I am a rook and have been for the year and a half that I have been playing this game. I have read the whole forum here and I have just a couple things to say..
1. Ok I cant tell you how many time I have heard, or have said, Axx about to get slammed. I see lots of my Rook buddies up and defend MASSIVE missions put on by the bish and Knit. I think the rooks are down right relentless about defending their bases. To this i throw a big (S) to all my rook brothers. It seems I end up just blowing my score (im a score potato) every month trying to defend my bases. See a trend here, we are always defending..Well it seems. I only have like 6 base captures this month(Jan) I really would love to see that number go up.
2. Missions: Any rook ou there knows I am always asking "Who is flying missions?" The answer is usually no one. I would like to see this get better. As the knights and Bish show, overwelming numbers make a big differance. I would love to fly more big missions, but no one seems to plan this way. A squad and a few stragalers usually all you have working over a base. This is m fault too. My mouse works, I can submit missions too. I would love to see more leadership(well, people stepping up that is). Vast numbers and overwelming firepower takes bases. Sometimes the NOE fast raid works, but a big mission of pony's 110's, and 38's will distroy the defending chance. I hate saying over country "axx" vulchlight on. Heck, even I want to drop what I am doing and get some kills. It is my goal to not give into temptation and continue whatever dweeb BS I am doing at the time.
3. I love getting kills just like the next guy, but I thought the object of the game was to win. Take bases and reset the map. I would love to fly with about 20-30 guys with only that goal in mind. Just take bases. I like to furball and strat just like the next guy, but if I could find some other guys to join me and my squad we can take some bases. Now a rest is a quick 20 or so perkies..
I know everyone pays their 15 bucks and you can do what ever you want to. I am going to spend the next month, not caring about my score(see above) and just take bases. Me and my squad are on alot. If you run a mission, I will join.. Thanks to the guys for going rook to help us out..
