The highlight was when RuAmL accused them of cheating on 200 and whined that this game used to be a great flight Sim with great fights now reduced to its lowest point comparing it to WoTs or something hahahahahahahahaha
How these guys are able to do this is outstanding.

Just out of curiosity, why do you see this as an accomplishment and something to gloat about?

Just a griefer Dan. He was on this morning when numbers In LW were around 40 or so. He bragged that the knit HQ was down for 148mins and logged off.

The butthurt is strong with this one.
To successfully drive all the way to an HQ undetected, drop both HQ at the same time without flashing either one, keeping the enemy blind all night long on Saturday deserves a Golly-geen medal.
Apparently a lot of you trolls have forgot there is a DA. If you don't want the HQ down all night defend your city, defend your HQ.

Oh Ya that was me but I did it in lancs. I pulled a 12 hour shift. It was the last thing I did before I logged. U bet your backside with knight city down to 18% I'm dropping that bad boy. I even stayed in knight radar as long as possible at 10k to give knights a chance to defend but nothing came up. I couldn't let the 49th have all the HQ glory.
Defend your HQ

Wizz, I find it odd that in threads where serious discussion is taking place, you admonish the mods to "lock the thread before it becomes a flame fest", and then make posts like you have in this thread trying to blatantly start one yourself. I would cut /paste various statements in this thread, but I don't think it's all that necessary.
In honor of GhostCDB and his Twitter post - #hypocrisy.

Apples and oranges my friend. I'm here to poke and have fun. In the thread your talking about.... that could get real ugly.
It's good to see how much effect last night really had!!! I'm as happy as I could be right now :x

Lol you misinterpret an honest question. I hadn't flown for a long time and was on last night. All it did was making it more of a pain to find a fight.
I'm genuinely curious as to why you are so proud of taking down HQ?

Please forgive me for misinterpreting your question. All HQ does is drop the radar for entire country. It makes things taticaly difficult to anticipate and is a symbolic gesture. The community as a whole have grown accustomed to players flying lancs to an HQ so everyone grabs alt to 20-30k and hunts them down. What these guys are doing is committing a whole day to dropping both NME he's by driving for hours to the target, finding a great spot to shoot the HQ without flashing it, and making the game play of all those who just play this game to dogfight that much harder.

He was proud to be trained by vDallas..... I guess that pretty much covers it all.

So thier fun is to take an entire day to make it more difficult for others to have fun? And that's thier fun?
Now bear with me in this discussion. There was a time where I could commit those kinds of hours to playing the game. But it's been a long time. Now if I can find an hour or two once or twice a week I'm lucky.
I confess, my fun in the game is looking for a good furball. Now I know your first response is "go to the DA". But for me the other part of the fun is interacting with the players from all sides that I've gotten to know over the many years I've played. That is a lot of people who enjoy many aspects of the game. If the guys who furball all move to the DA, you break up a longstanding part of the AH experience.
So in the end what you are glorifying is a bunch of guys who take all day just to make my limited time to fly more difficult? My hour or two of dogfighting does nothing to interfere with thier desire to drop bombs and blow the map to smithereens. Yet thier desire to interfere with what I enjoy is worth taking an entire day to do?
I'm flattered that I'm that important to them, but I fail to see the logic behind thier effort. In the end isn't it counterproductive to the health of the game if a bunch of players log off out of frustration or boredom?
As I said, I haven't flown in a while due to real world stuff. But of my couple hours of time last night I probably spent at least half looking for a fight because radar was down. Wasn't much fun to be honest.
But if that's the goal, to interfere with my enjoyment of the game, it was a win for them :aok

I didn't take part in the mission. I don't have the patience for something like what they did. Just giving them their props where it is due. I'll waste my time on more important things in the game.

Still not really an answer though to my last comment. I was hoping you might clarify things a bit better.

I'm sorry for the short answers I've been in game. This is a war game. In the MA the main purpose for some of us is to win the war. By dropping both HQ'S thus blinding the NME you disrupt NME advances. I don't believe players like you are targeted when a mission like this takes place. Honestly, this cry baby whinning bs is a blast to watch. Defend the HQ, defend the strats, or get revenge and teach your NME a lesson.

Find another way to disrupt advances Golly-geemit. You stop people from being able to find a diddlying fight. No one wants to stop what they're doing to prevent some tard bellybutton player from dropping HQ because they can't do toejam for anything else in the game.
Btw, instead of using the HQ to stop enemy advances use it to weaken their defenses, it might work better. :aok

So my limited time in game should be spent loitering over HQ to protect it or in flying re enge missions to HQ?
I guess I tend to look at a bigger picture in terms of what allows for the most people to enjoy the game, with game being the important word. As the beauty of an online air combat game is getting to test your skills against actual people, it still seems counterproductive to the game to do things that makes that more difficult.
When folks say win the war I cringe as other than a few perk points all you gain is a start over. It would seem to me the challenge of actually engaging the other team would allow for the most satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment as you fight your way forward to starting over.
Oh well to each his own I guess. Just be careful for what you wish for in the short term as you may end up being disappointed with the long term end result.

