome the imbalance. It's simply not possible unless the other side is a collection of newbies.

Maybe field, maybe two.. its possible. But doing that exposes 10 fields otherwhere, which the larger enemy will milkrun and thank you for it.

SOB first of all, the problem during my timezone is over already, MA has been perfectly balanced most of the time during last week. No reason to whine.

What we have here is a difference in opinnions and a discussion, which you people who whine about discussions, don't like.

If what you've been doing is discussing, then you're right, I have absolutely no idea what a discussion is about.  I apologize.

Apology accepted SOB.

You see, if a person makes a claim and the other person disagrees to it verbally, that becomes a discussion. That then may or may not lead into a fruitful conclusion.

To go back to the original subject, I'd like to know if anyone has ever managed to perform reset or even push close to one while being outnumbered 2:1 or more?

Maybe I'm totally wrong, I just have never seen it happen. Anyone?

  Thats sarcasm.I recognise that.How about a nice polka.
  Ive seen the side with less numbers win.SeveraL times.I dont have number to back it up because most people not looking to prove anything realise that fact.Its in the organization.Better organised team has better results.Sure a few attacks are going to be stopped.The majority wont if there planned right.Out numbered doesnt mean out gunned.

"Ive seen the side with less numbers win.SeveraL times."

Outnumbered by what? 10%, 20%, 30%?

150%?

You see, there is a certain point where the balance just tips too far. Common sense tells that if you take a mass of players, divide it to 2 uneven sections, the side with the advantage will win. Up to a certain point the smaller side has some chances but I'd assume that around 50% and above that disparity in numbers will end up in onesided victory at all times.

What most people seem to be missing in my thoughts is that I only want to prevent a huge mismatch (2:1 or worse) not to end the whole variation in numbers!

One way to flavor success is to have a squad with members who play regularly.  I am very fortunate to be a member of a squad who not only is fairly large...believe very close to 30 members, but also many of them participate on a daily basis.  This gives our squad the opportunity to fly together when online.  It is not uncommon to see 13 to 17 of us up on a non squad night and flying together.

This will naturally make it difficult for the enemy, in our squad numbers alone.  No mission......just the flying circus winging and creating general mayhem.  Lots of fun......I think finding a squad like that is key to enjoying the game.  Even if your country is outnumbered....if you have many squadmates online, at least the grid of the map that you and your squadmates are flying in make any number of enemy palatable.  It also helps if the majority of your squadmates have been playing online flight sims an avg. of 7 years or better...like ours.
