I was on last night about 1AM CST.  Went Orange and the Bish were down to 5 fields with very few folks in.  So I went Bish and went looking for a fight.  Couldn't really find one.  Surprised me since there were many more Rooks and Knits.  Finally managed to get one kill before landing and deciding to go Blue.

Funny how it worked out as there were tons of Bish in there, more then either Knit or Rook.  

Not indicting the Bish anymore then Knit or Rook cause the pattern seems to be for folks to go where they have the most countrymen, not where the fight is.

I won't say that we ever change sides due to numbers...that's just one of our principals. We did however change home arena to orange because Knights are generally outnumbered there. I'm sure that will swing like it always has. Last night the Knights certainly had numbers by a slight margin and I agree that most the knights were attacking bish. So we moved to the rook front. We much prefer to follow the big RED dar bar as opposed to fllowing the green one. More should look at it that way. I don't understand why the 2 sides with most numbers seem to gang up on the side with the least!

Just the C-HAWKS approach, or mine anyway.

Pilots looking for easy domination or quick base takes.

I decided to start Country jumping.... whichever side has middle or low numbers, depending on overall situation.  Better perk bonus, cheaper perk rides, easier to find a fight (even if outnumbered), rather than being just one of many chasing a solo plane.  

I did about half a tour steady with each Country, on Blue and Orange, and have seen nothing to rate Country loyalty to any of them.

as prooved by this attempt to tease bish into a 'furball' with just 'dogfighting' that bish gave the usual lame response of hanging in thier base ack sucking up the odd proxy from the few porkers on nits side.




another blatant example of bish fighting only in defence, where they can land or run to ack right away.


at least the rooks usually get a few fighters up in the middle of the sector with the intent to fight, and not just pork our base with great speed.

albeit at 20k.





the 'gang bang' is caused by two things.


1) extremely un-even sides - this is rare

2) lame defence that turns a furball into a horde with no opposition - this is the most likely cause.




people die in the first 2 on 1 they experience and then log or find another fight, or come in at 30k in a 262.  if all the people whined less and rolled planes more, hordes would not exist.

Umm actually last night I played for a abit and we took 3 bish bases in a row then quit,  and a  few of us that took those bases went and fueballed with the Nits. Some of the others kept hitting Nit's bases.

It's not always about base captures, while I like to cap bases and go on missions, I like to furball just as much. Just because we wern't taking nits bases doesn't mean we wern't fighting them. I think Rooks tend to furball more with the Nits because they haven't been trying to do massive base caps at any given time lately.

However seems as of late the Bish and Rook seem to be at each other pretty hard with base capps. So if Rook isn't attacking Bish heavily, it's the Bish hitting the Rooks hard.

Huh? How can anyone in this thread REALLY believe than there is even one iota of difference between the players that play for one make believe country named after a plastic toy over another!

People are people.  Most of them are pretty decent folks when you meet them in real life.

 That's what I used to think.. before I actually flew for other countries.

 You're right. But we're not killing each other in real life. We're doing that in the virtual skies.

I do like imbalance. Most of my time you can find me in the arena where knits are the ganged ones. A steady stream of targets eager to be shot down, delivered right to my base... hmmmm delicious!
I think I never had so much kills in 163s like in current tour...

Time for an Aces High Flashback:

Seven years ago this month was Version 1.0, Patch 3.

Arena balance was an issue discussed on the BBS. :D

i agree.... ive been "loving" it lately fighting against the odds.... however if im unlucky enough to NOT be able to fly in that arena, i have to fly the other which as knits 2:1:1 on everyone else.

if every plane was perked, then the ENY system would work better.... because the costs would get higher and higher

Those scrren shots say three things to me

1) Inbalance in 1 LW arena affect the other. I actually liked HTC's 3 choice method ......change arena, switch side, wait in tower.

2) "When the cats away the mice will play"  You ain't telling me those win backs were hard fought for.  More like off peak base grabbing on what is essential a GV map.

3) Boot was on the other foot for a change Trikky.
