Jokers Jokers(#1 Base Capture Squad in AH)

[BigR]

These problems would go away if training was pushed in a big way. Most people travel in hordes because they are sick of dying and instead of putting the effort in to get good, they surround themselves with others.

The mentality of the average player has morphed in the last few years. We need to reverse this trend.

Squads in AHII is showing 3 Members. Gastropods have 1.

Ok, that's 200% more 

Whohoo!  PJay must have reactivated his account.  We just grew 50%.

Am I the only one that hasn't really gained anything from this thread?

Not at all.  I was at least expecting another real estate group come in and start purse fighting about who deserves what title

Dude, I've posted in here many times that the scoring system is a Joke, I've simply proved it time and time again. So whats your real point?

Dude, simply that the scoring system in several aspects promotes avoiding fights. In bombers, somewhat in GVs/pts, and somewhat in Attack mode. Couldn't that be construed as detrimental to the game and weren't you concerned about things deemed detrimental.  

Let me make my case here with bombers. In tour 108 the top 10 overall ranked guys had 73 kills in bombers total. Now 4 of those players had no kills and 1 person had 56 kills ( that individual). So removing the pilot with 56 kills you have 9 guys with 17 kills. Which by the way surprised me since I thought it would be even lower than that. Now aren't they trying to avoid fights in bombers?! And then wouldn't that be detrimental to the spirit of the game as so many have said. For as long as I have been playing this has been the case and hordes have been the case and yet the game continues to grow. 

On a personal level I don't give a rat's behind how some one plays. If scoring is your thing than by all means do that. I don't care about hoers, pickers, vulchers, hordes, noes, etc. I play the way I enjoy and I honestly want others to play the way they enjoy. I've done it all and with out regret.

Does Jokers jokers accept 100% applications to the squad or do they have a screening process at all?

Since when is running in a huge pack any special tactic which should be lauded?.... For this reason, my view on them is negative. I haven't seen any signs of class on 200 either for that matter. I don't talk there but I observe and only really give wtgs/salutes.

If you want to earn my respect, participate in the squad duelling ladder and show everyone some proper wingman tactics and individual skill.

Until then, don't be surprised that the feedback you get is in general negative.

i've been though several online flight sims over the years(AW3,WB,EAW) and nothing comes close to Aces High.And it has been that way for many years.You fly with guys/gals,pass through several squads & you stop,look around at the friends that are still in orange off your left wing.After Busher's Hornets merged with Jokers,it went from the point of stagnation(& leaving the game) to a new level of enthusiasm and wanting to log on to see who's on.

From my perspective Jokers Jokers has to be THE best base capture squad in AH history.That's what we do..that and get the nme's panties tied into knots.Thus we become the target of individual attacks on the BBS..Which is fine(comes with the territory).



At the core of this migration of excellent people/pilots to our squad,is our XO Joker.An excellent leader(& recruiter)..the tamer of squeakers(you know who you are)..And a pure pleasure to fly with(HT should pay this guy..then Joker gives us a cut $)

These are the reasons I fly now more than ever..

These are the reasons we dominate the MA in base captures...Our tactics(eg.smash & grab) were perfected by us and now widely copied.We have some excellant map readers too which always helps.

I challenge any squad to post a role call of squaddies that you think compares to ours.(base captures & MA dominance)

This cohesion and co-operative teamwork of these fine pilots is only made possible by one person..

JOKER 

Your squad let you post something like this?  As in, your CO and XO haven't thrown you out to pasture yet for posting this?

And, agreed, whoever posted that your tactics are detrimental to gameplay.  Whilst you may think it fun NOT to fight a base into submission, others do.  Your squad generally doesn't fight at a base... you fly over NOE, drop the town in 2 passes and drop the troops, while vulching those that up.  How you find this to be fun.... I'll never understand.  When you end up finding a fight...... you move on to another, less defended base.  WOOOHOOO.  Congrats to you.

While some of your individuals in the squad are a blast to fight one on one.... big  to you guys, the smash and grab tactic you refer to as "yours" was in place in Air Warrior squads 15 years ago or more.

WOW THANKS 4 INCLUDING ME LOIN.................

[Banshee7]

Not at all.  I was at least expecting another real estate group come in and start purse fighting about who deserves what title 

Glad we can agree on something    And I apologize for my actions in the past 

[awrabbit]

When you scream "look at me" in the public square, you surrender your right to be picky about the quality of attention you'll get in response.  Positive posts my ***...It could have been a positive post, but the self-inflating BS pretty much canceled out the positives.

I totally agree !

Uhhhh..... whats a score ? can I get it if I push enter  three times real fast ? oh I forgot ... I do that when I want to fire my turbo guns. right ? 

Now pass the popcorn

Does Jokers jokers accept 100% applications to the squad or do they have a screening process at all? 

well i have booted a number of people but i hardly think my general practice of how we screen squadies is any real business of yours' actually you might be surprised that our process is more stringent than most, albeit maybe not the same fashion that you would screen.

[moot]

Cmon Joker, give us the juicy details...  Do they have to pass SirLoin's ballerina test, or just divine chicken bones that ghi tosses on the floor?

[oTRALFZo]

<<<waiting for the day HTC puts the "Top base taking rank" on the homepage. I would sit back and watch the witchhunts on the BBS when they whine about having shade accounts to take feilds

[SmokinLoon]

The reason people gun for the Jr's is not because you/they are good, it is because you annoy the Hell out of them with the 30+ person hordes.  That isnt "skill" in teh least bit.  That is a Soviet style of attack and "skill" has very little to do with it.

But... you guys keep believing what you want.  If this is the only place in your life that you mean anything then hey... have at it.

I was just asking.  The bigger a squad gets, obviously the talent pool gets thin quick.
