I have always disagreed with this logic. If you want to draw players away from the active front why not come into the rear base with alt and light up dar so they can all see where you are? I can assure you that will draw far more players that an NOE mission where all your going to get is vulched if you try to defend.

Be honest with us. I've heard this from many a player including veteran former squadies. the only reason for NOE is:

1. Take the base with no or limited resistance.
2. Drop hangers and ack without resistance in support of 1.
3. Setup the vulch fest.

Thing is, when the opposition does come up and the fight is on, to many times I have heard "This is a bust, lets go somewhere else". How does that help the other front being hoarded?

I disagree... Vulching is limited due to the speed of the attack.
Take the base quickly... ABSOLUTELY
Minimal resistance... Ya Sure YouBetcha

If a NOE attack is performed correctly there will not be enough time for many to up... They will up from adjacent bases to squash the "beach head" before it gets bigger.

The desired result comes AFTER the rear area base is captured, where the focus becomes re-taking the base and not taking our frontline bases.

lol, how do you read that? All I am saying is that the risk of an NOE in real life was greater than the risk of being a spy.

Leviathn, the CO of the Blue Knights used to make me switch sides so he could voulch me and patch his scor.

Just sayin.

All the references to real life cause me to think, if an island or base can be taken by low bombers(NOE) and escorts or even some low(NOE)38's or 47's to gain a point of strategic necessity. Does it matter it it pisses off the defenders? No, not really. Look at Pearl Harbor. Did the US run the the forums to complain? No, no we didn't. Did we get our collective crap together, and start to organize an offense that was effective to win the war. Even here, we are here to win the war. Not score potato, gain perks, or boast about who gets their name on the index page to HTC. Those are bonuses. I've never played as anything but a rook, but flying with the JUGS, I fly with pilots from other countries, and it is good. There are a lot of good people that just want to play, let them.

Completely different situation. The AvA at the time was running their ongoing "war" where people were encouraged to pick a side and stay on it for the duration.

Normally, the AvA strongly encourages side switching to even the sides (and better the fights).

Just back from EW arena. 5-6 Bish and Knights on, attacking Rookland with only 1 noob defending (or better: sitting there). I was Knight at that time from earlier today, so I switched to Rook, after announcing it on CH1. Of course I was more or less called a lamer from some players on both sides happily battling buildings...

That's too bad.

Not sure what that has to do with my point about the Axis vs. Allies arena, though?

Perhaps you quoted the wrong person? Or am I missing a subtle point?

I'm not sure what shuff is talking about, the 80th are very loyal to one country. If you aren't on one country all the time, then you don't have team spirit. That's what causes our team to lose the war, and if you lose the war you aren't having fun. Most of the war losing is due to furballers, who are the worst things to ever happen in the game, completely ruined it IMO.

It's very subtle...

It's 5 am here and I merely hit "quote" instead of "reply"

And Mensa, did you recently inherit a hook factory?

I was wondering.

First, I didn't take the time to read each and every reply in this discussion.
But, it's my opinion that if Hitech did not wish for any NOE factor in the game, he would have removed it years ago, or not included it in the program in the first place.

Dont mind people switching sides, Hell i do it as well to even out the balence.
Just don't like people who switch then try to tell where the CV from there previous country is. have had to more than once to tell people to just keep it to them selves as it's in bad taste

well i hate to burst your bubble, but its NOT about winning the war, its about AIR COMBAT, and furballing is the backbone of that air combat,
in any case the game is different to different people and the main objective is to have fun, furballing to me is FUN its the only FUN.

but who em i to say how anyone else should play there game, except have fun.

~~to all you AHers~~
