Title: what happened to the LCA?
Post by: Pooface on June 14, 2006, 02:33:39 PM

They are still flying around, and still doing missions their un-imitatable way. A few have changed CPID's, and as a group they seem to have decided to be just, well, quieter.

As long as everybody's having fun, all's well.


EDIT: Did a qucik check, and they 3 LCA squads still list over 60 members combined.

On the new map there is a a set of bases isolated in the middle that every one is refering to as "Fighter Town". Having been out of this game for a bit and this being the first time I've evr seen this map I had some questions.

Is this really a "Fighter Town" as we had way back in the day on AW3

if so

Is there a certain etiquette as to how you fight at fighter town?
(such as no vulching no bombing ext.)

Are the bases at “Fighter Town” capturable?

Are the bases at “Fighter Town” needed to be captured for a reset?

Sorry, I havent been in the business that long, im sure someone else can provide the answer :)

Yes and no. Yes, as in the people referring to it as FT would like to furball there "in peace" and vulching, shutting FH etc is highly frowned upon. No as in: theres no official rules as of HTC, not even verbally. So the bases are just as any other and the vulchers and bombers cant be kept out.

Are the bases at “Fighter Town” capturable?

Yes.

Are the bases at “Fighter Town” needed to be captured for a reset?

As in are they counted for base count when a country is reset - yes, they are just normal Airfields enclosed in high mountains

Mayhem, i've flown in fighter town only for a cpl hours.  What I saw was much like your name.  I think anything goes.  Including catigating those who do what they want with the time their $15 a month buys them.

Much furious disucssion on this point.  Very serious.  NSA sorta stuff.

This is the way fighter town works.

The map will begin, FT will be a nice big furball with just the odd complaint of picking/hoing. The odd newb will up buffs or scream into an enemy base to vulch.

Withing 12 hours or so, someone will inevitably mount a "mission" into an enemy base, we'll name these people "A" for the sake of it and the base country "B".

A will deack B's base and start the vulch. B will roll out GV's and repulse A's attack. Once the attack is repulsed, there will be the feeling from B's testosterone fueled pilots of revenge. B will launch a counter mission of the same sort as A's on A's base. This will go on ad nauseum until one or the other's base falls to their enemies hands.

Once the base has fallen, C will find themselves outnumbered. Their space in FT will contract until whoever the initial victors were from A and B will have to go directly to C's field to find action. It will be necessary for them to deack and drop the VH in order to vulch in peace. This deackment will upscale itself somehow into dropping the town and attempting to capture base C.

Successful or unsuccessful, the loser of A Vs B will team with C in order to try and reclaim the original loser of A Vs B's revenge fuelled battle's base.

Ch200 will be filled with chat along the lines of;
"stupid A's ruining the fun for everyone"
"why do A's always try blah blah blah"
"bases are capturable, they should be captured"
"C always takes over TT, don't complain when we do the same in FT"
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

These boards will blow up yet again with much the same as what will be said on ch200.

HTC will take the map out of rotation again because of all the above.

And that's FT in a nutshell.

Last night in FT I see a C205 dive on one of my team mates. I keep my altitude knowing I cant catch him, when he zooms back up (higher than me) I use my speed to climb to him and shoot him down.

This individual then sends me a PM telling me what the ceiling is in FT. :rofl

People however arent too bright that fly in FT.  I was in FT all night last night and 95% of the time on the deck.  I had spits, la7s, niks, etc. dive on my 38 but they overshoot and die.  Having a 38 on the deck gets people drooling thinking its going be a easy kill but in the end die to the lonely 38 on the deck.

Thats because it is an easy kill.  Only thing that saves it is the ocasional screen stater, the visibility limits of the computer display, and the fear of getting ganged so you don't really want to get too slow.

In case you are confused, this thread was not about how good YOU are in a 38 :noid

Well Tinman says it starts with just ho'ing and picking and I beg to differ as there are ways if you are fond of them to counter their ho'ing and picking and counter that.  FT brings a blast to FT and place for furballers to do their thing.  

This map also proves that there arent many serious toolshedders as if there was the dar bars in FT would be almost nothing and would be many dar bars elsewhere.  Looking at this map last night couldnt find any large dar bar on the map except what was in Ft.

FT is great, and many people seem to love it.

I can't post pictures, but I took a couple of screenshots last night of the map over FT.  Summary is, with 90-95 Rooks on, there were about 30 green dots over FT.  I'm sure it was the same for other countries.  That's a solid 1/3 of the AH population that uses FT to find a quick fight.

With a map this big (250ish fields?) and only ~250 total people on, FT is a must have.

A few things.

I love donut.

Everyone else should either love donut, or at least tolerate donut and leave FT alone for people like me who don't have that much time anymore and need a quick shoot-em-up fix.

