Fugi you and I play two totally different games. Your worthless outside of your element in this game and sadly your mistaken the majority of the time. I have flown with you guys and as I have stated before I am not impressed with you or the squad you fly in. Your a lot of mouth on forums though and decent ACM....
The best thing that could happen to this game is loosing players like you. Forcing a certain someones hand to grab a new player base. I dont think you quite get that "our style of play does not hurt the game we play.... we dont need big numbers and constant furballs to play AH. HTC has HQ up for a reason and we will attack it as needed whenever we want.
Again you speak of things you have no knowledge of.
While running ops one night 11 players and I took 11 bases in just over an hour accounting for over 60 kills and less than 20 deaths, most of them being goons. Not a single NOE, and the HQ wasn't down.
I have played all aspects of this game, DA, scenarios, WWI, all main arenas, all planes, all bombers, and most GVs. I have spawn camped, vulched, HOed, ganged and been ganged. I have dropped strat, and have resupplied strat. I have played this game since tour 21 under only two names, MDJOE and Fugitive. Even with the ridiculous hours you could spend it will still take you years to catch up to the time I have in this game.
In that time I have helped with skins, added content to the trainers page and even worked on a map, tho I never got it to a point to submit it. Map making is a long a tedious project that I just couldn't commit the time to. I also try to fly and fight with some honor. I won't dive bomb with hvy bombers, nor will I turn fight with them. They are also not to be used as a gun platform to vulch a field. I won't bail unless the plane isn't flyable. I try to RTB all flights, but only when I'm out of fuel or bullets.
You have flown with my squad and have been nothing but arrogant and a loud mouth on the radio. So much so that many squelched you before we even got near any combat. You flew for yourself, not the squad and it showed. It's a wonder anyone will fly with you.
It is players like me who have helped to keep HTC afloat. My $15 a month has come in EVERY month for a long time. In that time I have help many players get settled into this game bringing more money for HTC. I doubt very much if I have been the reason that any players have left, but your well on your way to being the root cause of many players canceling their subscriptions, heck, look how many you can cause to log out already!
We do need big numbers, not only for game play, but to keep HTC out of the red so that he can continue to provide the servers, tech, and upgrades to keep this game entertaining. You and you ilk seem to go out of your way to be counter productive to that by trying to drive players away.
If you were taking down the HQ to be tactical I would see a flurry of base captures just after you drop it. First off you guys are never shy about saying how long the HQ is going to be down for. How come we don't see all these bases being captured? In that 15 minute to and hour of the enemy being blind you would thing you could at least match what we did in the old days with 12 guys. My guess is you couldn't care less about "tactics" and are all about being a pain in the azz.
Your attitude is what is going to get you in trouble, I believe you have been warned once already. As for the HQ issues, I'm sure once AH is updated it will be fixed and you'll have to find some other way to get the attention you seem to need.
