Author Topic: How much fighter pilot AMBITION do you have? (Read 2891 times)

I take issue with the scoring system!!

Pork-n-Auger guys are NOT fighter pilots!! They are bomber pilots that are too lazy to figure out how the bombsight works!!

A REAL (well, virtually real anway

) fighter pilot would never dive through a cloud of enemy fighters to drop a bomb, shoot a couple of acks and die. Manly men don't carry bombs

.

Oh, based on the scoring system (minus the PnA tag), I am a 0. I could care less about how good I am. I fly for fun...not for ego.

You think you've got problems simply by participating in this thread? My greatness is pegged simply by playing AH and visiting this board!

As far as amibition goes....

I started out playing this game with ambition level 10.
That value has decreased steadily as my actual skill level has increased, I suppose in negative proportion.

Not sure where exactly I am now....

see a red plane... go kill it. the red planes have people controling them... the toolsheds and such are just Ai... like a boxed game.

If you kill one of the red planes that started out with an advantage over you it is more fun than killing one that never sees you. If he never sees you then he is worse than Ai to kill.

It's all. pretty simple really.

Hmmm personal ratings, talk about baiting the hook beet lol:D

We'll I agree the Pork an Auger types should not even be considered.

If you have dropped a bomb and hit the ground at the same time, if you have dropped a bomb and ran like a biotch or if you didn't even get your bombs off cause you were shot by the ack with in the last three tours, then no you don't even rate.

But I do include the guys that come in, drop a hanger, barracks or ack leave the rest of the base alone and fight.

So ambition:

Do you mean fly safely at 20k or above, dive on some unsuspecting individual only to have the whole fight take place between 5 and 10 k anyway, types; or the ones when you reverse on them once, they climb back up onto their perch and wait for you to get tangled up below them with one of their countryman, or the ones that blow the merge and run back to their field, get more fuel, climb back to 20k dive on you again blow the merge run, but get caught and die types?

Because I don't think we should count them either. They have no ambition to get any better fighting.

Otherwise, they would tangle it up, take some risks, push the envelope of both pilot and plane. And in the end, in the only time and place in the world or history, of this type of engagement would they live with the outcome.

Possible Endings....

So, when I run into you at 10k or below beet, where the fight is, I'll let you know.

Nahh too much beating my chest and mystery lol

.
or
If thats what you mean by ambition then, my ambition is a 10+, but i'm still working on the skill part:D

or

Rhut Rho Rhaggy, here comes another rhunner. It's ok Scoob. Give me a few of those Scooby snaks and we'll catch him and shoot his prettythang down. Ok Rhaggy Rhets Rho. [Shot down runner]If it wasn't for those dam medleing kids I would have run all the way back to my base so the AI ack could shoot em down.

Shane, you are disqualified, as more than 65% of your kills in tour 49 were in the P51/LA7/Spit ix EasyMode™ subset. In order to have ambition, you need to seek a challenge. And there's no challenge in getting lots of kills in the P51/LA7/Spitix subset.

:D <-- Look, Mum - fresh bait!

Mars, I could not unravel your dissertation. All I know is that the first and only time I met you it was below 10K and I killed you. But, come to think of it, it didn't need much ambition at all.

Shane · « **Reply #28 on:** March 28, 2004, 01:28:26 PM »

ahhhh but you've failed to take into account *how* planes are flown by those who fly them...

wanna duel la7 vs say..... any plane of your choice?

i'll even spot you 6k alt.

crank that ambition up, son.

I play this game for laughs, cheap thrills and as a study of the history that I love. If I had fighter pilot ambition I would have joined the USAF.
