Can never find a fight on pizza map!

No matter where you look there are never more than three cons, never lower than 3k, and always 3 sectors away!

NOT!

You did better than I tonight. Just left due to lack of fight. Levi left earlier, RickT was going to log right after me. Saw a bit of chatter on the radio about same . I sure would have loved to drop in on the party you have pictured above. Now if we were to change fester's map for pizza, it would not be such a bad week.

There was a time when I was fairly happy with all the maps.  I really didnt care which one was up.

Then came FesterMA.........

Everything changed.

My interpretation of Fester's map is quite different now. I liked it at first even though I was telling him it sucked (had to balance all that praise he was getting after all) but now I realize how badly it has influenced the player base. Everyone used to whine that the guys that flew the most would always have greater rank. It still isnt really true but it is now very true that in the points category that the guys that fly the most will have  a better chance of putting distance between them and guys that dont.

So, the guys that whined for Festers map the most will have even less chance of ranking (not that they care).

The other side of the coin is perks. Even a noob can rack up massive perks on Festers map. So guys that cant handle a 262 will be using them youll see more tiger tanks and things like that. So I guess what everyone really wants is gamey-ness. Thats not at all the tone I hear the most out of players but there you are.

By the way the fight I took that screenshot from raged for more than three hours and was still up to a light roar when I logged off.

No one got me curval. I dropped in on the A20 killing our M3s and blasted him into the tower before landing my kills.

Obviously you missed the A6M, 190, Typhoon, and A20. What you cant see are the P51s above me and a few 109s and more 190s.

I think its all a matter of attitude in the MA anymore. The fights are there but a lot of clowns insist upon immediate satisfaction and sometimes you just have to make things happen yourself.

This fight was begun by my squadron innitiating a vehicle attack upon a zone field. Rooks didnt want to give it up and the fight that ensued went for the rest of the night and the base exchanged hands back and forth a few times. A great time was had by all who participated.:aok

  Please define "gamey"

  I definatly agree with you as far as at least a slim majority of the player base prefer's "gamey", but  I'm not sure what you mean by gamey-ness?  The amount of time one flies, thereby attaining greater rank/points and flying higher perked aircraft do not (at least in my view) contribute to "gamey".

Too true, MetaTron, and a poignant indication of the direction in which this game is going. I've got loads of screen shots and films on the pizza which show much the same as you have shown. Sometimes you have to fly more than 5 minutes to get there, and that seems to be the sticking point for many.

It's precisely this attitude that makes me have grave doubts about AH2 TOD.

I liked your pearl of wisdom so much that I'm adding it to my sig.
