Some pointers after reading ARA complaints.

(1) After closely watching my radar in HA tile video I count atleast 32 red enemy dots. At worst you were 3 ships down.

(2) With Regards to points, Blacksun members had no problems sending in support tickets to request points. If we could get our BB6's in time, there is no reason you could not have either. Also I might stress, BS declared well before the patch and did not, nor could not have known points would have been an issue. You had all of Thursday, Friday and Saturday to fix your ships, I know I had my Kaiser back on thursday.

(3) The defending fleet has to be ready regardless of the situation, week in week out. When BS held Hamburg for well over a year to get the rental BB5 time and time again events worked against our favour.
(i)We were attacked on the 4th of July and had a terrible turnout but held the Harbour.
(ii)An enemy fleet declared on us with the neutral logo and we didnt know until the Friday we had been declared upon... but we held the harbour.
(iii)Another enemy fleet inflitraited one of our BB accounts for Harbour tile and TK'd 2 CV6's right at the start ... we held the harbour.

(4) ARA brought 5 CV6's all with fighters. Maybe you were afraid of Paratroopers and decided to skip the usual MN bomberwhore, but this should have worked heavily in your favour, better sighting and all.

(5) Unfortunatly it didn't. Im going to be very honest here, your CV's sucked. Poor scouting tactics which might have worked in a GB2 but in a long HA tile battle it was foolish and wasteful. We bled you dry. Just look at my video... I have 50k plane kill creds... and after halfway I was having a hard time finding planes to kill since you were only flying reduced waves.

(6) The assumption that if you had your BB6's this would have easily been a Blacksun defeat number 3 is by no means a conclusion.
HA 1 - was a razer close game, 1 more bind of ammo, 1 more bb6 and Blacksun would have won. It was so desperate you had all your CV6's charge Blacksun to waste ammo. Don't believe me... I have the full HA video on youtube to prove my point.
HA 2 - We had plenty of time but attempted a radically new experiment with Paratroopers to see if it was possible. In the end we shot ourself in the foot and lost time. You played well and some BS members panicked and rushed to an early death. Overall BS BB play was poor and we went back to practise.
HA 3 - Easy push to HA tile due to lack of ARA numbers. In HA tile with well over an hour BS played slow and steady. We countered your sub threat, destroyed your airforce and slowly pushed in for the kill.



In the end you lost, suck it up and move on. I have no ill feeling towards ARA. You guys deserve alot of credit for holding off BS, PMW and other fleets who attacked you. Kudos to you and well done over the last few months.

These are all my opinions not BS.
Enjoy the vids or not :)
