COULD NOT believe someone downed the FH's at 22? when everybody was flying out of there to meet nme coming from 25!

kj ... come on ... you have been around long enough to believe this ... ;)

Then again, maybe ou haven't been around long enough.

The are two major goals in AH ...

Do everything within your powers to spoil anyone elses enjoyment of AH ... see your story for a prime example.

Do everything within your powers to create a situation where you don't have to fight, else you might .... oh this is painfull ... you might .... help me here ... you might DIE ... there I said it.

I've been around long enough..... but it was so......pointless.

Oh yeah, who was it last nite that said they had Shane locked in the trunk of their car? Did the cops find him yet?

That was a ROFLMAO for sure.

I'm probably one of those F4U-4's you speak of, but I fly em in AH1, too. Most dolts don't have the balls to risk blowing 60 perks a ride on it in the MA, so they're geeked at flyin em on the cheap...

Yeah Red I can't imagine anyone would cry about seeing an F4U4.  If anything it's marinally better than a 51 in most hands.

I love the F4U4 - I fly it some in the MA - but it sucks because once someone sees that tag, you can count on every con in eye shot dropping everything and comming after you.

As for the perks with a total of a measly 6k I could care less how many I lose hahhaha.

So what is mindless about a furball?

What is the max extension before you are running and not using brains?

I had a ton of fun getting kills in the Spit MkI and Hurri MkI last night too. Those planes are just UBER!!

A to name, good fight there in the Hurricane II. How many .303 slugs did you find loose in the cockit anyway? I know it took about 1200 rounds to kill ya. :)

Never have mistaken those that fly and use their brains. They typically use their grey matter to engage in a fight and hoping to win. I was referring to those who are afraid to use their brains and at the same time are afraid to ... here we go again ... DIE.

The "mindless" won't survive very long in a furball, so you need a new adjective to accompany "furball".

:D

well I will turn 2 or 3 times vs. a spit in my Pony or Tif....then I will extend and see if I can come back.....

some call that running...some call it using gray matter....as you so eloquently put it....

jumping into a furball.....90% die.....get picked off...or get jumped even before you do furball....hence the mindless

Hordes - if you hate them, then fight them. I've had some exciting flights attempting to counter hordes by upping a fast plane like my fav p51B, getting some alt and speed, and then harrassing the heck out of the flight path between the horde base to their target. I don't get a lot of kills but I sure annoy the nme. There a lots of nme who feel safe in the midst of the horde, and they are ripe for the plucking. People drop their ordnance to avoid me, and generally get really angry. Since I am outnumbered vastly in such scenarios, I feel free to do whatever I want, including running away and coming back, without fear of censure from the political correctness nannys. Great joy can be gained from annoying the nme herd, getting a kill or two, and surviving to tell the tale.  Hordes can be great fun. I have to admit that this kind of ride gets extra hard when they send ME163s after me. :) They may succeed in their hording activities and capture the base, but I try to make sure that they don't do it in too much comfort.

i am having fun in beta, sorry most of ya are not (by the looks of it).  and since that is what playing this game is about (you know having fun) ill keep doing what im doing.  im sure everyones idea of fun is different, so why bash them for doing what they enjoy?  because you dont like it?  to bad, im not gonna lose sleep over your thoughts of me playing the way i like.  try something different than whining about it, like, log off or find another area to fly, thats what i have to do.  oh well, im sure this will never end, someone will always be upset about something they have no contol over.

Talkin to the Rock again. If bases are close together it allows more people shorter flights to the horde from different points. I noticed that when there is only one base and the next closest is a sector or more away, less people opt to up, plain and simple.
Well, your vision of gameplay Utopia and my vision of gameplay Utopia are never going to be the same. I guess that's why we have a map rotation - each player gets his favourite map once in a while. And to Skuzzy for seeing to it that Pizza was given its full turn this week.

What pisses me off about small maps/close fields is when you work hard to push the enemy back, and it all comes to nought because while you maintain the cap, they send in an LA7 squad from a field 2 mins away. :mad: That, IMO, sucks. OK, I accept it's what you want, but it isn't what I want. Let's just leave it at that.  

In response to my question about what you would do to repel a rook attack of about 10 planes, you answered thus:
Quote
What are you asking? I wouldn't be doing anything, bomber support is boring at best, I'm looking for fights. As for killing bombers, I don't climb to god awful heights, if they aren't under 10k I don't go after them.
Looking for fights, huh? Well, it just so happens that I have the film from that time we repelled the knits back to their base. There were only about 10 of us rooks and, by your own definition, that does not constitute a horde. Looking for fights my arse. I'll tell you where you'd be. You'd be quivering in your GV - that's where you'd be. You're in that film, and that's what you did - even though the numbers were even at your base and you could easily have made an attempt to up a fighter. But golly-gosh - to up a fighter might mean you'd run risk and DIE!  There, I've said it now. Hehe, just paraphrasing Slapshot.

Film of Mars01, quivering in his FLAK pansie instead of upping a fighter - But why? There were plenty of knit fighters up, and only about 9 rooks, ie NOT a horde. Folks blame the pizza map for not being able to find air to air combat. Hello? It helps if you get in a plane! :lol

Looking for fights - yeah, right. You say one thing, and you do another.
