20 tanks in town and on field, 15+ fighters, and 3 sets of bombers at 77

OTW to 76 were more bombers and a few fighters mostly Vguys..it was near 50 guys all together and they rolled over the map.

Got film but nothing you haven't seen before.

let me guess - Rooks were close to reset so a bunch of noobs switch to Rooks to get their map-reset 25 perks, which they wont be awarded anyway because they havent been on Rooks long enough?

I could only wish that my life was so uneventful that I had the time to worry about perks...

Or.....People who were originally on Rooks along with their squads/friends didn't want to switch because then after the reset, they wouldn't be able to switch back. Meanwhile, at the same time, players who were originally on Bishops and Knights weren't logged on.

I would be stuck on Rooks, just my luck. I have got to where I never swicth cuz I am afraid of this very thing. Rather than keep looking for a fight or trying to create one. I just log.

It's just a numbers game anymore, can't beat them with skill so they throw ungodly numbers at you , rinse and repeat to the next base, game is becoming a Joke for Air combat.

hmmm  interesting opinion i can agree with. Its about numbers, flying straight, ho, pick, gang. Thought they fear my g6, switched to the jug but its still the same

I really hope the dueling ladder thingy gets working soon. I miss "those" fights.

I want to be able to switch countries whenever I want. How about 3 second side switches? Ooh, and let me do it in flight as well! Bombing HQ would be a breeze; just fly over, switch, press b, and switch back! I could saddle up on one of my "friends" and then switch and shoot him down! The only thing that would be dweeby about it is guys will be able to spawn Wirbles out of my VH's  :mad:

2 minutes for the rooks to acquire twice as many fields/bases as the other chess pieces?  :rolleyes:

They don't fear anything when it's 1v5. Well maybe a certain someone who has alot of time logged in a 262. :old:

As for changing the 12-hour time switch - I really don't see how the heck an issue of time-limitation will ever directly impact/effect an issue of a masses' desire to team up and (steam-) roll the competition over in a manner that success is guarenteed and potential resistance forcibley humbled. 

Can somene please explain?


Edit:  I almost forgot time and rate of reward - nothing rolls a massive map or necessitates steady map rotation online in this game like one country constantly hordeing.

+1 agree... sadly. The numbers have been so unbalanced its not even fun. Its not uncommon for one side to have more than the other two sides combined.

Ya my fav is when you try to drag someone from the horde, hes following you way outta icon range then when youre starting a turnfight with the dragged con, hes jumping on you, then talk smack about how lame are you.
This all rulez. This all rocks. This is so much fun. Why im here? Amazing how a buncha score sissies can ruin the best game ever.

Not by its self. I think Deb is trying to say that some game mechanic needs to be added or changed to encourage more balanced sides. Clearly  ENY isn't doing its job.

but is it really a game mechanic or player mechanics, I'm thinking the later.

Game mechanics impact player behavior. If there was a significant penalty to having  a large imbalance, then players would switch sides.

I wonder what would happen if when the war was "won" if the rosters got scrambled.  Members of the same squad would be kept together but the country tag would be change so the player mix on each team would be different.

I dont think ive ever seen this suggested before, it would put the emphasis on squads, not chesspieces :headscratch:


could be worthy of a Nobel award for thinking-outside-the-box-for-AH-gamplay :D

.     Or automatic country rotation per week for squads and individual players.    Flame on

Personally, I would be against the "random scrambling" of players that are not in a squad.
There are some who fly almost every night and some who fly less than that. It could still end up be unbalanced as to country strength.

I started as a Knight and will stay a Knight. I have never changed sides, never will.

I only fly P38s. That won't change either.
It was a childhood wish/dream - I was nine years old at the time, and now I get to live it.

I plan on being here until I die, in the real sense of the word, or AH dies. hopefully the former, not the latter.

AH is most fun, for a few cents a day, that I have run across in all my 64 years.

Just one old guy's opinion.  :old:

I love the good old days when we had a 2 hour switch time and all the countries were balanced.



































oh wait, it was just like it is now.
