Seems like the fight is on Spain!

I suggest putting that pipe down sir... Last Wenesday should have been enough to crush any validity of your arguement. Simply put you can try and downplay us as much as you wish. We aren't going anywhere.

If you don't know how much easier defending is as opposed to attacking then you don't know anything about port battles. Credit where it's due, the British are a capable port battle force, but the gaping hole in the British game is that they can't break down a human defence on a port during the flip. Having the yanks and weirdos in the faction made a work-around for that flaw, and it's one that may well win the map.

So I would say the British don't win attacking port battles because they fight them at silly oh clock, they win them because they are good at them. The thing is that they only actually get to start those battles because they play at silly oh clock.

I find attacking much easier.

The problem with OS grinding is now it doesnt matter if you kill off the counter-grinders , they can still grind it down faster than the PvP kills push it up.

This can be true for some people. Very different sets of tactics and some people are better at attacking... For a collective force, defending is easier as you've got time on your side.

It seems from future patch notes that lowering contention is going to get easier, with introduction of group contention missions (I assume they mean instanced missions you can do at any point of the flip). Not sure how it'll work exactly but I can see it being harder to flip ports in future.

Whatever allows comfort to the Spainish so they can sleep at night is fine by me. Personally I sleep pretty damn good regardless.

Fact remains, you only ever get points from silly o clock port battles. Check the link - it's not like I'm claiming it, it's there in writing. Just a friendly reminder that you're not as good as you think.

Like I said mate... If it makes you feel better about yourself and helps you get through the day... You are right, you are better than us. Now go forth, be fruity and multiply.

But who in British faction is in night PB ? Maybe Aussies ?

If that's the thing, then the solution is as simple as giving Australians their own server, or placing us all (it seems we are not too many in the game) in the same US server.

If that's not, well, Spain will really have to multiply or disappear. Up to FLS.
