Is it me only or.....
« on: October 07, 2000, 08:36:00 AM »
I'm getting crappier day by day in the new MA
my feeling now is that it is hard to get a kill and it is easier to get killed.

anyway my killratio is now under 0.30
i'm getting the feeling i pay 30 dollar to play target.

Dammit Bug, I am the crappiest pilot in AH!

I cannot hit the map it seems and have been shot down by everyone in an airplane.

I think I got shot by some guy in a C47 last night.


What is a kill ratio?

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

   Bug, everyone goes through slumps. Shoulda seen me in tour 7. Couldn't do nothing right. Got killed 20 times for each assist (no kills lol).
   Now I'm back to 3 assists for each time I get killed.
   Seriously, relax and don't worry about it. Try flying buffs or a goon for awhile, or work with the ground vehicles. It's just a TEMPORARY slump.

Bug,

You re an excellent p38 pilot. The problem is that this arena is not well suited to your airplane of choice  


Unfortunately most ppl are dweebs and fly the easiest lane available, while people like U soldier on in your aircraft even though it is very difficult. <S>

Bug,

Part of the problem is that you ended up flying against a whole string of con missions.  It's hard to beat 20 guys flying together especially when they're all in the same room coordinating their efforts.

The other part of the problem is that you kept running into the P-38's led by drex

Erm.. no.

Flew against bug a couple of days ago.  He engaged 2 of us co-alt and kept turning.  Held us off for a bit then succumbed to my F4u-1d.  I'd have to say that tactics played a tad bit more into it.

Erm.. I guess we insult most people to humor one?

How about checking his stats Zigrat.  Take out his F4u-1C encounters and there isn't much of a statistical change.  He's having problems against anything with cannons.  It is because he allows way too many snapshots.

I'm not trying to dog ya Bug.. just that you need to start flying with a wingman if you are going to engage multiple bogeys.  Also, the prevelance of ground vehicles makes cannons a more viable option in the air.  Time to start considering that when going into an engagement.  The guy you start tracking may not have cannons, but the next one in most likely will.

Whhen I say "dweeb" i mean pilots who hop around between the current latest and greatest planes. In this i include myself, as I used to like ot fly the 190 but do not anymore because it is not effective. My stats reflect this, as I have flown spits,f4us,and nikis predominantly lately.

The "non dweebs" are those who have one aircraft they love (or i will include in this a german,russian,japanese aircraft enthusiast) who stick with a particular aircraft type regardless of its currentviability in the MA.

Examples of this type of people would be people like Bug, Santa, Nath,Citabria, Leonid, Udie, Frenchy, F4UDOA, et all. They have stuck eith one aircraft type predominantly (excpet for missions etcera)regardless of its current effictiveness.

For example, tehre are many "new" tiffie pilots who never touched it b4 this new version. They flew the then greatest plane, but now that the then greatest plane is gone, they have moved onto teh "new" greatest. These are people like Duma, who always flew th tiffie even when it sucked, they are the true "non dweebs".

Clearly, I am a dweeb as well, I flew the a5 when it was good, and now i do not now that it sucks. Now i fly the C hog and the nik alot etcera.

Switching aircraft doesnt mean you are a dweeb, switching saircraft to the "latest and greatest" is dweeby. And there are alot of dweebs out there, like me, who make it hard for the non dweebs.

That is what i was saying.

Your definition of dweeby is yet another person calling a group of people dweebs.  That needs to stop.

don't sweat it bug  
I am very new to the AH community so I have never flown under the old Flight Model - but I do exclusivly fly the c.205 and am very familiar with getting shot down...Sometimes I will fly smart and get a kill - which calls for a quick victory dance - and other times any red dot represents someone I work with or someone in traffic and its just nice to let a couple hundred rounds loose on 'em - it is fun-if you need a hearty chuckle or ego reinforcement go check my stats!Its always nice to know there is someone worse than you out there

Who did I flame Mino?

And.. just what is your contribution to this thread?  You thought you sensed a flamewar so you showed?  Or did you think Zigrat just needed a little moral support?