First of all, I think I can say there are few players in AH having hunted down and killed more strat and HQ raiders than I did in my past 10 years. Very few.
That being said, allow me to explain my personal perspective.
The 'late night/ early morning', when you logged of after killing the HQ is actually one of my (and other non us players') prime time, so to say. And the big problem we are facing these days is finding action, finding battles. And no I'm not a 'furballer', not I'm looking for some kind of noble duels. Like many others I'm looking for battles. I want to find and engage other players in a brutal battle. Winning or holding bases or winning the war is just a means to create those battles. That's why I came to this multiplayer online game.
Unfortunately, as said before, with the low player numbers it's already difficult to find any fights/battles. And when I log and the HQ is down for another two hours, it's even more difficult to get any combat. Much more. and resupping ain't an option either with so few players around. So that's why I instantly log off again. If that's making you happy...
And each time I log off, I'm less willing to stick up the next 15$. I won't cancel my subscription for good because of the HQ alone, but there are very few reasons why I'm actually on the verge of leaving AH for good, and be assured the HQ problem is among the biggest of them.
While not particularly fond of the 'all or nothing' concept of the HQ, I had not that much of a problem with it for years. But the settings were different back then - and now that the HQ can be actually and effectively down for hours, the balance is totally out of whack. A single bomber pilot can already impact the war game so much on a local level by killing the hangars, sinking a CV quite easily or white flagging a town all by himself - But letting one player easily shut down all darbar for so long is not balanced in any way at all.
By the way, the "we just want to win the war, it's their fault for not showing up (defending)" reminds me very much of the EW arena history... we all know how that ended up...

Your right. With that said....
That's not my problem that is HTC's. Don't hate the player hate the game. If the city is down to 18% and I c that I can get there it's gonna be lights out. Like I said before when I rent to the HQ I stayed in dar for 20 minutes to allow a chance to defend. My path was obvious no one upped.

So even though it serves no other purpose than to make it more difficult for folks to find a fight, you will do it anyway? That's not HTC's problem, that's your lack of insight on what the point is.
Doing it because you can, doesn't make it the best decision.

Acting like dropping the HQ takes some sort of skill... :rofl :rofl :rofl
The 49ers are a joke and one of them still needs to change their name to 49POTW for the duels we had 2 years ago....

dan did you consider writing to htc about it, you're wasting your keystrokes with that retarded teenager, if you can grief, there will always a peon to do it.

The biggest problem this game has are grumpy old men like yourself who think by calling a grown family man a teenager you actually accomplish something.
Yall look like fools right now. I pay to play this game I spend my time doi NH what I want. If dropping HQ is a feature in the game I'll use it to my advantage as I see fit.
:D

the problem in the game is the game itself, again you give yourself and myself too much importance, whatever you think I am.
you 2nd point is exactly what I said, If there is one way to grief a large portion of the players, there will always be a retard to do it.

I like to take bases and strategic bomb. HQ'S are a rare opportunity but if I see chance I'll take it.
Some people forget how the game is supposed to be played in LW. There is no problem with the game. The game is just fine!

It is certainly your choice. I figured there must be a rational reason behind it, but it appears you get your kicks out of it more than anything else. You were presenting it as an accomplishment. I was curious as to why. I figured talking to you like an adult might elicit an adult reply.
I'm not telling you what to do, just don't understand your seeing it as a good thing or something to be proud of.
But as I said. To each his own. My guess is you won't be around for very long so the welfare of the game and the AH community of players isn't something you are concerned about. For us "old men" who have put a lot of time and energy into the game, and who have tried to contribute and make it a fun experience for as many people as possible. it's hard to understand why someone would go out of their way to undermine it.
Again, do as you please.

Good work. You saw an opportunity and took it. Not a damn thing wrong with that. :aok
The problem is that it was just you. There needs to be a minimum of two other guys with you to do it. The HQ is FAR too squishy, considering what happens when it goes down.

It wasn't me I just gave the boys a shout out on an awesome job!!! My last sortie was an HQ drop after 14 base takes, 3 dozen kills, a couple hundred bombs dropped, and several thousand miles flown from 7pm-530am. My HQ drop was my last sortie and the cheery on a delicious cheese cake of a night.
You guys are fun! Let the butt hurt flow. The fact some of you drop the it's killing the game bomb is a masterpiece!!!

