Dipstick, this thread didn't have anything to do w/ numbers. It was about how rooks fly high. I was pointing out that every country has altmonkeys. Were you really unable to follow along w/ this?

Shane · « **Reply #92 on:** January 25, 2004, 10:17:54 PM »

no kidding.. i hop countries whenever the mood strikes me. i can say there are plenty of knits who are just like rooks in flying high and being timid. just as there are bish.

alt itself doesn't bother me insomuch as the amount of timidity i see.

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!!!

Thats only nonsens.
You really expect a 190D9 or Pony fighting with you while you dive down to it in your Yak? If he would do, you probably would call him a HO queen.
The average pilot in the MA is not more than just..hmm..average.
And if he is an experienced average pilot, he knows when its time to run.
Bragging around that everybody runs from your diving Yak isnt very impressive.
You better fly a 190D9 and fight a Yak which is diving down to you.
That would teach you some modesty.

or learn how to fly the d9 from a disadvantage (or any plane for that matter) and pop that yak.

Bish learn to fight primarily at the 2k - 10k alt range. This is a completely accidental result of always having porked fuel at their forward bases.

Not necessarily.

Too many times I have baited down a higher plane and got them to bleed their E down to a point that they became trapped. I dictated the fight by creating angles that spoiled the guns solution on the attack run, all the while causing the attacker to lose precious E on each pass.

Yes necessarily.

The guy you nailed could have kept on flying, could have shadowed you, could have fled, but chose to engage. While dictating the battle your opponent can not dictate the outcome. The altitude just gave him a few more options. Your options remained limited, move or die.

Typically speaking you can't engage an ememy that is say 5-10k above you. Unless they initiate the attack.

SlapShot · « **Reply #102 on:** February 02, 2004, 04:03:02 PM »

Oh my "refined texas-tea" friend ...

Shoulda - coulda - woulda ...

I bait them down.

I create the angles that burn their E.

I kill them.

Sounds to me like I am in control and not them. If they chose to play my game then I have the control.

Yes its deadly and the percentages aren't in my favor, but as long as I do it right and they keep coming back for more, I am in control.

Don't touch that knob ....

Having alt is a personal choice. If you're high you have more options. Having stated the obvious, I'm in no way implying that the rooks have any particular agenda by flying high. Most times its hard to figure out what they intended to do evey while they're doing it.

You have to fly high if you want to run down the ??? (add your favorite runner plane here) that are fleeing the fight.

It is hard to fault the map for the high-alt flying. Even on small maps the folks that want to fly high will. The long flight times on the larger maps contribute to the bogeys being high. Most of them don't know what to do with the height, so its not that much of a threat.

Grimm - I agree 100%, everything is relative. The high guy is still an alt-monkey, even if I'm at 28K and he's co-alt.
