41-15 now... see how long that holds up...
it's sad and a foreboding for the new AHII that everyone is all excited about... wanna bet the vast majority of people will be allied avatars? i guess people will get a kick out of finally being able to shoot down someone, even tho' it'll in all probility be an AI drone. i sure hope HT codes the AI drones very very well, but even then....

Premature whine. We fixed it after one sortie. Didn't take long for the posts to come in, though.
Oh yeah, alomst forgot my own rolling eye thingy. Gotta add "flair" to any good whine!

it took about 10 mins of cajoling, but yeah the nbrs eventually balanced out.
:rolleyes: :eek: :D :( :) :cool: :confused:
-
The cajoling had no effect. :) 325th and VF27 wanted to do a combined operation just for the fun of it. We pointedly ignored the cajolers until we rtb'd then "played the CT" and balanced the numbers.
SO: :p
heh

how do you put it shane?
Something like:
(turns on the violin recording)
"I will fly what I want, when I want, and where I want."
-big honking hypocritical slobberdonkey
:P
-
The less things change, the more they stay the same.

in the MA perhaps, but in the CT i'm one of the people who switch around as needed to help balance out of whack numbers, when it gets 1.5-2:1 you'll find me on the lower nbr'd side. if it's less than 1.5:1 i'll wait and see if it balances out with newcomers, if not, then i switch.
since i've pretty much always been that way in CT, it's no hypocritical at all. in general you're right, but when #'s get real lopsided, it's very, very interesting to see who switches... and who doesn't.
-
Personally I take the side with the lowest numbers as soon as I log on. This is quite often the LW side. I can't fly LW iron at all so I tend to fly buffs more (one choice Ju88's) which are really tough in the BoB for the Allies. If I fly for an hour quite often in that time I see the numbers flip flop.
For the most part it works out in the wash, but I like many of you wish others would switch sides more often when it is out of balance. The exception to that is when a squad is flying together. I would fly with the squadies for a mission or two and not worry about the balance. I think most of us would.
-
the fact that the majority stayed above 20k playing with themselves, made it a non issue :)
was goofy though to see three squads as allied with almost 3 to 1 odds against LW .... you'd thunk they'd want to fight each other

I climbed up to 15 or 20K (really don't remember, but was pretty high). No matter how high I got it seemed that there were about 20 cons way higher. I just don't have the patience to clmb to the friggin stratosphere so that I can take on 20 guys by myself.
I then saw a furball near the port, so I dove down and mixed it up. There were plenty of Tommys down there as well.
The next wave came in lower and attacked a field. Defending that field was fun, even with terrible odds.

this crap comes up all the time and you morons know full well the 325th 880 and vf27 switch sides all the time. We all get along quite well, and enjoy having joint ops sometimes. You guys are just going to have to get over it.
Not our fault nobody likes flying with a few of you.
if you cant tell I am pretty fed up with this whine. Lets try some better ones next time we have a cheese party on the bbs.

what if I brush my teeth and wear deodorant, will you fly with me then? :)
me thinks many didn't want to go to low numbs as they didn't want to die out too quick

Estes, Shane, and Eagler.
It had nothing to do with not wanting to die , in fact I did better flying for the LW last night than I did the one spit hop I took. Look yes we are not an RAF squad in the 325th. We are Allied, so we tend go into each ETO setup flying Allied. The 325th Flies Japanese during the PTO's save for the one time the P-47 was available, and we flew it. Yes it was way out of balance last night, Yes I would not have enjoyed it ethier. We have our own scoring system in the 325th, so we flew one Allied mission so my guys could keep their scores for the website.
I did hear, and see all the complaints, and started watching the numbers. As soon as we did our joint mission with VF-27 Jester00, and I called an RTB , and ordered the whole squad to switch to Luftwaffe. I don't blame you guys , but then again I doin't blame the guys who are flying what they want ethier. It had nothing to do with fear of dieing too fast, if that was a fear of mine, i'd given this hobby up long ago.
Perosnally I like flying Luftwaffe. We did our squad sortie, and then we did what we felt was the right thing, if that doesnt sit well with some of you, I'm sorry.
-
low numbers had absolutely nothing to do which side we were on. The fact 3 squads wanted to fly joint ops did. 3 x 7 or so = 21 guys all flying on the same side cause they want to fly together.
None of us were flying allied cause we were 'yeller'.
if that was the case we would have been flying the planes with cannons and climb.

hehehe
just pushing some buttons

I see that.

