All of that red for a friggin' Port?! :rofl :rofl

Well it's not the knights since they are outnumbered big time! Well maybe it is them all 59 of them going for one base!
DuHasst

Talk about edges that are begging to be worked. Dammit I hate being employed.

Doesn't look like the dar circle should extend out that far. I don't understand how you are seeing them????

As i was in my 152. I climbed to 5k and swung back around. They dove on town and I gto about 3 or 4 of them before I was dogpiled.

That first picture is another nice example of why we need zone eny.

Actually it's an airfield.

well i pulled your stats and you have exactly ONE kill in a ta152 as of my post....
best of luck with this idiotic post...at least try not to lie in a way that is so easily checked...
and yes i do believe that is a port/airbase....where were the 90+ rooks while this huge darbar was launched???
suffering fools is the part of this game that is hardest to take..... :rolleyes:

I think we found out who was part of the horde!!!!!

I can HOWEVER guarantee that you didnt up to defend against it :x

You're right. Because, unlike many of the poor souls who were on last night, I was at the fair having fun with my friends. And just because YOU weren't there does not mean the parties I implied were NOT. :aok
-
Yeah it is, look at the town blip ;)
Of course it is :aok but the story is sooooo much better if we ignore the facts....lets also pretend that the rooks weren't "hording" another base and were involved in "fair fights" and "equal" base takes....AND lets even go so far as to suggest the Bish should be attacking the undermanned knits instead of launching a mission against the more evenly matched rooks....
heck lets pretend that a 5k ta152 turned into the horde and shot down 4-5 before getting ganged....
Nah screw it...lets just whine about it....
-
It's hard to deny that each country hordes just like the others. But it's also hard to deny that there aren't people on each country that hates being part of a horde or being horded. Which is one of the main reasons I tend to go into Mid War more often than Late War whenever I do decide to play.

Now what particular group may be more inclined to horde?......hmm that is a tough one. :uhoh

I couldn't agree more :aok

nope...wasn't part of that...

And why would anyone WANT to up to defend against it? Not a lot of fun fighting against 5 enemy let alone 50+ :rolleyes:

2 auto guns and a barn. :D

Via PMs today I learned that my remarks in this thread struck a nerve with you, along with how I'm clueless and need to grow up. Well, my friend, if comments like the one I made really just made you shed a tear, let me enlighten you. If you don't want your name or your squad's name connotative with the issue at hand there's a simple solution--don't do it :aok. Not just calling you and your squad out, but those that also partake in said "hording." Also, if letting little pixelated names, those that you may never meet, ruffle your feathers am I really the one that needs to grow up when I know I'm a teen and you're what....40?

Well lets put the facts out on the table again shall we anklehumper?
1. You WERE a member of BoPs
2. You left as many have to find other fun in the game...no hard feelings
3. You would fly on our channel as other ex-bops do when you would fly bish..again totally cool
4. You began trying to "run" missions and got minimal participation from the squad
5. You began showing up with alt to oppose BoP missions and bragging on 200 about killing us....this OFTEN occurred shortly after being on our channel/country and seeing us post aforementioned mission....
6. The guys decided they didn't want you on channel anymore and told you as much...
7. You ACTUALLY seemed shocked by this???
8. Your own squad leader at the time (Karaya) kicked you out of his squad (303rd) because of some of these behaviors...
9. You began pm'ing me and sending me BBS messages asking for my advice on what to do...
10. I politely told you that you were too young and needed to give it time. Leave the squad alone. Go away etc etc..
11. You, acting like the teenager you are, have no concept of what that means and continue to show up on our channel and have been consistently told you are not welcome.
12. TONIGHT you begin pm'ing me about it AGAIN...I waste my time time telling you that making snide comments about BoPs on the BBS and then wanting to hang out with us doesn't work. You again act shocked so I end the session by telling you that you are clueless.
13. You then tell me that IF i am a doctor for real then you are going to give me some of my own medicine...i guess this post is what you were threatening???
I love the BoPs....I don't mind our name being associated with anything that we do for fun. YOU are a squad ankle humper of the truest sense...so when YOU post about our squad it IS annoying since you eagerly participated in ALL our missions and would STILL if we hadn't kicked you off channel and made clear you weren't welcome. I still have the private BBS messages you sent me and I have todays film when you were pm'ing me if you would like any of these posted....
Dismissed :t

