Title: Nits, I'm SOOOO disappointed
Post by: Erkel on July 29, 2008, 10:27:32 PM
Today, we had A111 capped, town down with two buildings left and troops in town.  Furballers were SO bent on vulching the field that NOBODY would take down the 2 remaining buildings for the capture even though we were pleading for them to do so and there were hardly any uppers.   Hangers were down after my drop but the furballers just couldn't pull themselves away from the field to kill 2 more buildings.

One hanger popped shortly after my drop and things just got ugly from there.  Furballers couldn't even keep a cap on the field....sigh.  5 minutes later, the sky was full of red dots and all hope of a capture was lost.

The day before that, I watched 4 carrier groups in a row, one after another enter a field within minutes after carrier the carrier before it was sunk.  Did anyone bother to take out ords, vh and shore battery (other than me of course).  Answer is NO.  Did anyone bother to bring in bombers to drop the hangers (other than me).  Answer is NO.

Luftmorder is becoming very disappointed with being Knights and we are presently in serious discussion to switch countries.

OH, I will say nits did win a map in blue a couple days ago.  Only because our tulips were kicked so hard in orange that everyone left in despair.  There were so many nits in blue that we couldn't help but win that map and did so within just half a day.

Hats off to you rooks who keep offense a priority.  And to the bish for the same.  Seems all nits do anymore is defend, defend, defend and then, nits even suck at that.

Ok, I feel better now...lol

If the base was capped, then your ord would have been more properly directed toward taking down the buildings in town instead of a hanger.

Regardless of what buff you were in, you could have come back around and straffed the buildings down.

If the troops were in an M-3, HE could have straffed the last two buildings down.

No one to blame but yourself it would seem.

I guess you're right...
Why bother having squads then.
Why bother having troops.
Why bother having cities.

Lets just have 3 airfields.

This is the key part of your post.  You guys want to "win", but once the going gets tough the guys you fly with go to where it's easier.  Don't blame it on Knits, Rooks, or Bish.  Put it on the guys who like to win the 'war', but don't want to fight it when someone fights back.

All kinds of folks who play the game and go where the fight is, because they could care less about 'winning the war', and care a lot about 'fighting the fight' regardless.

Get your squad to forget about the war, and focus on the fight.  The more they fight, the better they'll get and soon enough they won't mind it.

Luftmorder is becoming very disappointed with being Knights and we are presently in serious discussion to switch countries.

With the exception of a couple squads, all countries are the same, you won't find anything but more frustration. Imho, the 'war-winning' squads take the path of least resistance.
-------------------------
We are going to attack a base with a huge dar bar over it? No, we'll attack an undefended base instead.

We are going to attack a base without a dar bar over it? No, they might see us, so to avoid the fight we'll go NOE instead.

We are going to attack a base without a dar bar, and go NOE, but maybe they can still up in time? No, instead we'll hit the hangers and kill the field.
--------------
Sorry, but I have no sympathy for you.

Ironically, Knights relative lack of cohesion and organization are their saving grace. Knights are tricky to fight because they are unpredictable. I can predict what Bish will likely do well into the future just by looking at the map and knowing how they collectively think, the same goes for Rooks. But, honestly, even though I fly on Knights a fair amount, I almost never have the first foggy clue what they may do next. Knights have inadvertently honed disorganization and radical divergence of will into a finely tuned weapon.

Reading the OP reminded me of the first time I met ROCKY.  I was over an enemy field that had been contested for awhile, but it seemed that the furball involed with that field had moved on elsewhere.  There were like 5 of us over the deacked field, with an occational upper now and then.  I hear ROCKY on range announcing he had troops.  A little later he asked for help with a few buildings up.  A few friendlies put the last of their ammo in before going rtb.  Before he could drop troops, a few more buildings popped up.  Now it was just Rocky, some numbers dude and I in the area.  I felt bad for Rocky flying his goon like 3 sectors to get there, so I went over and ended up strafing, buildings down, and more would pop up.  I all but ran bingo by the time everything was down and stayed down, and it was just the 2 of us.  I porked the hell out of my fighter hit percentage doing it, and I could care less about the field being captured, but I couldn't leave a friendly that went to all that effort to bring troops stranded.

Wish more people would think like that. I remeber one time we had an m3 sitting off field in an m3 w/troops and all vhs were down mand ack and the ack by maproom were also down. 1 auto ack was left up and the only friendly in the area (besides the m3) was in a fighter, he was asked several times to just take down 1 ack and he refused. His reply was " I cant shoot ack,im not in attack mode". We didnt get the base :(.

Why are you calling these people furballers?  Where is the furball around a vulched field?

