I don't think I'll ever understand the desire to avoid enemy planes or fighting in this game. This just baffles me.

Hazed, the best way to stop that is just to make them public by the country that receives the information.

I think Mini-D pretty much said it best. What makes you think that it wasn't the Dar Bar that gave away your mission? As soon as you see a large enemy 'dar bar in a sector, you know it's a mission inbound and the way most people fly in here, it's very easy to predict their route and then set up an interception.

I guess it's easier to blame others for a failed mission than on yourself.

ack-ack

Had a strange encounter last night. We had a missun goin with only 10 in it. Ofcourse it was a missun to break up the regular routine. So we upped 109e4 and stukas. Well during our climb out along comes 2 cons on dar. We were still in a friendly sector so all they could see was a dar bar. Then we noticed that they are not looking for us they know where we are exactly and are making a b line straight for us. Not in visual range yet we press on and they are hot on our tail. So the 109s head towards the threat to meet them. Its a temp and a 109g series. the temp engages 5 109e's but we notice that the 109 presses on joined by a p38 now heading straight for the stukas which our not in visual range. To make along story short we questioned how they knew exactly where we were. Answer: "We saw how slow the dar bar was moving and figured it was bombers."

I must admit that was an interesting answer... Never seen dar move slowly.

Poor Levi. Let me explain. It's the holy grail, it's "strateeeegery".

There. Got it?

This place is getting more and more like a schoolyard every day.

Heh I am all for fighting but when 40 planes are inbound and its just you and 2 friends.....its time to find someplace else to go. That may be coming in behind the horde and taking on stragglers, but to stand in the front of the freight train steaming right at you and trying to put up resistance isnt too smart.

Hazed..... I believe that this has got to be the most ridiculous complaint I have ever seen on this board. I mean.....for Cod's sake.....are we not allowed to kill goons now?!?!

Well I guess i'll just have to Ruin the Bishorcs Spy here and reveil its name..... ( i followed this spy all over the place and it did not fly at all, it just kept moving to the next rook base that they planed to hit .... ) Ahhh just think of the 15 bucks wasted for this one.....

And the Winning name of the Bish's Spy Is...... Candi

Go look at its stats for the this tour and last mo's tour .
(they used it to spy on bolth Rooks and Knits)

Sorry Bishorcs but if you need a spy to win bases when you got Numbers advantage Well ......maybe you should go play RA 2 they have lots of cheats in the game.

Sling, I believe that is "counter strateegery". However, it also plays into the hands of the "strateegery" guys; it accomplishes their goal of bloodless conquest.
