Yup.  My advice, just skip to the ending.

thats about the only problem I could see with it, reporting missions or cv locations etc. etc.

If it helps the timid crap in the Arenas right now, I'm all for it.  If it takes a squad to START a good fight, DO IT!

One day when we all finally see the light and become CJ's we will all be one country and pwn bases w/o opposition, never switch sides and fly off into a rainbow draped sunset.

Jump sides and report everything on 200, CV locs, Mission locs. Hell, i would. Why? cause i dont care and its fun to feed off the whines.
Same reason i ghost people out on Americas Army :). Just to see the tears of butt hurtness. Yes hurtness is a word now.

Heh.... somebody should switch sides and keep reporting everything. I mean EVERYTHING.

"There's a P-51. Now there's a Spit. He's got a brown skin. The pony is flying higher. The spit is moving away. One of my guys on range said he needs help. I'm moving in to help him. He's dead. I'm not with them, I'm helping you. Don't shoot at me, please! Crap, I said don't shoot me! Hold on I'll be back there in a minute to help you out some more...."

Forget that just use squad vox ....it has no barriers and doesnt know sides ...or just tune your squadie and boom connection to your pals. I mean... HT allows for spying/cross country comms.... or we wouldnt have these avenues of communacation ... right?
Okay..Add 2 Country's at once, Australia and France next plane update Add ...CAC Boomerang and the Dewoitine D.520

The obvious and best solution is to simply run missions that have a fart's chance in the wind of winning a fight.

You want that field over there? Bring some escorts. Dedicate folks to attack, other folks to supress, other folks to escort, etc.

THESE missions, properly designed and fun to play, are one of the many joys of Aces High.

The "misshuns" that sneak around behind enemy lines 500mi from the nearest fight just to sneak a field, and they fall to pieces and auger/die/runaway at the first sight of a defender?

They don't deserve to get away with it IMO.

You see, the one you normally encounter in the MA can only avoid a fight. The one I suggested actually WINS the fight, and accomplishes its goal.

It's millions of times more gratifying.

Well, the humor would be a non-squeaker would do it, in an ironic way.

But, you're right... it'd drown in a sea of SSDD  :D

And once again, we find that some people just can't grasp the difference between "socially acceptable behavior" and "what I can get away with."   :huh

Do you guys also stiff waiters for no good reason other than being cheap, deliberately give bad directions to strangers requesting your help, or refuse to give up your seat on the subway to a 90-year-old grandma with a walker? There are no rules against those things either. Obviously it's okay to do them because if it weren't, they'd be illegal. And since your like-minded friends do the same things, they can't be socially unacceptable!

"Oh, but it's just a game." Sure... and it's still possible to be rude, obnoxious, and a bad sport in a game. Just because it's a game doesn't mean there aren't real people playing it.

As to the original question: I don't see any reason why anyone would object to squads splitting up between countries. But there are cheesy things you can do that way that you can't do, or can't do as easily, without squadmates on another side - like playing "I'll let you shoot down my buffs now let me shoot down yours so we both pad our fighter scores". Don't know of any rule against that, but it's cheesy and extremely unsportsmanlike. As is trying to sabotage other players on the team you're currently playing for because they don't choose to play like you think everyone ought to play. But I think we've been there already (about 600 times).   :rolleyes:
