I concur Dingy, the CV, a STRAT weapon being used as a dweeb platform in middle island. Egads!

Dingy,

I truly understood your feelings, been there, done that lots of times. It's easy to get angry in these situations. Only that your approach and the fact I was having fun, just moved me the dweeb way. Appology accepted, and I hope mine too, the other way.

I regularly try to post missions on planner, and join the ones that others post. Please do it when you think some strat is needed, and I will join, even if I am incidentally embarked in some dweeb-like behaviour and/or we are outnumbered. No matter if is fiter, jabo or buff mission. My only no-show will be if I am already in a Squad mission. In that event, I will try to join forces.

Cheers,

Pepe

Tac, the CV is not a STRAT asset. At best, with actual counter/radar settings we have a tactic-like asset. And with the control the TG commanders have over the deck, most of the times we have an early warning system (for the enemy, that is).

Cheers,

Pepe

My approach? My approach was to take control of a carrier which did not have a captain, move it towards a base we needed strategically and to try to rally some support.

What I got was a mysterious commandeering of the TF in question who then left the captain slot. Thinking it was a problem on my end, I took control back only to find the same ghost captain taking control, changing waypoints then releasing control. Finally someone took control and kept it when I asked who was changing WPs.

I dont see anything wrong with my "approach" and I understand that I dont play enough to have the score required to keep control but this whole thing of having someone change control of TF waypoints and then disappear mysteriously does get old.

Yup, if there truly is a glaring hole in the way the perk system works, it is the fleet situation. Putting Gilligan in charge of the fleet is a good way to lose the navy.

At least with the uberride situation the worst that can happen is a guy can routinely fly one imbalancing plane.

With "approach" I meant the rude words. Didn't know at that time your problem with mystery stolen command.

If there is anything I dislike is rudeness. I can understand it, sometimes. I dislike it always. Now I can understand yours. Probably I would have acted otherwise if I knew then, but if anybody is rude with me, expect no collaboration from me, whatsoever. I'm in the game to have a good time, and this includes ignoring the "vocal" ones.

I know there are guys prone to insulting, etc. with more or less reasons to do it. I could care less about them. If my acting makes them even more offensive, so be it. I don't ever squelch channel 1 or 2 or whoever. I do not need it. And I find open channel funny, most of the times.

I have the feeling of these kind of attitude more usual in the MA lately. Sometimes is the one that goes bananas because some TG commander denies the dweeby use of the fleet, sometimes is the opposite. Sometimes is nobody flying goon, sometimes....And I am not talking about "Chog dweeb" and the like.

That's what I saw wrong of your approach. Nothing more, nothing less. I understood your concern for A19-P21, but, dang, your attitude made me think "so what?".

As I said before, I'm always keen on joining missions, as they reflect (IMO) the only tangible expression of tactical/strategic thinking in this game, and the effort of some individual in you own country to put some order in chaos. Shouting and insulting is not the kind of behaviour I take into account. Put a mission in the planner, and I will be in.

This is not directed straight to you. As I read it on the text bar, you were insulting Spaniards in general and DobleV in particular. I pay absolutely no attention to this kind of demand of cooperation and teamwork, whoever makes the call. Not especifically because DobleV or even Spain is involved, but because insults are not tollerable, by my standards. I conducted myself with you as I would do with anyother. Of course I care about Rook's fate, but while this remains a game issue, the attitude does not.

I hope this clarify what "approach" means in my post.

Cheers,

Pepe

Dingy · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2001, 12:18:00 PM »

LOL nope, I am an equal opportunity insulter and will direct them at my own countrymen as required.

What you and DobleV got last night would also have been directed at any American if they acted as you two did last night.

Now mind you, once I found out DobleV was the one who kept taking control of the fleet away from me, I asked him nicely in private to stop doing that but went unheeded. It was then that I launched into my ch2 diatribe.

My biggest foible is that I have a short temper and it gets even shorter when I feel Im dealing with idiocy. Again, Pepe and Doble, I apologize if it seemed I was bashing Spaniards. I actually have come to enjoy the worldwide presence in AH and am NOT a xenophobic American.

I wish I could have been there to bomb the fighter hangars and sink the CV.

Me too!

The only carrier we could muster to support 19 was sunk while trying to do so. Amazing how the Nits realizing that 21 and 19 would be better suited by sinking our defending carrier while the Bish (or lemmings?) at 1 let the carrier just sit off shore

Back in our usual strategic mood, this monday Rookland was able to push back an attack from Knitland.

Against overwhelming odds, Rook forces were able to repell a combined P21-A19 attack, destroying all of the enemy airborne assets, even when P21's fate seemed sealed.

After that, we managed to disrupt 2 almost consecutive attacks over our HQ (one to be a Lanc with Pony escort, the other one a single Lanc, both on the 25/30k area), action which proved to be capital, as knits attacks decreased substantially in quantity and intensity. In all of this actions, Rooks were quite responsive to calls, and acted accordingly.

Rookland showed great...some...well, sorta strategic skills, worked as a team (well, some assorted teams), and managed to capture A-5, A8, A4, A10, A9 and sank bish fleet W of A9 (sorry if I forget something) in about 2 hours time.

And this kind of cooperative work is more often seen than ever. <S!> Rooks.

[edit] A10 captured & lost couple of times, but I should only count 1
