The Rank means nothing except to those people who MUST have control of the TaskGroup AT ALL COSTS !!!

Just to clear things up, I absolutely don't belong in that group. I look at it and see no one I might be able to best in a 5 out of 7.

I've been playing since about 1989 or 90.. I forget now.. old age........ it was AW DOS on GEnie, I remember that much. I'm competent, maybe even average but that's all.

However, like NoPoop, I'm a firm believer that this is or should be all about air combat.


This bears repeating and careful reading by those who play for easily gamed score.

I'm putting my skills on the line against other opponents on a nightly basis and trying to improve. I'm fighting other people. What a concept. Go online and fight other pilots..

I suppose I could learn to spawn camp to give me a better score..

That's an improvement..

Jeez that makes me puke, it ruins the game for what it was originally designed for.

But you GO !!

You have no idea of what this game can be, and don't have the fuggin fortitude to learn.

What a bunch of crap you all buy into.

This guy just provided a clue. The ball is in your court. There's things you can achieve in this game of which you can be proud; he just told yo what they are.

Poopster...

I hate to be the one pissin' in your teapot....but, from the getgo, HT intended for AH to be more that an air combat sim. Ask him about submarines or the "1st person shooter" field captures he would like to implement some day.

As for what the thread is about (sri, I was coat-tailing the hijacking :D)....playing for score is silly. Anyone that hasn't figured that out yet has my sympathy. At the "end of the day", if you are playing for score...you're just jerkin' off :).

No hijack NB. It just gets to me. You know, I know, lotsa people know what this game can be. Whether it be being GOOD at jabo, GOOD at bombers or GOOD at fighters.

Any of those require doing time and working at it.

Like DrDea said, I would rather have a 3 minute hair on fire nail biter and lose..

That's just me.

It's the wrong message to send out...

How to get a high rank..

If I were new and I was early in my learning curve getting slapped around while I was learning I'D PRINT THE FUGGER OUT.

Ta hell with learnin the craft, I got it right here in black and white how to be good. Was it one rocket or two..

I'll bet ya 12 pack of cheap beer there's a ream of paper copies sitting at computer desks right now as we speak.

Can't WAIT for the next tour as they tape the copy on their moniters..

How many are watching films on reversals and working it ??

Learning is a very rewarding experience. Gaming is meat in the right hand.

To promote gaming the game, is a bad show.

It takes from the game a persons chance for those special "moments" when you lose all track of time, sense of where you are. You become, for those few short tense minutes, literally "in" game.. Toad knows, it's a drug.

Now forgive me, I didn't print it out, was it one rocket..or two ??

I believe that was taken out a few versions ago after a few people submitted film of Voss sitting in a Jug and shooting at hanger to up his attack hit %.

Do a search of the message boards for Voss and you'll find out why we hold him such disregard.

well, milkrunning score goobers may be held in low esteem, but you gotta admit its fun catching them in the act, or even being one of the "caught".   Its one of the best ways to find a decent 1v1 / 2v2.

I dunno, score seems to have some relevance, but the way to get it is a bit skewed (gamey).  I'll never likely have a fighter rank under 1500 or so, and well....same goes for other scores too.  I'll often look to what a guys rank is after he leaves me standing in the tower saying "wtf?"  Usually his rank will be not much better than mine, but he surely cleaned my clock! :)

Oh, and welcome back Rod :D

Some maps are hard enough to find a fight in as it is.


True, but think about the decreased number of HOing NIKIs in the skys.  They will be busy shooting at buildings now and then they will have to fly back with no amo :D

I don't think you would want to fly with or against those people anyway.  Let them be busy somewhere else while we are having fun flying plains.
