Of course its not country specific, its skill specific.
It really sucks when you are looking for a fight, fly out to meet the incoming cons only for them to blow by in their late war rides to vulch spawning aircraft. HTC needs to change the code to not allow kills of aircraft on the airstrip to appear in radio buffer. A small incentive to teach the new guys to actually engage once in awhile.

LOL Ack-Ack.

I don't really care what he does with information he gets from my Cpid.

As far as running and hiding...ahh well, if he is as good as he says he is he wouldn't do that. In fact I don't really care one way or the other. Run, hide, look for me online, or just carry on with the vulch fest. Makes no difference to me.

I have no idea what his skills are, and really don't care. I can generally take care of myself in a 1V1.

The only real problem I have, is the idea that you can assign a personality type to someone, based on a chess piece in a game.
We are seeing psychology being practiced and preached by someone who doesn't even know for sure who they, themselves are.

At anyrate, it doesn't really matter in the end. I don't normally fly at 30K, or up from a vulched field (more than once or twice..hehe..slow learner sometimes), so we obviously have a different objective.

cheers,
RTR

I make my way as a vulcher? Really? Don't tell me you've been shadowing Lev and I again under your shades account, Lexus.

If you really want to put a damper on vulching, you'd give the plane that spawns a 15 second invulnerability time. This would also put a serious crimp in GV spawn camping. Personally, I would not like to see such a feature but it is a successfully proven feature in other games.

You can't, just like you can't base skill on someone's rank or score.

This is simply a skill level. It's where they are "at" in the learning curve. The only way to "fix" this behavior is to train them. Time and experience usually fixes this.

oh, and all countries have pilots that do this. it isn't country "specific".

It is usually the noob who makes a pass from an alt advantage realizes that he wont kill anyone high continues his dive through the masses vulches the runway zooms up where more experienced players are waiting to blow his butt up.

Also I have noticed a trend here of experienced players wanting to look up other players stats and compare them to theirs to try and make themselves feel superior. Flying style affects score. The pilot who chooses to furball score might be less than that of a B and Z pilot. An Agressive players score might be less than the timid players score. So can we please drop the my score your score crap. ITS OLD

Oh and to save you the trouble I only have a 3 to 1 K/D so no I am not an AH god... But then again if I stop taking on fights where I am at a huge disadvantage maybe I could do better.

This gets old fast huh?

Okay, I give up. I put my purse away.

Sure did have my "dander" up though! A rare event indeed!

Not sure what was in the other guys purse, but I smell like dried up old french pro.

I agree with this. It may be annoying to see someone just swoop by and die, but I don't think it is a problem that requires a solution. If that's what they have fun doing...then let em. It's not like fuel porking where they can destroy the game with a suicide.

Going further, I think in some cases this type of thing stems from a fear of defeat. If you fight and die, then someone defeated you. If you vultch and auger, then no one defeated you.

But again that is an individual thing.

Jamusta's comments weren't directed at you but at Zazen. It's a common defense of his to spew his stats in a rather pathetic attempt to prove he's actually good. And when the other person's stats or rank are better that his, he accuses the other person of 'making their way as a vulcher'.

It's rather funny though. For all the work Zazen puts into the game like getting shades accounts to follow other players and other crap like that, he still sucks. But then, what else do you expect from a player that has said, "Why learn ACM whe you can game the game?" I think that statement pretty much sums up Zazen.

Nope, was a quote from you in a thread you posted in when you accused Lev of being nothing but a talentless vulcher and admitted to shadowing him around in a shades account.