Yes your right 1 set of lancs is too easy when no one is defending. It's also messed up that during the dead hours people who play are penalized for playing if you have more players than another team.
I appreciate your stance on this cause your spot on. Change the HQ drop damage to 50k making it to where you have to take B29's to drop it by yourself. Or just don't allow maps where it takes forever to respawn.

Btw gman, I don't have a problem with a flame war even though that's not what I'm doing with. In the case you are referring to the punk was disrespecting OUR game and publicly quiting. So I don't get your point?

For what it's worth, here is my opinion. I am the CO of the 49thFG. We do a lot of things in AH that most squads would never consider attempting. Personally, I find AH2 to be the best WWII simulator out there. That being said, I don't see this as an arcade fighter game, I see it as a simulator.
I completely understand that most people want to fly for a few minutes or spawn in and get in to a quick FUN fight. Trust me, I get it, but that's not all that there is here to do in AH and after years of doing that I now do other things sometimes as well. I happen to also have the benefit of having lots of squaddies to join me in the things that I find FUN and interesting.
I think we can all agree that we are here for a CHALLENGE, be that in dog-fighting, bombing, base takes, or GVs. What ever you do you are doing it for the FUN of finding out whether or not you can beat the challenge. That IS what makes any game/sim FUN.
I would like the whole AH community to know that I & the 49thFG think that bombing and bailing is a BS dick move.... That's why we don't do it. For those of you who are unaware the 49th as well as other squads like to explore the limits of artillery. YES, that's what I said, artillery! Our squad can accurately and effectively shell a target from 6.53 miles (not kilometers). This means we can kill a target without flashing it.
Yesterday we decided to do what we figured had never before been attempted in AH. To take down both enemy HQs at the same time... with artillery! Well now it has been done. Please know that this was not nor could it have been the work of one person. This was a coordinated effort by 6 people and it took a long time, but for us it was worth it to prove that it could be done. Our intention was not to piss people off or make anyone rage quit. Of course a slim grin was had when our mission was proved a success, but we did not do it to frustrate people, just to frustrate the war effort.
The fact is that there are different types of players in AH, and we seem to have a hard time getting along with those of us who are not of the same skill set. Some ONLY want to furball, some only want to GV, some only want to bomb, and some only want to take bases. To each their own and there is good reason for all! We are all here to have FUN; and I, like you get pissed when my HQ goes down, or my bases are porked everywhere, or I sit in a tower and watch a base fall when there is nothing I can do about it, but I don't start whining about it, I start reacting to it and melding the challenges I am up against in to greater goals of achievement. I'm surely not the best at any one thing, but I am dam good at a lot of stuff. For instance when Vsix0 flies to 30K to kill my bombers again for the third time in a row, I don't get pissed anymore, I just think, "Dam that guy is good! toejam I wish I was a better gunner after 5 years so I could shoot him down quicker! F**K!!!; got to respect that dedication!"
I conclusion, it is not the goal of the 49thFG to piss everyone off, it is simply to do things that people think can't be done. After all, if you thought there were GVs 200 miles behind your lines shelling your HQ you would have just killed them... right? Instead both countries assumed it was one bailing bomber pilot for 4 hours, not multiple artillery batteries waiting for you to get it back up so we could kill it again.
To Guppy35, please accept our apologies for screwing your Saturday night up a little. We know online time is precious for us all, and we are sorry to have screwed with yours. Glad to see you still had a great time with Rud3boi and were even able to take a base!!! WTG!!! Also sorry you had to fly with him whilst his blood was boiling like that. <S> Sir

Just a griefer Dan. He was on this morning when numbers In LW were around 40 or so. He bragged that the knit HQ was down for 148mins and logged off.
did not brag I called lights out on knight HQ that's it and then I logged. Was to inform Bishops and Rooks...

Ummmm Ok :headscratch:

*Merlin drops the mic and walks off the stage*

<S> 49MERLIN. That was certainly an accomplishment :rock And I'm looking forward to joining one of your artillery missions one of these days.
The bigger problem here is the fact that NOE-->Bomb-->Bail-->Repeat has become so common that on one even thought to check if it was GV's.
I think the HQ should have it's own "City", like the one surrounding the city strat. With lots of puffy ack and enough ground ground guns to make NOE suicide. The hardness should also be multiplied 1.5x so that it takes 2 sets of bombers to drop it.
You can't get the griefers to stop griefing so something has to change to make it harder for them.

