What is the deal with unbalanced teams?

Soon you'll have a good selection of players to fly with and you will not have to worry about un-even teams.

We could have some fun with this.

Maybe we should set up a forum game night for Wed? Maybe 9:30 EST?
Strike, 20 minutes, 1200 tickets, realistic setting, unlimited loadout.
If we could get a set number of people, we could agree that each team must have 1/3 of the team in full sized bombers. Round up if we get 8 man teams, each to have 3 full sized bombers. Rest of the team brings whatever.
Options:
1)allow B-17's and jets
2)disallow B-17's and jets.
We can manually balance teams in the lobby. When your team is set up, keep going back with that team the rest of the night and set up your private party to stay together. When back in the lobby, go Alpha or Bravo with your teammates. That should keep things moving along nicely. We could even play each map twice, alternating sides to keep it all even.

**NO private parties that don't include your entire team. MUST have comms and a voice you are willing to use to participate.

What say you all?

You should create a new topic to set up regular games with forum goers for both xbox and ps3 where people can set up games, preferably a game for NA and EU due to time zones. l would do it myself but it would be weird since l don't have the game yet.

This is one of those questions that will have no effect on anything whatsoever (no offense). I think 90% of the people that actually visit this forum and will read your post are the players that love to fly and dogfight in an honest way. If you want to get to the crashers, leavers, etc. you'll have to find some other way I'm afraid.

On Xbox just give the player who is a douchebag a bad review. That way with any luck you wont run in to him/her again. I had one last night who was a total planet. He was talking to someone at his location but his mic was live so anyone could hear it. He joined the strike game I was waiting in. It was 2v1 and I needed another player for the team and he was it. But with all us ticked and ready to go with our teams already set, he then goes and selects the OTHER team and screws the game up and it was 3v1.

I quit right away, since Im not going to take on 3 players solo.

Yeah, I know. It was more of a rant anyways and not much I can do about it except play with a group of like minded people. It just pissed me off to get into what looked like a good game and then one guy joins, picks the B-17 and then 5 other ppl immediately join his team. The host (who also joins the B17) then starts the match. I got a private note that it sounds as if the team was boosting to all get the B17 and I shouldve checked the timer. There needs to be some kind of option for balanced teams. Good match yesterday Searph, as I noticed we tangled a bit yesterday.