 If people didn't care about the war the dueling arena would be full.

  What players who don't care about the war really want,is to pad their scores vulching, I've seen Knights cap a base and make no attempt to take it, just indulge in a score padding vulch fest.One bunch make a habit of it.

 It's their 15 dollars,if that's what they want fine,but I'll be voting with my feet,and moving to Bish or Rook.

 No matter what some players may say,if they took away base capture, toolsheds and strat,to leave a Desert landscape and Ocean,tumble weeds would blow through this game for lack of interest.

Today, we had A111 capped, town down with two buildings left and troops in town.  Furballers were SO bent on vulching the field that NOBODY would take down the 2 remaining buildings for the capture even though we were pleading for them to do so and there were hardly any uppers.   Hangers were down after my drop but the furballers just couldn't pull themselves away from the field to kill 2 more buildings.

One hanger popped shortly after my drop and things just got ugly from there.  Furballers couldn't even keep a cap on the field....sigh.  5 minutes later, the sky was full of red dots and all hope of a capture was lost.

The day before that, I watched 4 carrier groups in a row, one after another enter a field within minutes after carrier the carrier before it was sunk.  Did anyone bother to take out ords, vh and shore battery (other than me of course).  Answer is NO.  Did anyone bother to bring in bombers to drop the hangers (other than me).  Answer is NO.

Luftmorder is becoming very disappointed with being Knights and we are presently in serious discussion to switch countries.

OH, I will say nits did win a map in blue a couple days ago.  Only because our tulips were kicked so hard in orange that everyone left in despair.  There were so many nits in blue that we couldn't help but win that map and did so within just half a day.

Hats off to you rooks who keep offense a priority.  And to the bish for the same.  Seems all nits do anymore is defend, defend, defend and then, nits even suck at that.

Ok, I feel better now...lol
If a Bishop was in that M-3 he or she would have used the M2 on the pintle... It actually shoots .50 cal bullets!!!! it is easily within the M3's ammo loadout to kill 2 buildings.

As a Knight....and been a knight bout 7 years....don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya. Ahhhh...that great looking green grass over there on that side of the fence.

Ya know....I been in a squad for years now...same one....and we have put down some defenses...and been pushed back...but almost every time...without fail....it's been fun. I was flying near a big darbar the other day...and when I got in comms range all I heard was...lets get a vulch going....yadda yadda yadda. If ya want to capture bases...fine....if ya want to furball...fine...wanna do a bit of both...fine. But don't blame anything on one group. You should have been better prepared. And the Vulchin furballers....well they did what they normally do.

Bishops , Rooks , Knights...no side is better. Just differant.

Have a good time over there--------------------->

<waves bye bye>

Ya know Erkle,

Now that I think about it....I'd say most of the players in AHII havent a CLUE as to what AH used to be...

You newer types have a whole differant mind set than the old days. I can remember flying for hours and seeing maybe 2 or 3 bases change hands on a map. Why? Everyone was fighting and haveing fun. It wasn't about winning the war it was about a fight and combat. Not about ground punding and griefing.

I been in AH for a total of 9 years now I think. Not all at once mind ya...but off and on for that long. Maybe it was 2000. Not gonna look it up under my ole CPID. At any rate....the skies were filled with people fighting and dieing and re upping for a fight again. Not much vulching at all that I remember. Just good ole clean fun and <S>'s. Good talk. Not a bunch of smack talking and name calling.

Those days are gone and I realise that. Things change.

But for you to get in this notion of "Knights suk" is just goofy IMO.

Theere have been some GREAT battles over bases in this game. For hours and hours it would go with neither side gaining a big advantage. I recall epic battles with the JB's , BK's , AK's , 56th. I remember fighting the original JB squad for 5 or 6 hours over a base. We'd bomb them and they'd bomb us. We'd fight thier 190's and 109's and they'd come in and fight our spits. Not a bunch of hoin and runnin....just wingman pairs all over from both sides duking it out for air supremacy in one lil area of a map. Thier side trying to get Bombers in and our side doing the same. But the fight was clean , fun and well mannered. Almost everytime.

The BK's with Levi , Slap , and friends , smacking us around like lil kids. Ak's bushwhacking the hell out of us and us them. Nomde and Fenchy and company doing thier thing.

It was long before the MOUTHS arrived on the scene and changed AH. Long before the word toolshedder became AHII's favorite pastime. Furballers wasn't a bad word or a group....it was EVERYONE.

This game isn't near what it once was nor will it ever be again. HT made his changes. MANY for the better. But don't think for a minute...that us older guys....the flyers from way back....have any sympathy for people complaining about some side being "Teh Suk".

It's your money...play your way.... :salute
