your ride, the lala can be fun.   If flown "correctly" it would be pretty boring tho.   the gee 10 or dee 9 are very limited.   They are the enemies of fun.   Planes like the yak can be fun... or a typhie...

bzzzt...

ponys are fun.  109g10 is fun. yak's are fun. lala's can be very fun.

the thing is to push them to the edge of their envelope. you can have a blast doing so. no need to fly like a sky accountant. blech. it's all in how one chooses to fly that makes it "fun"  for one.

i agree that fweenies are in general limited, especially the d9. and i put the tiff in same category as the d9.

it's yours, as you well know.  it best describes what style you (and i) consider "not fun."

shane..  I am beggining to think you have the right idea.   I grab a yak when I get real frustrated at the timid hordes in their late model runners but I know a La7 would be better.   If I get real frustrated or bored I grab a tempest and run their unskilled butts down.

I just don't like to think the game has finally gotten so late war/fast plane centric.

The balance has been shifting for a while now... new guys afraid of their own shadow or coming from another sim and afraid to "look bad".... maps that are strictly for late war planes.... "strat" that rewards chossing late war planes and rewards ruining lots of peoples fun.  

wish the pendulum would swing back... festers map is some hope.

I would think a tank duel would be kind of boring.

I used to hate pizza map, but I could never figure out why.  Then I realized it wasn't me, it was everybody else around me.  I fell in a trap, completely influenced by the negativity, the frustration of many, and perhaps not majority (though it seemed that way at the time).

When pizza map comes up, I order a pizza for delivery, set my plane on autoclimb wait for the pizza dude to deliver, eat a few slices, and with a beer to wash it down.  Then, lo and behold I'm at my target and I find it's the only way to fly the Pizza map, is to just eat the map. Now all we need is a Chinese food map, hmmm.

Personally I would like a map where i lift off the runway, and there I am ready to fight with the enemy at their base (oh wait a minute, that's the Fester Map :p ).

problem is buzzard that I tend to doze off on pizza map.    I do get some household chores done tho and last night I loaded a bunch of ammo for the range.

Whoo Hoooo - I'm back 5 days Snowmobiling in Canada what a rush flying down trails barely wide enough for two snowmobiles on 2004 Polaris 700 sport sleds.  450 miles in 3 days.  Was sweet.

It was an honest question. No need to be impolite. I still don't have an answer



Sorry beet I thought you were being a d#$K :D

I havn't a problem going to the DA, that's what I did.  The MA offers different things that the DA can't- (with out rehashing see slaps and others post to your exact question in other threads).  

But the MA has gotten so bad lately that I would love to see a furball arena now.

Slo
I fly around 10k on any MAP setup.....

I find a fight on any MAP setup....

I have really good fun flyin with my squaddies.....

your OBSERVATION is a pointless one.....come find me and we'll have a good time either fighting each other....or winging if you prefer.....bet your prettythang where gonna find a fight.

It's not the MAP's.....its your observation that sucks.


That's all well and good Slo, but I'm looking for more furball action not so much wandering a map hoping to find one con hear or one con there, maybe find a fight every 5 mins.  The pizza map and others have one inhrent problem, the fields are too far apart.  

Fester showed that you could move the fields closer without affecting game play for everyone else and creating more furball opportunities.

fester is a genius...  who woulda thought that simply moving the fields closer together woulda worked out so well?
