Stop dropping FHs....

[moot]

If bombers are dedicated to infrastructure, high ENY stuff like 190A-8s are effectively dedicated bomber killers and also mostly unaffected by ENY fluctuations.

[Ciaphas]

I know it's been asked for before but I think it is time to add contrails to the bomber formations, this would also give everyone an idea of what's going on up above the clouds.

[moot]

That would be an elegant solution.

[Ciaphas]

Very true, though I doubt we will see this placed in the game. 

[Erkel]

Unfortunately its the WAY players play the game that causes the problems. To many people and squads make "wining the war" the be all and end all of the game. Until that mentality can be replaced with the mentality that promotes COMBAT first and for most we will have the issues we have....hording, gangs, NOE's HO and run.
 

Uh...so why are you in the MA?  Wouldn't the DA better serve your playing style?

We get a real kick out of sneaking in and capturing bases from players so focused on COMBAT (best described as furballers) that they fail to realize some fun spoilers are wiping out their useless town and sending in troops.

ACTUally that would look awsome

Sneak all you want.

The main complaint throughout this thread is the dropping of FH where a furball is going on.
That is to say no attempt at grabbing the base.

See the difference?

Sure would  

Just imagine the 91st at 25k rolling to yer base, your team mates hypnotized by the contrails coming from our deathstars and then hearing your infrastructure being disabled 1,500 lbs at a time.

Uh, no I don't.  Perhaps there IS an attempt at grabbing the base or soon will be.  Furballers for the most part don't seem to be able to process more information than what it takes to shoot at the plane in front of them.

I still think furballers belong in the DA.

Are you sure about that?

No, because in a game of combat I'd like to see me and a wingman with a second or third element (element = a pair of fighters winging together) flying a fighter sweep. Catching a bombing group with a fighter escort. COMBAT ensues and the be all and end all is the fighters to try and stop the buffs while the buffs and escort fight to clear the skies to continue their mission.

Thats what the game is suppose to be about. Any bozo can drop builds, but can you do it while fighting? 5 guys can kill and grab a base NOE, but can you do it while fighting? In the case of most people playing these days NO they can't. Why? because they have no skill. Why? because it is so much easier to hide in the horde, or under radar avoiding combat.

Ya you get a real kick speeding on the highway, but what if you had the chance to run an alcohol car down a drag strip for a weekend? Same thing, sneak a base....whoopie Earn a base, now thats an accomplishment

That's not a very fair statement. Everyone group of player serves a role in the big picture of the war effort, regardless if they want to admit it or not. Furballers are doing what they best they are keeping a lot of the OP tied up. This is beneficial to those UBER NOE missions, bomber missions (though we want the OP to challenge us in the air at our alt in our playground above the clouds) and in some cases GV missions. But you'll not get many people to admit this...

[Erkel]

Are you sure about that?

I'm "pretty sure".  Classic example to prove my point would be right after a base capture.  How many furballers will stick around to defend it until the town starts repopping?  It's of no interest to them.  They'll just fly off to the next furball.

[moot]

"[not] able to process more information than shooting at the plane in front of them"
and
"[don't care to] stick around to defend it until the town starts repopping"
are different things.

Wow.  You insist on assuming that they have the same goals as the base capture people.
