why do people have problems with flying to 25k? you up, press auto climb. then alt tab and goto your fav p0rn site while your waiting

Wouldn't mind if it stayed for another week personally....

LOL Beet,

There were plenty of 1 v 1 fights last night. I flew a few low yank and banks, then switched it over to 10k 190 A5 runs.

With the bases as close as they were, if the knights had one field capped I could fly a half sector to the next rook base. I almost always found one or two targets on their way to help defend against the knights cap. On the other maps you wont get guys flying from one base to help another because they are too far apart.

I got into a great 1 v 1 with Hispd 190 vs 109. Kappa cleaned my clock in his 38 another 1v1. I guess you can't be afraid to get into a trouble and need to take some chances.

I almost pissed my pants when you typed on chan1 "Augering from boredom". I thought to myself, "Can Beet be that big of a weener. All these fights going on and he can't find one"

Looked in the outer "non-furball" area. Found a few cons.

If I read this right are you insinuating that most of the people were not flying where there were few cons? If so...

Could this mean that given the choice the majority of the people will fight where they can find an abundance of fights. Could it also mean that they don't take long boring flights unless the map forces them to, because the other choices don't exist?

Interesting.

Hi Mars,

I was operating from the rook base south of A196. That's in the area of spaced out fields. I saw a few skirmishes, but eventually those dried up. Went to another field but it quickly became overrun by a Bish gangbang. Tried a third field - was OK if you like 1K fights. But when you shoot someone down, they're right back at you with a full clip two minutes later. So what's the point? Furball Alley was not much of an option - Rooks heavily outnumbered by a conveyor belt of cons.

The whole thing was as one person described "Aerial Quake". Only difference being that the vehicles have wings and are known by WW2 names.

That's what I feel on the pizza map, as I land a 6/8/10 kill sortie.

As for where folks would prefer to fly, I did a poll on the OZK map. A lot of those who answered said they remained in the outer area and NEVER entered the furball melee. So it seems I'm not entirely alone.

Wrong ... "A lot" ... your poll was not that definative.

mars01 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 27, 2004, 04:00:35 PM »

Yeah it has alot to do with where you fly and what you want to do I guess. Rooks were getting beat up pretty good last night. Seemed the Knights vs Rooks hade more even numbers which was cool.

Are you saying your relying on that BB poll, which as you know is a small populace, instead of what you see happening in the MA?

he threw out the data from his own poll that didn't say that people flew mostly away from the middle isle... he ignored those who said they went wherever there was a furball... he threw out the data for the people who answered say 1and 2 because they didn't flyall the time in the center isle but switched around... even tho 1 and 2 is a lot closer to 1 than 5.

p47 / f4u-4 / p-51D are great fun at alt...come on up, you La-7 hot shots

2-3k lesser alt is enough of an advantage for the 51 to be able to tackle those La7 hotshot aces... no need to go any higher than they are to kill them with ease.

Went to the kitchen to organise refreshment while it was climbing

LOL Beet!

You S.O.B you make me laugh. Was it whine?

beet1e if aerial quake bothers you just spend more time in the tower between your deaths. That way things will feel more controlled and measured.

Oh! I see I have quite a following! Hello Slapshot!

Wrong ... "A lot" ... your poll was not that definative.

Well of course, "a lot" is relative to the number of people who participated. There were about 32 valid replies. Of those considered valid, 5 was the number most voted (about 25% of the valid votes) - "I never go to furball central". But you're free to interpret the poll as you wish. I said at the time I had no axe to grind. In fact I don't know why you brought it up...

Mars01 - see the above. -and you're still my favourite maroon!

I threw out about THREE votes out of about 32, those three being people who couldn't follow the directions. The response I asked for was for a numeric integer between 1 and 5. Not too difficult one would have thought. Two of the votes cast were 2.5 and 3.5. In calculating the average, those two would have cancelled eachother out. Someone else voted 2/3 - whassthatthen? Two thirds? 2.4? Sorry - no spoilt ballot papers allowed. Other than those, there was a brick-of-text from Lazs, but no numeric vote as required - vote discounted. So... by how much did that alter the poll? Very, very little. Possibly 0.2%. Erm.... what was your point again, Lazs?

Morpheus! No wine - Stella Artois!

Hornet - tnx for the advice. I died only one plane death tonight, and one LVT death. It was a much better night than last night, with CV battles going on around the edge. I did some toolshed killing, some air combat, and some field captures (one by goon, one by LVT).

I got into trouble in the south of the map. Spits and LA7s all over me like a cheap suit. Check out the film. It's pretty funny if you dislike LA7/Spit as I do.

And I did land two kills at the end of the sortie.

:D

Getting late, so Toodle-Pip!

Well Beet,

I wasnt trying to get smart with you, I do find is amazing tho, in one breath you cry about everyone flying in the furball area, then in the other you say no one chose to fly in the furball area.

I guess it is hard to admit, most people given the choice, will go where the fields are close and the fights are.

Morpheus · « **Reply #28 on:** April 27, 2004, 08:00:49 PM »

I hate furballs. I think they are a waste of time and fighting also.

I wish this game was based solely on porking, suiciding and taking bases. Anything else is just no fun.

FesterMA does suck after all. Fights all over no one wants to take bases. THe steamroller never waits for me to come on line:mad:

I hate everything pretty much. I hate it all:mad:

Ya, it's the maps faults you don't land more kills.
