Narsus, Shiva, & Wlfgng: If you would reread my post (more carefully this time, please), you will see that I said I was ambivalent about the reintroduction of the old maps. It's not the maps I have a problem with; it's the arcade gameplay that comes as a result of those small scale maps combined with features like the bardar and Mission Editor. Don't tell me that high N1K wasn't some sort of aerial vulcher just waiting for folks like me to arrive!
Revvin! Took me ages to work out the meaning of FFS - LOL! How's yer gob?
Lazs! I am so glad you responded.
A thread would be incomplete without having you arguing with me.
I bet everyone woulda got sick of one map only tho after a while.
Sure thing - and I would be one of them. I said that on Day-1. I was not arguing in favour of the pizza map, but more the game play that became possible (field capture etc. - I know you disapprove) and the ability to carry out those stealth missions with a handful of people (because there's only a relative handful on at Eurotimes) without the LA7/N1K dweebs ruining it at a stroke by upping from an adjoining field five minutes away. I didn't attack A1 for hours on end. I flew about four sorties there, and did something else when I realised that the rooks had the upper hand. But thank you for your kind words. I'd like to buy you a gift - maybe a new tin of polish for you to clean your guns
:D
Shiva (again)
So instead of making any attempt to make a coordinated attack on the field, you just took off in your jabo to hit the field, expecting that you'd be able to set up a coordinated attack on the fly, and then come here and whine when it doesn't happen.
It didn't happen like that. At first, I was resigned to furballing, and that's why I took the 190A5. But then two guys made themselves known on voice comms, and I realised that we would have a chance to capture the field. We originally thought (owing to the reduced presence of Knits at A4) that they (the knits) were fighting a two-front war - Bish to the east, and rook to the west. They might have been, but clearly the rooks had gained the upper hand - possibly because the knits had no other field from which to take off. But then of course the rooks attempted some opportunist kills of the Bish - and we were only trying to do their job for them! That N1K should have let me in. I could have flattened the field, then he could have killed me and summoned the Goon
By the way, I did NOT read that Q&A thing - it must have got buried in all the whining material from the FW and GtG crowd. I read PLENTY of that.
Funked Up If you can't get people to help you like that then the problem is your social skills, not the map.
Someone
else who opens his gob without having read my post properly. If you would reread it, you will see that it wasn't a solo jabo run. Two other guys announced that they were interested in capture. That's WHY I switched to jabo Thunderbolt. I'm surprised you didn't invite me to kiss your ass, especially as there is plenty there to be kissed!
:D:D May I remind you, Mr. P-Funk, that AH is a game not played solely by Americans. The Euro afternoon will see players from many different countries, with many different first languages. There are some excellent Japanese guys on at that time, but few of them speak English. Some of the Europeans speak English, but the jargon may not be easy for them. Language is a problem. I hope you'll take the time to understand this, and not be a smartass next time.
CDSMMNT Historically weren't fighters higher flying than bombers
I have already satisfied myself, on the strengh of the postings in another thread, that the historical aspects of the real WW2 have naff-all to do with AH.
