Here's my question....probably already been brought up as well.
If the LCA is going to be the "Next Big Thing" why not , in the spirit of fairness , make an Anti-LCA horde. Knights or Bish or (good gosh can't believe I think it could happen) possibly BOTH form an alliance at times when the LCA are BUFF HORDING and meet em in mass with fighters?
I mean it would be almost like a REAL air battle wouldn't it? 40-50 fighters , dropping Buffs?
Surely when the LCA get's on its roll , everyone knows where they are at. Just make a mission and up a ton of fighters to meet em? Probably wouldn't take 2 or 3 sorties and the would give up and move to attacking the other country. They can do the same. If it were that it was in close to a border base for both countries , perhaps they could up in mass cooperativly.
Just a thought.

I'm a Rook and I'd so this if they were killing furballs.

One of the reasons why the 475th here on knights. :t
-
It's THE reason I'm Knights, well and the fact Knights been hopelessly outnumbered by Rooks lately..

Funny thing is, for all your bluster you guys
have been no shows in every theater we
have been operating in.
But I have to tip my cap to the "Mafia Wize Guys" and the
"Birds of Prey". They gave it to us good for a while.
Neither of us were giving up any ground.
It was a complete stalemate for hours. The
only thing that tipped the tide in our favor is
that more of us apparently suffer from insomnia. :huh
Good fight! <<>>!
Maybe we'll yet run into you boyz from
the "475th" or the "Blue Knights".
Like I said before, we're not that hard to find.
Just go where the dominoes are falling.
We'll be there...wearing our diapers. :aok

sorry delta, once again, hate to burst your bubble, but you, as in lca, have run into us already. you changed bases 3 times, we followed 3 times, no base captures. you may of not been on, but a few we shot down was from your squad. sorry again to burst your bubble.

Um ok thats why we stopped 2 of your tries at taking bases. We were killing your members reapeatedly on both occasions and massacred them at I believe it is a8 now not sure on the field number. We ended up vulching them as they couldnt stay up long enough. Weve shot down your buff dweebs and there are pilots in your group you can ask as reference.

Thats okay Hoarach.
We regenerate. :D

LCA better watch out when 50 bops looking for them on squad night....note if not all 80 on:D

We regenerate

Well 96...
First off I must say that this LCA or whatever it is , is fine. I really could care less. I'm to the point that if someone comes in and kills my fun , I either log or start a fight someplace else. The squad I am in are pretty good at starting a fight with absolutley no intent on capturing the base.
Also , I'm not in the BK's or the 475th. Those guys are WAY to good for me. They all shoot me down on a regular basis when the were flying rooks or bish either one.
I'm just wondering since there is an "LCA" why not make an "LCA Buster Alliance". Dedicated to stopping the Buffs where ever they may be. Fighter Jocks with an appetite for BUFF Hunting on a LARGE Scale.
-
Strac let me know what night you want to hit the knits, I think we can put a couple squads up against ya.
68th, Chawks, FB's, Fiters Inc, Pigstompers, JG44,armed and hammered,M.A.W, kiss my havoc and so on.
Ya feel lucky philly flatfoot, well do ya?

doobs,
My 113th brother!
Tell ya what, we're in the early stages of planning
a mega mission. If it ever gets off the ground I'll
tip you off when it starts. When we start taking
off I'll send ya a PM.
You just have to find us. :)
Would be a titanic clash...and I'm sure A LOT OF FUN!
-
you did? musta missed that. blew up all the same. only thing was, didnt end up in same airspace when regenerated, went to some base with no defense till we got there. keep it up though, been fun thwarting your efforts.

Hi RedTop,
Actually, all of us in the LCA advocate exactly that!
The historical feel is all the more palpable when
big bomber missions encounter big intercept missions.
We're not always in BUFs but what you have in mind
...
Sounds like a lot of fun for all of us!
-
Excuse me...is there an adult arena somewhere?
-
this delta clown still acting like he's bringing something new and special to the game... lol :lol
-
Hey wetrat,
Guess you don't remember me but we used to be
squad mates in the 113th Lucky Strikes.
Maybe I'm mistaken though?
My memory has been fading as the years tick by..
Of course, I went by the nickname of StracCop then.
Oh well.

