Anyone who believes any one team is better/worse than the other two is dilusional.

I fly mostly in the mornings and early afternoon and for the past couple of months the rooks have been more organized.  this is one of the main reasons i see for their success.  i salute the rooks for their teamwork.  as for being gang banged, relax and enjoy or hit their strats to where they cant gang bang you.  no one's being forced to play.    (you can get another plane.)

Muckmaw, yes it was an RJO .. although a little more loosely prepped for than most. Sort of a cross between and impromptu and one where squads were rallied intensively by email (only one email sent out instead of several).

As for late war planes .. no idea how to really get the numbers on those. I have been basically flying the P47D-11 for the most part for last camp and this one.

We also tried to spread things out a bit last night with 4-6 Knight bases being attacked at one time and then 2 Biship bases. Only was coordinating about 12 RJO squads. So until toward the end of the night actually tried to only have 2 squads attacking one target at once.

During the assault on A22 well that turned into a slug match where the Knights stopped the offensive as they concentrated their forces and used jets to beat back the attack. Well done.

Over on the Bishop front the was a holding action against a Bishop offensive at A201. Was told A201, A203 and A200 was intense.

There are times and days where for a period Rooks gain air superiority, or better cohesion, or focus. There are other times of the days that the Knights are better organized, cohesived, and focuses and others where its the Bishops.

I'm glad to be a rooky. If it wasn't for all my countrymen's support , I wouldn't be able to get an assist.

Yeah, I remember he was all in a lather because Paul Jr. was complaining that he couldn't work on the bike du jour because the phone was ringing off the hook and nobody was there to answer it, and Paul Sr. was up at the new site looking for his bits.  Or something like that.

That's probably one of his best quotes yet.  

And any scene with Mikey is just pure entertainment at its best.

You know, I fly for enjoyment. If I can't up at a base because it's getting vulched, I'll up at one that isn't. If our side wins, great. If not, oh well. I'll fly attack planes, bombers and fighters depending on my mood and the situation. I enjoy 1 vs. 1 fights and I enjoy rampaging over the nme's fields at will.
     If you don't like the superior numbers the Rooks are putting up, then combine your forces Bish and Knits. Until HT forces the numbers to be balanced, it'll always be this way for one country.
     Our squad left the Knits for the Rooks because the Rooks always seemed more organized. Well, by what happened last night, that seems to be true. Take a lesson and organize your own joint operations.

I met Grimm at the con ... great guy ... fun to talk to and I can imagine him being the overall organizer for the RJO. <> To you all.

BUT ...

I would like to see Gimm and Co. organize and romp the map when numbers are equal. I don't want to piss in your Rook pool (yes I do), but when the Rooks have twice the amount of pilots than the Knights, and more pilots than the combined total of the Bish and Knights, it doesn't take a whole lot 'o organization to romp in any direction they so choose.

I am not one who gives a hoot who wins or who loses these virtual wars, but all this back-slappin' and chest puffin' cause "We are so much more organized than you" is complete BS ... ITS ALWAYS THE  NUMBERS !!! If I am wrong, then the Rook will romp and reset when numbers are basically equal.

Being a Knight, and being in the barrel has resulted in more fun and fights than I could ever ask for ... keep up the good work Rooks and Bish.

Yes,  Its amazing what a little cooperation and organization can do to for a country,   Its not hard to rally a great turn out for the rooks.    

When the Call for an RJO goes out,  I know many in our squad will show up,  when they normaly would not fly.  The same is true for many other squads.   So we almost always have numbers on those nights.  

The truth is, Most Rooks enjoy nights when we are all mostly on the same page, working together.    Its part of the fun for many.   Its the people and squads, working together that makes the Rooks great to fly for.   :)

Im Still waiting for our opponets to get organised..  (hint, hint)
