Rheinland 2.0

[looqas]

When I started out in April after I had joined Hessians I was very comfortable flying around in Odin. People I met where flying around in VHFs too. RM caps where a very rare sight, so were the BH caps to that matter.

For the past couple of weeks it's been a real madhouse out there. I'm afraid to go out in Odin anymore. It's practically pretty useless except when I see couple of [RM] guys online. Suddenly (I think after RM lifted the ban on BH caps and got more lenient it seems towards the indie RH caps) there has been an explosion of caps on Rheinland. Rheinland military indies in Cruisers and caps. BCs everywhere, GSs with full missile loadouts. It really seems that nobody is flying anything smaller anymore expect RM and new RWK guys.

Just today I and another bomber engaged (or were engaged) inside a very short time, by RH Cruiser, RH BS, BH BC, 3 x BH GS. Just to get 2 bombers (a fighter joined our side later, but got blown away) And yesterday was not so different.

And there was a gentlemen's rule about Vogtland being off-limits for RM and BH. Not to mention our guard system O-54. We got followed by 3 GSs there today. And there has been multiple incidents fights taking place around Vogtland with caps involved on our adversaries part.

I really don't mind about when coming at me in caps, but it's just that the ganging up mentality has been on the rise. It's feeling like the gloves have come off.

The saddest part is that there has been a minimal RP behind all the battles. Or RPing the insults, taking your time knowing that gentlemen's rules would guarantee a fair fight. These rules longer exist. Hessians are not blameless for RP faults, but it's pretty hard to concentrate to your RP with the military, when you are just waiting for those BH guys to show any minute. It's like bees to the honey. There simply have not been time to let the tension build with some good RP. It has become really hectic.

I know the BH have a valid reason to engage now that there's a bounty on our collective heads, but I haven't read a single line informing that "You are going be my lunch-money Hessian!" Nor have I read any contract between the Military and BH to keep the Berlin safe. But come on guys. There really is no need to come after us in Gunships with missileturrets and BCs. This way you kind of force us to fly our bombers all the time. And we are not about to convert to Cruisers, since that would shatter the RP and feel about guerrilla warfare.

What's going on? This has been a bad downward spiral and I'd like to bring it out in the open so we could all discuss it here and go enjoy the game.
