Hello all,
Well the Pats kicked the crap out of the colts and the Eagles were not doing much better.
So last night I logged on for my usual AH fix and low and behold it was Sunday Rook Gang Bang night, Knights were down to 9 bases and the fights were just plain gay!
I checked the CT but there are just too few cons in one area to make all the flying worth while. Some times you get lucky but not last night.
So logged off like a crack potato who could not find a score. A couple hours later I checked back in, and to no suprise the MA was just as sh#ty.
So I went to the DA. Thank god there were people there that just wanted to fight! I had a blast, some goods sticks in there last night! The format was a free for all with everyone on the same country, which has it's pros and cons.
-
da is for major dweebs only
-
If that were the case youd be there. BTW youd have to fight so I understand that response comming from you lolh.:D
-
pizza is the best map this game has.
-
Yeah for guys that love to fly to/at 30k for hours on end only to find a con that took off went AFK for 20 mins(BGBMAW :D ) is now also at 30k and still AFK. lolh Whoo hoooo thats some fast paced action.
Wake me when its over.
-
lol.
ten steps to finding a fight on pizza.
1. Grab a 109G10.
2. Find a field that has a semi-large dar bar around it.
3. up from that field.
4. Climb to 25k
5. find the bogies coming to the airfield.
6. pretend like you don see them when you pass over them.
7. come behind them and kill them
8. repeat step 7 till they are all gone.
9. grab a soda while otw back to base.
10. land.

HAHAHA, yeah like I said wake me when it's over. Sorry man life needs to move a little quicker for me.
I find it extreamly boring...
A. Climbing to 25k
B. Booming and zooming, always having to have an advantage.
C. Sneaking up on some poor unsuspectiing con to get the kill.
I like to and enjoy...
A. Actually having to fight the con, rather than sneak up and get my kill.
B. The challenge of a pilot and a plane pitted against one another.
C. Fighting!
What you are doing you could do the same against the AI.

lol...come to think of it i'll just stick to the hth...
-
Yeah rgr that Vort. The MA is so bad these days it isn't worth it. Your right.
-
Why don't you whine some more mars??? Do us rooks cry and whine on the bbs when we're outnumbered or when Bish/Knits team up?? I think not..How about last night when Bish rolled over and gave the knit's bases in an attempt to keep us from winning?? Didn't see any whines about that...
-
Ah, if HT would just put the original Beta map with the "original beta strat" from sometime during the first year up in half the DA. IIRC, in the beginning it just had the old "land the field" from AW days, didn't it? Heck that was fun too... seeing if you could get down and exit before getting shot to atoms.
I think the original beta map was 256x256. They'd still have another 256x256 in there to use for their "opposing airfields at equal alts" DA stuff.
Cripes Ammighty, HT....... give us back those thrilling days of yesteryear! Hi YO SIL-vveeerrrrrr Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
What a game it was then.
Best part is... you wouldn't have to play there. Everyone would be free to choose what they like.

I had good fun killing your re-supply M3's heading to a VH base. It was great killing all those GV's, then killing heavy p51's that were otw to our HQ.
Thankyou rooks for providing us with a target rich enviroment :aok

Nope no whines from Rooks--but yu do sound like yur gonna start bawlin:)

Drinking a soda on the way back to base is against my religion... make it a beer. :D
-
I guess it all depended where on the map your were at. I was in an area where the Rooks were our numbered by the Bish, and I had a blast. Of course it's always a fun night when you fly against the AK's :p

MARS i was there for the DA free for all and I for one had a blast .
Best time i've had on AH in a while .. hope we get to do that again .

How stupid are you caps, I didnt say crap about the numbers except it was Rook Gang Bang night, if it wasnt I'm crying. Ohh it was so STFU. I made a comment about the game play and how poor it has gotten. I enjoy being out numbered. It has made me a much better pilot, but has made this game become very boring since I am used to 3+ vs me and have gotten a liking for that kind of action. Just ask the JBs I have flown into a wall of them many a time just for the challenge, so I could care less that you need to get 2 to 1 odds to do anything.:D It's just more targets for me. So yeah to climb to 20k and search for the lone wolves up there puts me to sleep now.
Do us rooks cry and whine on the bbs when we're outnumbered or when Bish/Knits team up??
Yes you do and did. Rooks cried like little biotches when they were always outnumbered. And no you cant cry when the bish give bases to the knights( if it happend last night thats the first time), because of all the resets that didn't happen when bish were wholesaling out their fields to the rooks when they were out numbered. You guys owe the Bish more than I can count.

Are you potato peeling kidding me lolh. With all the horcheese youv'e posted on these BBs. Easy buddy, my craps are but a mere speck next to the mountains you have lain.:D
Again I made a comment about the crap prettythang style of the current game play. I wouldn't give a crap but I am not going to fly 10 mins only to hit the horde wall. I would love to fly 1 or even 2 mins to hit the horde wall and kill everyone.:D Like I said I'm in it for the fight, and unfortunately they are few and far between on pizzacrap.
Why do I need to make a map. Fester did, proved the point that bases closer together creates better game play for the furballers and doesn't hurt the strat guys and it makes fuel porking less meaningful. Gee those are all real bad things huh.

Beet, I know your slow and s#$t, being all the way across the pond there but catch up pal. That's what this whole thread is about.
BTW - you have said you are rarely on during the times I have mentioned because of your time diff, so it really doesnt apply to you.

