I'm not a cry baby by no means. But wutdafxup with fighting rooks today? Here's my gripe:
-A squadie drops 3 1000 lb bombs from a formation of Lancasters RIGHT on a rook flak panzer, it keeps driving along.
-I take a panzer into a rook town, takes 3 or 4 shots, at CLOSE range to drop one town building instead of the usual 2
-Watched a guy drop 2 500 lb bombs, with 2 passes, RIGHT on a rook panzer's turret, AFTER I had pummeled it with rockets. Panzer's still up and firing.
-Rooks RULED the orange arena today. Was it because they're better pilots? I don't think so. Up until today rooks, bish and nits were all pretty well evenly matched.
Oh, and whats up with the "magic E", and rook 190's overtaking nit LA's in flat flight?
Makes me wonder if the game devs might all be rooks! Or the game was tweaked for rooks to win the map.
P.S. If they do win, thank God cause I didn't think this HUGE map could EVER be won and I could use a change of scenery. If it's a fair and square fight, good for Rooks, if game was tweaked (which of course would never be admited) it's wrong wrong wrong.

sorry, I just got back today...hence the uneveness in skill. again, my apologies.
:noid

:rofl
gotta pay that

A Rook Panzer just shrugged off 2 hits by my Tiger. I hit his hull side at 50ft (!). Dead on.
And I absolutely know what's responsible for that: Bad luck on my side. It's always that way. ;)

Do you know what ping plotter is ? What it does ?
Did you know HTC can be bribed ?
-
Its a government conspiracy. The Knights and Bishops must be supporting terrorism or something.
-
Rooks just plain, flat-out RULE! Easy as that :D .
I was flying Rook today and we were just everywhere at once. We had LYNX coordinating attacks up north, and we had a mission turn into a campaign down in the south. I think we actually fought as one today (wow that's a first).
-
I hit an nme m3 3 times in my tiger and watched the rounds bounce off.
Thought that was "odd".
But THIS I gota share.
Ok, 40ms connection, basically flat variance. (preface here)
I just killed ord @ a field and had 1k egg left. I was doing a zoom climb, and decided to pickle the egg and kill the 2-3 con's behind me.
After I dropped it, it made an "odd" falling noise. I have never heard that noise before. I look around and the eggs was falling UPWARDS!.
Seriously, a sec. or two after I pickled it, it was behind, and above me, and I was in a zoom climb. After @ 2-3 seconds it started falling "normally".
Explain THAT one to me.
BTW this was in Orange.
(I blame ATT btw... HTC should be pitching a fit w/ them and their network people)

btw sunfan, I couldn't help but notice your sig. Are you a SpitDweeB or a DweebFire ? Just curious, lotta posers out there pretending to be SpittyDweebs.
SpittyDweeb - Flies all spits
DweebFire - Flies only spit16
-
i fly all spits mostley the spit9

I landed an A8 at a field. Waited for about 3-5 seconds for Karaya to land, to tower out together (cute, i know). I hit the tower button on clipboard as karaya says go. "you have been killed". Yea, explain that one. At least Karaya thought it was funny. And no, my plane was not bouncing...ive done that before.

1) Machine Guns don't kill people. Rooks kill People.
2) There is no capture of Rook bases . Just the bases the Rooks allow to to be taken, before we decide to lay down the law.
3) Rooks do not sleep. We wait.
4) The chief export of the Rooks is Pain.
5) Scientists have estimated that the energy given off during the Big Bang is roughly equal to one Rook bomber dropping it's load.
6) Rooks have two speeds. Take Off and Killing.
7) The leading causes of death in Aces High are: 1. Augers 2. Rooks 3. Augers running away from a Rook
8) The Rooks don't worry about score. The score worries about the Rooks.
9) Faster than a speeding bullet ... more powerful than a locomotive ... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... yes, these are some of The Rook's warm-up exercises.
10) The Rooks don't go hunting.... THE ROOKS GO KILLING

Rooks are basically superior human beings in every way. Not just in this game. Were smarter, better looking, have bigger schwansticklers, and lucky as heck. Were like the guy "Bob" in the male enhancement videos.
So its no surprise when we kick butt. What surprises me is that there are any knits and Bish left alive after a night of play.

since i sent a bottle of scotch over to HTC,puff ack hasn't killed me once..this was 2 years ago.

Inertia.
If you're doing a zoom climb, so is the bomb attached to your plane. Pickle it going up and you transfer that energy to the bomb and it continues up until gravity overcomes the inertia.
You know, you can "throw" bombs like this.

Oh Brother...Someone please pass the Promethazine.
(B4 you ask...it's an Anti-emetic that helps you to stop throwing up)

Well fantastic. The day the rookbots get handed out Sunbat is getting pwned by relatives and decorations....

There is a bug. If you land an A8 wheels up you've got to get out quick or it will give you a death.

Somethign similar happened to me this morning in a 109. I ditched just before i got to the runway because my engine died and my plane had settled down. About 5 to 10 seconds later i died for no reason and went straight to tower. I have it on film, worth posting it in bug forum?

Are we talking about the rooks or Chuck Norris:)
-
Silly mortals.
Chuck is our Rook God. Every time before a flight we don our signature Chuck Norris fake beards and Walker Texas Ranger boots and commence to whoopin butt...Chuckie style.
That's right..we do it Chuckie Style.

HEAH!!! he haheheeheeheheheheeehhh
Like Chuckie... yeah.... heheheheh

Best way I know of to hit any plane with a tank is aim your turret at it, fire your turret machine gun till you're hitting it then blast it with an HE or AP round. Works best when plane is flying straight towards you. I do it all the time. REALLY pisses them off too

Sorry I just vomited when I read this... more like:
1) Rooks are Ho'n dweebs
2) Rooks gloat when they win 1 outa 20 resets
3) Rooks kill bailed out pilots
4) Rooks are use spys regularly
5) Rooks would never win if the there were any Bish or nits on during the US night shift.
6) Rooks made cmustard go back to the Bish (should be #1 reason)
7) There aren't enough rounds to kill em all
8) Rooks don't return a
9) Child molesters and terrorists are loathesome... Rooks are worse
10) Why is it that most cheating allegations are directed at the Rooks? You make the call!
Ok guys let me have it!
:lol

11) rooks are alt. monkeys

seems to me ( and i fly rook night shift) arena numbers are usualy like this
rook 10 more than knight
knights 10 more than bish
bish sleeping on the job
but arena numbers mean nothing when there are
30 bish and only 15 are in flight
or 40 nights and only 20 are in flight
and there are 45 out of 50 rooks in flight
super alt monkey < dont like it? go higher i would love a fight at 20-25k

True... Rooks are not afraid to come up high after my buffs and play, until they go down in flames!
I guess you guys DO like to attack undefended bases... I thought it was a nasty rumor! It must be like... kinda like playing off line I bet! I get more satisfaction taking a base that is well defended than the easy capture with nobody home.
You guys are getting ripped off if there is only one side flying. My advice (for what its worth): Switch sides once in a while to get a fight going.
When I play chess against a novice player I get bored with cleaning his
clock after a few minutes and look forward to a more competative match!
Do you ever fly during the North American evening (AKA US/Canadian prime time)? If not you're missing what makes this game GREAT!

KnightsThough knights can have high numbers sometimes....