For what it's worth, here is my opinion. I am the CO of the 49thFG. We do a lot of things in AH that most squads would never consider attempting. Personally, I find AH2 to be the best WWII simulator out there. That being said, I don't see this as an arcade fighter game, I see it as a simulator.
I completely understand that most people want to fly for a few minutes or spawn in and get in to a quick FUN fight. Trust me, I get it, but that's not all that there is here to do in AH and after years of doing that I now do other things sometimes as well. I happen to also have the benefit of having lots of squaddies to join me in the things that I find FUN and interesting.
I think we can all agree that we are here for a CHALLENGE, be that in dog-fighting, bombing, base takes, or GVs. What ever you do you are doing it for the FUN of finding out whether or not you can beat the challenge. That IS what makes any game/sim FUN.
I would like the whole AH community to know that I & the 49thFG think that bombing and bailing is a BS dick move.... That's why we don't do it. For those of you who are unaware the 49th as well as other squads like to explore the limits of artillery. YES, that's what I said, artillery! Our squad can accurately and effectively shell a target from 6.53 miles (not kilometers). This means we can kill a target without flashing it.
Yesterday we decided to do what we figured had never before been attempted in AH. To take down both enemy HQs at the same time... with artillery! Well now it has been done. Please know that this was not nor could it have been the work of one person. This was a coordinated effort by 6 people and it took a long time, but for us it was worth it to prove that it could be done. Our intention was not to piss people off or make anyone rage quit. Of course a slim grin was had when our mission was proved a success, but we did not do it to frustrate people, just to frustrate the war effort.
The fact is that there are different types of players in AH, and we seem to have a hard time getting along with those of us who are not of the same skill set. Some ONLY want to furball, some only want to GV, some only want to bomb, and some only want to take bases. To each their own and there is good reason for all! We are all here to have FUN; and I, like you get pissed when my HQ goes down, or my bases are porked everywhere, or I sit in a tower and watch a base fall when there is nothing I can do about it, but I don't start whining about it, I start reacting to it and melding the challenges I am up against in to greater goals of achievement. I'm surely not the best at any one thing, but I am dam good at a lot of stuff. For instance when Vsix0 flies to 30K to kill my bombers again for the third time in a row, I don't get pissed anymore, I just think, "Dam that guy is good! toejam I wish I was a better gunner after 5 years so I could shoot him down quicker! F**K!!!; got to respect that dedication!"
I conclusion, it is not the goal of the 49thFG to piss everyone off, it is simply to do things that people think can't be done. After all, if you thought there were GVs 200 miles behind your lines shelling your HQ you would have just killed them... right? Instead both countries assumed it was one bailing bomber pilot for 4 hours, not multiple artillery batteries waiting for you to get it back up so we could kill it again.
To Guppy35, please accept our apologies for screwing your Saturday night up a little. We know online time is precious for us all, and we are sorry to have screwed with yours. Glad to see you still had a great time with Rud3boi and were even able to take a base!!! WTG!!! Also sorry you had to fly with him whilst his blood was boiling like that. <S> Sir
The point is it shouldn't be that easy to take down. If it was three times as hard... so that it would take a co-ordinated attack by more than one buff.... would 6 of you bothered to try? No, because it wouldn't be possible. You would have had to bring twice, maybe three times the players to accomplish it.
The option to take out HQ shouldn't be taken away, but it should be much harder to do it.

If it was three times as hard... so that it would take a co-ordinated attack by more than one buff.... would 6 of you bothered to try?
Yes, they would have tried six times harder.
A destroyable asset will always have people willing to destroy it regardless of hardness.
Just because some guys invest more brainpower and time to successfully pull it off doesn't mean changes need to be made.
Blame the guys who don't report seeing the signs of an attack or don't report seeing buffs flying toward HQ because they are busy flying 4 minute fighter missions.
If you want to furball exclusively, then furball exclusively and accept that the crutch called radar is an option and not guaranteed........just as it wasn't in the real war.
I figured out what was up in 15 minutes while it took the knights 5 hours and the bish 3.5 hours to come to the same conclusion.
I held my tongue and watched out of curiousity which slowly turned to outrage at the lack of ability to spot the obvious.
Did it really take the knights 5 hours to even check for GV at HQ?
What we are experiencing is players who lack the ability to deduce being angered by the guys who can.
This gets worse over time as the enthusiasts that once made up the player base of combat flight sims are replaced by gamers who lack the knowledge of even the most basic strategy or tactics.
Sure, they can grow in time but they want the game changed so they don't have to learn new skills.
Sad, but true.......and now they are vocal majority who want to bring the common denominator down to thier level instead of upping thier own game.