actually i posted my #'s post before you had started that last 1 or 2 joint missons, then i went back in arena and remarked on #'s now and then; then the vf27 hellcats did come axis and blanced things out nicely - and i recall saying thx on ch2.
was no real biggie, but no one likes facing 3 - 1 odds over an extended time. seveal axis pilots had already logged by the time you guys came over. i just figered you or the checkertails would come over for a while (not like there's a 12 hr limit) seeing as how the 880 sqdn is basically a brit squad and felt it was *their finest hour* or week if you prefer.
with the basically unlimited side switching, there's no real reason #'s should get out of whack for more than 15-20 mins.

weeeeellllllllll... seeing as how the BoB was basically a LW offensive, it might have made more sense to do that joint ops on the lw end, unless you were just pigpil.. errrr fighter sweeping.
no biggie, #'s did balance out eventually.
-
Yeah Shane, we actually come in there for a fight believe it or not. Our squads just wanted to try this thing out to see how it went. Went well I suppose, but not everyone got to shoot a Jerry down since there weren't enough to go around. :D
Like you said, no biggie..or at least not to the majority of us. Channel 1 was the best part of that sortie actually. ;)

I am glad things evened out. I had to log after the first run, so I had no idea what happened the rest of the night. Thanks for understanding shane.
Next time.... Remember, and let the other guys flying axis know that some of us will even it out soon, so they dont log out.

Sheesh, girls what's all the fuss? It was just another target rich environment IMO. Not often I get 6 and 8 kill sorties before dying ya know. :D
Let 'em swarm if they want to, especially since HTC does NOT support a Historical Arena. :rolleyes: I'll take off a couple fields down and grab until 25 or 30k alt and then pick 'em off as they come up to say "Howdy".
;)
What I DO have a beef with is the morons that insist on using the Shore batteries to level towns and fields, when the OPOSSING SIDE hasn't shore batteries to reciprocate with..!:mad: Outright chickenturd, poor gamesmanship IMO! The map maker should be made to sit in one of those towns being shelled all night.... Better yet, TURN OFF SHORE BATS OR GIVE THEM TO BOTH SIDES..!
This ain't rocket science, or bridge building that requires an engineering degree ya know?
Thanks, and aren't y'all glad I didn't name names on the artillery fruits?

i'm sure P6Ehawk is ever so grateful you didn't.

Estes, what some CT nugget thinks about what my squad does, or which side it flies, matters about >< much to me. We grab alt because thats what fighters do. Its not Snoopy vs the Red Baron MA flying. We pick the side we want to fly, if it bothers you so bad, log off.
So far talking smack seems to be your best asset. Keep it up, you have a great rep for a guy who started last month.
Something else too, next time we log in, please, somebody post on ch.1 every 2 min about the side balance, its ohh so very helpfull!!!, and we all feel better for being kept informed. "Its 43 to 20"...."Its 38 to 15"...."Its 20 to 35"....gripping stuff.
Cheerio.

estes is actually hangman, an old squaddy in the vf27. He just got in with a bad crowd... ;)
2^233000 to 1 against...

Copy that, well, maybe AH lost its fun at some point for him. Im sure I liked him better as Hangman.

i always find it amusing that those who always make sure they're on the side with #'s, fly the highest, gang the hardest...
pull a about "fun."

From the biggest freaking whiner in the history of the CT....

Non stop channel 1 crap from log on untill log off with you. Doesnt ever matter the setup.
Spare me your righteous "I fly for the poor", nobody cares.
Cheerio.

dream on. i don't whine, i simply question your pedigree or mock you - all the while shooting you down easily. gotta admire your rigidity, it makes for great amusement, and easy fights.
i see you've been bitten by the scorpion, resulting in your grip on the reality of situations becoming quite tenuous.
cyas up dweeb.

Wow, landed 10 out of 106 fighter sorties. Well, I am impressed.
Listen up little boy. How about you fly some more CAP and Snaps, and maybe get your sorry behind into a squad that will take you (if any will), into a TOD, try doing it without the safety net, and you can show us all how its done...for a change of pace.
My guess is you suck so bad at landing a mission you need to live in CT where apparently, you go through a lot of planes, and your mouth makes up for your lack of rtb ability.
-
lol, you're funny. rtb is never a big factor in *my* game play.
for someone who's hot on k/d, your MA stats are well... lacking. even my k/s blows away your k/d in MA. even your k/s and k/t stats in both arenas are subpar.
i know your type, lol. proof of the peter principle.
how about *you* signing up for the H2H duel ladder at http://www.simladder.com and show me what *you* got in the way of ability.

Thats what I thought... "my style" what style is that? the I suck style?
