Okay..........

You did this in the Late War or EW/ MW arena?  I am asking because I am seeing an entirely different thing.  Anyway, two passes on the base in Lancasters and nobody was able to get up and challenge you and your Typhoon escort, before your second pass.  I say that was a well put together and executed plan.  You absolutely deserved that field.  
Change the % of town buildings because  :headscratch: no one bothers to check the map to see  :noid what bases are under attack or bother to defend?  :rolleyes:  We might as well change the M4 75 while we are at it, because it does too good of a job destroying buildings.  ;)

With all of the complaints about being too ridiculously easy, I am still hearing from folks how ridiculously fun the settings are.  

There were plenty of people online, but nobody upped at all (LW Orange).  I was fairly surprized by that as well.  I wasn't trying to point out anything other than what CAN be done.  I'm all for the new system, but wouldn't mind seeing it tweaked a bit.

DREDIOCK has it spot on.

I suppose I should learn not to post on internet forums under the influence of irritation. However, the point is the same and many have seen the same problem I have but stated it more calmly.

Problem?

If by problem do you mean that people don't up to defend bases, then complain about bases being taken?

Thats been going on forever.

And if I see that a "undefended" base was taken waaaaaaay off the beaten path of the general population, I look at that as a new front that has just opened, NOT a problem.

I am glad to see that the fights have now spread out over the maps some more.  I DON'T see any problems with the current set-up.

WHERE????

Sure as hell isnt when I log on. I havent noticed on bit of difference in how spread out fights are.

Typically I see one or two hordes from my country attacking one or two bases that are more often then not barely defended, if at all.
While I see a couple hordes from the other countries doing the same damn thing.

Maybe at one base there is a fight and Im finding those few and far between anymore.
Half the time I log on, look at the map and see my decisions as. Horde, or be horded. I'll stay on for about an hour or so then log off out of boredom

But the one thing Im not seeing in any way shape or form.. is a more "spread out" fight

Imho the fights are spread out ALOT more than they were a few weeks ago, and the bulk of the players seem ALOT happier than they were a few weeks ago.

Lookin for a fight? try climbing to 15k or higher, you'll find lots of guys up there lookin for a "fight". :salute

And there are a lot that will fight up there. It's not that it's more noble "down there"...

I had some of my most memorable battles way above 20k. I remember a particular duel that started out at 30k and ending up on the deck 5 mins later.
And by the way, the majority of all deaths I suffered in planes this tour  happened at 20+k... but also my kills :)

I cannot speak to the happier part, but the fights do seem to have spread a bit more.  I was able to find small, medium and large sized fights (at both low and high alts) over the last few nights with no problem.

The settings now allow a side to send 2 guys to every field along the front and expect captures.

The others can be floaters.

If nobody wants to defend the base, anything is possible.

Personally I couldn't care less if a field is taken, as long as I had a good time defending it.

Bases are just as easy to defend as they are to take.