So, basically you'll be hiding in the middle of the milk running hord while wearing diapers? Kinky and yet so very sad.

I like this Delta guy, he knows how to stir things up.
-
Well, the biggest problem is that when the LCA is up, the other 2 countries are badly outnumbered by the Rooks anyway.
Only way to counter the LCA is to weaken our defences elsewhere or form an LCA-busting alliance with the other outnumbered country. I would love to see such an alliance.
-
If you're single purpose is to shoot down enemy aircraft then having the LCA opposing you in a sector should be a godsend.
what thuh hells thuh problem?
If all squad behaved like the LCA, Hitech wouldnt have to coad us a ToD/CT.
-
its true. while i think the LCA milkrunning is way lame, i'd love to see a massive air battle. could be fun

Its be fun if it were a battle of attrition, ie 1 life. Last man landing is el primo de los mofos con aces alto.
Or 1 life every 10 minutes al la Americas Army. Dispatching someone to their digital demise 30 seconds into a mission and they're dead watching everyone else for 9:30 ... its a good motivator.
You dudes who speak of the alleged skill it takes to "fly your plane", the cream would definitely rise to the top and you could chest thump and hoot all over the bbs until people get violently ill... or retreat with screaming diarrhea.
-
so before you were delta you were someone else that no one ever heard of?
speaking for the BK's.... even tho no one can really speak for the BK's....
We will ignore you or just move somewhere where people are having fun. What you do is pretty boring to us... the only thing I can think of that would be more boring than doing what you do would be.....
to try to stop you from doing it.

our squad, ZG-1 has been mostly absent from the MA for several tours now simply because most of our team members prefer a more historically based game play that is simply lacking in the mostly arcade arena. our squad is fairly proficient at knocking down bombers, we would be interested in helping with spoiling the LCA types' toolshedding forays. we current don't fly rooks but we are considering returning and perhaps switching to nits to take advantage of the prey that is apparently abundant lately.
I would be interested in knowing a little more about these LCA types, such as what bomber do they favor? what alts do they fly? what times are they typically commencing their strikes? Do they prefer to shut down furballs or are they HQ raiders? Do they perform more than one strike per evening? Thanks in advance for the information.

#1 - American buffs I believe
#2 - staggered alts from 5k to 25k, it just depends, the bulk of the planes in the mission I saw were around 12k'ish
#3 - whenever they have a gigantic #'s advantage
#4 - furball killers from what I've seen
#5 - I'm really unsure about that, & the above statements are based on one encounter & what they have said themselves
I recall delta saying in this very thread he would P.M. someone ( can't remember who ) and let them know when the diapers were flying, but it would be up to them to find out where. I think I ran across one of these "diaper-runs" once; a few knights were barely hanging on to a base & we were outnumbered near 2-1 odds. I looked into the distance for cons & saw at least twenty boxes of buffs inbound I believe they were in either 24's or 26's ( sorry can't remember ) I almost landed & went somewhere else since the odds jumped to like 10 - 1 & I'm not that great of a pilot. Instead I picked out a box that was near enough to me that I could climb to & hammered away with what 20mm & .303 I had left, landed my 2 kills & 3 or so assists & left.
ANY help the knights can get when we are out-numbered by that much I for one appreciate. I applaud the folks who like to keep the numbers somewhat balanced, the ones who have temporarily jumped knight have helped out a lot. I will never switch sides, I started as a knight & I'll stop paying as a knight, but I don't hold it against anyone else. I also don't like to see "truces" between two countries to jump on one, but I will ignore a few enemy fighters that are after the same goal as my countrymen.
Duty - Honor - Country.....sure glad this is a game or I'd end up with an ulcer lol..
-
VF-17 is moving from Rooks to Knights for just this sort of thing. It got old in a hurry the other night while the LCA was off busting Bish HQ for some reason instead of hitting bases to stop Knight advances along the front. BUT we are taking our 5 man gang back to the Fatherland after a long absence from there. See ya soon Knights!
-
thanks brenjen, I'm still waiting for the squad to respond but I think it will be a go.

