Well, after taking some time off from the MA's, then returning to find that I am worse (if that's possible) then I was B4. Getting frustrated at the classic HO'ing and picking and all the rest of the classic complaints we have all heard a thousand and one billion times. I came across "Badhorse".
Badhorse was my first real wingie back when we were both still learning to play the game, we flew fighters drove tanks defended and attacked, took bases and lost them landed kills and got killed plenty. Sometimes we would pork fields, bomb rifinerys (cause they burn) or just up something and go get killed. No matter what we did we always had fun. Anyways I went off to learn to be a cartoon fighter pilot and he kept doing what ever the heck you wanna call what it was we used to do.
So earlier tonight we went to midwar, I asked him what he wanted to do and we decided to knock out all the troops and radar at the 4 V-bases threatening a few airbases we had in the area. We upped a couple F6F's and I couldn't beleave I could still hit anything on the ground with a rocket or bomb. we let everyone know the bases were ready for troops and we even took one ourselves, my first capture in a couple years. Was FUN.
Well what i learned about finding the fun that I have been looking for of late is this, You don't have to be a fighter pilot, or bomber or GV'er or furballer or toolshedder, you just have to enjoy what your doing whatever that may be, don't let anyone tell you how to have fun and just go out and have fun. Enjoy the company you keep and don't worry about anyone elses standards for gameplay, play the game to have fun, try something new or in my case something old.
I don't think I have ever had a better time playing this game then when I have been in the company of Badhorse, i have alot of friends in the game and I have fun with all of them doing different things at different times different ways, everyone has a take on the game and do what they enjoy doing, alot of people I know would not be caught dead takeing a base, some really don't like it and others it's just not what furballers do, in any case "S" to everyone that does as they please in the pursuit of fun.
Now I just have to talk Badhorse into switching sides now and again.

Yanks,
Very ironic post indeed. The last few weeks I have found myself just not having any real fun in the game as of late. FSO's have been a blast, but in the MA's I have been really struggling, especially my flying. I think I have hit that point where I just am not really showing any progress fwd, backwards if any really
. I have read about this happening to others, with hopes it would not happen to me. The fun just disappeared.
I fly MW mostly, maybe DA once in a blue moon. I have been spending more time GV'ing and gunning then flying, I'm somewhat ashamed of my flying as of late, I couldn't out turn a b24 with a hurri to save my .....
But last night............... it was fun! I really think I just needed to realize to mix it up as it were, and listen to a fellow squaddie to " just play the game the way I would like to play it"
