Author Topic: Your definition of 'Winning" in AH (Read 4250 times)

I've only been flying for a few months now, but I see a lot of talk both in the MA and on the boards about 'winning".

How do others define winning?

Now I need to clarify that I'm much more of a furballer then anything else, as that goes back to my AW days. It always seemed a waste of time to go home while I still had bullets and since I wasn't really dying, if I got clobbered, so what. Combined with my lack of ability, that was usually the case.

That being said, my idea of 'winning' is having good flights/fights with a good wingman. Working with someone else, to keep each other clear and taking down as many as possible before I get chopped is the most fun. That's what I look forward to when I sign on and if I find that during that particular evening, I've won.

Personally I don't get the 'win the reset' bit as from what I've seen, it's always a numbers game.

When folks start complaining that we're not working as a 'team', I don't get it. Once again that seems to be someone really complaining that I'm not playing the game thier way.

My idea of team, is that if you are in trouble, I'm coming in to try and help, even if it's 10 guys chasing one of ours and I'll probably get clobbered anyway. The effort to clear that guy is team. I see that happen all the time when I fly, so I figure I must have pretty good people on my 'team'.

Anyway, I'm just curious as to how others define winning in AH

When everyone's swearing at you, you're winning.

winning means killing the red guy... nothing else matters.

finishing all my beer before passing out is marked as a win!

I consider winning in here is when I manage to beat Silat or any other Nomad to the sheep pens.

Being ranked #1 just means you smell the worst.

The only winning move is not to play.

defeating every attempt the enemy makes against you, without exception.

Surviving, and comming out on top when you should have died.

Having fun playing the way you want to is winning in my book

Being called at cheater is winning too

What Murdr said. When you land a few kills in a shot-up plane after turning with Spits, 38s, etc... who had the advantage, that and just plain having fun with your squaddies. That's winning.