He isn't making CT for us... it's to bring in a new market... he already gets our money every month.
-
You could not pay me to fly like the LCA. That to me is the most boring and pointless style of play. Takes no skill to horde over a undefended base, pork it to no end until it is a giant inferno, take it, and repeat again. Throw some times where they horde over to a furball at very high alts, pork it to inferno, take base, repeat.
Can we say BORING.
-
I hate to stir in this but anyway.
The best part of buff flying is the gunning. Being assualted by 3 or 4 fighters at once is a riot. You jump from gun to gun trying to make sure your geting the shot on whoever is in range at that second. Yes i die alot and have a better chance in a fighter. But that kind of rush helps ease 14.95 out of my pocket every month.
My idea of a perfect night would be massive buff missions. Met by huge fighter squadrons. end up with a big furball from 5 k all the way up to 12k. pop the vh and hit the town. lots of fighter escort to defend the goon.
Hope you have dsl, a meg of ram and an Athlon 64 you'll need it or your frames will go in the teens.
Just my opinion.

Repeating the same hyperbole over and over doesn't make it true. It is rare than an LCA mission has more than 12-16 planes.
I personally could care less about folks who switch sides. But the ones who are burning bridges in the process are being quite foolish.

You think it'd be easier in a 4 on 1 in a fighter? You have much to learn.

There was a saying that, "There are no fighter pilots in hell, only bomber pilots."
ack-ack
-
Storch if they are in a figher they are usually in a lgay7, nik, or spit. They know no ACM what so ever and either pick you from very high alt or sit there for you if you get behind their 6.
They fly buffs at alts and are not to good with gunnery either. Usually find them in b24s but sometimes in a b17 or b26. The best spot to attack them that I find is the high 6 but thats with most buffs. There gunnery is pretty bad to begin with but their high 6 is the worst and just take a quick squirt at their cockpit and POOF. :t
-
Didnt think I could wub the LCA anymore after I recieved swearing and cursing PM's from them for killing some of their members over and over. But tonight I was able to really inflict come pain. Ended up getting 7 kills of them in 1 flight with 5 in the air and 2 vulches. Felt so good killing them. Ended up getting 11 scalps that flight before manned ack got me after 1 of my passes. I still had another 1100 rounds of mg left in my 38 and plenty of gas. That darn ack saved their hides.
Felt like a new high killing them and this many of them. It was so easy as well killing them. No effort at all trying to avoid me, just sat there and took it. :t

Maybe to you killing FT "ruins the game" ... but for me, having to deal with this kind of mentality does it. You guys have done more to turn me off AH2 in the last few days than that whole period when they switched to the new ISP and playability when to hell. And I don't even listed to Ch.200 ... if I did I'd have probably bailed by now.
Well done.
-
Well you guys brought this onto you. You have squads leaving rooks just to hunt the Loose Cannon Alliance as they are fed up with the way they are playing. Soon as one knight kills a LCA, many knights move to that area just to hunt and kill the squad.

Ture I have never seen them even attack a bish bace with more than 3 people...and astone me 6 you 2 =)