Yeah it was!! 8) It's nice when you get a group of people that just want to fight and not play grabprettythang with strat.
Thank god PIZZACRAP is gone, I like this rotation. Man all of a sudden I love Rook Horde night even more. WTG Rooks getting PIZZACRAP off the map quickly! .
I'll c you all next Monday when I get back. :D

It was an honest question. No need to be impolite. I still don't have an answer, so I'll ask the question again. You went to the DA because the environment in the MA was not to your taste. You spoke enthusiastically about the DA, saying that you had had "a blast!". From this, it is clear that an excellent solution is at hand whenever the situation in the MA is not to your liking. (Wrong map, night, fields too far apart) But given that you were able to enjoy your time in the DA with such fervour - without all that silly strat nonsense, GVs and buffs - why not just go there every time? It would save you a lot of time campaigning for the fields to be made closer on all maps, you would get without the 20K sightseeing cherrypick dweebs, and it would be broad daylight whenever you logged on. Plus, all the guys would be likeminded souls. It's a perfect solution...
... so why not just go there whenever you log on?
Otherwise, you sound like one of those religious campaigners standing on a street corner with a megaphone, offering passers by the chance to be "saved" as they walk past laughing at you, or ignoring you.
Look, DA = fights, MA = strat/war/fights. If you're only interested in a third of the game, you know where to go. But quit complaining that there are no oranges growing on your apple tree.
:rolleyes:

Beating the foul mouthed moron over the head with the logic club?
-
I fly around 10k on any MAP setup.....
I find a fight on any MAP setup....
I have really good fun flyin with my squaddies.....
your OBSERVATION is a pointless one.....come find me and we'll have a good time either fighting each other....or winging if you prefer.....bet your prettythang where gonna find a fight.
It's not the MAP's.....its your observation that sucks.
-
if you have to grab a geee 10 to have fun you have defeated the purpose before you start.
lazs
-
if you can *only* have fun in early/mid war planes then you've defeated it just as well.
-
Well, i dont really have an aversion to the pizza map, but I must confess, the smaller maps hold the most enjoyable gameplay. But I am not really sure why?
-
shane... no.. not all late war planes are created equal. some are no good unless they are flown in a manner that removes all fun factor.
your ride, the lala can be fun. If flown "correctly" it would be pretty boring tho. the gee 10 or dee 9 are very limited. They are the enemies of fun. Planes like the yak can be fun... or a typhie...

bzzzt...
ponys are fun. 109g10 is fun. yak's are fun. lala's can be very fun.
the thing is to push them to the edge of their envelope. you can have a blast doing so. no need to fly like a sky accountant. blech. it's all in how one chooses to fly that makes it "fun" for one.
i agree that fweenies are in general limited, especially the d9. and i put the tiff in same category as the d9.
-
"sky accountant" what a catchy phrase.
lazs
-
well it's not everyday that you get 50 people in the DA who are all having a free for all at A1.....I enjoyed it while i was waitin for someone to ask me to duel :D Which always happens lol because i am the sux at flying and everyone likes to massacre me in duels.... Lazs bud, you missed it though :) that furball in the DA woulda brought tears to yer eyes it was so beautiful :D

lazs
it's yours, as you well know. it best describes what style you (and i) consider "not fun."
-
shane.. I am beggining to think you have the right idea. I grab a yak when I get real frustrated at the timid hordes in their late model runners but I know a La7 would be better. If I get real frustrated or bored I grab a tempest and run their unskilled butts down.
I just don't like to think the game has finally gotten so late war/fast plane centric.
The balance has been shifting for a while now... new guys afraid of their own shadow or coming from another sim and afraid to "look bad".... maps that are strictly for late war planes.... "strat" that rewards chossing late war planes and rewards ruining lots of peoples fun.
wish the pendulum would swing back... festers map is some hope.

I would think a tank duel would be kind of boring.

It's back again. I look forward to getting an answer to my question on Monday then.

I used to hate pizza map, but I could never figure out why. Then I realized it wasn't me, it was everybody else around me. I fell in a trap, completely influenced by the negativity, the frustration of many, and perhaps not majority (though it seemed that way at the time).
When pizza map comes up, I order a pizza for delivery, set my plane on autoclimb wait for the pizza dude to deliver, eat a few slices, and with a beer to wash it down. Then, lo and behold I'm at my target and I find it's the only way to fly the Pizza map, is to just eat the map. Now all we need is a Chinese food map, hmmm.
Personally I would like a map where i lift off the runway, and there I am ready to fight with the enemy at their base (oh wait a minute, that's the Fester Map :p ).
-
problem is buzzard that I tend to doze off on pizza map. I do get some household chores done tho and last night I loaded a bunch of ammo for the range.

Whoo Hoooo - I'm back 5 days Snowmobiling in Canada what a rush flying down trails barely wide enough for two snowmobiles on 2004 Polaris 700 sport sleds. 450 miles in 3 days. Was sweet.
Beetle
It was an honest question. No need to be impolite. I still don't have an answer
Sorry beet I thought you were being a d#$K :D
I havn't a problem going to the DA, that's what I did. The MA offers different things that the DA can't- (with out rehashing see slaps and others post to your exact question in other threads).
But the MA has gotten so bad lately that I would love to see a furball arena now.

That's all well and good Slo, but I'm looking for more furball action not so much wandering a map hoping to find one con hear or one con there, maybe find a fight every 5 mins. The pizza map and others have one inhrent problem, the fields are too far apart.
Fester showed that you could move the fields closer without affecting game play for everyone else and creating more furball opportunities.
-
fester is a genius... who woulda thought that simply moving the fields closer together woulda worked out so well?