Not so fast my friend...This was tonight....yes..those are 3 1/2 darbar of rooks rolling 141...but WAIT a doggone minute!!! Is that Bish pilots rolling out of 141 and defending against gv and air assault????? I TRIEd to stop them...I tried to tell them it wasn't fun ( i told them Fuge would roll his eyes at them)....but they insisted on defending against enormous odds!!!!! Its too bad our dar wasn't working so you could see how many rook planes were in the air...
INstead those crazy bish fought back...killed the troops at the vbase...sent 5-6 guys to drop ord/fhs at the nearest rook airbase...and watched the rook darbar dwindle to nothing.....the Bish also took the southern vbase about an hour later...
The ONLY difference between this screenie and the one originally posted was that there were 3 times as many rooks attacking a small field (gvs dont add to the radar so there were probably more) AND GHI called it out and the bish responded by upping to meet the attack in force...BTW the rooks did drop fhs but those crazy bish kept upping anyway...
LUCKILY... Nex/StokesAK was on the rooks side and I tried to contact him via ch 200 to encourage him to post a screenshot. For some reason (probably racking up those 152 kills at 5k) he didn't respond.... :rock
-
Sheesh, dunno what the big deal is - every country has a horde depending on what time players are on.
As for the getting personal etc, who the hell cares - if you have fun flying in a horde, help yourself, if you have fun killing a horde, help yourself.
Can fighting a horde get annoying - yes, but its a freaking game - play how YOU want to play, and let others play how THEY want to play.
How exactly is this tirading at each other on the boards helping???? Anyone feel better for it?, or just feeling annoyed etc?
Sheesh,
just my 0.00002p worth,

Falconwng, nice screen shot from the Bish side. I saw that fight evolve over a few hours starting with a Rook CV near 141. First, Rooks were vulching 141 and ignoring high Bish inbound from the north, and their CV was sunk. Immediately afterward, there was a big bish strike into 140, which took out the vh and the fh's, but the town was never down. Once it was clear 140 wasn't going to be captured, the Bish were showing up at 151, and all of the Rooks who had been defending 140 upped at 151 together (or so it seemed). Sometime after that is when I think you took your screen shot. :)
Part of the reason for why there were so many of us in the area was circumstance. The first place I went when I logged on was 99 because a squad mate was there, but when it was a few of us versus a dozen high P-51s, a couple 190s and 4 262s, I said "screw that" and landed wheels up to avoid the vulch. So I moved to TT, but the fighter hangars were down. Then I went to a field where some rooks were fighting Knights, but the fighter hangars were down. I almost logged at that point, as the only fight with fighter hangars and a full enemy dar bar also had big sectors of friendly dar bar. These fights would be more fun if it weren't for the semi-retarded behavior you see on both sides. I can't tell you how many times someone came in to shoulder-shoot my targets last night while a 2nd bandit was lining us up, and on multiple occasions I dragged 5 or 6 Bish toward higher friendlies who came to my help.

Well lets put the facts out on the table again shall we anklehumper?
1. You WERE a member of BoPs
Sign that you have had/do have more members in a squad than you should....never, in my career in Aces High, have I EVER been a member of the BoPs. Just a mere friend on the channel :aok. Let's try some more 'facts' shall we...
4. You began trying to "run" missions and got minimal participation from the squad
One night deal, one mission. Didn't have any takers on bish so I ran it on the knights side and took a bish base.
5. You began showing up with alt to oppose BoP missions and bragging on 200 about killing us....this OFTEN occurred shortly after being on our channel/country and seeing us post aforementioned mission....
With a squad that size, it's hard to NOT run into them when I go out hunting for a red dar bar. WTF am I supposed to do, say "let's not defend those 30+ guys headed to our v-base (yes, it was a v-base because I remember shooting the goon beside the maproom)...it may be the BoPs." Yeah, ok. I'll refrain from killing bish from now on...don't wanna make someone cry because I killed them in a game that requires.....killing. And do you honestly believe I was paying attention to your mission details as I was planning my own?
11. You, acting like the teenager you are, have no concept of what that means and continue to show up on our channel and have been consistently told you are not welcome.
Again, like I said last night, I was on your channel after a country change. Since I was there and it had been a few months since I have even BEEN on that channel (again more "facts" you seemed to miss), I asked if I could fly with the few that were on. They said "no" along with the rude comments of "GTFO." So, I did...anything else?
13. You then tell me that IF i am a doctor for real then you are going to give me some of my own medicine...i guess this post is what you were threatening???
No, If I recall correctly you had just told me that I needed to grow up. I then said, and I quote "A taste of your OWN medicine would prolly help a lot of things." By saying that, something that anyone with a 5th grade reading comprehension level can understand, I meant that you should "practice what you preach" and grow up yourself. Funny, I teen having to point this out to an adult...
That is all...