Don't let it bother you Dok, they're all just talking a bunch of chit. If half these ego maniacs were as good as they think they are, we'd never get a mission in the air.
As for what we do being boring...eh, your opinion, and we know what those are like. If you find what I do boring, then I suggest you don't do it. I mean, I wouldn't want you to get bored or anyhting.
Funny how all you keep whining about your "fun" and how "you" want to play, but when it comes to others, it's "boring" or "lame"....you guys kill me. What a bunch of 'tards.
Funny too how how just this afternoon the 457th, or 475th, whatever they are, was trying like heck to horde A22. Lol....they are right about one thing, it ain't hard to stop it. :rolleyes:
Yeah, you got it right Dok, hypocrits for sure....
-
horde a22? was 2 dar bars of rooks b/n 21 and 22. as far as not doing it, we are not, why we left. havent kilt a FH yet and are doing ok from stopping bases from being taken. fact is, we look for biggest dar bar and head to it...cant help that dar bar goes away.
for what its worth, was dang fun b/n 22 and 21 tonight. i enjoyed it. was bzy for hours there.
-
Musta been a different time then Killnu. All sorts of bombers and porkers from 14 tried and tried and less Rooks kept them at bay. Certainly wasn't no 2 dar bars full of Rooks, more like half a dar bar, if that.
I understand you got your share of getting spanked too, heh.
-
I had a GREAT time tonight!
My thanks go out to the "Satan's Angels' for their
spirited fight. Made it a blast!
And thanks to all the concentrated Knight
activity, we able to perform our best mission
yet. We snagged the Knight zone base that was behind
the front lines and took it in a lightning strike.
Our quickest capture yet. I even got 2 kills (no,
not vultches) during that raid! From initial contact
to capture was a mere 90 seconds. Outstanding! :aok
----------------------------------------------------------
A Message to LCA Members & Affiliates
LCA...great job there on that cap! A film of that operation
will be available for you to enjoy and study. Just request a
copy on the forum and one will be sent to you.
We're getting more and more proficient at these
base capture missions but we can't slack off.
After all, we're being hunted now. ;)
Keep up the great work..and a heartfelt welcome to
our newest members tonight. Welcome to the club!
----------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, back to tonights festivities...
I had an excellent time tonight both fighting and dying
(KillinU got me a few times ).
BTW, we deliberately went into that area because we
knew thet the 475th was operating there. We wanted
them to enjoy their game tonight so we decided to
tangle with them and give them a little dogfighting
action. It was fun!
But what I especially enjoyed was the zone base take.
In spite of the numbers being against us our guile and
daring prevailed! It will go down in our "memorable
mission" archives as one of our favorites. :)
And things didn't stop there..we expanded our front
by several bases and sunk 2 of the Knight's carrier groups.
Not a bad night at all. Thanks to everyone who made it all
possible. :D
And to that one Knight pilot who asked me to have a private
duel with him...a big to you sir. It was a good fight!
We will definitely have to have a rematch but this time in
the same plane to keep things even. :cool:
Good night all and God bless!

ROFL, so many guys switched to knit lately - i went rook last night, to help those poor, steamrolled outnumbered buggers :).
Fun fights.
-
no Warp, was the same time...just that the one dar bar at 22 kept going down, then coming back up when the dar bar from 21 got there. it kept cycling like that.
-
Caught 96Delta suicide vulching last night. I had a long sortie and had no ammo no fuel and was trying to land when I saw an la7 coming over the base. At first I thought he was porking troops or something as there were plenty of flying friendlies around for him to shoot at. But, nonetheless, indeed this la7 was just suicidally trying to kill a plane that was goona be or already on the ground. I waved off my approach as the la7 boomed me and he missed so I turned again which was becoming difficult to do at 125mph or so. He made I think 3 maybe 4 passes before he got me and was being hit by friendlies the whole time. He went down right as I did. Mind you that there was no furball over this base just the la7. My question at first was why would someone fly and entire sector to suicidally try to get just a kill and then die? What purpose does it serve other than to antagonize someone in a very gamey way! Does it help to take the base?...........NO! Does it help to keep down the enemy?.......NO! Is this kind of behavior sponsored by a squad?......Would hope not! 96Delta was the la7 I was referring to earlier. What a pathetic panty waste of leadership.:aok