Perhaps people are enjoying the game doing what they like to do with their limited time to play and don't want to spend that limited time flying cap over HQ

Then don't.
Anybody who needs radar to furball or find a furball should invest some time learning how to.
It's not hard.

I like to think I've been around for a long time in the flight sim community. Well, some of us get old and develop responsibilities like a household, kids, and a family. With the little time we do have maybe some of us actually want to have a good fight in AH. This is far superior to the thought of circling a virtual building knowing that our limited time in AH may be completely wasted. Heck, even if you see a potential bomber formation the attitudes are such that they bail out before you close to gun range.
Icepac, I guess you're smarter than everyone else on AH. Congratulations!

:rofl
wtg rooks! I really enjoyed the mission 49 set up months ago. rolling to a level location, being in communication with a spotter, using game controls to define a specific launch angle and direction, lobbing a few shots for adjustment, then unloading for effect. truly one of the best missions in this game. I guess these were the tactics used in the HQ raid. wow. :cheers: well done guys. :aok
-
Was wondering did the 49 th park off the bish ammo strat the other day. :noid it seemed like it was down below 25% most of the day flew around it a couple of times looking for a cv or a lvt along the train tracks but didn't see anything guess might have to use the storch now instead of a 234

In my opinion the episode highlights the game and not those who took advantage of the game. A few weeks ago someone showed me how the M3’s artillery could be used for these sorts of missions and taking down structures without causing the intended object to flash. I think my patience lost so I didn’t think about it much.
And then 49th announce they had taken down both HQ’s with a single combined mission. I am assuming they used the artillery or bombers or a combination of both. Which given there were 6 (?) players involved with over 200 on line at that point is a very major influence from a very small group of people.
They saw an opportunity and took it. They probably “spoiled” a lot of planned evenings but;
1. Using 262’s to clear airfields under attack wasn’t their intended purpose.
2. Bombing and bailing from bombers wasn’t their intended purpose.
3. Taking down towns with wirbles wasn’t their intended purpose.
And the list goes on.
Highlight the inconsistencies of the game, not the players who found a novel approach. With dwindling numbers make the HQ’s bombproof so fights are visible, scrap the 12 hour rule and let the “market” settle itself, modify the ENY so that it kicks in when critical numbers reach 100 or above and get the rotation of maps to a point where the size of the map matches the amount of players on the map so that fights are unavoidable and halve the field ack whilst doubling the town ack to discourage easy field takes whilst encouraging upping a field or two away and making field defence more dynamic. When we get back to 500 plus in the MA again on a regular basis, then is the time to perhaps reign it in again.
-
So you guys spent several hours driving around in a multi player combat sim avoiding detection by other players to attack an object that doesn't shoot back at you and I'm supposed to be impressed? You should do the rest of us a favor...cancel your subscriptions and just go back to playing Halo. Save AH for those players who want to fight each other.

While I agree to your idea when applied to bomb n bails.... I don't when it comes to HQ. If your time is so short, there is a place called "the dueling arena" where there are no buildings to worry about people blowing up.
Perhaps HTC needs to make radar like it was in WW2... a spoke that didn't tell you anything more that direction.
I feel these arguments all boil down to "you're not playing the way I want you to, and I don't like it."
In the end, targets that can get blown up bring you targets to blow up. Relax.

The only ones who have been complaining are the furballerz, country switchers, old hags who have nothing else going for them except the glory they find in AH, and the knights. Their boats got rocked and they don't like it. I haven't laughed this much in an entire day my whole life. Thank you HTC for the opportunity to experience such entertainment!

Don't get me wrong the ones I mentioned above are a wonderful element in this game and I have nothing against them in game or real life. It's good to have them around I mean it. AH wouldn't be the same without them. They just don't think outside the box of FP much lol

I have been on most of today and there hasn't been any complaints that stood out. You adapt and over come! It sucks but you deal with it :salute Merlin is nice a guy I'm not. I know how to get to guys now on a whole new lvl. Just like how I organized the 16/52 shutdown on the pizza map the day it got reset by shutting down the base then taking the port which killed the furball. All those complaints on 200 from that. :x

Actually I have never quit the game due to the HQ going down, so keep my name out of your mouth or I'll make it my mission to just ruin your fun in game(which will probably be me jumping sides and telling everyone your location and myself stealing all your kills :aok)...I do dislike it because its half retarded just like yourself. You haven't made any argument that can even be considered as a legit argument in this thread, and if you think your actually "getting" to anyone...your more retarded then we all already think.....
Have a nice day flying an hour to bomb one building(that is hard to defend because the DAR has been shown to be terrible on the current map). Maybe try it on the next map where there is actually dar around the HQ that doesn't take 20 mins by C47 to get to....

