but HEY!  that inverted barrel roll thing works!........




on noobs. :p

Oh, is there a point to this?

You know you're a noob when:
* you are new.
* if you dont know your a noob....yer still a noob.
* if you dont think yer a noob, then ya must be an old timer (jaded and opinionated)
* if you dont want to be a noob, you must show how jaded and opinionated you are.
* if any of this matters to you...yer a noob.

Now, I know this thread started off as kinda fun and humorous...what happened?

  • You type "bingo fuel" on channel one thinking someone would disengage
  • You continually respawn at a field in an attempt to run the enemy out of ammo
  • you get an attack plane to hunt a spawn camper in a Panzer then auger next to him while releasing your ord too low
  • you HO an enemy plane that has 7 friendlies behind it
  • You dive from 10k to get a low goon when there's 2 people about to kill it anyway
  • you think all base captures take 4 hours
  • you chase an enemy into their ack and then blame them because you died
  • you run a P-51 out of fuel without ever firing a shot

(sigh)  i laugh because of all those fights in AW that I disengaged from when my opponent cried "bingo fuel."  letting the defenseless pilot ditch was a sporting thing to do in AW.  here...fat chance.  hehe

Works like a charm for me.  I call it "baiting".  I like to do it against higher Spits and LA7s.  9 times out of 10, the guy will try to pull a lead turn and overshoot in a blackout.  When he wakes up, there I am behind him.

I did that in a ToD event, flying FW190's against B-17s, but without a kill.  We had finished a flight without finding any targets, so we refueled.  As we pulled away to launch again, I knocked a wing tip against the rearm shed much to the chagrin of my squadmates.  Since it was a 1-life event, I wasn't going to out that way so I decided to try and launch my wounded bird.  I crabbed all of the rudder and went full deflection on the stick, careening across the airfield before finally bouncing up into the air.  I retracted gear and managed to climb high enough to find a bomber stream coming over at 20k or so.  I pulled in close but couldn't get a guns solution since the FW would only turn in one direction. As I wobbled around the sky, I got ripped to pieces in the B17's crossfire.  Well, at least I went down in a blaze of glory! :aok

  • the one time you kill fester you type "I JUST KILLED FESTER!" on channel 1
  • You have trouble vulching because you always collide with the parked aircraft
  • you are shot down by a newly spawned plane that hasn't even started to roll yet

*You logon to play and it's dark in the MA(oh wait...that's a game feature)

*You dive on a ground target only to strike the earth like a comet and die(oh wait...that's legit strateegery)

 *When you spawn camp, follow the masses to fields and wait to vulch and sit in a ship gun while planes suicide you so you get the kill credit, all to artificially build up your score so you can show us all how good you are(oh wait...that's just Voss)

  • You chastise someone for "jumping" your Spit 5 from 5k above  in a Hurricane, only to learn you were actually flying a Spit 14
  • You swear that it must have been a flak that blew your plane apart instead of the Hurricane 200 feet away even though there's no Flak in the area
