Good! And techically yes, it was a whine.  But it was also a vulch.    ;)   :salute

It wasn't a vulch, nor a "pick" like you first claimed.  You were not attempting to land or take off, just flying around the outer edge of your base using the field ack as cover while defending your base.

My use of the term "pick" was by mistake.  Actually, I was trying to slow down to land or (more likely) ditch.  I was indeed using the field ack to cover me during this time.  Given the large number of red guys over the field I figured my chances of success were very low.  *shrug* It happens....

You can tell Fulcrum is upset when he shortens the name of the person he's fussing at to something ending in Y.   :rofl

No sir.  It's a public response as private ones are frowned upon.  No worries!

I've never claimed otherwise for either, nor will I do so.

 :lol I'm not upset when I do so.   I just figure that is more polite than calling someone I disagree with a "tard".

BTW - Your name doesn't sound right with a "Y" at the end.   :lol

Turning your engine off in mid flight ought to have similar characteristics in AH as it would to RL.

If you need a gamey maneuver to win, I guess you indeed need it.

Sporting nope  :bolt:
They're casting their bait over there, see?

The funny thing is, despite what some players think recently, it doesn't work in AH like they think it does.  It's like the old AH urban myth that trimming full up elevator will make you turn tighter.

Turning off engine in AH doesnt win fights, doesnt even provide the advantage that the goofs who do it think it does.

Otherwise, lame OP.

:lol I try, most of the time, to keep it relatively civil.....but similar to you never claiming to be a good pilot.... I've never claimed to be a saint.

Speaking of people who PMs and shade.  :lol 

Come on Slash(y), you need to come up with a new approach.  Even I don't find that insulting anymore.

And yet, it does work.  Or rather, it does for some who employ it.

and yes this is most definitely a look at me thread

And who are you again?  :lol

Who am I ?  just a player who plays a game with my squadmates we have a great time flying , I fly with respect towards others looking for that good one versus one fight, I keep quiet on 200 like I said I play this game respectfully always have since 2003 ....

you just seem like the typical attention-seeking troll who can't stay in the squad, who gets kicked out of squads blah blah blah ad nauseum  but hey you can keep swimming in your awesome sauce   :aok  honestly I don't even know why I even responded to a troll like you I surely won't be wasting anymore time with that.

Chopping throttle and using some slip will be just as effective in shedding E to force the over shoot, more effective than shutting down the engine and then turning it back on.  It is also a desperation move.

When AH first came out and until it was fixed (around 2001 or so) it was used a lot because there was no penalty to doing it but that was ceased to be when the engine start up was changed to stop such gamey tactics.  Like I said, it's just another myth that only really works in the eye of the beholder.
