It is just a part of the game...

Besides we all know we run contests from time to time looking for most kill shooter "kills" I've seen 4 on 1 "pass" in front of a conga line but I'm sure others have seen even more.

Karnak...

Not when you been in heavy maneuvering for a few seconds.

Sling...

I gotta disagree with you concerning SA. Yes, you do need SA management but no you may not see the friendly that drops in from your high 4 while your in a hard right turn. The last thing I do before I fire is a quick check of my 6. How many times have you done a rolling scissors on a guy so you force him to loose you on his high blind side? And he's looking for you. Now take that same situation with all friendlies in the area. You snapshot yer 6 and go for a shot.

Squadmates should be reliable.

This arguement is sutpid.

Limiting how many times a night you could shoot down an teammate would do nothing to limit how many times a night you could be shot down by teammates.

....and if you have played longer than an hour you know that no matter how well you are saddled up on a con, there is at least one jack-*** firing over you shoulder. I want that tard to be penalized when he pooches me, not the other way around.

I look at killshooter as forced and instant remorse.

The one and only time I went PNG in AW:

6) I torpedoed a ship. Those unfamiliar with AW ... ships were stationary. Really easy to torpedo. Problem was. If there were friendlies vulching it .... boom! My torp hit the ship and blew up 2.

I used to give Mage pure hell about that. Torpedo and bomb png. Resulted in one of my macros being "WARNING! TORPEDO IN WATER! CLEAR MY FUGGIN TARGET!"

Killshooter works. Really ... it does.

Lotsa posts on this thread plus the previous threads with its posts about the same subject. All complaints and thoughts about how it should be aside, doesn't the total number of threads about the subject tell anyone who cares to think about it, that something might be wrong?

Lets say there are 1000 people who voice an opinion because of the effects of the current system. If the player base is 3000 then a full 1/3 of the group of paying customers is saying, "hey, what's up with this?" If it's 4000 then it's still a full 1/4 of the players that feel strongly about the subject one way or another.

Kinda makes ya wonder.

how many people gripin about getting killshot have their tracers off? Turn em back on might help you avoid it. Otherwise make the kill or get out of the way!

What does having tracers being on or off have to do with someone flying through you into your bullet stream? If they're gonna do it then that's what they're gonna do.

DamnedRen,

A lot of us who like killshooter don't really post in these threads anymore because A) we're tired of arguing the point, B) we trust HiTech to keep killshooter and C) people with complaints are always far more likely to speak up than are satisfied people at a rate of about ten to one.

Don't take your thread as some sort of poll on the like or dislike of killshooter.

DrDea · « **Reply #40 on:** October 13, 2004, 03:42:27 PM »

lets not also forget the AW jagoffs that would sit on a runway and drop bombs killing all who spawned with no PNG.Pay attention.Thats the only way you can avoid these situations.

Which is exactly my point. If people with complaints are far more likely to post then you are hearing from those people who are posting. If that excedes 1000 post then it should be a wake up call to those who run things.

A poll is not required the posts are a poll.

DamnedRen,

Your logic isn't logical. You're making up numbers.

There is not, and never has been a clear majority of anti-killshooter players who post when compared to the number of players who post to defend it.

Basically, it isn't going away and is, in many people's opinions, the best solution to the problem. HiTech's post in this thread should have let you know that. It isn't going away.

... I don't think so. While SA is the act of being aware of everything around you, I don't think it implies I have to worry about the farging cherry picker camped 4k above waiting for me to burn this guys E state to nothing.

As long as your talking about "SA". What you say has just as much to do with "SA" as does the guy 2k under you, or the guy 1k behind you.

Your heads gotta keep moving or your plane wont keep moving.

Not logical? Making up numbers?

It should be pretty simple to go back over the number of posts related to this issue and figure out just how many posts have been sent. Get the total and divide it by the number of subscribers and voila.
The question might be better asked if it excedes what percentage number does it mean there might be a real problem. 10%? 25% 35%?

This thread as well as others concerning killshooter have been posted. I don't decide what HT does or does not do. However, I raise the concern that there may be many folks who are disatisfied with the current system. Because you happen to like the current system doesn't mean others do.

He who doesnt heed warnings may have to accept the consequences. LOL! I came from a Company where many people said," We make money in spite of ourselves". Guess what? I think we didn't and our Company was bought out. After 16 years with the Company who bought us out guess what people are saying? "We make money in spite of ourselves".