Speaking of zooming in that far........ Is it just me or do some of those red dots look more like red specks and red dashes? Do somebody use a crappy image editor to add a little red? :lol
Yep, I guess he was just zoomed in farther than I usually have mine. Threw me off.
But my only guess is, it wasn't the Knits........ :aok
-
personally, it doesn't much matter to me. if the base i'm uping from gets swamped, then i up from the nearest base, and come back with alt......and then the picking begins :devil
at least till i'm stupid enough to give up all my alt.....then i die rather quickly. :rofl

No doubt my friend...I simply took the screenie when i logged in to illustrate my point. I also have little doubt that the first screenie does not reflect what had occurred over the previous few hours as well...
After rereading your post I think this screenshot occured prior to the events you describe...7-8 bops were the p51s that disabled 140 to allow some breathing room and relieve pressure on 141...we didnt hit the town because we weren't trying to take it. But all good...
So to sum up...
1. this happens to all countries by all countries
2. every country has its mission planners and multi-wing squads
3. Hordes can be fun if you have other teammates who dont mind fighting them with you
4. Some hordes simply evolve and arent planned
My favorite "horde" squad is a rook squad who has a player with 4-5 accounts who flies multiple flights of buffs over to drop a field before his squad shows up to take an undefendable field. For me that is gamier then most...
The most fun I have in the game is defending against noe's and cv attacks...quick fights with high adrenaline and instant satisfaction...doesn't get much better then that :rock

Stokes, restraint is a virtue.

Multiple computers. The guy's name is tunes (tunes1, tunes2...) and he maintains multiple paid accounts for doing personal bomber missions.

It's just a Horde..... not Holy Horde.... no religion allowed. :aok

Reports from the Bish HQ have unveiled their new tactic: Formation HORDING!!! After months of practice, failed base captures, and beatings on the BBS, this new tactic is a guaranteed success!

Tunes is a helluva guy. Besides, if you are complaining about it, up a plane and kill the buffs, he can't man all of their guns.
I talked to him one day and he said he pays for all the accounts because it keeps him out of the bar.

dam......that's almost too much work to be fun. he must sit there like a madman, going back n forth from computer to computer, to drop all ords on target, etc..........

I watch for and try to wing the lead in 2 groups. Has to be funny watching him try to bail once from each craft as it tumbles.

Im still reeling that FalconWng looked at my stats. :lol

Oh tunes has padded my k/d many times ;)
But it is akin to playing mariokart and controlling multiple cars to keep the other player down....it creates an advantage that others can't/don't have since i can't control 4 la7s to simultaneously attack his buffs....
I'm definitely not accusing him of cheating and he is very open about it with the way he names his accounts...and I don't doubt he is a nice guy...
I point it out only because some folks who have posted and fly primarily as rooks seem to only see one side of the coin... :cool:
-
I hear he has buffitis in his left hand....

Not so fast my friend...This was tonight....yes..those are 3 1/2 darbar of rooks rolling 141...but WAIT a doggone minute!!!

Not going to argue with you about horde any more Falc. You either don't read what I type, or have a problem understanding what I type.
I AGREE WITH YOU that it happens on all countries. I try very hard not to single out a squad or even a country when I talk about hordes. I do find it VERY funny that you defend hordes so valiantly.
Nothing good comes from a horde. They promote poor game play. Fights are gone because it is now a gang fest after the few defenders. This also promotes more HO's because you have to get your shot in before your 7 other squad mates get theirs in on the one guy they are chasing. Which also promote vulching because they can't shoot as fast as the 7 guys chasing the one defender so they go after slower less maneuverable target wattling down the runway.
As for getting a few guy together to defend against it.... ya that sounds like fun too. You said 4-5 guy went up and pork bases. Yup love killing none moving buildings...lots of fun there. I'll bet most of those guy lawn darted the targets as well because heck the target was hit, need to up and hit another to win the war. Again, doing away with fighting.
The horde avoids fighting, I look for fighting. I don't want to watch the map, find a big dar bar building , anticipate where they are going to hit, climb to a bizzlion feet in a Temp or Ta152, find said horde make a few passes killing 0-8 of the horde (less than 10% of the resources of a group that has 400% the resources it needs to take the SINGLE base they are hitting) to either RTB of die in the attempt. No fight what so ever in that senario. If I thought climbing for half an hour or making BnZ to fire on sitting ducks fun I'd be flying that stupid Microsoft flight sim crap!
HTC has said he believes that hordes are bad for the game. Someday it will again come to a head (last time we got split arenas) and he will make a change again. Running huge mission doesn't mean you have to run in a horde. Its up to those who like to run big missions to set them up so they don't become hordes. You "commanders" have a chance to fix it, or we can wait and HTC WILL fix it.
-
Steve has it right.....that is a ton of targets!!!!

