Hey now, I sometimes like to die in an HO collision with an enemy too!

[airbumba]

No! not at all  !!

The fact that I landed , is because I DIDN"T have a fight!!!

[sax]

yep, I'll fly into the horde or auger rather than turn around.
AH is a fite sim not a flight sim.

[Nilsen]

It is what you want it to be wouldnt you say sax?

"a waste of time in your opinion if you didn't have a fight ??"


 Yes.  It would be an absolute waste of time.

[Delirium]

If I was in my P38 and I didn't have a fight, yes, it would be a failure. I'd be less disappointed if I was winging with someone and they got all the scalps and we both landed, that is a success imho.

In anything else, C47, Ostie, Il2, it doesn't matter. Those take up less than 5% of my online time anyway...

lol  here I was tryin to decide whether to just write 'ya' or  something witty and then I read this..  LMAO!

Depends on how many times Urchin private messages you about killing him in the previous sortie. I could fly all day with no kills while enjoying his streaming insults and whiny rants in big, bold, white letters.

Hmmm a Combat Flight Sim and no fights = Microsoft Flight Sim.  I'll pass total waste of time.  Gimmie my 15 bucks back  lol.  

I get bored to death taking up real planes and flying around.  Now I'm looking for something aerobatic to keep the blood pumping lolh.  So abso*****glutley waste of time sitting in front of computer taking a Sunday Drive.

Did I say total waste of time yet.  Total waste of time.

...only if you didn't have even a loosely planned objective in the first place.

If i take off i am:
a) going to up from a field in close proximity to enemy contacts and leave ordinance behind fully intending to intercept a target or
b) going to an enemy base to loiter and drop ordinance in the hopes of making a nuisance of myself.

If you take off without thinking about what your objectives are:

i.e. interception, interdiction, strike, CAP, etc. etc. then I think you've seriously missed out on some of the fun of being a make believe combat pilot.

Flying a combat air patrol without making any contacts; Dissapointing? Yes. A waste of time? No.

If you take off without thinking about what your objectives are:

One objective only and always -KILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

in under 50 words: -

Yes.

[68DevilM]

when this happens i usually dont have the patienance to land unless im right next to a friendly base, so ill commit suicide by either auguring or useing my squadmates as target practice

[Wadke]

Could someone explain to just what this landing thing is?
Since i never get a chance to do so i forgot what it means

[Sikboy]

In the MA? Yes.
In an Event? No.

I've flown some of my favorite missions in special events, where the whole point was to track incoming aircraft or ships without engaging. I once flew a FW190 just outside a formation of B-17s for over a hundred miles, vectoring in interceptors. The Escorts finally got wise and chased me off, but man that was fun while it lasted.

It's nice that the game can accomadate many different interests and styles. I look forward to ToD to open up even more mission types and features.
