The way you are

[Todd]

The problem I see is that people jump into those big fights without actually roleplaying... but that's
another problem which you didn't mention in this thread.

Agreed i do see alot of people setting themselves up for a real PHAIL battle.

Like 2 unnamed unclassified Unlawfuls jumping into a already existing battle and ending up making the conflict unRP and then having the whole Lawful faction jump in....just because some people don't know that some battles are "No third Party,"

In any case I think i've gotten upset once because the LNS BCs swarmed me i didn't die but the feeling of no way out didn't suit be cause at that time I hadn't made "friends," to help repel the Lawful onslaught.

In a different light BH was pretty insane being chased and gun down was like nothing i've seen before. I will never have a 4 on 1 with any BH ever again or even a 2v1 those guns know how to shoot and makes me respect the players and respect my defeat. XA, XG are similar but there were times when it was just stupid...30 mins with no presentable guns n armour should have been able to kill me quickly BUT BUT BUT thats what I was mentioning about the efficiency of overwhelming the targets come in. See XG are incredible pilots down right ruthless and bold but their skill went out the door when they all were trying to shoot one harden target. Again I present the importance of strategy, If the other two XG would have ceased and let a one on one fight it would have lasted seconds.

Because One pilot is focused on One Target.

when focused the pilots instincts kick in, (Oh he is doing a right turn every half joust, lets make him get nose distance.)

VS

When multiple pilots instincts kick in differently (Fred.John,Dusty: Oh he is doing a right turn every half joust.... Fred: Move in close hit him with missle, John: Nose distance Dusty: Move in close spray the BAS..erm)

-problem when Fred and Dusty make their move they have changed the settings for John. Too move in close is the generic action we do as pilots and again we do a circle of events that drag out and make good pilots look bad.

Solution- ether one of these pilots feel confident about their load out so anyone would be a match for 1v1 battle.

I can explain more but this isn't really the time or place i just want to show an example.