How would zone eny work?
Not sure, but it seems that if there are 15 + guys coming in to kill a field you wouldn't want the bases eny to go up.
How would you launch missions? If there are 10 friendlies in the sector that I want to fly from why should their presence effect my plane choice..
Just some questions we should answer.

Ahh, good. Seems people are taking me way too seriously these days. :D
I could go for some Dr. Pepper. All I get left are these vitamin-water health drinks. :uhoh
I had a teacher in high school named Dr. Pepper.

Tunes is a helluva guy. Besides, if you are complaining about it, up a plane and kill the buffs, he can't man all of their guns.
He doesnt need too, he generally bails out of all of them after dropping their ords.

Not going to argue with you about horde any more Falc. You either don't read what I type, or have a problem understanding what I type.
The truth lies somewhere in the middle..... :t
I AGREE WITH YOU that it happens on all countries. I try very hard not to single out a squad or even a country when I talk about hordes. I do find it VERY funny that you defend hordes so valiantly.
Actually i was addressing the op's implicit suggestion that because a mission was running that it was a "certain" bish squad behind it....my postings illustrated that when you are on the receiving end it is a "horde" and as anax chose to look at what I called a horde...he instead saw it as a coincidence. It took me all of the time it took to log on to be able to quickly capture a screenie to refute this.
Nothing good comes from a horde. They promote poor game play. Fights are gone because it is now a gang fest after the few defenders. This also promotes more HO's because you have to get your shot in before your 7 other squad mates get theirs in on the one guy they are chasing. Which also promote vulching because they can't shoot as fast as the 7 guys chasing the one defender so they go after slower less maneuverable target wattling down the runway.
This is your myopic view...I guess YOUR idea of fun is better captured by your behavior the other night when you upped a ta152 and chased a tiffie 2 sectors back to his base. You were upset with the player because he wouldn't turn and fight you. The reason I was aware of this was because you spammed ch 200 with insults and said you were filming him. You would rather chase one guy out of the 300 that were on to harrass him/her then go find another fight??? I was over at fitertown/tank town dogfiting...there were plenty of targets there...
As for getting a few guy together to defend against it.... ya that sounds like fun too. You said 4-5 guy went up and pork bases. Yup love killing none moving buildings...lots of fun there. I'll bet most of those guy lawn darted the targets as well because heck the target was hit, need to up and hit another to win the war. Again, doing away with fighting.
Yes...while one bish squad held the base our squad took action to try and slow the attack down...i got 4 kills after i dropped...so yep was fun!!! The result was the "horde" was stopped and didnt regain its steam...
HTC has said he believes that hordes are bad for the game. Someday it will again come to a head (last time we got split arenas) and he will make a change again. Running huge mission doesn't mean you have to run in a horde. Its up to those who like to run big missions to set them up so they don't become hordes. You "commanders" have a chance to fix it, or we can wait and HTC WILL fix it.
Truly it IS HiTech's world and we get to play in it using the parameters he has set up. So far we have adapted through all the changes and in general I have liked all of them. Oddly enough I am having fun and thus continue to pay my $15/month for the privilege. :cool:

There is 2 types of hordes in my book: organized and unorganized. The organized ones are usually the 30 guys going trying to take an undefended target NOE or not NOE..its a silly tactic. The unorganized hordes are the ones that usually result in furballs gone bad where people just join that fight because thats where the action is at. One side usually gets smacked around, base gets capped etc..

A spy sent me a film from Bishop mission HQ. I think some Bish may defect having seen the error of their ways.

Lmao!! :rofl
Same couple guys complaining about the same old thing!!
Apparently there are ALOT of people who don't come to these BBs who have a different opinion.
Then you have the same old same old minority of dweebs coming in here trying to tell these guys that they aren't having fun and are playing the game wrong!
The avoiding fights argument is probably the funniest statement made in these BBs, because its ususally made by guys who fly for the easy (smart) kills.
I still don't get why they care how the majority of players in here have their fun.
Its a BIG map, go find some fun of your own.
If you don't like fighting against the so called hordes that pop up occassionaly , don't.
The "Chicken Littles" on the BBs would have us believe that there is an incessant horde that travels the map ruining EVERYONES fun EVERY day.
But most people know that isn't true.
Its basicly just another couple whiners using the boards for their own lobbying purposes.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like fighting around so called "hordes" either.
But unlike the vocal minority, I don't whine about it.
I just don't fight around them when they happen to appear.

If they are doing it, it's a hoard. If we are doing it, it's a mission :D
