One of my rare appearances in MW last night.
One sortie in SpitIX, found a P51 over my VBase with alt. He makes a lame BnZ attack and dives to the deck, full wep for 10 miles. Then he zooms up and continues to extend. Then he turns and starts making one lame BnZ pass after another and zooms out of icon range each time. Finally, when I run outta gas and land at the VBase, he swoops in and vulches me. What skillz. :rofl
Then, I see a big fight at another of our VBases so go check it out. Three planes vs one of ours, and a couple GV's on the ground. Two of us on the ground kill troops and the GV, and dispatch 2 of the three planes to help out our friendly over head. Next thing you see is a string of 9 dots coming from the airbase to the north. 4 formations of lancs, and heavy fighters to shut down the base with only 3 or so defenders.
Yeah, I don't miss that kind of stuff at all...but find it extremely hilarious.
-
I disagree with sending bunches like that to shut down a base. It just kills the fight.
With lite number in the arena if one set comes in it can get a fight going. Folks trying to get the buff and others trying to defend the buffs.
We had a base down south that had lots o buffs coming in. We were able to defend though as they were not very high.
-
I was in there the other day. There were 7 Satans playmates on one coutry and 1 player on each of the other two.
They were flying 4 sets of lancs and a few heavy f6fs and steamrolling undefended bases lol!!

now ya know why i don't go there anymore.

I have been having a blast in MW. Best game play in months. The one problem is that I have noticed an uptick in trash talk as more LW players stop by during caps issues in LW.
Shuff did well clubbing baby seals in MW last night too. Landed a P38J sortie of 18 kills I think it was......maybe it was 28 kills lol
Dot the 51 played his game and killed you. Sounds like it was a grudge kill. Who was it?
-
Hmm I might have to give it a peek. You know how much I love hilarity.
-
Next time just ho every pony that just tries to bnz you. I always do :devil. Hey if that's the only way to get a kill, then that's what I'll do.

Not that I'm defending the playmates but I've seen this from every country try logging on at 5:30 or 6:00 am central time almost bet u there will be a group of bish on rolling the bases with either 0 or 1 rook or nit on. Rooks are guilty of the same thing. What's funny is when you up and stop this what can I say milking they always seem to stop and start attacking the lower number side opposite side of the map. Can't say I haven't been guilty of the hording or shutting down a base. Atleast I'm honest unlike some others that whine and complain when it's done to them and they never do it. Yea right

both the spitIX and the P51B in the MW have the same engine... Merlin 61s :noid

These cases are not rare for me, sometimes we are 3 or 4 of us defending a base and 10-12 trying for 20 or more minutes long, even closing the VH's, but even like that they can't take it even with the VH's down we just take off planes til the VH's are up they can work for 1hour or more to take that baes, off course I love it cuz i got a lot of kills :cool:
-

Was not a grudge kill...he had no idea who I was, and it was his first sortie of the new tour. Not going to name names. The hilarious part to me was he couldn't BnZ me to death (but almost bored me to death)...he had to wait until I was on the ground and rolling to a stop to get his kill. I said nothing to him, because there is no point as I don't give a rip about dying.
Next time just ho every pony that just tries to bnz you. I always do :devil.
HO is not my style. I prefer a fight, which is also why I don't fly BnZ style either.
-
With all due respect Dot, before you came in last night we had a few good fights vs the bish in the south and defending against the knits in the north. We were spread apart to defend for a good part of the night. About when you came in most knits left except a few of em. Personally it was a change to attack something then to defend against the regular squads or hordes that are in MW normally. :aok Anyways, I agree it's not a lot of fun when defending against overwhelming numbers but it looks like that's the way the game is coming too for now. Hopefully some things will change in the future and good fights will come again. :aok

While under usual conditions you would find fights quicker by going low number (which i usually highly recommend) it is not always the case.
In MW you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs waiting for anyone to come attack at times. When that happens I will look at the base count and how many folks are airborn on each side. I will pick the side that seems to be either underpowered or with the least amount of territory.
One side may have one or none while the two other sides fight it out in another area. That actually works great whenever there are low numbers in the arena.
It is always ebb and flow. You have to watch the game breathe.

both the spitIX and the P51B in the MW have the same engine... Merlin 61s :noid
Just because they have the same engine doesn't mean they will perform the same. Believe the P-51B is a tad faster than the P-38J on the deck whereas the P-38J is faster than the Spitfire Mk IX on the deck.
ack-ack
-
all 3 sides have there chance at rolling bases knights do it rooks do it and so do bish depends on the time of the day.last night i had a blast is was 20 rooks vs 5 knights and 5 bish most fun i have had in awhile took a tiger to a town and got 21 kills and saved the base soon after town pop everyone logged but you cant ask for anymore fun then that imo its fun being on the low end or the end that is rolling.....not to mention i made 200 fighter perks i about 2 hours, so good for perk farming as well hope it keeps going the way it has been b/c its not jsut one country rolling now it all <<S>> MW......and for those of you that dont already know my name is not "biggamer" anymore it is now "AZRIEL"

The purpose of this thread was not to whine, but to make a humorous observation about the activities of the evening.
While under usual conditions you would find fights quicker by going low number (which i usually highly recommend) it is not always the case.
I almost always jump to the low number side. But I look where the fights are and how the forces are spread out before deciding. If I log in and see bases flashing, I'll jump right in and start defending, then take a breath and see how the map looks.

