In mine the very best is finding someone who is willing to fight and not run to ack or run three sectors.

The very worst is the game play currently embodied by two squads, one on the bish team and the other on the knights teams which consists solely of capturing lightly or completely undefended bases for the apparantly sole purpose of obtaining a low score.

I was wondering how other players felt about the game and what keeps them playing or what causes them to want to leave?

The Best:

Flying with friends.

Defending a base for hours with 3-4 guys I never met before.



The Worst:

The way alot of new guys are treated when they ask questions.

Some seem to forget that 1st couple of days when they started.

God help the  poor sap that actually has the nerve to say "Hi Guys, can somebody help me? I,m kinda new at this."

The guy is expecting some sort of friendly response and gets------well, you all know what he gets.  It most certainly is not called common courtesy.


The Very Worst:

Is embodied by only 2 or 3 people on these BBs.( which I consider to be part of the game)

With their incessent and unprovoked name calling and just plain moronic behavior,they will take what WAS an enjoyable,rational thread and turn it into nothing more than a schoolyard brawl.

Best: Any 1v1 2v2 3v3 etc win or lose, having fun with squaddies


Worst: Incessant whining/excuses after you pop someone.....

[NoBaddy]

Best: Finding a fight.

Worst: The capture the flag aspect of the game today.

BTW Storch, the capture monkey squads aren't limited to bish/knit. There is at least one in Rookland also.

The game used to be about capturing fields, not follow the congo line to the furball.

From  last year

Some play the game to fulfill the actual parameters that it was designed for, which is to overcome and conquer bases, and eventually the country, thus winning the war/game.

This is a false assumption.


The game was designed to have fun at different types of combat. Conquering bases is just a means to promote combat and hence fun. But by no means is it more or less justified than going out and just mixing it up.

really?  since I seldom play another team I wouldn't notice but it makes sense that there would be.

I believe there are fairly significant differences between the teams.

I believe that the bish team is populated by possibly the least skilled players, particularly in the air.

I believe the nits and rooks are closer in skills but the nits are basically toolshedders with some exception.

I believe the rooks are horrible base takers but rulers of the air.  I think we also suffer from a collective and mild form of autism.

The Best :  Fighting on any level, even outnumbered sometimes. Winning a 1v1, 2v1 or even 3v1.  Losing to a single good or multiple opponents that make me fly whatever plane i'm in to it's limits.  Even the ground game is fun.

The Worst:  When the arena numbers are low, and i'm chasing a small dar from sector to sector, or trying to catch that 1 red dot in a radar ring that doesn't want to turn around and fight.

Yes we are horible base takers. I love it when we get 30-40 guys up in la's, pony's, spits's, jug's, 110's, b17s and b24, and we hit a base hard. We kill radar, FHs, BHs, and VH but we always forget to bring the goon.

The absolute worst, IMHO: The vapid drivel on 200 that people actually pass off as smack talk these days.

Not too far off in the distant past, one could get in an amusing and sometimes clever exchange of smack talk. Now, the mindless insults and taunts like " I own you" pervade ch 200.  
I don't mind being on the receiving end of a zinger that has some wit to it.  Too often now it's some random insult that one could have read of any AH bathroom wall.
Hint to you wannabe smack talkers:  "You HOtard pickdweeb, DA now!"  is not smack talk, it's a whine about being shot down and anyone with at least 2 functioning synapses in their brain knows it.

[LYNX]

Best = Killing lots of red guys and dispossessing them of their bases.

 Worst = Dive bombing / bailing heavy bombers.  Suiciders and runners.  Those with repetitive moans, hourly for some on 200, about ganged, ho'ed, cherried and any other excuse for getting in to deep....  Not avoiding a potential HO..... Lack of SA and bruised ego.

That's a pretty good reply I think.

ok steve you poopy covered dripping with baby food diaper changing MAAAAAAAA, what's the best part of the game for you?  

[5PointOh]

Hmmm good question:

Best---Good 1vs1 fights, GV battles (not spawn camps but battles), Killing an enemy or getting killed by enemy and then talking and befriending them, new friends ships, common bond between people for a love of historical aviation, 30K bomber missions, two planed fighter sweeps, JU-87s, Attempting to kill CV through ACK wall with TBM, JU-88 and torps. Sneaky ingenious missions

Bad---Score Dweebs, Vulching landing planes, Egotistical in game personas, bushes that roll over tigers, 8 vs 1 fights, one country claiming horde unless its their country hording. 200 banter of HOtard, Rammer.  Extreme alt pilots that orbit around base waiting for one guy to up.  

Other than that, I love this game.  And I am very happy to have talked with many of you.  And for the ones I don't know <>

The best:  Close-in knife fighting against someone who is just a bit better than you are.  These are the sweaty-palms fights that make it worth coming back year after year after year.

The worst:  The map reset "goal."  Winning the war causes what I consider to be the worst behavior for a dogfighting game - vulching and ganging.  Having said that, I recognize that it's also a big draw for a lot of people, so I consider it to be a necessary evil.  I have been most fortunate to find a niche where map resets are not a problem.
