Now do a little math of say a 20 person troop drop with 500 people on line.

20 * 8 = 160
160 * 500 = 80000

So suddenly the servers trying to blast out 80000 messages all at once. Debating how to aleviate the bottle neck.

I just don't understand some people - but not a damn thing we can do about it.

Why am I not surprised that the MAWs are involved?

The problem with the MAWs is that that are just too damned many of them. Like lemmings. I never bother to try and remember their after names. To me they are just "MAWs"

Funny when you give a MAW a check six over vox. I say "MAW, check six!" Invariably thirty planes are spiriling to the ground

I beg to differ...if you know anything about AH history, this was first performed by a rook squadron in the early days.

if that was done last night, when the server crashed. then eeveryone in the pic should be banned from AH for a month.
most of the know/knew it would lag the server bad, and HT didnt
like people doing it. They did it on purpose, it should cost them.

Didnt realize the age of that particular picture - but this practice is indeed still going on by various offenders with some regularity. If anything people are getting more creative - I saw a ground based variation on the same theme by some folks in m3's over the weekend.

Ummm, I'm guessing it was a squad?

The MAW's have flown with VMF-323 and MAG-33 for knightland for along time. Its a pleasure to be hooked up with the MAW's in any mission. They are very professional in execution. ~~MAW's!~~

You know I have seen this performed by every country at one time or another. Blaming us for it just lame. I have never been involved with a mass goon drop that didnt involve a reset. In case you dont realize when a reset happens the server chokes and everyone gets booted. As far as the negitive comments about my squad {insert rude comments here} I hate you guys I hate you guys III HHAATTEE YYYOOOUUU GGGUUYYSSS there now I have sunk to your level I feel so soiled.

I dont care what your score is I dont care how good you think you are. Not one of you could hold a candle to anyone in my squad. I dont mean percived skill at this game we play I am talking about the band of brothers that I live with everynight. My freinds my squaddies if you dont like the Marine Air Wing fine that means we are doing our job very well. Did you ever think maybe you are not as popular as you think you are. Maybe your the bigest salamander that has ever soiled the planet I think maybe you need to take a good hard look in the mirror.

Hmm just thought of a way to use mass goon drops. Hmm when ever some country is about to get a reset we up 100 goons and drop over frndly base server crashes no reset for you. Hmm I like it yup gonna do it tonight. I wonder if that would work at a base under mass attack instead of upping fighters for defense just up goons and leave troops on the runway hmm lots of good ideas to pork everyones fun. I wonder if 80000 torpedos would do it or maybe couple 100000 rockets all fired at once. Or 100 lanc forms all droping 18 1000lbs each I wonder if that would pork the server. Anyone else have any ideas on how to make the server crash. If we are gonna be blamed for it we might as well do it. If your gonna do the time might as well commit the crime.

You know I normally have a lot of respect for the rest of the AH comunity. I try to play this game and have fun with respect to the rest of the players and the CM's but I read this board and see so little respect by a few to the rest I think why bother. Then it occurs to me cause I am better than them. Yes I am talking to you!