Totally understand the way players come and go. It's all a matter of the timing of getting into an arena. I just thought it funny that three or four of you guys got blown up and then came back with nine or ten. :D
Well, I'm off to the AvA to fly my Hurri-1 in the BoB setup that just started today. :salute

Not saying that wasnt the case when you were on... but every time I have been in MW lately, the sides have been pretty darn even, and the fights have been "good and plenty"... and that includes our squad being on in numbers.
Do knights roll bases in MW? Sure they do. I am not on during the weekday hours, but I know it goes on. But the bish AND the rooks do it at other times as well. It just amuses me that every time someone says something about MW, someone else points the finger at VF-15. But hey... we know we are hated, and we are cool with that. All I am saying is that when MOST of VF-15 is on, the sides and fights are pretty darn even.
The last week or so have been good examples... Big furballs over bases, epic sea battles, massive tank fights... some of the best fights I have seen in MW in the last year have been in the last week.
Oh and I get killed a plenty too. I dont boast at the times I do well, cause I know my turn is coming... probably several times. Shuffler, Dotcommi, Ump40, Black70, xtiger, Sparky, Gaf, Oldman22... and more, are all respected foes that I fly against, and die at the hands of, time... and time again. I cheer when I shoot one of them down, and I curse when they kill me... while I am rolling down the runway in a new plane to go at it again.
To me... MW is home. I may go off and fly in LW when the rest of VF-15 is flying there, but we always come back to MW. That is really what it comes down to for me anyway... I fly when, and where my squad flies. And I do my best not to trash other players, or other squads just because I may not like their style of play.
I do not define VF-15 as basetakers, maprollers, furballers, or any other term we use here. I define them in one way... a team. Whatever we do, wherever we fly, whatever the mission... we do it as a team. It is what drew me to them in the first place, and it is why I stay. That... and some of those guys are just damn funny.
So say what you want about VF-15. I know that this will probably get tossed back in my face by someone who hates us... but I really dont care, nor do I plan on responding to it. Anyone who flies with me, or against me, knows that I have a pretty fast squelch button finger, and I would rather spend my time flying... than arguing about anything.

Nothing against your squad whatsoever!
This is the first time ive came across you guys and I was Just stating my one experience of MW.
<S> AKP, very dignified response sir!

i don't think anyone REALLY hates the sqaud dood. you guys get a lot of "press" because you're good at what you do....and that's taking bases. that's fine.
there are however, a couple members(at least the last time i visited mw) that tend to be somewhat of an embarrassment to the squad.

ENY would prevent what you describe................... So how many on the other countries?
I was in there the other day. There were 7 Satans playmates on one coutry and 1 player on each of the other two.

No, they rather just talk chit.... like the guy above.....
It's too bad people are so quick to name names and jump to conclusions. I deliberately left out any names (squads or people) with the express intent to share a story. I thought it funny that the guy in the P51 could only kill me after running me outta gas and vulching me. I thought it funny that three guys got killed and brought 10 more back with them. That's all.
I've grown past hating people or squads. It's just a game.

I think the OP made the same mistake that I make when I try out small-populated arenas: You assume when there's like 10-15 guys there, DOGFIGHTS would therefore occur. Often seems just a scaled down version of typical MA game play

*checks schedule*
Hmmm.. Monday I'm there from 5:30ish to 7ish CST.. ya I'm open. I'll come screaming in and give you my best. Decent warmup for when the better pilots get there :D
-

what shirly said.
generally there's decent numbers in there from about 8pm or 9pm'ish till 11'ish eastern.
also, it seems that when i log in there, if no one is present, then stay awhile, and amuse yourself........generally someone comes in....then someone else....then someone else.......and next thing ya know the cartoon lead if flyin :aok
-
What I was implying was, if there's only a few guys there, 4 guys oughtn't be jumping you like a buncha frat boys on a drunk chick. At LEAST wait for the first 1 on 1 to end...THEN, on the off chance I prevail, next guy fill me with lead.

Well said AKP <S>
I have always enjoyed playing MW with most everyone in VF15. There was a time not too long ago when a few bad actors were imho hurting the good work and reputation of the squad, and ultimately that you guys had left MW entirely, but that appears to have taken care of itself from what I have seen lately.
Good to see you guys back and kickin azz.

Sure, this works, and I will not disagree with you on principle. But ultimately this is how it boils down: I will do just as you prescribe only to get the nasty PM whine because the guy I just waxxed had such poor energy after the initial fight was over. The idea being that I should have waited and let him get to an advantageous Energy condition before commiting to the fight. Heres an idea: Lets all just form up in a que and go 1 v 1 from here on out :cheers:
When it is all said and done: the MA concept is that of a FFA. Buyer beware.

that's an anomaly for the most part. I'll be there this week Mon - Wed at the aforementioned times. I'm not much of a challenge but I am a good sport and I do give it my best every time :D

HO is not my style. I prefer a fight, which is also why I don't fly BnZ style either.
There are very few players that are going to slow down a P-51 to dogfight your Spit 9. If you really crave a fight and don't give a rip about dying. Why not take up a P-51 yourself and go find a Spit 9 to dogfight with?

Been there, done that, have fun doing it. It's just that I happened to be in a Spit9 this sortie. Also, I wasn't expecting the P51 to slow and turn with me. I was at least expecting a little more aggressive flying rather than lame pass and extend out of icon range ad nauseum, then a vulch after I touched down. To me that kind of timid flying shows a pilot with little skill and a fear of hurting his score.

ive met only one 51 driver that I could not kill from there BnZ tactics that was Steve, learn to stay in front of them and avoid at right moment, as they go by blast em simple as that hell if i can do it with my aim anyone can.
