Good fighters for sure
Can't take a base to be sure.
Teamwork is needed.
My feelings about yesterday's shenanigans in haiku.

We (Bish) can lend you Flakhappy, Joker and Ghi for a tour :devil

They can steamroll bases just as good as the Crooks and Bishies.
-
Not everyone that plays is into the smash-and-grab base taking thing. Some just like to fight, no matter how the opportunity presents itself.
-
:lol I love the guys on the Nit side but I swear when it comes time to take a base it's like herding cats dealing with them. But I said about the same thing in a thread a month ago and someone pointed out that the top base taking squad the previous tour was Jayro and his bunch. Go figure

Yeah that's true, but you'd think those guys would be spread out evenly among the three countries instead of the vast majority all on one side. :headscratch:

Maybe they all found the side that gives the least amount of verbal abuse for "just fighting and having fun".
-
wait...we're supposed to take bases? :headscratch: what the hell, when did that start?
-
It would be interesting to see a pie chart of base captures by each country. I wonder if we have a guy around here smart enough to do that? :noid

That's not knightland for sure.
I very much enjoy being on the outnumbered side and fight the hordes and thus it was great being a Knight, as for the last weeks/months it was the side most likely to be outnumbered... and most often quite massively so. Cheap perk planes, great perk bonus, lots of targets to kill without having to compete with 20 greens around... great stuff
But the neverending massive whining like "we suck ... when did Knights ever win a map... why aren't we organised..." combined with massive personal attacks ("it's YOUR fault we always lose because you...") and spy allegations simply made me quit them. It was unbearable.
Now I fly with numbers, but in peace.
I could imagine I'm not the only one :noid
-
As a Knight, this is a pretty serious issue. I apologize in advance for this post because its likley going to be long. Base taking requires a combination of tactics, teamwork, and commitment. The first thing we need to....hold on, I see something shiny!
-
I can't speak for the rest of the Knights but as a squad that flies Knights the Pigs go after red guys first, then their fields. Big red dar bars and lots of red dots on dar draw our attention. If there are not enough red guys to be found, then we will start taking and breaking red guy stuff in an effort to stoke up big red dars and lots of red dots on the dar.
-
Since I switch countries all the time...I'm gonna start taking offense no matter which country is being called out :D

(in a Duke Nukem voice)
Basetaking is for p*ssies!
-
Along the same lines of what Lusche. It amuses me to no end when the Knight General's get all fired up because no one on Knights will play the way that they want to play. If you really wanted to lead men to take bases, you would be in a squad that did that, you would organize your own squad, attracting like minded players and go for it.
I personally just love when we are hugely outnumbered, some general is whining incessantly about no organization and the he says, "The hell with Knights, I'm switching sides". I actually had one of these guys say tom me recently, "Hartmann, you should be more of a team player, all you do is fly around shooting guys down!" :O
I am amused.

In the episode where you were being text buffer attacked, I remember a few of us speaking up for your efforts against strats and trying to explain to the attackers the dynamic of strats in the game...Some of the insults hurled at you were completely BS and almost all the rest were skewed or coming from a couple there who I don't even see playing regularly. I'm sure you know who was criticizing you better than I do, but there are a lot of us who appreciate when another goes a does a strat run, if they're successful it frees someone else up to go fight. There are also (as you know) many many who don't understand strats, don't care, or just like to be internet toughguys, funnyguys & ultra melons. They jump to a gangbang like vultures and that day you were the carcass of these types.
I'm sure you were aware of all of that, but just wanted to point out that some of us tried to talk some sense into them and correct their inaccuracies; prolly to no avail :bhead
-
Fellas its like this. You can find the fight through defense or offense. I personally like picking fights instead of reacting to them. Knights for the most part are self interested or play whackamole.
-
If only you had access to the Knights-only private forum... :noid
you'd hear the same said about whatever side you fly for. ;)

