well i think it did have a bit of effect even on those that fight it out to the end.
I was really getting bored when the knits were pounded day after day but it did actually make me start screaming at the knits to join in one last mass attack.
I think out of 20 or so knits online at the time 16 or so joined my mission just to shut me up!
I was quoting shakespear at one point! thats enough to make anyone log! hehe
well after several successfull captures and i might add highly enjoyable missions the numbers shifted knits way.I dont claim these missions were the cause but i suspected it was a help.16 ju88s, then 20 odd 109f4s, 26 or so IL2s etc.each mission got bigger and bigger
this was the AH i loved...turning the tide on the brink of defeat.great!.
Only problem is, that most of the time, you spend 20 minutes setting up a mission for 30 or more people and you get 3 or 4 in it and it fails miserably.
like ripsnort said, i think the bashed countries need a weapon they can use to help turn the tide.only problem is give the underdog the he163 and all those rats that leave the sinking ship
will come back so they can use them.
I say form a fourth country and add a treaty system then we can effectively have the 2 sided war if the pilots agree to it.perhaps a vote button each so we can say join or fight a country?