I see you didnt mention your pathetic suicide vulching part of the night! LMAO. Your game will be shed in light soon enough my enemy. People like yourself have been a cancer on this game for a long time.:rofl
-
I think HTC should lock both L.C.A. threads, they are pointless now & are only degenerating into "flame wars" I think is what the internet slang term for argueing & name calling is. At least 96 delta is staying civil about the whole thing. I don't like being outnumbered to the point it's hopeless; but I don't think it should swing the other way either. With so many folks joining the Knights to combat the L.C.A. it appears to be headed that way. On the other hand, buff hunting is a lot of fun & so is gunning fighters with a ball turret. I just hope this whole thing sorts itself out & common courtesy re-installs itself into the game. ( I too turned off ch.200 it gets moronic ) In short can't we all just get along while we are virtually killing each others cartoon vehicles & buildings....& scores :D
-
Wow SkyRock,
That was some post. :eek:
Now, here's what really happened.
BTW, testifying is what I do for a living,
for what its worth.
I think it was A17.
We were taking a beating at A26 (the Knight Zone base that we took)
from several neighboring Knight bases so I decided to fly
north to kill the Barracks and Ord to give us a little breathing
room at A26 so we could regroup.
I upped an LA-7 and proceeded to the target alone.
I killed the barracks and ord and started to egress outta there but
then I noticed something.
During my attack run I realized that none of the ack
was firing at me so I went back around to have a look see.
Sure enough, all the ack was down except for one 88mm
(that would be the soft gun battery) which I then destroyed.
Having no ack and no enemy fighters to worry about I decided
to loiter over the field hoping for some uppers. The fighter hangars
were already down and I guess with the ord disabled no
bombers bothered to launch. The VH was up and I was
surprised that no GV's upped. I just figured that the base
had been abandoned. I began to orbit the base at about 3K.
When I arrived and during my time there I encountered
NO resistance. I was telling all the LCA's that 17 had been
abandoned and would be an easy take. It met the criteria
of LCA Dicta #2 and I wanted the LCA to take the base
and advance our front to the north.
The LCA were busy elsewhere and couldn't mount a capture
attempt at A17. I was getting bored orbiting that deserted field
and was about to leave when I saw an F4U-1C Corsair at my
low 4 O'clock position on what looked like a landng approach.
So I engaged the enemy aircraft. I'm sure that, had the roles
been reversed, I would have been pounced on as well.
When I dived I was going way too fast and the pilot,
having read Dicta-Boelcke, turned into me. I made two more
passes on this Corsair and each time he employed the same
"turn into your opponent" manuever. I missed on the first
2 passes but on my third swing I hit the ball and the plane
was 'outta here' and dead.
I didn't think to ask the pilot on Channel 200 whether the plane
had any fuel or ammo left. I don't take inventory of the condition
of my adversaries aircraft before I attack. I'm too busy. My bad.
After the shootdown I scanned for enemy combatants
and noticed that alot of enemy aircraft were returning to A17
with a decided altitude and E advantage. I was way over my
head and tried to evade and escape to no avail and was
shot down, suffering a horrible fate as I plummeted to
the ground in my burning hulk of a plane, unable to
bail out. Hardly a suicide.
I'm not going to call you any names SkyRock. I'm just going
to say that I'm disappointed at the stream of comments that
issued forth from your keyboard on channel 200. We were
all commenting on it. It was quite unfortunate and I'm sure
just reflected your passion at the moment and was not indicative
of your character.
Next time we meet I hope you shoot me down.
Maybe then you'll feel a little better.
BTW, I saw you land something like 9 kills later in the night
so I guess you receovered and got some payback.
Congratulations! :aok

When I arrived and during my time there I encountered
NO resistance. I was telling all the LCA's that 17 had been
abandoned and would be an easy take. It met the criteria
of LCA Dicta #2 and I wanted the LCA to take the base
and advance our front to the north.
Geez. Why haven't I thought of writing that down. Can you post the LCA "Dicta" for taking bases? It can't be that hard or that long and it might help enlighten the hatred on the LCA.
-
Well after reading this thread and the other one targeting the LCA i decided to weigh in with some thoughts.
1) if the LCA doesnt want to be hammered on bbs...stop posting in here. this is probably the third thread i have seen.
2) stop hammering the LCA...except for posting their thoughts in here they are not unlike many numbers squads in here...when i first started it was the MAW. they likely give a home to many new guys looking for a sesne of identity. good for them.
3) while i dont think they changed much (i.e. rooks horded long b4 i knew of the LCA)...they have not made rookland more effective...however they have caused numbers to swap in a good way...thanks for helping balance numbers....made the game more fun. (even if they swapped because they hate you guys =(
4) I am the C.O. of a teeny squad called the Birds Of Prey....while we sometimes appear to be a horde I will point something out....we dont routinely gang a country...except on squad nites or nites when bish are close to reset...we tend to fly more for fun including furballing and buff/escort missions. I hate hording a country into the dust..bad for the game. it is good to have a large squad to be able to respond to enemy activity. I wil also say that c.o.'s of large squads have a responsibility to help the newbs and teach them to have fun. I am sad but also proud to say that there are many ex-BoPs in other sqauds that left after 1-2 years. They still love the game...and im glad they stayed.
5) Funny thing aboout many of the "fiter l33t" posting in here..they dont mind "hording" by overwhelming a base with fiters. Some of the guys like to take....say...15 p38s and killing vh and ack and "furballing" planes on the ground. i dont think im "crazy" when i challenge the "L33t: landed 15 kills in p38 of L33t pilot squad" didnt get those in outnumbered furball.
-
hehe to continue...
6) trust me, even very respectable squads like "arabian knights" and others who are effective base sneakers have no desire to see equal enemy resistance up to meet them. Their mission would fail.
7) there is no problem getting a good fite in this arena. Posta fiter sweep and go into a ganged base and have at it...great fun and you never have to rtb..you alredy there!! your kills/hr can go up thru the roof!
8) here is a crazy thought....if you vulch a plane...no points or kill reward...lets watch the studs scores fall then....erm mine too :p
9) finally..make a map with 9 base FT and unkillable ack...give the fiters a chance to truly furball....then who cares what happens to ooutside bases

