Chess Piece Loyalty, ENY, the Bish Dominance Problem, and a Suggestion

[1stpar3]

I fly for the 4th country in the Melee arena, it's called Piggyland. Other than that, Pigglyland makes fun with where ever they are at.

I think any player who achieves something remarkable like the most M3 base captures a month or the most kills on Dr7's tank or the most kills on bombers or the most sinking of CV or the most radar towers destroyed a month or the most feilds de-acked or the most bomber kills or the most fighter kills or the most towns white flagged for capture with a tank or the most towns saved with an M3 resupply...are having fun. It takes all of those things to win the war and flip the map ultimately. So it's all fun......

Piggly Wiggly? I used to shop there! Or Rib and Loin? No, thats a BBQ restaurant    4th country....When Pigs FLY Oh right...THEY DO

You forgot THE most important stat of all........Fighter, Kills to Death.......

Forgive my ignorance but the only WW2 Flight sim that I ever  have played has been Aces High.  What other flight sims have 3 sided turf war as driving force.  (This is an honest question), and have they been successful with such an approach other than Aces High?

Not all was 3 sided..........

Sorry, NatCigg, but none of what you referred to was implied, so let me clarify. 

Object repair time could be the same as always been.  If instead of % territory, total amount of damage (however calculated) would be independent of how many times it was repaired.

Flipping a map could have unlimited number of possibilities of how they could   determine map win.  However it is done, win should promote some exposure of players to combat and not hide them like frequently is the case in the resupply by nearly invisible ground vehicles, to undo the cooperative progress of 5 or greater number of opposing forces.*

*The mere reason that I am here wasting 30 minutes of my time reading a bulletin board is, it is preferrable to wasting another 30 minutes waiting outside of town with troops, watching it be taken down and resupplied no less than 3 times.

You cant take away the Win the War aspect of the game. To many it is as important as Zoney bouncing buffs, or one of the many fighter guys who miss the fights.

There are a number of ways to cut back on the "hordes". My guess is that Hitech doesn't think they are enough of an issue to do anything about it. Local ENY, increase in target hardness as captured percentage goes up, removing the M3 supply, changing down times and so on and so on.

Right now with the low numbers evr issue with the game anyone has is amplified. Some times all there are are hordes, those who hate hordes complain. Other times too many guys are furballing and the land grabbers complain. Once the numbers come back up it will be easier to find those kinds of fights/action your looking for be it buffs, GV furballin or land grab, you'll be able to find it in some section of the map. Right now we just dont have enough numbers to support all those different types of action.

Im waiting to see how this Steam thing turns out. IF they hook up and IF it brings in a bunch of players and IF it turns around the game play, Great! I'll upgrade my computer and maybe get VR, but not until I see how it all shakes out.

Don't know about Warbirds and FA, but AW was three-sided from at least 1994 through its demise on Pearl Harbor Day, 2001.  My sense is that AW was three-sided from even before that.

“REMEMBER YOUR GREATNESS

Before you were born,
And were still too tiny for
The human eye to see,
You won the race for life
From among 250 million competitors.
And yet,
How fast you have forgotten
Your strength,
When your very existence
Is proof of your greatness.
You were born a winner,
A warrior,
One who defied the odds
By surviving the most gruesome
Battle of them all.
And now that you are a giant,
Why do you even doubt victory
Against smaller numbers,
And wider margins?
The only walls that exist,
Are those you have placed in your mind.
And whatever obstacles you conceive,
Exist only because you have forgotten
What you have already
Achieved.

Can't recall too many knights complaining when the other two horde them.  It's usually more of a, "OMG there's a fight!" feeling on channel.

Wiley.

I can.   I fly for all three sides and hear the same stuff everywhere: "They're not fighting each other" , "They are ganging us and we have ENY",  "HiTech hates our country"  blah, blah, blah

I do notice it more often on Rooks then I did Knights but you are right, people on all 3 sides cry when both fronts become active....which blows my mind in a combat simulator.

it was 3 sided when I played AW DOS.  WB was 4 sided when I played that game in the late '90s.

You're probably right.  It's likely pretty similar on all sides, the same half dozen guys on each side making noise.  I guess I've tuned out the guys on Knight over time so I barely notice them.

Wiley.

[Zoney]

Unless they always type in caps  all the time of course because what he has to say is so important no one should miss it.

Yep

The one thing Aces High has that the others didn't, is capturable fields....

The field capturing was extremely limited if at all, game depending....
