To answer your question though...IMO of course...
The thing worth fighting for is the fight itself, nothing more to it than that.

So in less words you are saying that your way is the best way to play?


Yes it is, but no one is forcing you to play it.  We all just wish you guys would take the blue pill, wake up and realize it.:aok

yep... in the end...only the fight matters.   If you try to make anything else matter you are only fooling yourself and will probly leave when you see what an emty goal you have set for yourself and all the time you have wasted in the horde.

I am not good at reading irish but if I read it correctly... the irish guys want to make even more rewards for flying timidly in the horde.   I don't see this solving the problem for anyone.

Sounds like someone who's been playing MMORPGs lately. Gotta get my mage into level60 or my elementalist/ranger needs a new spell.

I'm glad perk rides (our version of the weapon/spell/armor power-ups) are so much easier to get, a couple of hops in a 202 equals a Tempest.

Ahhhh haaaaa.
See laz the Irish are known for 2 things.... drinking and fighting. (not neccicarily in that order) They also dont care who they fight. Best fights are usually amongst themselves.

So I'd like a correction of your last post. :D

If i was complaining i would have made some condecending remarks, about other styles, and whined an complained. Well i didn't. I Asked a few of the questions that were on my mind, stated an opinion, and tried to briefly explain it. key word briefly. Now since this is an open forum i figured i would get some responses from others explaining there views. All i wanted was to start a discussion. And yes i know my spelling sucks.


You started it, but you rattled the cage too hard.   Now back to Perks.   Personally, I can careless about perks because I rarely fly em.   I'll fly the 152 every now and then, or the 262 and 163 even less than the 152.    So, why do I have a "decent amount" of perks?    I choose to fly "High Eny" planes.   I'm sorry that I land kills in a Spit 1 or Hurri 1.   I'm sorry that I fly the 190F4, 38G, Ki61, Spit5, and D11.   I enjoy the challenge of taking a "POS P40B" and landing kills.   A couple of years back I flew the La7 exclusively and became very bored with it, it was "too easy" to land kills in the 8+ range.   I lost the fire for a few months.  

Fun to me isn't taking a Niki, witnessing a good one on one, barrel in ruining a fight and claiming to be the cat's arse for acting like a d*ck.   Fun to me isn't taking a perfectly good turner like the La7 (it IS one of the best turners in the game) and when someone realizes they're in deeper than they should be, rev and HO.   Fun to me is shooting down Rank potatos strafing a city in the middle of nowhere for "lowering the bomber or attack ranking".    Fun to me is eliminating a spawn camper (ask FireHwk about that).   Fun to me is clearing a countrymates 6 when other's "blow by them", because I know for some Rooks that this is recipricated back to me.   Fun to me is grabbing a goon or M3 for a base capture, supplying a field or vehicles.

Edbert is right, and there are a few of us left.   "The thing worth fighting for is the fight itself."  If you lose sight of this, it's time to stop paying and leave.

I quoted your post because you said you weren't Irish.
Hence my posting about what the Irish are known for.


Just a little sarcastic humor, nothing to get upset about.

bronk... my grandfather came here from Scotland...  He learned to speak and write American tho.   I don't think there is much dispute about the Iris or the Scotts so far as driniking and fighting but....  there are a few timid ones in every country... I didn't know that we were talking about brits...  whole nuther beast there and makes the post more understandable..

furball is the exception to the timidity of the brits but... He is most likely one of my illigitimate sons and... a BK sooo....

As for perks... real men don't have any use for em.   I have 23,000  I'd sell em if I could.  You want perks?   fly the slow planes.

The reward should be the fight.  The problem is the rewards for folks are perk points, attaboys and map resets.

I don't take perk rides, and could care less about attaboys and resets.  But every so often I get one of those white knuckle fights where I'm working my tail off to try and stay alive.  I win some, I lose more, but it's that feeling in that fight that keeps me going.

I remember the last best fight I had.  I got jumped by a guy in a 16 and I was in a 38G.  Fight spiraled down from 10K to the deck and we scissored back and forth trying to get the edge.  I was light enough in fuel that I could hang with him but it literally went on for 5 minutes before I finally got a snap shot that took his wing off as he tried to reverse the turn hard in front of me.

When the dust settled my hands were shaking from working that hard but it felt great.

It's probably been a month and a half since that fight, but I keep looking for another one.  That's my reward from this game :)

oldman is refering to the CT and he is correct...  people there like to fight.  they don't care about the bases or the gv's or bombers or any of that stuff.

If there are 30 people in the ct AND (a big and) the planes are early/mid war... it is a better fight than at 90% of the MA maps when 500 are on... You won't be fighting a 16 against a 38 tho.... that is the only thing wrong with the ct in my opinion... no variety of planes in the fight.

In the MA... the map makers main goal seems to be to figure out a way that 500 people can all hide from the enemy at the same time.   They allso seem to design so that horde is the only option (ft and festers maps are the exception)

If you see a large green and a large red bar it means nothing...  by the time you make the 5 minute flight to the enemy... either you are alone facing 25 kill starved red planes or....  circling an empty enemy field with 25 green planes and hoping that if some idiot ups you can get him before the other 25 guys all shooting over your shoulder.

Festers map has some close fields... the fights happen there and at the CV's.

You can't have good fights on maps with fields that are far apart except for the rare time that is akin to winning the lottery.