A simple thing rooks and bish do to take bases that knights don't.
Bish and rooks up a second or third mission into a stalled base take and just flatten everything if the first master piece of strategery stalls.
The knights give it one go. When any tiny unaccounted thing goes wrong. It either destabilizes into a furball with possibly a base take "maybe". Or, you are suddenly green and all alone. But, not to say the knights aren't still at it. You can watch the second or even third knight mission starting on a new field and the same thing happens one or two sectors away. I can only think the mission leader means well to either sneak an undefended base or draw cons away from the first stalled mission. At least the second wave could take down ack that most knights seem to avoid like sunlight to a vampire to save their ammo for vulching. Lately I watch too many knight missions regret not de-acking.
Bish and rook seem to be able to convince two or three players to fly bomber boxes a few minutes behind the initial base attack who subsequently flatten everything missed, stopping any defense in it's tracks. It works and absolutely pisses off and demoralizes the defenders. About 35-40% of the time the knights defeat the first wave well enough that the bombers can't shut down the field. The rest of the time knights are off somewhere furballing or playing tank commander while 3 or 4 guys try to defend.
The character of each country and how missions are run, may more be a reflection of the resident squads and what about this game motivates them as organized groups. I watched squads leave the knights over the last 2 years for the bish and rooks to be with friend squads they felt were more motivated and organized. Earlier this month a knight announced on country text he was going rook because he couldn't take the disorganization and lack of motivation. Kind of what white flight left behind it in the cities with a few recent exceptions where the inner cities are being reclaimed and rebuilt into Hitech meccas, high end shopping, great night life, and upscale housing.
The bish and rook make for good fights because they are organized. A handful of squads moving back to knights would find many knights would follow them in their missions because winning missions have become so rare for the knights. Especially well organized missions. Even the best of friends eventually want to know who the better man is from time to time. Anyway, you already know how to beat up on the knights because they mostly want to furball and can't seem to keep their CV's off the bottom for very long. Competing against your friends might make for a more interesting game.

Qft buster.

Same here. Often there are 2-3 generals calling people to take different bases while knights are being outnumbered and attacked from other countries. The frequent whining usually amuses me, but sometimes it gets tiring and I stop monitoring the textbox. Do people actually think that complaining motivates players to organize? If you don`t get enough players to take a base then do something else. You can make jabo attack missions to pork the ordnance bunkers, fightersweep missions, strats attack or whatever. I don`t mind if the whiners leave, but it is bad if they make others leave.
How about the knights stop with the negative callouts and only use positive or neutral ones.

me, ruaml and others, took 4 airfields off Bish yesterday in quick succession. Just sitting in guns and or rolling GV's to resupply didn't work very well for them this time.
However they stole 2 ports and 2 cvs with about 2 players and nits didn't defend them. :bhead
Then we had fun using grayclif as a punch bag when they tried to horde them from CV's back. Was a fun couple of hours. ;)
Nits aren't the problem just lack of leadership.
-
It is sad that so many see the horde mentality of taking bases as the epitome of "best" in AH. There are so many things to do, so many different kinds of missions and tasks to accomplish other than a 30v1 horde for a base capture or "4 deh mapz winz!". If people are so focused on THAT being the the only way to enjoy the game I seriously feel sorry for them.
Anyone can put together a 30 man mission and be successful, but few can put together a 6-10 man mission and execute it perfectly WITH no P51's or P38's, legit defenders, and true precision and follow through.

me and ruaml go way back we used to play kiss chase all the time. Hated his way of flying because I didn't understand how someone could be so frustrating.
Since he returned he has been on Bish but last night he was having more fun killing them so. :aok

Thats an idiot, a worse liar than icepac. Even more, a butthead, since from i shot his butt and he claimed that i head oned him.
retard.
Bird from its feather...
-
I swear he is Doom's long lost brother. Except he flies an LA7 instead of a 190. Was funny to see them circling a base together, those poor uppers, the weight of 10 Jokers ready to blast them taking off.
But Guess what? they enjoy doing that stuff and don't care and will lie about everything just to make you angry.
oh and btw stop clicking the read this members post button. :lol

An idiot just remains an idiot, no matter what. Be happy with your little friend, youre such alike.
-
I can not count how many times my squad has handed the knights a piece of prime real estate,only to have the base re-taken because only a handful will help hold it or use it.
These bases are allways full up,never porked !!

