You're actually suggesting the Knits or Bish are much different? Switch sides and see. It's what you make of it or.....what it is. :D

all sides are like it think now...
the last weeks of AHI seemed great. the RJO proved how well a side with alittle organisation could do. Now, AHII seems to be filled with newbies, and vets that really cant be arsed to do anything anymore.
result?
empty missions
no fun etc
the game looks alot better but gameplay has taken a dive in the last 6 months.... at least in my eyes
edit: i have just changed to rooks for the same reason...wanting to see if the grass is greener.....
-
Whatever happened to the RJO?

We all make our sides what they are....
Forgot to ask. How are you liking yer 9700 pro? I have one but I'm still using my GeF 4. I've been told they are about the same for FR/options.

2.03 screwed my FPS now... and AHII looks like AHI to get it playable:rolleyes:
its starting to struggle with new games too, and since i have to use 1280x1024 because of my TFT i cant get a "easy" performance increaes by backing my res down.
thinking about getting a X800XL (£220), X800XTPE (£309) or a X850XT (£319)....i cant decide! lol
oh and btw so far rooks seems to have more team work so far...but its only been a day
knits idea of Team work is to turn the CV when your trying to land a damaged AR234 on it then laughing at you and insulting you when you crash into the tower. Coarse i think thats because "new" players are starting as knits?

A bunch of crack-wipes whined about it, so we got ENY-denial in response, and it just kind of went away.

Hehe, I kinda like Kelly's explanation :cool:. The last official RJO we ran was in January. Many of the original core organizers are getting a little long in the tooth, and it's been hard to recruit Squad leads to host a mission since then.
Sure, ENY put a little crimp in things, but luckily I think we are seeing a re-birth of the RJO, with some renewed interest by new leaders like Savage of the 327th and Scotch of the CAF. Had a couple impromptu RJOs recently, and look for an official RJO very soon ;).
Everything that goes around comes around. RJO isn't dead, was just in hibernation :p.
Cya Up!

I'll see if I can get some of my guys to join up.

If you ask me, way back when the ENY was first implemented everything started to go down hill.......Since, i'd say 1/3 of the rooks top players have now switched sides leaving us overwhelmingly out numbered except sundaynights 8 PM.
What really gets me going is when I check country status, such as last night.....Inflight- Rooks, 92....Nits 171.....ENY-3.2
Thats just a load of BS
-
Oh I don't mind having smaller numbers. When I first went Rook it was specifically BECAUSE they consistently had smaller numbers (as a new guy here, I saw that as making it easier for me to try the perked rides). I've just stayed through the "RookHorde" days because I am a creature of habit. If we turn into the underdogs again I'll be OK with that.

Well I will tell you one thing (and hopefully its this way in all sides), the rooks country channel sucks balls...more people there care about chatting than getting anything done.

hehe Dipstick, i can tell you i'm not BK material because I can't fly worth a flip! All you BK guys are far beyond my abilities! :p I do love doing my own thing in the MA though, and lots o times it isn't what everyone else wants to do!

There simply ARENT that many Rooks that could give a watermelon if we gettin steamrolled---if ya invest too much mental capital in that stuff, game tends to be less and less fun after a while.
(NOT helping is that a BOATload of Rooks seem to have found various reasons for migrating to the larger countries over last few months) Aside from that, there are only 1 or 2 REALLY big squads on Rooks,. that I know of...and large squads are backbone of gettin watermelon done
-
It's amazing on how I have been termed an "a**hole on country channel" for these same sentiments. But this is VERBATIM of what I have been trying to get across to Rookland for WELL OVER a week. We have to post a thread about this? You all know what the **** we have to do, yelling in here, and NOT doing ANYTHING about it in the MA are two different things.

I'm a furballer, I dont care anything about winning (or losing) the war, and I rarely capture bases, though if I'm at a base being taken I always help. The stupid thing about last night is, the 40+ "strat Generals" were up at A4 trying to take it (somebody explain again why A4 was soooooo important?), meanwhile the Knights rolled over 20+ bases UNOPPOSED in the 11 hours the Rooks wasted at A4. After getting vulched at several bases in the South trying to defend alone against Knithordes I gave up. Just to be a jerk, every 15 min for the next 11 hours I'd ask "hey, how soon 'til we take A4?" knowing full well it wouldnt happen.
So, after about 11 hours of the Rooks trying to take A4 and me being a jerk pointing out that we hadn't taken it yet while the Knights rolled base after base, I decided that it would be only fitting if I took it myself. We had a CV close, and I launched an LVT and drove unopposed to the town. I needed some help from the ships 8" guns and a TBM (thanks again hub) to get the last buildings down, and the base was taken. It took all of 5 minutes.

