Absurd....lets never change anything for fear of "where will it end??????"....these forums have become quite a kakistocracy.  It will end when the suggestions stop yielding more fights and more fun.  Hmmm...tough concept to follow.

For those who don't know.

http://www.answers.com/topic/kakistocracy

So we want a set up that fights never end & the furballs will last for ever a knock down head to head battle that will be the ultimate fight :aok If only a few things could change to make that happen :headscratch: It has been tried before you know a concept that was even far more reaching than the small change that Junky suggested & the two of you agree with.

In another post you mentioned I make no argument for my negativity & offer no ideas. Well I think I have played a tad longer than either of you to the best of my knowledge & was present when this part of the game came into being. In theory not a bad idea how ever It didn't quite work out.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,193413.0.html

Now if people were to go back through the forums & do some research :old: They would know not to ask for something that would end up like a famous Thomas Jefferson quote.

All sarcasm and hate aside...sometimes history and time in the game causes folks to be a little myopic.  One way to test the efficacy of Junky's theory is to get on range and talk during a fight...it happened last night and the fight lasted for quite a while (not a particularly good night for a test because it was TT).  The bomber barons hit their targets the fighter folks fought their fights and the GV's blew the hell out of the red guys and all the while leaving the FH up.  I see it as talking to the other players around you on a case-by-base situation and if they don't want to do it, move to another base or join in...if they do want to do it, hang on to your cartoon flight suit and fake leather cap because its a ton of fun.

Lyric...I don't doubt your time-in-game...what I doubt is some folks willingness to try different things because "its been tried before".  That = FAIL, IMHO  :salute

They got the FHs in TT last night. They just waited for Junky to leave I guess. Bustr and I were killing cons furballing in B25Hs and A20s. Bomber air combat  :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

It would be good form at this stage.

I guess I agree on the purpose of the game and also acknowledge that locally dropping an FH screws up the low-alt furball at the base but I'm not in agreement that this is necessarily bad for combat since I usually prefer to get some alt before combat anyway and would likely be flying in  from a standoff base. Taking off from a capped base doesn't work too well.

Besides, the whole thing is a bit logically inconsistent - let combat reign until it gores my pet ox. I'm pretty sure many of the bomber pilots aren't all that good at choosing what they drop anyway.

Just enjoy the Hobbesian jungle, say I. Revel in the chaos. Become a rubble rat.

The only thing that needs to be adjusted quite frankly is you.

:aok

Junky et al...your problem is that you have no developed concept of defensive play...allow me to enlighten you: :old:

Last night the BoPs had our squad night :cheers:...rooks were not really opposing us so we took 5 rook bases fairly quickly.  We were running another mission and I noticed on squad ch were Ronin and Thatguy (members of the Flying Squirrels).  The reason they stood out was that I had killed both of them during the last base take.  I queried why they were now bish and in my mission :noid and they responded..."because you guys seemed to be having fun" :banana:.  Great Answer!!!!  So we invited them to hang out with us for the rest of the night.   :airplane:

The rooks began fighting back and counterattacking. :joystick:  Nice!  I spottted a large dar bar upping from a nearby rook field and called the squad to launch light fiters :airplane: and head in that direction.  About 10 of us ran into 8 sets of rook buffs and escorts trying to shut down a81.  We got most of them but unfortunately they eventually knocked down our fiter hangers :(.  I was still up and saw a base north of us temporarily pop a darbar that disappeared.  I headed over there and found 4 sets of noe buffs heading to our base. :t  My boys promptly upped b25s and il2s headed north :airplane: and engaged the noe buffs allowing our fhs to recover.  The few of us left in fiters cruised looking for goons.  Finally fhs popped and we continued the night repelling attacks.

Tons of fun...it was alot of fun setting up attack passes on the buff formations.  I hope Hitech doesnt change a thing.  PREVENTING them from dropping fiter hangers was part of the complicated defense that we had to arrange.  Keeping guys at different alts and with different capability planes required some PLANNING and thoughtfullness on our part.  Nice Nice Nice!

I hope Hitech never feels the need to treat us like ADHD teenagers but continues to allow us to play this game like adults! :aok

With all due respect, no one is asking HiTech to change anything.  I believe, and Junky feel free to correct me, this is about gathering some momentum for style-of-play changes of players who read this thread.  I know I don't want anything changed in the game...this is just another way to look at the fight, perpetuate it and why the fight can go away so quickly.  He's trying to convince folks to give another method a shot....anyone who sees it differently should ask him.  It appears we have a ton of mind-readers here...any one of the mind-readers wanna go to Vegas with me?  You'll be able to buy HTC when we get back...I promise.

Changeup

PS - I am fairly certain that Junky and I have a pretty well-developed sense of defensive play...although I don't see your example of enlightenment littered with defensive tactics that are particularly novel.  Recruit some buds, hit some buffs, wait for the FH to pop and cruise for goons...no offense but I don't feel enlightened.  You would have probably had more fun if they wouldn't have dropped your FH which I believe is the point of this thread!  :rofl :rofl :rofl :salute

Trust me, I will allow you to imbibe all you like AFTER we get done with the dealers at the blackjack tables.  I just want you to tell me what their hole card is right after their eyes tell their tiny-little minds what it is.  It won't take long...can you hold off on the cocktails until we hammer them out of ton of cash?  Please?....
