lol not poking at anyone in particular,  but i see this alot,  "Rook Horde This Rook Horde that" just cause the Rooks usually have more numbers than other countries it doesnt mean Bish or Nitwits dont attack in Hordes.  I think its getting pretty stale in my book.  If you dont like Hordes dont fight in one,  no reason to whine about it constantly.  And im the 1st one to notice the Hordes since i Decide to fight in those kind of fights.  Maybe switching to different country for a day will prove that every country "hordes" the same.

Since most nitwits are on a greater skill level then the rooks,  shouldnt we get the upperhand when it comes to engaging?  We come in High and fast you can be the low bogie,  with a reverse or two you should be able to get us with your superior ACM tactics...

My 2 cents.......

Just as an addendum. As a reasonable facsimile or simulation of WW2 airiel conflict AH actually succeeds in this very respect. Engagements typically involved at least 30 to 40 aircraft. On average a 16 man flight was typical for each side. Engagements involving fewer planes were very rare indeed, and isolated 1 Vs. 1 engagements were extremely rare, just as they are in our MA. In fact during the Battle of Britain and later in the war in Europe an engagement may have involved thousands of aircraft engaged in a relatively finite area.

In short squadron tactics actually equated to airiel gang warfare in practice. So, one horde fighting another over a finite area or strategic facility is incredibly realistic.

Yes, that would probably be best for you, good thinking sir

I dont where i proclaimed that rooks are the almighty country.. Care to point that one out?

Isn't that what this thread is all about.  

My character and brains have nothing to do with this, im merely calling it as i go, and the way i see it is, you die too often to hordes and therefore you piss and moan on the bbs thinking it will get better if you do so..

Your right your brains have nothing to do with what you post:D (OK was a cheap shot but I could not resist )

I love the hordes, like I have stated in many posts, I fly to the biggest red dar bar I can find and fight as long as I can because I hate fighting my own guys for kills and for me it is the only way to get better.  I am not crying about the hordes just calling them where I see them.  Although you are right there are alot that cry about them here.

This may not be intended for you mars, im just stating my opinion.

That's cool   wld I always enjoy running into you and your squad mates

[lazs2]

DMF... you are pretty skilless and timid but...  you will know you are truly a master of gaming the game when you achieve oh, say, 17 or so to one K/D in nothing but the fastest planes and have to have several shades accounts in order to enjoy the game.

I wish HT would make a 4th country so I didn't have to fly with any of you.

Oh ya, exactly what is a "shade" account anyway?  another name for a second.. third account?  Never really understood why a person would need  more than one account

[thrila]

Why do i have a feeling this whole thread was just a front, so zazen could post his stats to show how great he is to the world.

Exactly...  If the whines changed once in a while,  it may actually involve some brain activity on my part,  but since its always the same BS it doesnt require much thought.

I dont know mars....

""Please Horde noobs.

Also I have noticed a nice trend with the rook hordes, since there are so many noobs etc loggin rook these days I have seen alot of the more skilled vets switching to the usually out numbered side""

Back to what you wrote,  i dont see how "Also i have noticed a nice trend with the rook hordes"  is not a cry,  just a slightly gazed one so its not easily recognized nonetheless.

And just as your calling out on the hordes you see,  im calling out on the whines i see.

It comes from the old AW days when you could have multiple screen names etc. I am an "Art of War" kind of person. I believe in knowing my enemy. What better way to know him than get in his skin and fly around for a while, fly with him, film him, even loose deuce with him without him even realizing who you are? Heck,  one of my Bishop and two of my Knight accounts are even in squadrons, premier squadrons, and they have no clue You glean some very very intriguing information about the other countries, squadrons and their pilots respective flying styles.

 I also use different accounts for different things, for example, if I want to work on a plane I am unfamiliar with I will use one of my shades accounts until I become proficient. Similarily, I use shades accounts to warm-up for the day so when I get on Zazen, my aim, SA, sense of deflection etc. are already keyed up for action. Bear in mind I only have one computer, I do not use these accounts for any clandestine purpose, mainly just for practice.

P.S. it's not shade..it's shades, as in dark sunglasses, so no one knows who you are

shades were mainly used by people associated with running/developing the game so they wouldn't unnecessarily be bothered while they're merely trying to have a bit of fun.

as for your declared reason, at least the one i quoted above...
all i can really do is

[WldThing]

Well Zazen,  sorry to intrude on your conversation aswell... But if there happens to be someone thats "shading" on me..

Not at all Wildthing, I appreciate a man who comes clean. Todd did the same thing earlier, I'm sure he feels better now too. It's the preachers that spout off under the false pretense that their ***** don't stink that need a reality check. Just remember, Big Brother is WATCHING!

Oh, this is rich.  I challenge you, Zazen, to find anywhere where I've written about how I just fly one particular way and that this way is better than others.  I also ask that you find where I deny vulching, gangbanging, chute shooting, HOing, or any other sort of behavior.

God, you're a tard.

What is a "premier" squadron?

That is some freaky **** to do just for a video game.

Must be a bummer to have gone through all that and still not get the respect you craved.
