I tried to get a Nit base on TT - but a certain person in a WildCat must have really needed a kill... Its ok though I rammed him with my C47  :angel:

Too many bish fighting knits today. The rook capture of TT was not spectacular.

People that play AH for the flight sim aspect forget how many people are here for the tanks only. It doesnt matter what you fly there are three tanks that kill more each month than your favorite ride but people dont think of it like that. Instead they think that if TT gets taken that it will force all the players to fly and join the war. Instead what happens is the mud drivers log off. Mostly it was the noob rooks in TT and they were really easy to kill but we only had like three and four defenders in tanks and two or three in airplanes. Mud loses to steel nearly everytime so it was inevitable thats rook took everything.

RedBull1 you were helping the captures so you cant claim you are against it.

You know just one coordinated mission on the bish or nit side can get their airbase back.  Drop the hangars, bomb/deack town and have a couple goons close by.   Vbases are easy after that, I took five by myself yesterday.

It would take maybe 10 or 15 minutes.  :old:

Midway is turning into a 'win the war', lord save us.

Looking at the lack of air action these days I won't blame him.

We all know that the Fuhrer would've had them shot  :old:

Taking Tank Town goes against everything AcesHigh is about - Combat. It's about time the airbases were made uncapturable.
Once TT was over run myself and squadmate had to go dive bomb town centres in our Stooooooookas. It's not fun if the target doesn't squirm before he goes boom. :old:

Not much into Camp Town, but taking it from those that do enjoy it is fairly lame. However, sitting at the spawn complaining that people need to defend the base is also exceedingly lame.

Seems like the rook resonse to seeing 37 enemy planes over tank town and no dar bars anywhere else on the map.


I did my first ever tanktown missions yesterday and it only took an hour before I realized that most GV'ers are blind, deaf, and stupid.

You would have to be all 3 to continually spawn and die to a tank that that is clearly visible from the default tower view.

I watched Iraqvet drive right up to the field in plain sight and kill everybody who upped a tank (was not camping vh).

I finally upped and got him smoking only to watch him rumble back out past 4 friendly tanks that were spawn camping and make it to his base for supplies before my m8 could reach him.

Look around and listen..............before you spawn.

Rumbling out and dying before you get 1k from a base over and over not only does nothing to help you but the continual noise means other base defenders can't use audio clues to the enemy tanks.

Appreciate you saying that Scherf.  At lease we know the entire rook nation wasnt on board with that.  Had a hunch it was a late night low numbers base roll.    Night before last logged on and knights had our airbase and one vehicle field.  I and a handful of others took 3 vehicle bases back just to get us back to even (logged off around midnight).      

Yesterday ... Like you said whole island was takin over.  If I recall my words I said "well, damn"

See how little I go there? :)
Generally speaking, the three arrows from the base into the middle.  Must be this tank town lacks that. So they up from the base and drive out? Same thing really, all the gv's wait for someone else to defend. At least that has been my experience in the time I have seen a gv "battle" ended by base taking. A bunch camped in good locations awaiting rescue.

Frustrating yes, uncommon no.  I remember when we had that map with furball lake and during the night one team captured all the bases.... the next day a group of knits and bish gathered in a massive raid to help each other capture it's respective base back... after the knits got their base back they helped the bish get theirs back.... good times!

As a base taker and not a furballer it makes no difference to me who owns TT.

However because a lot of people Love TT, I tend not to capture those bases.  Last week we did without thinking about the needs of others and afterward I got some PMs from some sad players.  I ended up asking the friendlies that upp'd to defend the TT airfield that we took to lay off the goons please.  The opposing team was able to recapture without having to take the town down again, which is good because Top Gun took it upon themselves to liberate the field and we all know how proficient those guys are at dropping bombs.

Cool, I'm going to kill you then.  Then I'm going to  :salute you.  Then you are going to wonder where the heck I came from.  Then I'm going to PM you and we will probably be friends.

Then I'm going to kill you again.  Then you are really going to wonder why you never saw me.  Then I'm going to PM you again and we will both laugh.  Then I will probably switch sides and wing up with you and the Moppets.

Anyway, that's the plan.  

Look for the high P47N.



No, higher.










Still not high enough.

Blame the guys who camp spawn with beaks turned upward waiting to be fed instead of moving on some fields.

You want the field? go take it ......don't rue the fact that a you won't be able to land your spawn camped kills because you didn't maintain a place to land them.

I am of the opinion that tank town fields should have no map-room.

Disagree. The fields have to be able to be captured or that island makes no sense (OZkansas I mean). I think the game has evolved from when these maps were made.

Post by: R 105 on August 18, 2012, 08:03:40 AM
 There is only about half the maps that even have one good base to GV at and the New tank Town ain't one of them but it is all the GV folks have. I can bet the TT bases were taken by pilot types and not other tankers and it is the same at v135 or V85. You fly boys have the entire map to fight at but you got to screw up the few places people can GV? The solution is a new GV friendly map but someone of the tanker folks that know how to do a map will have to put one together and submit it to HTC. Don't expect any help from other sectors of the AH community 90% of that crowd would like to see GVs out of the game altogether.
