So I've read through another fluffs vs Strat thread ..... Heres my take on it.

First before anyone has to go look I'll put my hand up to being in Lazs words " a talentless toolshed battler".  Been playing nearly 4 years and only been under 1000 rank once I think.

Ok so I'm just a bloke who plays an online game for fun and isn't that good at it but hey no-one has seemed to care.

Now we appear to be having an elite gruop of "fighter aces" who want to set themselves above all others.

And as usual it comes out in these Strat threads.

Lazs' gesture to politcal correctness:-

muck and lepaul... it is u who are advocating animosity between the fighters and the fluffers not I..


Well lets see if that holds true through the same thread.

6.…..and I can't imagine what type would enjoy them but….
7.…..talentless mouse weilder managed to milkrun all the hangers……
8. the furballers could ignore the strat guys if they didn't care who won the war and the HTC Hawiian vaction that goes along with that. those who wished to win the war could ignore the furballers areas and battle toolsheds or like minded "chessmasters of the sky" much backslapping and "we kicked your butt" BB posts could be generated.
9. there are only two sides.. anyone who kills toolsheds and those that fight other players.


Ah I seee :rolleyes:

And then the add ons e.g.

From Toad :-
Lotta truth here for the strat guys to try to accept, except they never seem to "get it".


The players in this game are being divided by this crap and I personally am getting sick of it. Just because your chosen style of play is dogfighting does not give the moral high ground to call other people "sad" and "talentless".  What kind of self obsessed person spews this crap ??

Let me remind people of something on the front HTC page
Quote
Advanced flight modeling of over 50 different aircraft from 6 countries.  Fighter, bomber, attack, cargo, carrier, and even jet aircraft are all represented.
A wide variety of combat options lets you man tanks, halftracks, flakpanzers, amtracks, amtanks, PT boats, destroyers, cruisers, carriers, coastal batteries, and anti-aircraft guns.
A comprehensive mission planner lets you organize or join other players to accomplish strategic goals.


Thats what I'm looking for and what I pay my subscription for - not pure one on one dogfighting - a full strategic GAME involving all players in the arena based heavily on air combat and power.  I believe there are ways to do it which I've set out before in previous threads so that you can log in for an hour and have fun. At the moment however the elite cuacus seem to have the ear of HTC and the main arena IMHO is being steered toward the DA style.

HTC need to make some kind of renewed statement on which way this game is going to go - especially in view of AH2 now coming to fruition and how that game is going to compare to the current game.  

There are thousands of players registered in this game - not all are out and out fighter players with perfect hand eye coordination and judgement. We talentless majority still have a right to play the game advertised and paid for without the ridicule of those who consider themselves superior - maybe THATS the truth that really needs to be recognised.

Sparks-

Lazs thrives on posts like this. You see, he tosses the little insults or barbs in an effort to get a reaction such as this.

Why he does this, I have no idea, but he seems to have developed quite a following of Lazs-clones.

They seem to jockey for position of greatest instigator, and at times, the race is rather close.

You have to understand Lazs. You see, to him, the BBS is a furball as well, and he treats it as such.

Now, I've never personally met the man, but I hear good things about him.

This may seem kinda strange coming from a guy who regularly get called "Fluffer" "Sky accountant" etc, but if you simply ignore the little barbs, it's easier to get to the point of the message.

Good Luck!

S! Sparks

The question is why HTC allows abuse of all types on their boards.  There are a million 'Lazs' out there.  It is a mark on this game that they find a home here.

I don't care what you bomb, strafe, auger into, or capture.

I just don't see how the above or any other activity in AH can be fun when those taking part would rather not encounter a human enemy.

I personally would like to see much narrower fronts, where every bit of gound is fought for, not milked.

Still the bottom line is, furballers dont want to limit strat guys play.  As it now stands furballers do not have a map other than fester's where furballing is conducive to furballing.  

We don’t want to change or stop the way strat guys play, we just want to be able to furball with people that want to furball, while all the strat guys are dropping bombs and shooting rockets.

As for your attack on laz, if you put your highlights back into the context they were taken from you lose your point.  These BBs are full of Aholes like Laz (Sorry Laz lol) and there are as many of them that are strat guys as furballers.

Good point, Furious.

A narrow front where GV's Duke it out for every yard, Jabo's dive in to attack the GV's, Fighters mix it up with the Jabos and other fighters, while resupply vehicles keep the convoy rolling.

And the whole time, the Heavy Bombers are smashing the infrastructure while being attacked and defended by fighters.

And every enemy/friendly unit you encounter is another person.

Sounds like nirvana.

 Well Sparks, see there`s a reason Liz....... errrrrrrrr Laz a.k.a. Humpy The Wonder Pooch uses such terms as sad, talentless, and attention starved. He is familiar with these terms because those are his characteristics.
He`s just a sad, talentless, attention starved little poochy pup in a land with no fire hydrants and no step stool to reach an ankle. :D

You will always meet instigators, in every game.  Thats why AH gives you the option to squelch a person or an entire channel if you wish.  I love buffs, they are enormous slow flying targets when on the other team, and great bait when on your team  :D

But seriously, to each his own, you don't like flying fighters, don't do it, if you are an LTAR and like driving large gun toting monstroncities around, go for it; if you are a muppet and want to wing with kappa's 38 or fester's g10, go ahead and do it.  And if you get killed doing these and some starts trash talking you, .squelch him, or just give it right back.  Do what you like and don't worry about the other guy who is worrying more about what you are doing and not getting the enjoyment that he/she could :aok

Ht could care less if nobody playing this game ever fought anyone else, so long as everyone pays their 15 bucks a month.  The players make the "gameplay", not HT.
