I think that post was appropriate. It's why HT took all the big maps away from us the first time. I'd hate to lose them again for the same reasons. I guess history is doomed to repeat itself. NDIsles, Uterus and Baltic here we come.
BTW, I flew a mission the other night for the first time in at least a year. Somehow it just seemed like it might be fun. I don't know who's squad it was but at least 25-30 planes NOE to a base defended by a single Jug and a single Sherman. I scored the only air to air kill. The base was ours within 2-3 minutes. All I could think was what a waste of time and left for the other side of the map.
As a Bish I can tell you that any and every time I look at the map there's a Bish NOE mission headed somewhere. It is the SOP for the Bish squads/missions.
What's the point? To take a base? Without a fight? To me it seems like a waste of $15/mo. but that's just me. Worse yet it's going to lose us the big maps again.
Nothing's changed. It's back how it was.
History is a funny thing, it changes, and rarely goes back to the way it once was. Now the really funny thing is history seems to repeat itself.
In our squad I probably particape less than any other member in missions. I'm really not much of a real estate guy, but I do like the people that run the squad, and the members. I do get bored when we take bases with no opposition, but I do like defending them when we do take them.
Now one of the geniuses on the boards are going to say "go in at alt. and announce it, that's what my squad does". Well, yes they do. They come in at 15.000 feet and when they hit dar they announce they are ready for a fight. This is when everyone is already down low fighting.
Now the very people that seem to complain I have seen come into a v base with wave after wave of bombers to take a simple v base. In a way they do the same thing but in a different manner. I don't complain about it, I just up at another base and start all over again.
You are right again it may be a waste of your $15.00, but it's not your $15.00. Maybe if someone starts paying my subscription I will play the game their way, but then again maybe not. Coming in at alt. and picking all day long, to me, is a pretty lame way to play the game.
Now y'all have me really confused. Isn't back the way is was what y'all wanted?
Went and did it again, posted my opinion.
