How to stop hordes?

Quite True!!!

It appears that the latest changes to the game have forced countries to work together more... not less. There were whines about the base sneaks and then the changes were made to make it tougher and more people fly in missions now. Now your whining to push it back the other way.

Make up your mind already.

Or better yet take your horde and fight their. Most like the path of least resistance and any concerted force will break it.

Last night, Titanic Tuesday, a horde on horde fight took place at A145.  A friendly cv off shore of the horded base allowed the defender horde to get up after the base had been flattened.  A hostile cv showed up to allow the attacking horde to quickly replenish.

Both sides kept at it for a good thirty minutes. And it was the most fun I had in the MA in a long while.

No whine.  The best fights are those in which the outcome is not certain.  Twenty five planes circling a downed field isn't really suspenseful.

This thread has already gone 2 pages past the definitive answer!   Scotch seems to have said it all on page 1.

According to wikipedia, you need Night Elf Hunters, Dwarf Warriors, Human Paladins and an assortment of Priests and Rogues to stop the Horde.

Its simple really. 

Hit them early, often, and hard.

Before new horde 'setting system' you had another option, taking some small vh base such that enemy splits their force.


 


p.s.:

P38 has a decednt climb rate     - only if you dive from high alt and return back   ... or not?

But if you ain't a SAPPER, you'll never pull out of the dive..........

 dunno how ya got to the pee38 from a horde post......but it does indeed climb like a homesick angel.  


and the dar is still expanded in mw.....and there are great fights in there over bases. we've taken bases with decent fights, we've snuck  one or two(was a good fight ya put up zoom. :-) )

It also made it much more difficult for those with lessor numbers that want to defend by attacking (which is always the best solution)...

I must disagree with this. There are times when attacking will just get a hoard to up in defense, and then they will say "hey, lets go take A*** since we already got the hoard up". Usually it IS best to defend through porking ord, and troops, and I think that many are too timid or slow to go on the offensive.

For example, Limbo0 and I were attacking A1 from A4. We were the only planes past the radar ring, yet alone the sector line, even when we had 1-2 planes coming over to A4 every 10 minutes or so. As soon as we got the knits attention and drew their planes lower, THEN everyone came NEAR A1. No one seemed to be willing to get their hands dirty.

As I said above, no one wants to get their hands dirty and fight. They want to avoid fights by sneaking undefended bases or by smashing the defenders with a 10-1 numbers advantage.
