I hear all those good things about it
I wonder why you hear those things?
I figured I will try it.
Good I hope you stick with it. It is much harder than the MA and not nearly as "Gamey".
What I have found however, is that it is very simular to the MA with less people. Only the people think they are special.
And this is from your wealth of experience in the CT. See second quote.
What I have seen are gungbangs and trash talking on the text buffer. Maybe it was just a bad day.
It does happen in the CT. Not nearly on the same frequency or basis as the MA.
We would love to have fly in the CT. It does require a completely different set of skills from the MA and you will have to learn to fly something besides the late war uber fighters.
I will say your post's smack of whinning to this point. Some Advice for ANY arena:
1. Don't take off at a base that is being capped. Take off at another base, come in with altitude and remove the cap. It will save you the frustration of being "vulched".
2. Don't follow them into the ack. Running to the ack is smart when your disadvantaged. Recognize that and don't fall for it. Break off, retain your energy advantage, and reenter the fight on your terms again.
3. "Bore and Snore" fighting is usually heard from guys who don't know how to not only conserve their energy but build it while depleteing the attackers. Ask some guys in the arena or check with NetAces. There are some good articles available and lots of willing folks to help out.
Big Boy rules. If you enter the fight with a disadvantage don't be surprised, defensive, angry, or blame others when you die. Your the dummy that entered the fight.
If the CT is not your cup of tea, fine.
! Take Care, and don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