Let the butt hurt flow :x I do suck in FP.... I'm a bomber pilot :neener: and proud to admit it. I shut down bases, take bases by myself, make 2-3 hour long strat runs, resupply where needed, de-ack, sink cv, bomb**** GV, strat defend. Pork ords on entire fronts and look good doing it without trying to glorify myself. I don't have time to worry about your glorified FP mode. Too busy fighting the war.
After 4 years I'm one of the best bomber pilots this game has ever seen. I don't die unless I'm looking for a fight. I can survive a half a dozen buff killers in lancs before getting shot down. I eat 262's in lancs like it's a snack. I set out to destroy a target and very rarely am denied. When I am I was looking for a fight along the way. I don't need FP to be good.

Sounds like butthurt is what drove you to your low skill goal. What you're bragging about is possible by anyone who knows how to calibrate the bombsight, and has the tolerance to stare at sky for hours on end.
You really shouldn't brag about being a "good bomber pilot." You may as well brag about how good you are at running supplies.

on the relative value of "Furballer vs hq griefer"
the great thing about it is your great accomplishment can be changed with a keystroke by htc by changing the hq hardness or function of the hq.. your entire accomplishment is an artifact of the game setup. you yourself said both hq's were taken down by gv's without flashing the hq's.. that makes it almost impossible to defend and extremely easy to do. so congrats on exploiting a broken game mechanic.
player to player combat is more valuable.. probably because you're playing with other people and not fighting against scenery objects, which can be done offline.
even a buff pilot knows that killling 4 interceptors is more impressive than dropping bombs on things.

For what it's worth, here is my opinion. I am the CO of the 49thFG. We do a lot of things in AH that most squads would never consider attempting. Personally, I find AH2 to be the best WWII simulator out there. That being said, I don't see this as an arcade fighter game, I see it as a simulator.

I happen to also have the benefit of having lots of squaddies to join me in the things that I find FUN and interesting.
I think we can all agree that we are here for a CHALLENGE, be that in dog-fighting, bombing, base takes, or GVs. What ever you do you are doing it for the FUN of finding out whether or not you can beat the challenge. That IS what makes any game/sim FUN.
I would like the whole AH community to know that I & the 49thFG think that bombing and bailing is a BS dick move.... That's why we don't do it. For those of you who are unaware the 49th as well as other squads like to explore the limits of artillery. YES, that's what I said, artillery! Our squad can accurately and effectively shell a target from 6.53 miles (not kilometers). This means we can kill a target without flashing it.
Yesterday we decided to do what we figured had never before been attempted in AH. To take down both enemy HQs at the same time... with artillery! Well now it has been done. Please know that this was not nor could it have been the work of one person. This was a coordinated effort by 6 people and it took a long time, but for us it was worth it to prove that it could be done. Our intention was not to piss people off or make anyone rage quit. Of course a slim grin was had when our mission was proved a success, but we did not do it to frustrate people, just to frustrate the war effort.
The fact is that there are different types of players in AH, and we seem to have a hard time getting along with those of us who are not of the same skill set. Some ONLY want to furball, some only want to GV, some only want to bomb, and some only want to take bases. To each their own and there is good reason for all! We are all here to have FUN; and I, like you get pissed when my HQ goes down, or my bases are porked everywhere, or I sit in a tower and watch a base fall when there is nothing I can do about it, but I don't start whining about it, I start reacting to it and melding the challenges I am up against in to greater goals of achievement. I'm surely not the best at any one thing, but I am dam good at a lot of stuff. For instance when Vsix0 flies to 30K to kill my bombers again for the third time in a row, I don't get pissed anymore, I just think, "Dam that guy is good! toejam I wish I was a better gunner after 5 years so I could shoot him down quicker! F**K!!!; got to respect that dedication!"
I conclusion, it is not the goal of the 49thFG to piss everyone off, it is simply to do things that people think can't be done. After all, if you thought there were GVs 200 miles behind your lines shelling your HQ you would have just killed them... right? Instead both countries assumed it was one bailing bomber pilot for 4 hours, not multiple artillery batteries waiting for you to get it back up so we could kill it again.
To Guppy35, please accept our apologies for screwing your Saturday night up a little. We know online time is precious for us all, and we are sorry to have screwed with yours. Glad to see you still had a great time with Rud3boi and were even able to take a base!!! WTG!!! Also sorry you had to fly with him whilst his blood was boiling like that. <S> Sir
What's funny is you would think these losers were the first to think of firing cannons in this game long distance. :rolleyes: All they have managed to perfect or take to a whole new level is the ability to double the grief with minimum chance of being engaged by opposing players. The whole squadron is crap from the CO on down. :aok

