Think I'll camp this spawn point for a while and watch the fun.

Alright alright... a moment of insanity took hold. Thought I might snag something other than the usual big fat "nothing" out of HTC.

I guess I don't see what the problem is. Yeah, it sucks when you are on the recieving end (as it seems the rooks always are

)....

HOWEVER,

then you launch a flight of p47-25's from a rear base, climb to 30K and and pork their their fuel, ordanance, troops AND dar

Porking sucks, but its a two way street.

I feel for ya Tumor I hate logging on only to find all the bases close to the front with fuel at 25%. When they are trying to take the base that is one thing. But like last night furball at 44. Upped from what was it 50 I think flew to the furball a couple time. Then a bunch of rook p47s came over and porked the fuel down to 25%. Didnt try to take the base just pork the fuel. Everyone that was upping there was going to the furball. Yet 15 p47s came over to pork the fuel. But what can you do its their 15 duckets they can fly like they want. I did try to get back and stop them but it was too late and I was too far away. So I spotted a cv close to a bish base and went to that furball!

Gee, your right, let's code it so when you are on the receiving end, their bombs turn to Nerf....but when you are pounding them, make the bombs work like normal.

...that's the ticket..

Exactly. If porking fuel had a reasonable value, I'd get it. But as strat is now, I just don't get it as anything other than a bunch of noodles getting thier jollies porking fuel.

Ummmm . . . You don't see any value in keeping you opponent short-fueled in a dogfight? I can see any number of advantages in that without even trying.

Limit your range
Limit your time in the air
Limit your ability to run from me
Limit your ability to chase me when I run *grin*

These seem like excellent reasons to me, but as a newbie, maybe y'all are seeing something I'm not.

I had a decent 30 minute window of opportunity to play last night.

Got on and looked at the map to see where the fight was. Found what looked like a good fight but every damned field within a 50 mile flight to the fight was down to 25 fuel.

Think Ill just bag the game for now and check out AH2 whenever that comes out.

Just so my despised enemies don't get pissed at me, I only pork fuel, ordy, barracks and dar at bases my country is taking and the goon is less than 10 minutes away. Unless of course the junior napoleans ask me nicely to not do it. For some reason, I have an aversion to people I don't know and have no authority over me telling me what to do.

Some of you guys won’t be happy until you have inexhaustible resources.

Remember, last year, this is how everybody said it should be, “It should take at least half a dozen guys in jabos to pork a base.” Bases were always getting porked, the difference now is it takes some player coordination and the defenders have that "chance to chase them down;" another thing the community said would be good. I know it's cold comfort gents, but at least you don't have a single guy at 30K in a Lanc killing your resources any more.

Em, well, actually I do feel your pain, all you can do is get gang banged or watch those P51 runstangs rtb after they drop. The only time I fly fighters anymore is when my squad is trying to take a base and even then I’ll take a bomber if I get the chance. Good 1 v 1 fights are too hard to find, no fun for me,:( so I’m never going to fly fighters enough to be any good at it.

Now let the whines continue but be careful what you wish for...
