Ur post needs to be edited and u should be banned right now. If everyone finally gets the realization that there is no point to posting on this BBS, then it  will vanish and CAP1 will have no place to spam the AvA and may actually show up on our doorsteps with pamphlets. And Ack-Ack may actually have to get his aholedness out of his system in real life which would undoubtedly get him curb stomped and frequent visits to the ICU.

Firstly -your plane's engine sounds like an alarm and makes my ears bleed.

Secondly - blame yourself for trying to defeat 7-9 guys without a single advantage. They looked like they had nothing else to shoot down in that sector until your came along rambo style.

Ill quote a wise man....."I don't know how many it would take, but I know how many they were gunna use..." -Ron White

Debrody and I were winging this morning getting ready for the scenario when we ran into a cluster F#!$ of red guys.....

Watch this video and see....

Now my question's to you are.....Is it necessary to have 7-9 guys jumping one plane? How many should be needed? What makes people think they need to do this? and How can we stop such douchbaggery from happening in this game?
:salute

What it tells me JunkyII is you've come a long way :)

When I read this I had a flashback to a night probably a couple years back now where the PoW were the latest squad on the block and their numbers were large.  A few of us were trying to fight the horde made  up of PoW.  Asking the same question got all kinds of excuses for it and blaming those of us lower and smaller in number for our situation.

Nice to see the progression of a cartoon fighter pilot.  All you can hope is those guys will get there some day too :aok

I agree with...someone who wrote earlier in this post, just turn ON friendly collisions... one thing I do practice  while flying is giving others wing room,  some of you may say "well what about newb evil doers who ....

actually forget I wrote, cause now where gonna get into kill shooter issues , and all that.    and what about only damaging the one doing the colliding? well hows the computer gonna tell who deliberately collided into  who? 


                         so to have friendly collisions, then friendly would have to be able to shoot friendlies.  and NO ONE is gonna go for that. see what this is? a loopty loop. its a game... DAMN

You are assuming they are all trying to kill him for score which is simply not true.  Most of those guys just want to record a kill.
I would be willing to bet that the guys in that horde all have fighter scores in the thousands. 

People don't do this because of score.  If they do, that's why they have a score in the thousands.  People do this because they have nothing else to shoot at, and because they suck.

QFT.

Solution Junky?

What always makes me laugh is the guy that runs from a fight he is starting to lose. Then adjusts just to attack the low P38 that is trying to be nice and is staying out of the fight. You can almost read their mind, 'I know I'm going to go back to the tower, but I want to take someone with me. Maybe he is afk.'

That was kind of a random post you apparently wanted to get out and figured this was the best... anyway, I'll address it.  :)

I can see a situation like you described in a slightly different light.  If I find myself in a situation where I'm beginning to lose the advantage in a fight, and I have the ability to extend from the fight whether to try and regain the advantage or just stay alive, I'll do it.  I'm not worried about score, I enjoy a good fight, and I'm not scared of dying in a cartoon plane, but I also enjoy playing with the objective of bringing my aircraft back home.  So if I'm in a situation where I'm loosing the advantage and there is a second con below me (how the heck and I suppose to know his intentions?)  I'll use my altitude advantage to keep the fight from becoming a 2v1 and possibly extend from that first con.

So your saying Del should jump in on you when you are fighting others. That staying out of the fray means nothing to you.


ummm ok :)


I have another that I see fairly often. Your in a fight with 4 or 5 cons. Every single one of them try to ho you. Finally you shoot back and the one you shot starts going on and on about you hoing.  :rofl

I set a new record for overshoots and then Way plowed into me on the way to the garage. All in all I thought it was pretty funny trying to dodge 7 or 8 aircraft....... Can't let it get on top of ya.
 :D


Ah HUM....I didn't overshoot.  In the crew? Yes.  Overshoot, No.  lol
