One of the most widespread miths of AH is that Rookland lacks on "strat" thinking, while Knits and specially Bish are more aware of this aspect of the game.
Well, I have to say that this concept is, to put it mildly, absolute BS. Being in the Bucket for a long time and on the receiving end of both sides' sticks, I can judge now.
Bish "Strategy" limits itself to overwhelming raids of Tiffies or Ponys, raiding contiguous fields with no deep penetration or disrupting the frontline whatsoever. Sheer and boring numbers power with little intelligence (let alone ability) in it.
For instance (and the pattern is been repeated despite terrain change) during the 4 hours I've been online yesterday in NDISLES terrain, they just jumped from base to base following the same pattern. Launch a 30ish Tiffy or Pony run to the nearest base. Ill-hearted attempt of a jabo run failing miserably to close FH's and even VH most of the times. 50% of lemming attack wave killed on their first pass, aprox. 10% more (I presume the "skilled" ones) dead on their second. Remainings of the "attack", average 10 planes, start the usual vulch, gaining no air superiority until the 2nd lemming wave (the ones killed on the first pass) get again to the vulched field. Lose an average of 2 or 3 goons killed by scarcely 2 to 4 defendants. Finally, base capture. Total time: no less than 30 minutes from the first pass, usually not more than 90.
Is that "strategy"? No, no and no. It's lemming psychology working full steam ahead.
There is one thing that I've stated last month and is that, given roughly equal numbers between Bish and Knits, Bish are consistently losers. Of course we Rooks are only the sandwich's ham. But that's another story.
Being a fact the lack of skill of the average Bish pilot (and saving for the inevitable exceptions to this), I just wanted to point out that their "strat" department is severely lacking too. Even doubling Rook numbers, not a single "mission" deep into Rook territory, just the usual hopper dance. When numbers don't give them a notable advantage, their run simply stalls, and game over for them.
Sorry to burst your bubble, Bishland. Your pretended "strat" boils down only to numbers pressure.
I respect the Bish individuals that, as hard to find as they are, still give you fits, and go for the fite, and the skilled ones (Mika and LeftF00t come to mind after yesterday run). I still them after the fite, whatever the outcome. But I'm losing respect for Bishland attitudes at a very fast pace. Just the permanent no-skill vulch&gangbang country. Not anything that anyone must care about, I'm no more than an insignificant player flying for Rooks. Just the statement of a fact.
to all AH fighters.