People who hate donut and can't stand that it might be the map for a whopping week out of a month have obviously never had a gf.  I'd really get into the benefits of the week of donut by comparing it to a gf in more detail, but I don't want to get banned.

That is all.

I've spent most of the last two days in FT, mostly because I've been getting my oscar handed to me elsewhere and needed the confidence boost (it's been a worse-than-usual tour for me).

Oh, and:

FM2 + FT = Perk machine

I had to ditch on a 4-kill sortie today, (burned up my gas for the trip home saving a friendly from a Ki-84) and STILL took home 10 perks out of it. :D

Post by: Captain Virgil Hilts on June 15, 2006, 11:44:27 PM
What I hate about FT is that I have to go to bed now, instead of fight there. And I've got to work all weekend, and by the time I have time to fly again it will be gone again.:cry

I wish it was in the rotation about 2-3 times as much. Even as bad as I am, I still fly there if it is up.

You guys make the most of it for me. I won't be there, so there won't be near as many easy kills.

As with any base once you get your gear rolling your fair game. My first night on donut two months ago was getting vulched at FT. I was lucky the guy broke my plane and didnt kill me but I learned that all the expectations you carry about a fair fight dont mean much if the other guy is thinking something else. I also learned how to look around in the tower.:aok

FT is a great place to teach and learn and try new stuff. It sure beats the smack of the same old same old. I played most of the day today and saw one cv fight and the rest was fights over vehicle fields and base captures. FT makes a nice break from all that stuff. Every map should have one and about three times as many fleets.
Title: Fighter Town?
Post by: lazs2 on June 16, 2006, 08:03:52 AM
yep... more fleets and more FT's...  people like em.

course some don't but.... it is harder to fight in a furball using a mouse.

I dislike Donut because all action seems to be concentrated in FT and flying there feels like I'm playing Quake, not a combat flight sim. Just mindless furballing. Of course I could go fly elsewhere, but since everyone wants to furball in FT it's the only place to go to. The alternative is to do some strategic bombing alone.

Apparently there aren't many of us who don't like FTs and I guess we just have to tolerate maps like Donut. They don't last forever. I suppose I have to check other arenas the next time Donut is up.

I get cherried in FT quite a bit when I'm not paying any attention or get target fixated...  Which happens often, granted.

I am, however, amazed at how many good 1v1s I've found in there in the past few days...  Sure, there are 20 other planes in the vicinity, but at the edges you can usually find a like-minded individual and go at it...  And of course on Donut you're already at 5k and can be in on the action in about 90 seconds max...  I love it :)

I am, however, amazed at how many good 1v1s I've found in there in the past few days


I am not amazed in the slightest Vudak.Myself and Platan0 and a younger guy named LKS were on the same channel fighting in FT Thursday.1 rook, 1 bish, and 1 knight (sounds like the start of a bad joke) on the same channel fighting in FT.Of course Platan0 and I were the only ones in P-40's and the only ones at 20-K plus in FT, i seen it was the same as anyother map in the rotation, hardly anyone will fight you unless you:(A) turn around and fly the other way, and (B) they cherry pick you while you are engaged.

It wouldn't be so bad but the fact these people deny ever doing anything remotely close too that and throw a furry of names your way.One of these persons was En4CeR, i dove down on too him at 23-k, he was in a tempest, he fly's right by me after i clearly try too engage .So i go on and see this spit16 climbing too me(babyseal giveaway) and i start my run.On the second pass with the spit i see the tempest again.Only this time He is coming at me while i am engaged with his gurlfriend in the spit.I call him out on 200 he says i was making that up and blah blah blah.

So i review the film and attach too his plane after i met him the first time.He straight flew toward  a 1 on 1 already in progress, tryed too pick,then fly's too the deck for a easy vulch and then does what he says  is " Extend " .

It just kills me how a majority of these so called " Veteran" pilots talk all this and that and all you ever see them land kills in is " Uber Late War" rides.Maybe i should just give up and join the crowd, go up me a tempy and fly around cherry pickin and vulchin, but i can't because even though this is a game the idea of that makes me sick.So you awesome late war plane flyers keep playin down on the easy level with the seals, i will ride up high in the Early rides.

Keep a look out in FT for me, i will be the P-40 up there waitin for some one too grow some gonadzz and come get sum.

I beg to differ, the majority of them go looking for the cherry pick from Jump Street.I have lots of film to prove it.What good will it do me, prolly not much they will still remain timid backbiters, i shall call them Marv Alberts from now on.I really liked the idea for the DA, would solve alot fo these issues.We use to get 40 too 50 for Tank Klubb in the Da don't see why a furball klubb cannot be organized.

Hey, a lot of people go for the HO right away too, but if I get nailed by it, it's my own darn fault...  If I get cherried, I should've been paying more attention, it's just the way I see it, your views may vary.

