You ever wonder why or how you run into a wall of red when flying across the middle over and over. You think to yourself , I didn't see any chat but they are all together, every time? and from all different squads. I try to organize but I see one guy doing loops.over by the mountain, another one tanking up at our base and heading out, another guy just parked over on the side for the last 10 minutes and the one guy that flies sorta with me is 0-12 and is just a bullet sponge.. This doesn't happen all the time but it seems to happen enough to notice, at least I seem to. And people ask what's the benefit of being in a squad, lol. I posted this on a whim to see if I was just crazy or if others have had similar thoughts. This is not something that needs fixed or could.be, but I just thought it was an interesting observation. Love this game but boy can it beat you up some times.

I just hate the reds.

Since the beginning of this game I never had any problem with a blue.

I do not know if anybody noticed that, but often the reds are taking the grade, squad and name of an ancient blue pal killed in a precedent game.

You are not crazy and you are not alone.

Last nigth I see 3 planes coming in deep bombing in a perfect formation, one stay for camping and the others go, but when I shoot down the camper the other red turn to fight me, and the third plane go. This is a big organization, and the three planes was d5

Today I saw the "red wall", flight of 4, coming towards me and my only teammate heading east over the mountain. I guess he didn't want to watch me get killed and them win with an array of well placed bombs. (Exactly the result, by the way) I think I died 3 times within 50 yards of the runway and subsequently lost.. They were organized alright. Happens all the time. Kinda makes it fun. It seems if people would just think a little and not, say, kill a tank mid-field when you know there are two bombers ahead of you (worse, 1 bomber and its usually me) and all you accomplish is getting another defender back to base to attack your blue incoming bombers... And you type "leave the tank" only to see it destroyed... Ziza that sounds like a well organized red team there. Maybe there are someplace else on chat? Like radio silence type of deal?

You have to be lucky to join good pilots. If i get all marshals and all tier 4-5 planes, flying is always organized. But when I join a team of wing commanders, they always seem to get shot straight away, take tank at BLUE BASE, drive 3/4 to red base just to get killed lol. It all depends on the team you join. It also helps to make an extra turn after takeoff when you notice two blues are taking off from runway.

LOL!!! but sometimes even blues kill me straight after takeoff lol. Sometimes same blue does that 10 times to me before he gets banned. Another problem with 2 bombs upgrade, a traitor can now get 4 hangars in one time.

Last time I saw you on the red side you got your wingmates pretty organized enough to play mind games with me and the folks on my side and win. Fun and interesting BTC game with you

Lol funny thread

Me, ive actully tried to use some techniques to beat the opposing team..amd the best strategy I could think of really is just knowing ur teams and who ur fighting against...and I dont mean dropping and getting into a turn fight because u know ur plane is gonna win every time -_-

I mean like if u happen to be flying with a guy on ur team whos a bigger target than u, than use it against ur enemies....if u know out of the two thatbthe reds gonna shoot at him first than get lower, higher or a little on the side and try to cut the enemy before ur wing man gets shot down....

another thing is if ur in the line of fire and u got three blues shooting at one reds, than dont risk being shot down...just dive down, loop and hope ur teams shoots the red down before u he gets u....

these r just a few of the techniques ive developed and used and in my personal opinion it works pretty well....with a good team...I can usually get to the entrance of the base if not all the way....

JUST KNOW WHO UR PLAYING WITH and I hope this helps.....

on a side note....now I have to develop a counter incase anyone uses this on me o.o....ill be watching yall

Thanks Robert, that was a fun game as I recall. Its always more fun for me when a team works together to "outwit" the other side. If you think about it "team play" is probably the most underutilized aspect of this game. Otherwise you may as well just grab any old console game and play that.. they are nowhere near as fun to me.

I try to get a strategy going even if I am the only one following it. On more than one occasion I will lead one or two reds away from their base in an attempt to allow the blues a clear and unopposed line to the target. Yes, I normally get shot down in that case but really a bombing game is more about the team than individual stats to me.

Arrgh! Screwed up the quote block! LOL
