"style" comparissons...

[lazs2]

Festers map does endeed have something for everyone... two close bases last nite... no real "strat" value but.... lot of players... huge fur..  the fights were from on the deck to about 5-8k..   niks la7 spits p40's a 109 or two... couple of fm2's etc..

great fights.... mostly close to the bases but... not allways and ... not a long drive anyhow.  fun... getting a couple of kills and making it back was pretty hard for me... lots of fun...

pee51's   and dee9's and typhies showed up... came in from high alt from the other direction (not part of the fight) and dive bombed/straffed the fuel down to 25%   some of em died trying..  the otheres set up for high speed vultchs on people that were busy having fun.

I grabbed a tempest at the next field and decided to play with these strat warriors.... Lots of flight time.... losts of chasing... lots of time between kills and.... the easiest kills that nite..

these guys were completely lost when something that was faster than them showed up... these were the least fun fights I have had since the last time I went after field porkers.  

so.... furball and have a challenging blast or... fight the "strat" guys and be bored and dull my own pitiful skills with lack of activity... that seems to be the choices.

I agree that the whole fuel porkage debacle has got out of hand. Last night, every single Rook front line base had been porked to 25%.

But you're making a mistake to equate fuel porkers with strat players. One is not synonymous with the other.

[lazs2]

no... every "strat" issue seems to start with fuel porkage.   The only other thing being done is large "missuns" to mob an undefended base... again... not real fun to be participating in from either end and not conducive to gaining skill.

Never thought I'd be reading those words from that poster.

The transformation has begun.

I do believe he's finally beginning to see what we've been talking about.

Luke. Luuuuuuke. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkee e. Come to the Dark Side, Luke.


See Beet? It'd be OK if resupply and destruction were somewhere near an equal effort. Then you could've logged in, flown two "refuel" supply sorties to each base on the front. It would only have taken maybe and hour of your playing time and when you had finished....... they'd have trashed the fuel at all the bases you'd just resupplied.



Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkke.

Beetle should have been rook about a year ago...

Then he would have seen the plunder and cowardice of the Knit and Bish Horde armies when they would race eachother for a reset with like 330 (combined Knit Bish) players vs 60 rooks...  Forget every field had porked fuel, more like every field had enemy cap on it...

sometimes the whole side of your country would vanish while trying to RTB... fun indeed..

Ah those were the days...

The good thing about then was I didn't feel guilty flying a stang or g10 ....

Also the quality of rook pilot was bar none..  (now its more lax....)

I almost long for a true crisis like that to happen again....

ah back to chess... ( NC4 anyone )  guess which opening?  Highlest level of draws among grandmasters..

option 3.

take ur tempest to the most likely nmy base they are taking off from.  you will get all the action you can handle without the chase.

I completely agree with you on this Beet ... "strat" purist, I don't believe are the "fuelporkinsuicidedweebs" that we all despise.

Off topic, but...

I hate that (American?) chess notation, and prefer to think of that move as Kt-QB3. I think you meant NC3. (NC4 not a legal move, if I understand that notation) Not an opening I would use; I seem to be a natural King's side player. Do you know the P-QB3 opening, and the name of it? (PC3). Great for getting the queen out on the queen's side

Back on topic...

[Zippatuh]

I always open with the “knight defense”

4 moves, two pawns, two knights, bishops open.

I then usually try and move for a king side castle.

I haven’t played long enough or with good enough players to be able to make moves by placement.

Hey! at least you finally spent some of them perkies!

[beet1e]

Yes, TW9 - you wounded my pilot. And the maddening thing is that you did with one of those BS 800 yard shots. It was a G10 - about as responsive as a frigid woman. I prefer the F4 for the type of fight we had, but it's not so good for running! How the hell you wound the pilot from a rear shot - at 800 yards - is anyone's guess. I take it LW had pilot armour...

[Shane]

see...

beet1e : 800yds

tw9: 600-700yds
