Toad ...

Beet is more into the "if-I-screwup-i'm-outta-here-so-I-wont-die-and-I-can-sleep-tonight" ™ airplanes.

The Big Five. P51D, LA7, Spit ix, N1K, TYPH. Easy-peasy. That's why folks fly 'em. That's why you see these planes more than any other. Minimal learning curve. Planes that are fast and turn well (OK, N1K not fast, but an HO "hang-on-the-prop-then-fire-upwards-for-1000-yard-vertical-one-ping-kill wonderplane). Point-and-click planes. You will never see me in any of these planes. Not that I haven't tried some of them in the dim and distant past. But I have never flown a N1K online.

SOB! As for these planes shooting me down a lot, allow me to quote my career stats:

P51D - killed by 133, kills of 389
LA7 - killed by 120, kills of 286.
Spit ix - killed by 134, kills of 439
N1K - killed by 106, kills of 371
TYPH - killed by 68, kills of 174.

That should about sum it up.

Your remarks seem to indicate disorientation - low blood sugar level? Guess it's way past burger time!

i agree it's more how one flys rather than what one flys.

Cool, Beet's postin his stats..

I smell a film coming..

Toad · « **Reply #34 on:** November 02, 2003, 06:26:03 PM »

Beet, your saying that furballing on the deck in a P-51 is Easy-peasy?

Turn fighting on the deck in an La-7 is too easy for you?

Turnfighting a Typh is just no challenge?

Come see me some time.

I'll show you where the fun is. We'll take these three out into some low alt furballs. I'm sure you kill everything in sight in these Easy-peasy planes.

And post a film for us all to watch?

Rude that sounded like a threat. You still preach one tune and play another dont you? Romans 2. No Im not a saint, but Im also not the hypocrite you are.

Voss....

Do you really want to continue this?

Hypocrite? Now that's laughable.....a man who hasn't told the truth in the 12 years I've known him and you call me a hypocrite.
Want to tell the rest of these folks how this hypocrite treated you during those years....why don't you do that?

Stop diggin Voss...especially in front of everyone....how many times will you do this to yourself before you learn?

Beetle....you are really talking from a weak position and you don't realize it....I can speak to the Mustang on your easy list....turnin a pony on the deck is not easy....flying it like a girlscout is. There is a big difference.

Someday you will be tellin us all how silly you were during these present days and how sorry you are that you didn't learn to really fight....such a waste of your online life:)

SOB · « **Reply #37 on:** November 02, 2003, 10:47:05 PM »

LOL, you fly the 109 G2 and you're bagging on the P51d?! You are a sad little clown.

It is curious though, how you've managed to maintain a positive K/D ratio against these super planes.

I can't believe how asinine you guys can be. The P51 was not designed to go "turnin on the deck". For example, in the war in Europe, Germany was being bombed by Allied B17s. But the LW defences were formidable, and B17 losses were so heavy that they were deemed unacceptable. B17 attacks on Germany resumed once adequate fighter cover could be provided, and that came in the form of the P51 Mustang. As far as I know - and I have met real life P51 pilot Punchy Powell - the P51 was not used how you play with it in this game, ie wacking off in the weeds.

But oh, I digress. I'm speaking of WW2. Nothing to do with how you spend your online time. BTW the WW in WW2 does not stand for Weed Wackers. Thought you ought to know that.

Forgive me for seeking realism/immersion. I guess that's hard to understand for someone who only plays half or a third of this game. This post will be one of my shorter ones because I cannot find the words to express my feelings about how far from WW2 realism you guys have gone, and are prepared to go further.

Well sheeat Beet, there's 40 or 50 guys over the hill that KNOW that "realism/immersion" thing...

They got that stuff DOWN. You can argue about rivit's and ballistics and all sorts of neat stuff.. An accurate RPS so you have a real mix of "historical" plane sets. Makes my mouth water.

It's "immersive" flying a sortie and not running into anyone else, and if you do, their nose is bleeding..

That real stuff is great !!

I'm sold..

They have a huge map that hasn't been changed in 2 years. It sucks for fighting but it looks like a REAL one. Just looking at it, I'm brought back to 1944...

It gives me goosebumps..

But you know, they threw out the sandbox..

People play in the sandbox.

A "good" sandbox has options for everyone. And of late, options are being spread about a little more evenly. The sandbox with the addition of fester's map is coming along quite nicely. Alot of fun.

Remember, there are alternatives so real that you can feel the cold in your legs..

You could become a rivit counter..

Hehe, all off topic, but that's OK. It's my thread.

SOB - sad little clown, huh? Did you say little? I'm about 100Kg or 215 of your earth pounds. Still, it's all relative! Muhahahaha

Rude also said "Beetle....you are really talking from a weak position and you don't realize it....I can speak to the Mustang on your easy list....turnin a pony on the deck is not easy....flying it like a girlscout is. There is a big difference." Weakness? Please do enlighten me - what fate is likely to befall me on account of this weakness of position? BTW, I checked my P51 stats from way back what - 1½ years ago when I was new around here. Got a k/d better than 3/1. Guess I must have been flying it like a girl scout. Guess folks like Powell and his Jug equivalent, Francis Gabreski, were just a bunch of girl scouts then? Geeez, which galaxy are you from...

Mr. Toad, I hope you won't be offended if I decline your kind offer. I have as much interest in becoming a weed wacker as I had in the schoolboy game, "suicide chess". Less said the better.

Toodle-Pip

LOL..."little" wasn't referring to your physical size, genius. Back on topic...I've been flying the P47 a bit lately, but I'm afraid I may be flying it incorrectly. If you wouldn't mind, please create a checklist for me on how to fly it...maybe just some Do's and Do Not's. I'd hate to think I was flying it in an ahistorical manner. I mean hell, what would Gabby think?!

beet1e · « **Reply #43 on:** November 03, 2003, 04:15:07 AM »

SOB! The P47 excels at high alt - 20K+. I guess you and your ilk will never come to appreciate that. Good to see you do other things besides being a N1K-dweeb. Sounds like you just want a fire button to pummel, and to make things go BOOM! Oh, and maybe some US Airforce markings somewhere...

Actually, the topic was Map Rotation.

The MA never was and is not intended to recreate WW2.

This is obvious to even the most casual observer. Someday, it may become obvious to you but I doubt it.

I'm not suprised you don't want to fly Easy-peasy aircraft in an extremely challenging manner. I see you agree that it's not the plane, it's how the pilot flies that makes for an "easy-peasy" approach to AH.

From watching you online it's clear you like the safe, cautious no risk approach. It's your pence; if you like Easy-peasy flying, enjoy it all you like. As I said before, I rarely run into your type down in the weeds so it's no factor to my game.

And there are accounts of Mustangs turnfighting on the deck, btw. Designed for it or not, WW2 pilots understood the mission was "to fly and to fight"; you engaged the enemy where you found him.

I had to smile thinking of General Beetle in the briefing room explaining to his pilots "Men, we must only engage the enemy within the design parameters of our aircraft. Don't go pushing the envelope!"

Not to worry though, soon TOD will arrive and you can go try to make folks play your way there, general.
