i used to think all the countrys used the same tactics but how wrong i m

[simshell]

iv allways fly for the bish sense day one and iv never left them

but i used to think all the countrys fight the same way but after this week iv learned that the rooks are nothing but 15k 20k alt monkeys flying nothing but 190D-9's P51's and even when they are flying knife fighters they still fly them at 15k evertime

infact when im flying my yak and i dive on a 190D-9 or P51 its funny to watch them act like dolts not knowing what to do they try everthing to not fight me in a 1v1!!! they try doing a loop and then trying to make a run for it  or pretend to fight me then try to escape and then i mow them down in my great yak-u

infact they tryed to get away in anyplane i flew and the only time i got a 1v1 dogfight was when they were 5k higher then me  

its realy sadd that you rooks are not fighters but only cherry pickers after fighting you guys im never joining the rooks ever

[Seraphim]

Wow I thought they only did that to knights

[TequilaChaser]

simshell,
what about the 5 vs 1 only time they'll fight ya
or the tactic of  300+ rooks storming the bish &/or knits and trying do a reset:rofl

still     over last sunday nights RJO

[Saintaw]

How ironic...

[_Schadenfreude_]

never joining the rooks ever [/B][/QUOTE]

We all have to learn to live with life's little dissapointments....

[TweetyBird]

If you see a Rook below 15k, you can bet its missing its tail

[mars01]

WOW lol I thought I was the only one this happend to.  Yeah whats up Rooks, why do you guys hate the 1 v 1 some much?

I must say that most of em that dive down and actually fight usually end up dying anyway.  Hmmmm maybe thats why

I guess after wasting ten mins to climb to 25k it does suck to die in 10 seconds. lol

[anton]

opens with whine about Rook alts, then follow it up with "when I dive on them..."  

Now I dont claim to be any kind of science professor or the likes of, But im pretty sure you would have to be higher than the rooks to dive on them....

Also worthy of note- last nite I fought at least 4 waves of 30k p38s, suicide pork lamers who wanted to keep A38 dead. For me the fun lies in knowing how long it takes to get 30k when yer heavy, & how quickly they died after the de-alted    


My Summation is that all countries do everything. Maybe not exactly the same, but REAL similar. And many people as well as squads switch countries all the time, so it only stands to reason tactics used would be very similar from country to country.

LOL Anoton,

That dive part is funny.

But I have to say as of late the majority of the rooks that I have run into over the last couple of tours are always higher, by at least 10k or better and when they blow the merge do nothing but run for safety, only to climb back to alt ten mins later and not fight again.  

Now if this were real life or we were getting paid the conservative attitude would be fine, but give me a break guys.  

This is a game, that pits pilot against pilot.  If you don't engage because you are worried about losing your advantage then this game sucks and your not going to get any better at it.

[Mini D]

The reason you think it's only the rooks doing this is you don't fly rook.

MiniD

[SOB]

Exactly.

[killnu]

i typically fly 15 to 18k in my 38.  90% of the time i will run into a 20-25k nit/bish over their own base when i get there.
~S~

The reason you think it's only the rooks doing this is you don't fly rook.

Right, because my eyes are close the whole time I am flying lol (cheap shot)


Mini - this is a rook habbit.  If I had a $ for every time someone said, "multiple contacts high alt."  

Then someone says, "geez what are these guys doing so high, when none of us are over 8k?"

Then someone else says, "Must be Rook alt monkeys."

Then someone might say, "Could be bombers."

I would be bill gates.

Then low and behold they come into tag range and they are always Rooks, 51s, typh, 38s etc.

Now this would not be bad, but then they dive down, make a pass or two and run once they have lost the advantage.  And sometimes even worse they dont even come down and fight.

As for the Bish, most of the Bish that I have run into lately will come down and fight.

As for the nights, we are so busy defending against the hords that we dont have any time to climb lolh.

There's Altitude Simians in every country. Just as there are Weedwhackers in every country. Just as there are good sticks in every country. Just as there are weak sticks in every country. Just as.....

ah, well... you probably get it.

The ONE thing I've seen that isn't in every country is a willingness to all show up at the same time and declare a "joint operation" or something.

This can be either good or bad. Depends on if you like being on a steamroller side or if you like having lots of targets. Or if you don't like having to fight your buddies for a kill. Or if you don't like getting ganged.

Bottom line is this: There's that little button on the clipboard that has "Quit" written on it. If you're not having fun, no matter what side you're on, click on that and come back another time.

I enjoyed the last RJO until the last CV near the action was sunk and the rest of the fields were at 25% fuel. Then I simply availed myself of the "quit" option.

I do think it'd be pretty funny one RJO night,though, if when the 300+ showed up, the other 150 on each side all pressed the Q button, logged for maybe 3 hours and went and watched TV with their kids, took their wives to movies or took the dog for a walk.

I have this vision of a steamroller with no place to go. Sorta makes me smile.

Aww more crap from whiners. I can pull a beet1e if you want.  Post a couple of my recent flights as films, showing my 8-12k pony dodging high cons from either side(nits or bish). I've flown nits a couple of times this tour and had to dodge the same amount of bish  AND rooks.  You crybabies that think one side does this more than another are just that, crybabies.
Simshell, I'm a rook, tell me where to meet you, pick the alt.
I love playing AH!