This is true.At the same time i am juggling 2 enemy planes in a High ENY plane they fly lowest ENY planes and have to shoot and fight you while your not looking.I knew the cherry picker was there the whole time he just wouldn't engage until i wasn't looking and when flying the P-40 Threat assesment dictates going with the closest enemy,not the tempest 4.9 away and acting timid.My staements were directed at that timid Marv Alberts.

Vudak if you took any of my statements the wrong way then i appologize sir no disrespect was meant for you.

I had a lot of fun in FT last night.  I am very rusty, but other than being vulched by an La-7 once I didn't see anything bad.  I didn't see the masses chasing a single aircraft or anything, it was just a big, fun brawl.

So I died a lot.  Who cares.  I grabbed another Spit VIII and went at it again.

Post by: teeri on June 16, 2006, 04:29:58 PM
I just realized I've been misunderstood, apologies for being so slow. It's all my fault, I chose the wrong words and didn't really understand Hoarach's first reply. Must be the language barrier or something... When I wrote about an alternative I didn't mean a better way to play is to go strat bombing. No, no, never! My point was that in Donut everyone fights in the FT and if you don't want to be there the only thing left is boring bombing runs to undefended bases.

There, I hope that made it clearer :)

Donut, Fighter town, whatever, it is the dog bowl of dogfighting!  It is the cherry bowl of cherrypicking!  It is the Ho bowl of hoing!  Although I will say it does occasionally have a bad odor but only when Moronpheus is flying there.:aok

I'm new here: this is fighter town to me. I Love not having to fly real far just to get shot down and start over again. I'm working on skill level so a quick fight is a fast way to learn. I love when we get that nice tight little group over the pond there and u dive in take a bite then go back up for another dive. This is way cool. And the alt monkeys up there have taught me a good bit about using my view keys and learning SA. Man, I died fast fast many times, but so what, I am learning, so its all good. I love fighter town.:aok

There, I hope that made it clearer :)


you obivously dont know where to look for action on this map

not everyone is at FT on this map and there is alot more going on

outside FT than just buff runs. come fly knit and hook up with me i'll

show u how to find the action. :cool:

"action" meaning.... one fight per hour but.... liberaly laced with stimulating chat about whatever the topic of the day for fluffers is.

There Back!!!!!!!!!!!


As many furballing FT groupies discovered Lastnight. They are still alive and well. To use a statement from Admrial Yamamoto:"I fear  all we've done is awaken a sleeping giant".

Once again the LCA shall prowl the skys and rain terror down on bases. So be warned Bish/Knits We're coming!

P.S. This made as a pilot that flys with LCA and not a member of My offical squad.

Why would you want to take FT....to ruin others fun?

You say you dont want to ruin others fun but thats what you are doing by trying to take FT.

that is just so wrong its almost funny lazs.

what is really amusing is the idea that unless you are

flying in FT you must be on some high altitude buff run.

nice try lazs but no sale on that one :rofl

Love FT!

I recently started flying MA after getting tired of AVA. I love FT I think it's a great idea. I like the strat game, and will play it when 880 sqn has it's squad nights. But if your just hopping in for a few sorties.................... Nothing beats Fighter Town, what a freakin blast.:rofl

I hope the Strat guys can leave it alone as much as possible. It's kind of nice to have the best of both worlds on one map.:aok

I thought there were too many teeny boppers making childish animal sounds & stealing kills by blowing up the plane I just took the wing off of. Happened too many times.

It is my strong belief that the "Win teh war" only crowd hate this map.
Since to many are enjoying the FT aspect of it they want the map removed.
How will they do this ... By spoiling the ft fun and causing a ruckus every time the map is in rotation.
 It is my firm belief they hope HT gets sick of the bbs bickering and removes the map.  
That is my conspiracy theory and I'm sticking to it.

I GUESS THE THING IS THAT THIS IS JUST A GAME AND NOT REAL. THEREFORE THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES. THERE IS ENOUGH TO  DO ON THESE MAPS TOO PLEASE EVERYONE.  WITH THAT IN MIND I JUST WONDER WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO BOMB FIGHTER TOWN OR THE GVS AT TANK TOWN. AND THIS IS NOT JUST DOWN TO THE GROUPS THAT RUN MISSIONS THERE. I HAVE SEEN MANY GUYS I RECOGNISE FROM GVS BOMBING AT TT. STILL IF HITECH DIDNT WANT IT TO BE POSSIBLE THEY WOULD STOP IT SO I GUESS ITS PART OF THE GAME.

although i for the most part go for the base capture style of play bronk i love this map..... lots of bases and FT.

FT works for me...... let the furballers furball and let the "win the war" type duke it out.  

the whole country could be at FT and it wouldn't bother me a bit.
