Title: Whats the first thing you do when you loggin?
Post by: mna78 on October 17, 2008, 08:09:37 AM
As the title says what, what's the first thing you look for?

After a quick .SR I take a qiuick look at the map to get an overall feel for whats going on , then I look to see if any of our bases are under attack or likey to become under attack.  If its already being defended I might look for others which are not...

So what do you do?
- Attack with the rest of the green dots
- Look for the biggest Red Darbar and head towards it
- Defend a flashing base
- Move the CV's
- Try and get a mission rolling
- Or sit back and get a feel for whats going on before upping

Check map then set cv way points.  Defened a flashing base especially if it's sneaky Gv's.

I try to go with these two, but more often than not, I get requests to dispose of enemy CV's.

EDIT: Actually the first thing I do is type on country channel, "<S> Bishies" and <S> my BOP bro's.

Check to see what team is low number. Make sure that team is under attack. Change to that team. Fly 100% for that team untill numbers change.

I always check my fuel and loadout first then calibrate then '.showjoin 0' then '.squelch (list of twelve dramaqueens).'

Hitech should make a checklist for this.

Same here...I usually get a "connection lost" for the first time logging into AH...I have a thought that it might be because of the the preload take sooo long, the game loses connection with host.

1.Find a CV

2. go to hanger....select Hellcat 50% fuel and a DT

3. Take off my pants.

 Pretty much in that order. Sometimes the Pants are off already...in that case replace step three with....put on clown wig.

Yep, then switch to whatever country has the fewest players. Then check map to find a base under attack that I can defend.

Usually .sr go to my squad and check what is going on & where do I fit in the carnage.  Hope not to be a target, but if I need to supply a base that's all part of it.  Hope to be able to complete the bomb run with my T-Bolt without dumping the load to defend myself.  O-well on the way to the ground again.   :noid  :salute
