  There was a strategic purpose for it, which was to deny the enemy of the resource.  


:rofl  Judging from your stats you're a regular strategic genius  :rofl  Maybe if Nimitz had moved all the navy to the North Pole during WW2 we could have really showed those Japanese who's boss  :rofl  
Dude, you have proven to me what I've always suspected about the Claim Jumpers. They'll recruit anyone just for the sake of filling up the roster.  :rolleyes: Thanks for the laugh there buddy. You're a dandy  :aok

Furthermore, from a purely business standpoint, we do represent a sizable chunk of revenue every month.

 :rofl ... that is the funniest and most arrogant thing I have read in quite some time on this BBS.

So you think thru that veiled threat that Dale will let you and the CJs run rampant in the MA, doing as you please because you think you "represent a sizable chunk of revenue every month" ... you don't know Dale very well ... and you are overestimating what you think you bring to HTC's bottom line.

If you guys are being jerks and ruining game play to the point that it causes loss of subscribers to a degree that starts to effect his bottom line and/or future bottom line ... you won't even know what hit you.

The arrogance in that one line, along with the behavior described in the various post's in this thread, would only go to show that the described behavior was correct ... I would think the CJ's need to fly below the radar for awhile and keep their noses clean.

But alas, the Claim Jumpers will still be placed on a pedestal by the majority of Rooks.

Mega squads never last here. There have been many over the years that are either gone or just another squad now. You get that many people and ego's collide, people get hurt feelings, etc.. This is especially true if you aren't picky in your recruiting. Not pickin, just saying.

Yup. Remember that LCA thing 4 years ago, also in Rookland?
Steamrolled bases by flattening all bases in a whole sector. Absurd number of players & wings. Created major controversy on CH200, country channel BBS. Declared themselves being "the organized future" of AH2. No more wasting of "resources". Older players simply answered: Been there done that, have seen it before. Others (like me) switched from Rook to Knights or Bish.
The thing lasted maybe half a year or even less... then LCA "movement" fell into the tray of oblivion.

Yeah the Jokers have thinned out a bit from a couple of years ago. Or at least it seems like it anyhow.

You haven't missed the point, and you make a good one, I meant things could be done to discourage switching sides, Like: 

If you switch sides you start at rank zero in the new counrty. Then you can't steel the carriers.
Make the time limit on switching back 3 days (or something long enough to matter, not 1 hour)
(insert your great idea here)


...But they encourage people to switch, so they won't do any of them.


Best idea is to remember you are playing with other people, who may have more or less time then you to play and different aims in finding fun in AH.  Whether you like it or not, you are sharing the playing field with all of us and have some responsibility to respect everyone's desire to have fun.

Its a cartoon aircraft carrier after all.  Who the heck cares if it gets sunk now and then.  Guess what.  The supply is unlimited.  Playing the game that selfishly and wrecking gameplay just because you can, makes you an idiot of the highest order.

I'm lucky right now if I get to fly a couple times a week for an hour or so each time.  I switch to the side where I know I'm going to get shot at.  This is most often the low numbers side.  I could care less about perks, or driving CVs.  I do care about the fight, as last I checked it's why most people play the game.

The topics at hand are 2 that im very interested in.

First, CVs being moved out of the battle......They should be used for 2 things.

-Defensive....Set in a patrol route near acouple of strategic bases so NOE horde missions cant get them easily.

-Offensive....Bringing the fight to the enemy. Cruiser guns on town, Planes hitting strategic targets on/near field(SBs) and light planes for air cover.

The whole idea of sneaking a base by not upping is kinda silly if you have numbers that will help the fight. People complain about losing CVs but really when you bring the cv in sight from the base your kinda going against what all the major sea battles relied on. Why did Midway go the way it went? Because they couldnt find the carriers DUH.



Claim Jumpers.........Eh Eh ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