>>but eight Rooks chasing after one wounded enemy bomber at sea level is just our "style".<<
Hehe, and one of the dumbest approaches to tactics I, or anyone else has ever seen. Rooks have more kill stealers than ever before also, and dumb (%%^&)'s are on the rise in recent months. For example:
There is an art to setting up a base to vulch it; the quality of our vulchers seem to have diminished. No longer do many Rooks hit a base and make sure the acks are down; hehe, now they cruise around at 20 to 10k over the base and dip down on the base to snipe at an nme upping. Towns are left up and troops are dropped on the field instead of the town.
Methinks the Nits or Bish have poisoned our gene pool ;(
But hope springs eternal :aok

I tend to go where the numbers are lowest.....and without fail, the conversation is ALWAYS the same.
"We're not organized, are always this way! I think I'll go cause they know how to work together!"
I think the more important question is. Are YOU having fun?

We need the Supreme Commander Ladder. Last man alive becomes the Supreme Comanding Dictator for Life (or until challenged and defeated)

Well, from what I see in the MA, there's already about a dozen Supreme Commanders in each country. At least in their own minds.
We'll probably have to sort that out first.
In the meantime, I'm going to post a mission, since everyone screams for that too.
Feel free to copy my mission and distribute it amongst your countrymen.
Here it is:
"The mission of the Air Force is to fly and to fight, and don't you forget it."
This mission is usually attributed to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen John P. McConnell, but I don't think he'd mind if we followed his mission plan.
I think this mission would vastly improve gameplay.
Feel free to post it in the MA as often as you like.
-
Supreme Commander needs to have his own chat font/color and a way to issue directives that stay in the chat buffer (maybe top of it when you hit the ` key) so people can refer to it.

A TRUE SUPREME COMMANDER NEED NOT UTTER A WORD!!! HEADS ROLL WHEN FAILURES ARISE!!!

lol this is funny. People wanna complain about Rooks not working together and stuff like that. I tell ya why...
Right now, especially as of late, there has been a line drawn in the sand and the fighters or on one side, and bombers are on the other. All the bombers want to do is kill the fighter hangars. That's all the worry about. Now I'm not saying all, but most. When the bombers kill the FHz it pushes the fighters away cuz there's nothing for them to do. Which in turn causes a lack of cap for the bombers, which means the base doesn't get taken.
You wanna give the rooks a kick? Try killing the VH, and the town. Leave the fighter hangars up so the fighters have something to do why the bombers do their thing. When the bombers take out the FHz and not the VH, that just causes the people in the fighters who were upping in planes to now up in vehicles, which the fighters are once again discouraged by. And for those pilots that don't up in vehicles, they'll up from a back base and come in with more alt, which causes more problems than those who were upping from the field.
Bases used to get taken without killing the fighter hangars, so we know it can be done. If you are serious about "working together" quit alienating the help.
P.S. I don't wanna hear "Try being the goon who gets shot down from an upping plane." Cuz there's no difference between getting shot down from an upping plane or losing 1 troop to a GV thats parked in the town. It both ends with the same result.

I have been trying to head into the areas where the biggest fight is for the past few months, and I've got to tell ya, lately it doesn't seem to work. By the time I get there the enemy dar bar shrinks to nothing and there is a vulch on. So, after I die or land my kills, I'll try to find another one only to see that one gone as well. This seems to go on for about an hour, then I log.
Just haven't found a great fight lately, but I'm really not into doing the missions anymore. I don't want to take numbers into a base then deack and just land the scalps of the poor fools that tried to up. That seems how it normally goes. The war doesn't matter to me, and really taking bases goes right along with that.
I did switch sides one night and flew with some BKs, 38Maw, and some other knights looking for a fight and it was good fun. As for some of the knights, I see them screaming about the same things. Bish used to do this all the time when I flew with them over a year ago... we all do it.
Fly how you want to fly and keep company with those who you enjoy flying with. :aok
-
Guess I better set this back on track ...
What started this rant was the fact that all of saturday over 100 rooks hung out at a4 while we lost over 30 bases with pratically no resistance (There was a handfull of us trying to stop them) is the vulchfest / kill shootering yourself at a4 that important ? and how many kills did ya get ?? (I got over 75 and not from a4 )
In the Rook days of old most of us logged in looked for the biggest nmy dar bar and went to work .. not look for the biggest green dar bar and play it safe in numbers and fighting over vulches ...
-
Rooks don't listen, you doing fine. Rosco doesn't know of what he speaks. Just stare at A4, rooks you are getting sleepy, very sleepy, when i snap my fingers you will all converge on A4 but do not take it.

Is horde capturing bases that important? Is how many resets you were logged on for that important?
I think the true question should be did the guy paying his $15/mo have fun?
Nobody enlisted in AH fer pete's sake. This isn't really a war for national survival.
Now, if everytime I was on the winning side in a reset the HTC computer would instantly auto-order a pizza and a sixpack delivered to my house free of charge, I'd probably be a bit more interested in resets.

We do it all the time. Even do it with other squads in the area. It just doesn't sink in for some of them.

Bish, still do it. Whine complain, it's all the same.
I agree, try and find a good fight and when you find one a few things will always seem to happen,
1. One side will be losing more planes and those players getting shot down will leave for easier pickings leaving those who want to stay in the fight hopelessly outnumbered.
2. The bombers will come in way high, kill the FHz and their hoard buddies will swarm our field. (Or our own id10ts will do the same to the other side)
