We do keep others busy, Even one player commented that he FEARS every time strats fash thinking that it's us.
Dallas, keep on doin' what you're doin' with your squad, but you're doing your squaddies no favors
with regards to respect and credibility in Aces High. Squads naturally gravitate towards doing
in the main, what they're best at; or conversely, the only things they can do.
10 sector HQ runs and driving 6 sectors to a strat complex are things geared towards "beginners".
You've got several very good pilots in your squad and obviously some guys very good at level
bombing. But your direction of them is lacking. You're either oblivious to the fact that most Rooks
in the main arena are either laughin' at you or rolling their eyes in disgust half the time.
You've got the numbers, but you don't have yet, a feel for how to utilize those numbers in a way
which builds respect for your squadron, builds their overall fighting skills and -creates- fun in the
arena.....for all countries.
The first thing you could do in that regard would be to put a stop to knocking down the Bishop and Knight HQs.
It serves no purpose other than to completely suck the fun out of the game for at least 1/3 of the pilots
in Aces High.
You might start off with a herd of bombers with escorts, with the bombers hitting a field/fields from 10K, using
your skilled fighter guys as escorts. This guarantees both the bombers and the escorts a fun time and
actually contributes greatly at an operational and tactical level tool in the war.
I don't watch you guys under a microscope, but in reading forum postings by 49ers and most noticeably
in the Rook country text buffer, I just get the impression that in reality, your herd has very little impact/desire
on "winning the war" or basically doing anything of operational or tactical import which might
actually "contribute" to the Rook war effort. You seem to be gearded mainly towards "griefing" Bishop and Knight
HQs.
As (if) your squadron and pilots get a better "feel" for the game and its player-base, and develop
your skillsets (beyond bombing and 6 or 8 sector GV parades to HQ/Strats), I think you'll eventually
morph into a herd that gains more respect from the Rooks as well as from the Bishops and Knights.
In the interim, well......(shrug)
