I dont think it is so much about loyalty to a chess piece as it is about knowing where one's mates can be found when logging to the game. There are even some small squads wishing to fly together (e.g. some 10-20 players online from the 4 or 5 different Finnish squadrons) and they cannot use the .sr command to find each other.

This may now mean that when one logs in, he first needs to check out the different servers to find his mates and then (if he cannot enter) recheck the arenas and countries and start negotiating on some 2## channel which arena and country could host himself and the mates.. then beg them to abort playing and follow with him (the newcomer) to some other place.

Sounds a lot like FB/IL-2 at Hyperlobby.. waiting and waiting to get organized fightis started.

One of the best things in AH has always been fairly quickly delivered action with friends with very little meaningless waiting.

Sounds fine to me .

Please leave the test up for one week at least , cause I am old and need my sleep during the week

Really this balance thing is way out of hand IMO , do you all think that defending against 12v1 bish is fun ?

alot diffenent in LWO when I left , had to beg some bish to defend on the north part of their map . A big ~~to those that did~~

Bah,
Quit experimenting! Drop EW/MW/LW Orange and go back to the old MA.

I'm wondering if just the "Must capture bases in the 2 other countrys " would be enough to settle down the " one country super hoard /or 2 countrys ganging the smaller country problem ".

as for the 20-40 percent overage in player numbers over the lowest country isnt that bad .. its when the highest country is upwards of 70-100 percent over when it gets bad in the arena .

agreed, i think the trick will be getting a fair figure for the ENY to kick n. perhaps once the numbers reach 120 online, it is activated, and only once the big country has a very large advantage.

i'm sure HT's already got it covered though

When the ~SOB~ (Sons of Bishes) left Bishops to Rooks three (3) years ago the first Bish guy I felt bad about shooting down was Tsunsan. A real nice fellow from japan, not a squadie a bish. I know it's a game but the guilts was bad. Man ! that was 3 threes ago and I still remember it....I'm a sad avacado eh?

Well, with the arena splits I felt I only had one option and that was to disband as of the end of last TOD. Even today I was asked in a private PM "what happened to the ~SOB~. I said I didn't have the heart to tell them what arena or what side to fly on or forsake a couple guys because the cap was on.

I'v just sent some e-mails pre-empting appols if we end up as foes.

Dudes ! Some of these guys came with me from that other sim ffs

I suspect some other squads are headed the same way now:(

Sounds good all round. I just wonder if the ENY thing forcing you to other countries might be awkward if ya disco from a sqaud sortie or something. Anyways to tell if you disco, and let you back as you were prior to a disco?

Funny how all of the whiners so far fail to realize one thing. HTC gave them the chance to solve this, but they whined about "loyalty to a chess piece". "Those who rang up up their rank, boosted their ego's/confidence while steamrolling the opposition."

When numbers were 120 Rooks, 65 Bish and 50 Knights, you chose to steamroll, and vice versa to other countries. Now things have turned for the better.

Noone's squad will "be split up", switch countries and it won't. Chances within an hour or two your "precious chess piece will be available".

Thank you HTC!:aok

Well, this sounds like it's going to be interesting.
