Judging by the posts thus far, it is obvious that a fair number of people "really just don't get it".Call it a whine, call it what you want, but Hub hit it spot on. This one guy gets his flippin rocks off ruining other peoples fun. He does it by flying along in the most "gamey", "unrealistic" portion of the game... dive bombing in level bombers. As Hub said, sure, someone could have sat in the 5 inch gun on the cv or ran race tracks around it, but that is a rather bit boring. IMHO, 30 people that are having a good time that is ruined by one individual that is playing along in a way that is one of the most despised aspects of the game is not a good thing. Call me "self centered" and "small minded" for wanting the good of the majority in this case over the will of individual seems to be quite a travesty involving word comphresion. It is this attitude that has so prevailed in the MA's that seems to have ruined all aspects of game play. Nothing better than the timid little runtangs and other tards that game the scroing system as well. The game play was nothing like this seven years ago. Sure, things change, but again; IMHO, the game play has definitely changed for the worse, and we have lost a lot of really good players along the way that were not idiots running around dive bombing stuff in level bombers. It's really sad.
Thats what it was Bodhi, that guy took off in his B-17s with two goals in mind. To sink the CV and to piss you off. Scratch that. His ONLY goal was to piss you off. You guys don't get it. There is a reason there are bombers, bombs, rockets, tanks, M3s and LVTs in the MA. If it were all about the furballers their would just have fighters and nothing else. If all you want to do is furball then take yourselves to the DA. There is a designated mindless furballing section just for you types. There you can spin round and round like a dog chasing his tail for hours and nobody is going to "kill" your fun. However, I find it odd even though there is an arena just for you, you types won't go. I think that has to do with things like "vulch lights", "easy kills", "goon killing", score and having a good amount of CV ack to go run and hide in when someone comes in higher than the rest of the furballers. Here is a clue. It is not YOUR fun, it is not YOUR furball and it is not YOUR arena. It belongs to everyone. That sandbox is pretty big, learn to live with someone coming along and kicking over your sand castle every now and then or move along to a smaller, safer sandbox, tailored for special needs types like the furballers.
This is the kinda crap that takes me off the edge. There was another fight in the Orange last night against the Bish and the rooks. we had a nice fight going and we soon had gained the advantage. we took out the town, got some vulches and we had planned to take the base. we had the goon pilot less then 30 seconds away, when a lonly LGay came out of nowere and took out the Goon. The arguing ensued between the Muppets, that were there, and the other bish members. The argument contined on about not enough people flying over the town when there was about 3 or 4 guys waiting there. calling people whiners and wussies stuid stuff, when it was no ones fault. I don't know how the rooks handle thier way of taking bases, but I did not, and im sure that there were others, that did not appreciate all of the name calling and stupid crap like that.
Rich, don't take it out of context, there was no vulching, no fear of a base capture, just 50 or so guys furballing in between a cv and a base. The tard who dropped the cv, is the type who goes looking for the biggest dar bar on the map so he can feel important when he makes a difference, no matter the cost of the 50 others fun! Of course, the furball instantly ends, and then everyone starts looking for another good fight, but some just log, and then others get dispersed and ends up no other large furballs appear sometimes for days on end.
I'm with Sloehand all the way on this one.Fights and furballs constantly shift for a variety of reasons. This guy didn't kill your fleet just so he could tick you off.
Personally, I think everyone should be able to play the game as they see fit. On the other hand sometimes a little respect to the community can go a long way. If the fight is over the water, plenty of planes are up from both sides, one might just assume that many are having a great time that might last an hour or so. Now weigh that against your 30 seconds of glory, knowing that you may have prevented a cartoon airfield from being taken and the fun of 50 real live people. In this act, though you might prevent a field from being taken, you prove nothing except you can prevent people from taking a plane up. You haven't "won" because you flew better, smarter, or even used some form of strategy. Upping a bomber, and flying it straight into a cv, then pressing a button, doesn't exactly take years of training or experience.
So not one member of the country that owned the CV was trying to capture the field eh? I was accused of ruining one of those "furballs" oncemy response was somthin like "So all them LVT's are just trolling for Salmon" ?There is always another fight, or get in a Chog and protect the carrier
Let us break this down. Why do furballs happen? Well generally someone is trying to capture a base and someone is trying to defend it. I've never ever heard someone say lets take the cv over to 20 and furball!
I think a common sense question to yourself would suffice, "I see 50 planes down there fighting for more than an hour in between a base and a cv, "should I bomb one of them's hangar/cv so as to wipe both darbars from the area?" If your answer is yes, then you are a coward little griefer type who should be in the TA learning to join in the dogfighting fun!
The DA means just that...Dueling