PUUUUUULLLLLEEEEZZZEEE DON'T LOCK THIS THREAD! :D :rofl I get very few joys in life with being an OTR trucker gone 315 days a year away from home..AH2 and the BBS are two of the biggest things I have to look forward to..sad statement I know..and this thread brings tears to my eyes! :-) I actually do have an opinion about this but I don't think it matters at this point..that is all please continue :devil

Holy thread locker pigman....This is very INteresting...
-
Those artillery missions are fun as hell! I don't get why people have such a problem with it.
-
Probably because this time it was used against HQ an since it was out of alert range there was no way to stop them
-
<S> 49 guys. Don't listen to the whiners, they have every opportunity to do exactly the same thing. :rock
-

Its easy to spot their Barrage though, especially from the air. In my opinion that is a cool inventive way to knock down HQ, unlike the NOE lanc that Bails the second someone's within icon range.
-
hehehehehe i think i just thought of a new way to kill HQ oh boy

ROFL :x :banana:
Despite multiple violations of forum rules by some not so polite contributors it is obvious this was an extremely effective tatic that met complete success!

Yesterday we decided to do what we figured had never before been attempted in AH. To take down both enemy HQs at the same time... with artillery! Well now it has been done. Please know that this was not nor could it have been the work of one person. This was a coordinated effort by 6 people and it took a long time, but for us it was worth it to prove that it could be done.
Lol thats awesome <S> 49th
How many rounds did it take to knock down?
-
Lol thats awesome <S> 49th

I'd like to know myself. Does anyone know how much damage a single 75mm HE Howitzer round does? HQ takes 38k to to destroy would be simple math if we knew. I'll try and look it up today and report back.
-
Sounds like butthurt is what drove you to your low skill goal. What you're bragging about is possible by anyone who knows how to calibrate the bombsight, and has the tolerance to stare at sky for hours on end.
You really shouldn't brag about being a "good bomber pilot." You may as well brag about how good you are at running supplies.
What you don't know is that he can WF a town and de Ack it from +20 k in one set of bombers..... I know because I'm in an M3 with troops outside of town
-
It takes 228 rounds of 75mm Howitzer to take down an HQ based off my math.
Each round is the equivalent of a 166.6666666667 lb bomb

We were tossing around the idea of bringing down all the strats of entire country at one time.....could you please provide us with the country you play for as we'll fast track your country to the top of our target list.

Your in violation of forums rules and need to quit trolling :neener:
When I first came to the game I wanted to make an immediate impact on the war effort so I focused on bombers. Fell in love and haven't put in the time to master FP mode yet. I'm still a work in progress but thanks :evil:

That's gonna require a forward observer and about 500 rounds per factory. A lot harder to zero a factory from a non-flashing distance but I'm sure it's possible as hard core as you guys are.
-
Pointing out violations others are making, while ignoring your own. I would cut/paste them all for you, starting with your second post, but you'll be able to tell from all the "see rule xx" where your posts used to be when the office reopens. That's if you don't get a suspension, then you'll see them later.
-

So 2 M3/75s and a vsup carrier per HQ; well done then

LOL Gman your a funny guy. Your constant trolling is amusing! You haven't added 1 useful point to this conversation. All you have done is pointed out my faults and disagreed with everything I've said.
-

Correct! Think that was their setup on Saturday.
-
Your goal wasn't to start a conversation, your own words were you started the thread to "needle and poke", which is all you've done.
Taking down an HQ? Big deal, it happens every hour of every day the game is up, to any and all sides. Any two weeker could be shown how to do it while flying with only his feet. It isn't news, everyone including you knows this. All you did was come on the forum, make a post about it happening, and point out those by name you felt were "butthurt" by it in the game at the time. Nice 'conversation'. You wanted to get a rise out of players, and you got it. When some of the members who are widely considered the "nice guys" start responding - well, mission accomplished for you. Hope you enjoyed it, and your likely upcoming vacation.

Good. Do that more then. Still not impressed.
-
Lol thats awesome <S> 49th
How many rounds did it take to knock down?
<S>
221 +or- 1 rounds to Kill HQ with M3 Cannon - I assume it takes 37,500lbs to kill HQ
Therefore 37,500lbs/221 rounds = 169.683 lbs of force yield by 1 Round
May as well call it 170lbs
Good Luck, Good Hunting, & FIRE FOR EFFECT!!!

