I am buying the game tonight, but who to choose 0_o
who has the best bomber sqaudron?

I'm partial to the pawns...
:noid

come to the Bish. the 91st and the dickweeds always set up great bomb runs. the 582nd tries to escort them as much as possible. both squads are great groups. you can choose which to join. I actually don't know if they are recruiting right now but ik they wont mind me putting their name out there :aok

Nits are looking for armchair generals if you can fill the void.

Don't limit yourself to one side right away. Fly all sides and meet lots of nice guys and gals. After a while, you may find one side more to your liking either because of the players or their playstyle.
-
Bishops are where you belong! :P
-
Knights are the best, rooks and bish basically are scared to come into range of knights under 25k alt. :P

It's kind of like Republicans and Democrats...they all say they're the best and the others are demonspawn but the truth is your world is pretty messed up no matter which side you pick.

agreed. i love the bish to death, but i have friends and allies on rooks and nits too if i ever choose to fly with them

Just go with the lowest numbers side..be a gun for hire .... this way you never have to worry about ENY...get to fly cheap perk rides ....and fly with not against more of the community....
-
Bish 91 st, great group, if I'm not already in the air & they announce a mish I'm there.
Although, I prefer the crate the 17s were shipped in. They do stick to good buff tactics.
Welcome to yer worst addiction to btw.

There are great guys on all sides of this war, and you'll have a good time wherever you choose to make your home. As for bomber groups, as mentioned the Dickweeds fly Bishops and are a fun group of guys who fly bomber missions all the time. Fly Bishop on Tuesday Night about 7pm PST and look for GrnEagle. Fly with em, maybe you'll have a blast and find a fit, maybe not. Either way you should have a good time.

OK then so he only gets to choose 1 perk ride.
He can still be a gun for hire and join any of the bomber groups headed out...
I have no idea...I fly bish....

That tells me a lot about Bish Pilots.
One line says it all.
Happy Trails.

Hmmm, that's interesting.

Why?
I only quoted you and looked at it in a light hearted manner.
Take it in the spirit it was pointed out in and move on. That is taking the p#ss or puus as it may be pronounced in some parts of the world which may have recently received a shake up.
Cheers.
-
The Bishops are more accepting of the new guys I think. And they do have some good buff squads. The 91st comes to mind.
With that being said though, you should really fly a month or so in each country and find some guys you'll have fun with. :salute
-
Dot nailed it. Try all 3!
-
The bish are probably the best for being new user friendly..but there are a lot of very good players on bish side.
The Knights are outnumbered 75% of the time and do alot of defending, it may seem like they always get their butts kicked but they have IMO the most solid players.
The rooks are IMO almost a mirror image of the bish but with a bit more talented guys making up the whole.
Personally I have friends on all 3 and don't mind jumping back and forth.
-
Bishops are where you belong! :P
He didn't say he wanted a lobotomy ;)

I would suggest "Army of Muppets" , The Few or Pigs on a Wing...

Do not come knights....thank you :old:

don't limit yourself to one chess piece. fly the low numbers side. it makes for finding fights, and keeps things a lil more equal.
you'll also find that by switching sides, you get to "meet" more potential friends too. :aok
-
Don't get hung up on any one chess piece. Your loyalty will not be returned, you will not be deeded large tracks of land, and the girls will still think you're a nerd no matter what chess piece you fly for.
Fly for all sides you'll make more friends, and enemies (it is a combat game after all) that way.
Try to stay out of the hordes,(both sides). You don't learn anything other than it really does resemble the mine, mine, mine,seagulls in "Finding Nemo"
-
Always been partial to the Knights, good group on the whole. never could tell Rooks or Bish apart-----All their icons are the same color, a cloud of red heading in my direction :eek:

You should fly all three countries and get a feel for the flow.
Also fly with some reputable squads too. What I mean by that is squads that have been around for a bit and know what their doing. Don't get suckered in for at least 3 months to any country or squad. Otherwise you may hate to even log on. Good luck on your search.

Actually I didn't know that AH was on the market for sale. Just how much are you thinking of laying out for AHII? :devil

Actually since this guy has been here over a year in the BBS forums and has been advised that his mega post of asking this and that would be better suited for the help and training forum and he ignores it, I'd wanna see him go rook. heheheh

Thanks. I think.... :headscratch:

Try all 3.. Make it fit your definition of 'fun'.
Try all arenas....
-
try all 3. go i the midwar where you're more likely to find a fight with lesser numbers so you can work on your SA and ACM. Prepare to die alot as long as you're a loner and a learner!

I would trust someone who plays with that mentality (chronic side-hoppers) by roughly .009% of the distance that I could physically throw them.
Fly with all sides and then pick one and be loyal.

:lol

Don't go join the first squad you have the opportunity too. A lot of squads don't mind someone flying with them (if you ask) so there is no need to join right away.
I'd advise to just lay back and go with the flow of a squad you are flying with at that time. Playing 100 questions, and "I think we should" is a quick way to become unwelcome on someone's channel.

I side-hop a lot...to find fights. Whatever country I'm on, that's who I'm loyal to until I go elsewhere. I don't bring any baggage or intel from the country I was just flying for. It's not that hard a thing to do, and I've never been accused of foul play - because I conduct myself in such a manner that nobody has ever questioned my integrity.
Went to EW last night. 9 nits and nobody else - they were all attacking rook so I switched to rook. Had a helluva fun time and eventually others came in and evened things up and for a couple of hours everyone was fighting and [presumably] having fun.
So, yes; by all means switch sides if it means meeting more people and having more fun. Let your actions and attitude speak for you when the fanatical chesspiece-loyalists give you a hard time about it.

flew in EW last night to logged on as a knight seen the numbers and changed to Rook, had fun i'd have to say

Fly with all sides
and you will realize that they are all the same - it depends upon who's on, and at times which of the larger squads are up - as to what the "mood" of that side will be at any given time.
And has been said, once you're on a side, decency dictates that when you change to another side, you autoforget anything you knew from the other side. In fact, one of the better suggestions I've seen is to play against the 3rd side for a while after you change if you possibly can.

If I didn't fly all three countries on occasion (or sometimes in one night :)) I would probably have only one third of the friends in game that I currently enjoy and as a result probably only about 1/3rd the fun.
Absolutely nothing wrong with changing countries, like everything else there's just a right and a wrong way and reason to do it.

I tend to lower the property values where ever I go, something about P-38's falling out of the sky makes the neighbors nervous. :)

Don't forget the occasional P39. Which country did we fly for tonite anyway?

WHAT MAP IS THAT?
my terrain never looks like that.....

I think that's what it looks like with the detail terrain check box unchecked. Bland and monotonous. If I ever get homesick, I can just uncheck it and fly for a bit. :bolt:

I think we were knights... but I'd have to log in to check. Which gives me an idea... I vote we get a few headhunters on one of these nights... claim an airbase then secede from whatever country we happen to be on, declaring our own independent nation in the process, THE PAWNS! All other nationalities will be shot on sight, killshooter be damned!

There's no "wait" to it.
After 7 years for me and 3 years for the squad being loyal knights the squad voted last December to leave the knights and go rook overwhelmingly on New Year's Eve.
We've been loyal rooks for over 9 months and don't have any plans to leave.
Of the short list of squad rules, any squaddie caught switching sides for any reason gets ejected.
We're very happy with the decision to go rook.
