The last, least likely ones to die by my hand are those that are also flying to survive, that areflying smart, like Lazerus in his Ta-152 last night for example . I am more successfull as a survivalist pilot today than I was 6 months ago, or a year ago. That tells me there is little difference whatsoever in the breakdown of fighter pilot's styles over time, either that or I'm getting alot better at it in relatively short periods of time, which I find highly unlikely as long as I have been playing WW2 Combat Flight Sims.

Did I get offended? Lol, lets see you personally attacked me and my post (I know this because you quoted me in your earlier post), you resorted to name-calling and innuendo....yeah I got offended.

You don't even know me and yet you assumed what I did in the extra time I spent online....what was your exact quote? Oh yeah, "You were gonna log for the night but you saw a chance to screw your fellow rooks out of some rides so you stayed on and twiddled your fingers".  Actually I spent the time wisely, flying goons and killing bish fields to help win the reset. You missed my point entirely. I did not want my logging to be construed by HT that the facist plan of Eny Limiting works by forcing me offline. So I didn't log. I kept playing, and for some small part I helped with the reset that shouldn't have happened. I wasn't the only one that felt this way and decided that this will be my form of protest. You may not like that or even understand it but I eagerly await your intelligent debate on why I am wrong. Don't use childish name-calling and bashing and then act like you didn't. You even expected to have your post removed because of the content
" p.s. Yeah .... I know ... this post has a very limited shelflife", remember that comment?

Well ..... I seriously doubt that your logging would have been construed by HT at all, to tell ya the truth. Now if all the Rooks logged enmasse someone might have noticed the log and asked a question or two. How about that? How about the next time the Rooks are deprived of flying Lalas or 262s they all coordinate a mass logoff in protest?  

Of course .... that would kill the ride availablility on the other sides pretty quick and some players from over there may not feel quite the revulsion you do about switching and maybe ... just maybe .... the arena would be able to continue on, albiet with lesser numbers. Besides ... Bish and Knits aren't nearly as coordinated as the rooks.

No wait ... on second thought, bad idea. I don't think HT would like it, either. No, I think you should continue on your present course of action and win the next seven camps flying P40bs in mass formations. I may even switch to rooks again and have fun with you doing it. Sounds like a blast to me.

So pardon me if my participation in this thread is merely for amusement's sake and absolutely none of my posts here effectively contest your well thought out plan of protest or even the reason for protest .... or offer opinions or suggestions on how to keep HTC from going bankrupt coddling to the side you don't belong to regarding this issue.

But I'll certainly apologize for offending you with my complete lack of tact and courtesy in my first post addressed to you. And I'm sure you feel the same way and we get along fine now (or I'll assume that until you say otherwise).

Carry on. I got your back.

I'll wing with you anyday, Maverick.

Don't ask me if I've been drinking cause here I'm a virtual officer and a virtual gentleman.

Bah , have heard stories of you VF-17 guys  emptying out the planes  so you can haul in the beer      

Let's fly a hog sortie one day for old times sake

I'm always keen to learn new tips and techniques.   Could you send me a film sometime of a typical sortie , wouldn' t mind  seeing how's done by someone with your experience

Yea, my 27 minute fighter runs in Typhoon are really memory intensive.

you bet.... ah films can get quite bloated for a relatively small amount of time filmed.

3-4 mins of film can run almost a mb. then when you send them, even zipped, there's transmittal bloat/overhead that can run as high as 10-15% of the base film (zipped) size.

I've never really noticed, I have two 240 Gig HD's in RAID, HD space is not really an issue for me.

A film would be better, because I've been suffering really bad insomnia lately  and I've tried books  , but they don't work.

I thought if I could watch one of your films it might just  help me nod off