<S> POTW,
It's comforting to know that there is a squad like yours in AH with so much CLASS that it shines as a beacon of light to the rest of us on how we should act and react to virtual & real life situations. I appreciate that you have chosen to make the month of March, "49thFG Month"! We are very humbled that you would devote an ENTIRE month to playing only with us! Apparently HTC has designated your squad to be, or have the strength of, an entire country! WTG Country 4 Piglet Pawns! Surely a tactful squad like POTW would have the poise & professionalism not to designate themselves an entire country on their own... As for the 49th, we have a GREAT time with all the various people we play with and find it to be an enthralling & enjoyable experience playing and learning with those people.
Being a relatively new squadron in AH, (8 years), we would never be so pompous, (you may say BOLD), as to hold ourselves above another squad, much less above all other countries combined. No, sirs! We the 49ers are the learning serfs, less than squires, who would never dare to to raise from our enslaved prostrate position to gaze upon even the low hanging gold & jewel encrusted stirrups of that incredibly high horse you must be riding! We can only hope that someday you may all pass gallantly & valiantly through the gates of Valhalla so that we may have the slim chance to even begin to smell the stench from the pigpen you POTW wallow in...
Very Respectfully, tactfully, and with GREAT humility,
49MERLIN
Commanding Officer
49th Fighter Group
P.S.: You will be pleased to know that our recruiting numbers are skyrocketing due to our large prime-time player base and our varied mission sets, so you will have a lot of work to do in March. Please, get some rest...
-
Waystin now that you announced it in public, Krup is going to scare them into hiding and we will be wasting our time looking for them. You could have at least kept it a POTW secret for one night in the MA.

This post made me LOL. The 49th are pretty cool in my book, they make the MA fun for those who are new to the game and still struggling to stay competitive in our unforgiving furballs.
The 49th are actually the sole reason I ever subscribed in the first place. On the second to last day of my 2 week trail I joined a noe b25C raid to a HQ that MERLIN set up. We had just enough bombers that if we all hit we could bring it down, We came in Hit it and than avoided the swarms of 163s and got back home. IT WAS GLORIOUS!

I'M SERIOUSLY UPSET NOW... :(
I want to be the one you guys hunt down and try to ruin my game experience. I want to be the one you guys award prizes for killing.
Cause last I checked it takes a half a dozen pig planes to shoot me down when I'm on a run. Until then defend your HQ!!!
What was it 3 262's and a TA152 that intercepted me Saturday night while I was in lancs? Pigs deuces couldn't get the job done but the 152 did before I got to target. Could care less about not getting there the fight was a blast by I wasn't impressed.
Just took some guys back over there and 0% the strat. Lots of disrespect flying around with no class. I got a fire proof suit on fellas these are words through a computer. See you in the skies!
-
I think I've made 4 HQ raids in 4 years of playing this is down right funny. Gonna have to make the is a regular thing. You guys bring this stuff to a whole other level. Like its actually important to you lol don't mess with these guys ability to find an easy fight hahahaha
-
anyone can point and click a tank and anyone can be a good bomber pilot , however not everyone can be a good fighter pilot we need more fighter pilots and less easy mode stuff
-

I disagree 100%
GV is not point and click. Bombing is not climbing to outer space and milk running. See this is exactly what's wrong you folks. You think the only real challenge to this game is FP.
It's a matter of opinion. Whether or not it's supported by the majority or not I don't care. What I do I'm this game few hCe achieved.
Point and click lol

you find the ranges on GVs yes its point and click and yes bombers are easy mode , i play all aspects of the game base taking bombing GVing and flying fighters.

So you guys don't see a problem with an entire country populated by at least 90 pilots taking around 5 hours to figure out what was happening?

Lol I respect all of you but you guys whining about us taking down your HQ? lol we play how we wanna if your so mad up a bomber n take ours out simple dont be so butthurt. Thank You Gents <S> 49Baller. :ahand

like I said I disagree. What your describing is the rest of the 99%. Things I'm doing in this game most people cant. Not really trying to brag just making a point. It's one thing to milk run which is what your describing. It's another to go to a defended base under 15k and shut it down then land 2-6 kills every time you try and that's what I'm doing. It takes years to get this good yet I'm not the best just one of them. There isn't a thing I can't do as a bomber pilot in the game.

fighter pilot is easy mode :old:
try flying a bomber to target, drop accurately, and flying back home. not so easy.
try loading a fighter with bombs and delivering them to target and getting back home. not so easy.
silly fp, you know as well as i; you cant bomb as good as you pretend to be.

not just fighters, actual player vs player combat. you know, against a target that can actually move around and fight back..
nobody is afraid of 999000 because he can put a bomb on a hangar.
bombing is easy.

It's another to go to a defended base under 15k and shut it down then land 2-6 kills every time you try and that's what I'm doing.
So if we go to the AH stats pages we're going to see in excess of 2-6 fighters killed for every death you have in a bomber?