Wow SkyRock,
That was some post. :eek:
Now, here's what really happened.
BTW, testifying is what I do for a living,
for what its worth.
I think it was A17.
We were taking a beating at A26 (the Knight Zone base that we took)
from several neighboring Knight bases so I decided to fly
north to kill the Barracks and Ord to give us a little breathing
room at A26 so we could regroup.
I upped an LA-7 and proceeded to the target alone.
I killed the barracks and ord and started to egress outta there but
then I noticed something.
During my attack run I realized that none of the ack
was firing at me so I went back around to have a look see.
Sure enough, all the ack was down except for one 88mm
(that would be the soft gun battery) which I then destroyed.
Having no ack and no enemy fighters to worry about I decided
to loiter over the field hoping for some uppers. The fighter hangars
were already down and I guess with the ord disabled no
bombers bothered to launch. The VH was up and I was
surprised that no GV's upped. I just figured that the base
had been abandoned. I began to orbit the base at about 3K.
When I arrived and during my time there I encountered
NO resistance. I was telling all the LCA's that 17 had been
abandoned and would be an easy take. It met the criteria
of LCA Dicta #2 and I wanted the LCA to take the base
and advance our front to the north.
The LCA were busy elsewhere and couldn't mount a capture
attempt at A17. I was getting bored orbiting that deserted field
and was about to leave when I saw an F4U-1C Corsair at my
low 4 O'clock position on what looked like a landng approach.
So I engaged the enemy aircraft. I'm sure that, had the roles
been reversed, I would have been pounced on as well.
When I dived I was going way too fast and the pilot,
having read Dicta-Boelcke, turned into me. I made two more
passes on this Corsair and each time he employed the same
"turn into your opponent" manuever. I missed on the first
2 passes but on my third swing I hit the ball and the plane
was 'outta here' and dead.
I didn't think to ask the pilot on Channel 200 whether the plane

Well I had people who were knight that can verify exactly what I said. As a matter of fact I was flying with a squad that had two members present at the base and at the time, one was landing and the other was shooting at you as you shot at me. He hit you once before you got me. If it were me I would have focused my attention to the bogey on my 6 instead of trying to vulch one last plane before death. But, then again, this was my reason for posting at all. I disagree with your tactics and leadership. This is just a game, so I don't "really" worry about it. Btw I had 12 air to air kills, no fuel, no ammo, two guns out, and plane was shot to chit! :aok

I'm pissed at the following:
1.) My old PC was killed over a month ago.
2.) In this "break" I have watched FRIENDS in Rookland go to other countries which pisses me off. On one hand I would never want Zazzy to switch, but I can understand why. On the other hand, he is helping even the MA numbers. Now, more friends, the 475th have switched because of this chit.
3.) As CO of the CAF, upon return I will assess my goings on in the MA. I will refuse to allow the killing of furballs in this manner. I will do WHATEVER it takes to thwart this. If I have to "enlist the aid of others" I will.
I'm too pissed to continue.
<> Zazen, 475th and any other's that have switched because of this BS.
