Complaining how or what a person flys.

12 years of flying fighters eh Zazen? From the way I have seen you fly, (I film most flights and review them later), it would look like you have no more than 12 days in a fighter. You show almost zero aggressiveness in a fighter. A good fighter pilot knows when to be aggressive and when to back off. A good pilot also knows *how* to disengage and when.

Your lack of aggressiveness in fighters is probably why you enjoy your time in that tin can known as an Ostie. Flying an Ostie doesnt require a shred of aggressiveness :p

You would argue that sitting on a re-arm pad in something that looks like a dalek, with your finger poised on the .ef keys , shooting at planes that are not even engaging you , displays some form of aggression or skill ?

I would liken it to space invaders at best. Wouldn't rate as high as Galaga though - that was quite tricky ;)

oooo galaga!!  best return on 1 quarter was breaking a million. of course it took a ton of quarters to reach that point.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

First off I have never sat on a re-arm pad {the fiters use it as a target} Second, I don't exit out when the bombs start fallin'. Anyone who has fought or flew over LTAR knows we don't  .EF !

A lone ANYTHING will work if there's less than 5 of them and they don't have alt. ;)

>>Takes you 2 hrs to get to hq at alt kill it and they resupply it before your dead lol. <<

Unless you fly off the map and sneak in on an HQ to buff it
That seems kinda cheesy doncha think? Or maybe not.
It seems that some will always see things from their own POV, and disregard the points of others, real or imagined.
From what I have seen so far, many will whine, and others will complain; the two aren't necessarily the same. And some of the complainers may actually have a legitimate point.
But since we are all paying customers, and have the right to want to play the game in the way we see fit, there will always be conflicting views. OTOH, we pay to play but, there have to be rules set so all paying customers get some enjoyment out of it.
HT and company have a tough chore making all of the ends meet, it aint me :aok
I retain the right to get pissed about dweeblike behavior, simply because it is just that. I find I do not agree with most of the points you make here, because it seems you find many of the things I dislike and find dweeblike, to be okay.

>>You have 736 kills so far this Tour, 554 of them in an Ostie, 68 as a ship/field gunner and 114 kills in planes. I think Ack-Ack was dead on, you might want to spend more time in planes before trying to hand out advise on how to fly <<

Uh Elfie:
I really think you may wanna rely on other info before you go handing this kind of advice out; I know Zazen; I don't know you. I have seen him fly, fight and kill, I don't know anything about you.
I have also learned a thing or two about AH:
the stats in here don't amount to much, nor does rank. There are plenty of players in this game who are excellent sticks, and ya wouldn't know it by looking up their stats.
Hehe if he toasted you while he was in an Ostie, well shame on ya :) ya need to be more careful. He has been getting an abnormal amount of kills in an Ostie this camp because he has chosen to do so. It takes a lot of skill to get multiple kills in one.
He gives adsvice on flying because he is good at that too. But, you don't hafta take my word for it :D

>>Maybe if you ask really nicely, he'll let you .join his Osty so you can see exactly how he does so well in it.

From what I understand, his method does not involve holding down the trigger and whirling the turret around<<

I've seen Zazen fly and I'm not impressed Don.

Also, now that I can actually see gv's from the air before I have flown past them, should make a bit of a difference now :P


If you had read the entire thread you wouldnt have missed that :D I use ground vis mode now when over or near an enemy base just so I can see where and how many gv's there are. Ground vis mode kinda sucks though, my fr drops from 40's-50's down to the teens when I turn it on, Gotta figure out why and hopefully fix it.

I did Elfie, but that wasn't my point. It really isnt all that important right now. Hehe, and as for your being unimpressed with Zazen then...thats your deal too. :)  I suppose you're just gonna hafta figure your way around.
