Depends on your goal, lassie.  I would appreciate the bomber's efforts, since my goal is to take your base.  You wouldn't, since it then means that you have to find or create another furball.

Remember, it isn't all about you, except in your mind.

Well I suppose I should declare my interests here..........

Like Filth I enjoy all aspects......they all can be fun ........for me including the odd furball......especially when its spontanious.

I have no problem with furballers sharing the MA with the main thrust of the game play.

My thoughts exactly.  I enjoy certain aspects of bombers, GV's, gunning, resupplying, running in troops, and the occasional furball.  I realize everyone else finds certain characteristics of the game more fun than others, and that's what makes this game fun for me.  One consistent example of this is that I play with a squad of very diverse individuals.  Some love flying fighters and absolutely loath bombers.  I personally fly a mix of fighters and buffs, but can't hit crap in a tank.  Some love to furball, and some prefer to hit strat and take bases.  I have no problem with that.

What I do object to is the belittling (and personal attacks) of players by players as if one aspect of gameplay (furballing) supercedes another (strategic aquisition) in the MA.

It's not that people are trying to belittle other people. It's the simple fact of when there's a good fight someone always comes in and kills the FHz. Honestly, there's an easy solution to all this. Either harden the FHz or go back to not being able to destroy them.

you're telling me! that once upon a time the FHs could not get destroyed?!?!? zOMFG why do they not do this now? at least in fightertown?! all the complaining will stop if this happens!

[PK1Mw]

And one more thing, for those maps that have gv and fighter towns... or furball islands... make them bases uncapturable too!


worth a shot.

In order to open your mind, you must shut your mouth, Stank.

I've read it.

While I do not speak for the  "furballers"  I  understand what there gripe is about.
If there is a legit base capture going on "troops inbound or up from attacking field" . But the cap is not sufficiant to keep fighters down. A legit drops fom alt with a bomb sight they the furballers might not have so much of a gripe with it.
Now what they are complaning about is the A** who comes in and drops the FH with lankastukas when there is no legit base capture ongoing. IE no troops inbound no troops up multiple sectors away. The person who does this is just doing it to be a griefer .  This low life  gets his jollies by pissing off as many people as he can .

So unless that is what you are doing don't be so offended.

Let's dissect that statement...

1.  HT has no competition (not that there aren't any pretenders, they just suck).  Therefore, HT has the best product.

Yep

2.  If HT HAD competition (i.e, the pretenders didn't suck so much) the game would have to get better.

Yep again!

So what you're saying, is that this is the best game available, but it still isn't good enough for you?

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

You didn’t miss a single point!

Now, considering how many people have a hard time analyzing what they read today, you certainly have a solid grasp of deductive reasoning.

Maybe you would be taken more seriously if you had a POSITIVE, proactive suggestion, not just more adolescent "this game sucks" whiney complaints.

Any pro-active posts I have made have been shot down (pun intended).  The game sux, and the only reason I stick around is there is nothing better.

I personally want to participate in Fighter to Fighter dogfighting. No GV’s, no airfields to take or defend, no Buffs.  Just a good old fashioned QuakeHigh type of furballing fun.

I don’t care if the cockpits are realistic, I don’t care if the planes are modeled or painted correctly, and I don’t care who wins the war.

And I really care even less if you want to turn this into a personal attack.

When you have to start to turn your on attack the person rather than the idea, it is a sure sign that  your own ideas may be weak

There must be several more like minded guys like you. You should arrange with them to play together in CA or DA with nary an interruption.

There is nothing in AH to compare with a large furball.

Explain to me this connection between bombers/GVers and Mouse weilders?

I dont get it.

Or is it just another lame  and utterly moronic discription for something like "Toolshedders" that people dont like in the game and live under the delusion that if they make up a stupid name for it that people will somehow be shamed into not doing it anymore

I fail to see what the mouse has to do with it.
I only use my joystick for everything, Planes, GVs, whatever.
I am assuming the vast majority of Buff drivers GVers do the same.
I only use the mouse for the same thing evryone does reguardless of what they do.

As for whats their point? GV vrs GV Battles can be ALOT of fun too. And Im not talking about spawn camping. But rather movement and position. using the terrain to your best advantage.

Obvious you havent spent any amount of time in GVs to get the fun out of it


As for furballs.
yea there is. Take an M8 up and drive around in circles as fast as you Can all the while trying to shoot at everything in sight.

I generally equate the large furball to the mindlessness of being stuck in a  running clothes dryer. Fun for a few minutes. Then you get sick.

the majority of the kills you (speaking in general terms) get are not through plane performance, or skill but rather from cherrypicking someone while he is busy trying to do the sam ot someone else.
and the majority of times you get killed is by being cherrypicked while trying to cherypick someone else.



Like I said fun for a while then zzzzzz,zzzzzz,zzzzzz
