I'm a Rook and will deliberately try to foil the attempts of "missions" to take TT.  A shame I wasn't on, I'd have helped you guys keep it.

Cool, Masher. Is there any particular people or squadron with the Rooks that starts the Tank Town island takeover?

If ever I see a bunch of bananas trying to take TT bases or FT bases, I will purposfully spy, switch countries, or do whatever it takes to stop said captures!

Don't lump ALL of us in that group.

I spent three hours trying to get the Rooks to forget about holding the Nit TT bases and for the love of GOD help us against the Bish steamroller coming in the back door.

In the end, all I ended up with was a sore throat and backed into a corner.

Although I should point out that right before I logged Bish started taking over TT too...

Post by: FTDEEP on February 18, 2007, 04:31:04 PM
i am also a rook and after reading all the threads about TT it has made me come over there and try to protect the gvs' of all sides from the buffs and fiters.never attacking gvs..only planes. i think these guys should have thier fun. and since its usually imature newbs pulling this stuff..it has become like shooting fish in barrol.but imho i think fiters and buffs have no bizness there unless absolutely needed for winning the war. give'm a break.

What Tinman said....  
What about the guys that rotate?  Why do you have to pick one side?  Maybe next time I will just pork all your fields as a Rook and then go Knight.... Who you gonna blame it on then?  :D

What happens is all sides bomb gvs. Rooks just better at payback. /I've been bombed by Bish rooks and knights in tt its part of the game, Same as guys taking bombers in Fighter town.





ITS this simple want bases  to stay yours kill troops vh bases and island basesthen kill ord at island bases. Kill troops at vhs and tt becomes fair fight no tigers hiding with supplies.



really want fun tt go early war tt just t34s  and most won't take ju88s to bomb tt to easy to kill.

I don't have a problem with anyone bombing gvs. I love doing it myself. I'm talking about the Rooks going in and taking over the whole island- all bish and knight bases- so no one can go to Tank Town and do anything.

It's the only place we regularly have now where gvers from all sides can go and do their thing. Same with fighters. If I don't have a lot of time, I head to Tank Town. If there's no con fighters up, I might hassle con gvs. If there's fighers there, I can play with them.

Personally, I wish every map had a Fighter or Tank town- a place to go for a quick fight. There's more than enough other islands around to capture bases at, if that's what you want to do. Have at it. Those islands don't have a Tank Town.

I don't care much if someone gets a bit rambunctious and takes one g base or an airfield on TT Island, especially if they leave it undefended so the other country can take it back. But, to go in and take all bases on TT island, screws up the game for a lot of people until the map changes.

But since Tank Town is the only place we have now that serves as a fighter or tank town, it ruins it for those that like that sort of thing until we get the Tank Town map back again.

Last night's take of the Bish TT airfield and v-base by the rooks had nothing to do with payback.

The map had just reset and we get the TT map.  Within 10 min the bish v-base was flat.  Next the airfield was taken, then the v-base...all accomplished with a nice big H____ (rhymes with what I personally am with all these BS excuses for why TT bases are taken...bored)

And to top it off DREDger gets on 200 and says "Maybe we should give the Bish back their TT base"

What got me to start this thread was a similar thing when I went on this morning.

Rooks already had bishop g base. Shortly thereafter they had their airfield. It seemed to settle down for a little while. Then, I'm heading back to land four kills and see the Knight field under attack. I land my kills at our g base and head to the airfield to defend. Just as I get there the rooks take our airfield.

I go back to the g field and up an ostwind. Rooks came in and took the g field in five or ten minutes. Now they have the whole island and we have to look elsewhere for fun.

But what REALLY burned me up was having an LA 7 come straight at me from 2k away and, for some reason, I couldn't hit him but he had no problem hitting me. Happened three or four times in a row.:mad:

Other than to irritate people, I really see no purpose in this.  The bulletin board is really not meant to be used like this.
