I am BISH! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
lol StSanta, first time Knights have less that Bishops and you do a screenshot! Sheesh, it seems that nits HAVE to have the most pilots or else it isn't fair!?! BTW, your map shows how it has been for Bishops for the almost the entire of last month, no joke! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Okay, here's mine then... this is normal for Bish...

Airguard, everytime I have logged on for the past 2 months (9pm GMT) Bishops have had the least amount of pilots. On one or two occasions we've had the odd pilot more. So yeah, it made me wonder how many Bish were European, not that I am moaning but most seem to be Knight.

For those of us who were here in beta, you won't get any sympathy from a knight.

Apache,
I flew Knight during beta (after an excellent post by Dolomite, hey where is he nowadays (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) during the days when we would only have 6 or so on during prime time (it was alot of fun actually) Agreed with ya there!
The numbers and the ganging comes and goes. Never crow to loud when you got the numbers, and never whine too much when ya don't. The worm will turn...it always does.

Santa...they are hiding in their caves just to make us sure that it's a good time to attack, and while we attacking they are coming up and taking our fields and womans. then hiding back and whining about numbers while having funs with our goodies (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Well, my point being it happens to everyone.
Furthermore, when I have a day off, I typically fly for an hour, do other stuff, fly for an hour, take a nap, fly for an hour.
So, I can tell you this: it really depends on what time a day what the numbers are. 8-12 my time, low numbers, but in favour o rooks and bish. 2-4pm rook bish got number. 4-8 about equal. After that, usually a nit advantage til 23:00, then rooks and bish come back in force.
At any rate, my message is: don't whine. Happens to everyone. Notice numbers and two front war on the pic.
So, what rip said in another thread.
It WOULD be nice if the two strong countries don't both beat on the weak one, nits included. Whenever JG54 is online, you'll find us pounding away at targets away from the main nit force - even if it means us being outnumbered.
At least 3 kill stealers don't go in on the wingless niki I just shot down. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Dunno about anyone else but I will always try and attack against the side with the most pilots. This is often the Knights and if others do the same then perhaps that's why Knights get both Rooks and Bish hitting them. Quite often though I am defending all the time. Doesn't bother me that much to be honest though it is annoying when some people seem to swap sides just to be on the 'winning side'.

Hehe, I remember when it was NO knight for 12 hours consecutive. Then 1 appeared and tried to get attention for about another hour (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Funny thing is that knights had very good pilots even then, and may be in % ratio of aces it was the stronger country even then.

I agree Guard, don't mind flying underdog anymore, won't here me about it anymore either, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The AKs routinely rotate through the three sides with each tour. So far, we have been:
Knit, Rook, Bish, Knit and Rook (in that sequence.)
I have noticed the following things:
1) Regardless of the numbers, you always have the perception the other two sides are ganging up on you. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it always feels that way.
2) You always feel like no one clears sixes.
3) You always feel like your current side is disorganized.
I think the following are facts. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Each individual is responsible for his own six and whining because someone didn't clear it won't help a thing.
Heh, often someone will dive into a fray to help another guy out, only to look up as the guy flies away leaving you alone to face 3 determined enemies. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Maybe the relevant question here is "did the guy ask you to help?" If so, yeah, he should stick with you, otherwise, so what if he flies away?