Ltown was one of those when one day I tuned to his name on vox and respectfully let him know I don't give a damn what he wants me to do and it ain't my fault if you fail.
After that he watched me take a base with 3 guys.
Never got a comaint from him again.

funny the rooks say the same thing about themselves, i am sure the bish do too :salute

-
Knits are a funny bunch...sometimes there is no one to help defend or even to be seen in flight...and other times they are there in numbers.....I do find all knits easy to get on with and they have way less attitude than the other two sides (Generals that is)Bish have the most....But that's just my opinion and I don't really get involved with the politics of countries...
Just smile and wave boys...just smile and wave
-
Funny thing, first time I went bish they were like, umm wtf are you doing here? Please switch sides.

It took three of us take a large airfield today and there was a defender there the entire time. 6-10 is a horde. :D

That is the way to go.
One thing I've seen to much as a knight is they everyone hit A26 or whatever base but when you show up with eggs you are the only one. In more than one mission I've said lets flatten the place, the reply, "no put eggs on town."
-
Other than FB's and Jayro (have I missed anyone) for the most part the Knits don't want to take bases. Taking a base ruins a perfectly good furball :old:
And they love for the Rooks and Bish to try to take their bases as they can up and be fighting in 3.2 seconds :lol

All sides suffer and excel. 68th did a tour a few months ago as Bishop for a month and Rook for a month. We received a warm reception on both sides and it was a pleasure to fly alongside folks we've fought against for years.
Same problems and advantages on all sides. We had squad nights during our tour where we couldn't take a base for anything. Other nights we just showed up and the base was ours. I can tell you I was on for 6 map resets during our month on the Bishop side, I don't really recall one during our Rook month and I can only remember 1 this year for the Knights. These are just the times I'm on. I know all three sides have had more.
Seems to me all sides have both those that love to do nothing but fight and those that love to take bases. Bishops seem to have more of the latter with greater frequency on then Rook or Knight.
-
Well, for about 3 hours the Knights had just been one single base away from winning the map. :old:
But even after swarming and flattening the last missing Rook vehicle base, they couldn't fix the deal :noid
And now the Bish have the numbers again and are on the march... :joystick:
-
They went rook yesterday. :noid
Oh no, everybody knows you never go full retard. Or full Rook or Bishop for that matter. :)
-
As a knight... it sort of sucks to see a team so low in the trash bin that we can't get more than 3 guys on a mission... What ever happened? All it's going to take is a dedicated leader and a whole team of followers...
-
I'm really pleased Jaryo went Rook, I hope his bait, err I mean, strike team followed him. Knights will surely have 262s for 90or so perkies now <G>

I enjoy challenges. Flying Knight is a challenge. I hear people complain that someone is flying easy mode planes. But yet you change sides that has the numbers. Easy mode? What about some of you hot shot base taking squads join up witch Nights. Or is too much of a challenge.
-
Or is too much of a challenge.
It would test the patience of Job :old:
I've flown Knight and helped some of their squads in trying to conquer a map. Base taking squads aren't the problem...it's the peripheral support that's not there. That one extra C-47 needed at the last minute, or maybe one extra bomber run on the town to get the WF. Most squads rely on Pickup Missions to add a little extra muscle to a base take. Fat chance with the Knights over the long haul.
It requires long term focus to conquer a map. The Knights have this term that explains it best: "Squirrel" :lol

yep come on jokers swap, I double dare you!
You can recruit all the arm chair generals on Knights and re-create your three wings and show the pigs how to take a base properly.
Joker can be restored as the King and be worshipped as a hero for Nitland, instead of being the laughing stock of the other two teams.
and then just maybe AH will have a 3 sided war with balanced sides, no ENY restrictions and players having fun on a level playing field. :noid

Pigs will take a base if they stop fighting for it then push to the next until they get tired and fight back with the same numbers or near at least.
-
The Pigs base taking and defending is akin to a Pitbull with a steak in its mouth surrounded by a dozen dog catchers with cattle prods.....yea, they will get a few shocks in, but in the end, most will leave missing appendages....and the pitbull will still be there smiling.
Was nice to see the Gunfighters go Rook, love flying with them on Saturday mornings, and now love flying against them.... <S> Gunfighters :aok

Bish are Romans. Rooks are Mongols. Knights are Vikings, they don't come for your land. If you keep running to ack though we will de ack the field. And then if you roll flack panzers well burn the VH. If the mood strikes us well burn the whole field, if it gets captured that's just incidental. Bombing knight land is probably relatively safe. Who cares about bombers, bombers can't fight. To a knight fighting isn't an endeavor to be rewarded victory because to a knight fighting is the reward.

