Title: Whats your first move?
Post by: Windycty on November 02, 2018, 04:04:04 PM: Just curious what everyone's first move is when they log on...fly your favorite ride? Move to bases that are under attack? I usually take up a buff and go on the offense.

Post by: puller on November 02, 2018, 05:41:04 PM: Look over map and check country status....check the roster.....I then calibrate my stick, throttle and pedals whether they need it or not....check over map again while watching chat buffer for ideas of what to do with my evening...if bases need attacking or defending or if I just want to furball I head for the largest darbar...by simply watching the map you can have constant action no matter what the numbers are...

Post by: Oldman731 on November 02, 2018, 07:24:06 PM: Interesting question. If I'm going to be honest (for once?):

- I check to make certain the side I'm on is the lowest side, or very close.

- I look to see where the big dar bars are, for my side v. one of the other sides.

- I try to find a smaller enemy dar bar sector in my territory, that isn't bombers, in hopes I can find a smaller fight where I'll not just be part of a giant furball.

- If that doesn't work out (and many times it doesn't)...depending on my mood and time constraints...I'll either join the giant furball, or I'll announce my position and plane type and altitude and head for a vacant enemy base.

Each day and time has different meaning based on who's playing i.e. squad nights or mornings and how to proceed against a given ccountry and target.

2. Finding an nme base near the main action that will benefit my country the most is usually my first target. These days I run on 2 or 3 pcs flying buffs and running troops in unison when I play. So im either taking the base in 30 minutes or its move onto the next base. Unless a squad is already working then I will run all buffs and provide totall logistic operations. Shutting down bases and wfing/de-acking within 10 minutes when possible. Even sending a set or two to adjacent bases closing gv hangers spawning into the base.

It always has and always will be about winning the war...

3. After the first base falls (usually within the first 15-20 minutes these days) its all about momentum. Blitzkrieg base taking is critical so if I can work 2 bases at once from log in to log out I will no matter whether its an airfield, gv base, or port. Its just that this can be hard to coordinate by myself so I try to work in packs.

4. If im really not in the mood to put in work I link up the sets in nice tight formations and try to give the enemy a nice fat target to shoot at until something gets going :x

Post by: Ciaphas on November 02, 2018, 10:27:30 PM: 1. Drop a Salute to the country
2. Scan map
3. Ask where I am needed in case of a dire situation that I am not aware of

4. Up a TU-2 and troll the unsuspecting pilot while dropping VHs and CVs and getting stuck in with fighters after I am out of bombs

repeat steps 2,3 and 4 until real life requires me to log for the day

I always die really fast on my first sortie... don't know why...but am always glad when it is over
