OK, on a more serious way...
Fly whatever you like. Like whatever you fly. This is the same for planes and for countries.
I'm happy being a Rook now because it's currently far more challenging than any other country...I will be happy when
the tide changes and Rook have the upper hand numbers wise because I will be getting more easy kills.
On the strat side, I tend to agree with Kweassa. You can overcome bad odds with good strategy/coordination, but only up to a certain point. Yesterday, for instance, *both* countries doubled or even trebled Rooks. The situation was so hard that we could do anything but mantain a desperate resistance at the North (A78) trying to draw as many resources from the enemy as we possibly could, while others fought on the South grabbing some land. If that's not coordination, you tell me what it is.
It's became common place to blame Rooks as "mindless furballers". It's really easy to accuse of that when each of the other countries has, at any given time, 40+ pilots for "coordinated" land grabbing without hurting the defensive war. When I'm usually logged, there is no way we can set up anything near a "coordinated attack" our numbers limit ourselves to the desperate knife fight and we usually do not have bases to set up a nice bomb run. Tiffie runs "ala Bishop" would use our whole country attendance. Radar...what's that? Oh, I remember long ago, when we had some....not anymore....
Then comes the new General to Rookland, claiming some attention, and telling us that we have no Idea whatsoever of what this war is all about. After giving some orders or advices, depending on his mood, invariably thinks that lack of attention is due to our "furball" mind, instead of sheer lack of numbers. After a while, the General abandons all hope, and leaves Rookland, not without remarking how poor strategist we are and how better we would fare with simply following the easy advice of "coordination".
Was utmost funny when someone comes to Rookland to give a hand, and leave in angry saying that we wont "communicate". LOL! we CAN'T possibly look at the radio chat. We are overwhelmed and we are too busy trying to kill someone before the inevitable end comes.
OK, I'm a Rook. Proud to be Rook. If you want to give us a hand, you are more than welcome. I will try to clear your 6 if it's at all possible. I won't regret saving you at the cost of my virtual life. I have zero score concern. I like returning home alive, but not at the cost of leaving my buddies behind. So, If you come to help Rookland, do come. We really need some hands. But come to help, just that. Use your abilities in a constructive way. We have enough dealing with impossible odds in other countries. Don't make us lose our little time reading rants and whines on Ch2 about how bad we are. We are Rooks. Not more, not less.
Cheers,
Pepino