Call sent out for more troops
15 minutes later troops arrive, buildings popping, cons upping
goon is killed.........crickets
cap is lost, furball starts, and guys still hitting town,
45 minutes later buffs arrive to flatten field again

How To Take a Base Using the Knights Natural Tendencies.
1. - Organize your squad to bring bombers, jabo and c47. Don't tell a soul.
2. - Put up a fighter sweep mission with all the late war runners and vulch\pick monsters.
3. - Advertise the mission to hoard from a safe altitude into an enemy field for the fun of picking them to death.
4. - Launch your squad operation about 5 minutes after the vulching mission hoard is OTW lead by one of your squadmates.
5. - Now depending on how devastating the hoard dumps on the target field visa updates from your squadmate leading this farce. Second wave that field and flatten it and the town at the same time, or carry on to another objective near by because all of the enemy are trying to kill the farce sweep mission like it matters.
Win, win. Knights get to furball and not worry about field taking duties. You get free fighter suppression or strategic bait and switchery. Quit trying to reform the knights. Use them for their strengths to enhance your strategies. It's not like you don't have a clue what knights do best.

Who cares about bombers, bombers can't fight.
Typical thoughts of a fighter pilot. Fighters can't perform large scale bombing raids, even in decent numbers. Flying a fighter over strats is pointless as well. Bombers have their uses. And the 17 is armed to the teeth and is one mean girl,so yeah, they can defend themselves,so I guess you could say they can fight well, just not offensively. Well, unless you're bombing, of course. :cheers:

A bomber is a target, sorry :D
As are the fighters that come up to kill me when I'm in a bomber. One of my favourite flight in AH was helping with a field capture in Lancs and de-perking two guys who thought I would be an easy kill with their 262s. If it has guns it fights. There are a couple of Bishops and Rooks who prefer bombers who are every bit as deadly as some of the guys who fancy themselves SH aces in the MA.

What's the point of attacking a bomber, the chance for a thrilling dogfight against a formation of lancasters? "Hey they'll probably muckup my fighter but at least it won't be any fun."

When I was Rook long ago HiVolt said he doesn't attack rtb bombers. I thought about it every now and then ever since. It seems more likely they're just going to damage you and then their friend will be on you soon enough and now you've got damage. I don't know if that is why he doesn't do it or if it's just not to be a lamer. Either way if they are done dropping their bombs, someone is probably coming in who is more dangerous...

What's the point of attacking a bomber, the chance for a thrilling dogfight against a formation of lancasters? "Hey they'll probably muckup my fighter but at least it won't be any fun."
For the same reasons as in a real war - victory. It was fun to get together with others from all over the globe and win that one map as a Knight. If all I ever did was dogfight other fighters I'd get bored. Like I've written before, I enjoy all aspects of this game. The variety is the thing that keeps me here. Plus, killing bombers in a 51B quickly accumulates perk points for my other favorite fighter - the seahog.

Just want to congratulate Knights on an amazing teamwork we had today.
When I first logged we were getting beat up badly by the bish in the west and rooks in the east. Naturally, we were outnumbered...
Bish massed missions with 38s and raided 3-4 fields in an hour or so.
Then we started calling for troop porking on their fields. Then we retook our vbase.
After that it was an unstoppable steamroll on our side. I'm not talking horde style, but precision timed bombings of towns and fighter/vehicle hangars...
It was amazing, we always had a spare bomber with ords in the air loitering over the base, taking down hangars just seconds after they would pop up...
We retook all of our bases from the bish just as fast as we lost them, and retook all of our bases from the rooks and captured 15% of the rook bases even!
All by simply having bombers always in the air, constant communication of hangar downtimes, having m3s and goons on standby...
Was pretty fun night all in all.
And of course the night shift (or the US dayshift) will lose all the fields again :t :neener:

Flying a fighter over strats is pointless as well. Bombers have their uses. :
What are these strats that people talk about ?

This just keeps getting better. :lol

I don't get it. What's so funny?
