 I might be impressed if he could do the same thing in AH.

TC ... that wasn't me. I never ever dueled in AW, never record anything, and never went to FighterTown. Could have been someone with a similar handle; DocDoom for instance - especially if it was in a Fw.

Urchin ... you already made your "impression" quite clear in the opening post of this thread. I doubt that someone with your obvious limitations could understand the way someone such as myself plays this game.

Oh, I doubt that DoK... from what I understand you were a fairly timid Bore N Zoom type in whatever game you used to play.. I don't doubt that you've remained the same here.  That is fine, to each his own.  Actually, as long as you are actively trying to kill whoever you are bore n zooming, I wouldn't even have a problem with that "style" of fighting.  Most people realize they can't shoot well enough to Bore N Zoom someone who knows they are there, so they wait till their "target" gets into a fight with 3 or 4 or X number of other planes before diving in to cherrypick.  

If you "fight" that way I've got no respect for you.  The other Rooks probably think you are a pretty hot stick though.

Your respect is even more worthless than your festering existence.

What's even sadder is that you've let your narrow-minded edicts infect the CT forums - where the last thing that's needed is reason for people not to fly there. You gripe about rotten gameplay and then undermine a group of people trying to provide a better alternative. Well done.

Then for sure it wasn't me ... I hardly ever flew the Tvrd-He-Ate in AW.

I did used to do real-time-chat training sessions, though, on the thinking aspects on the game. That was in the real dark ages of the game, though - before the AWTA even.

Hum.. you seem to be taking this a little more personally than I had intended.  

Let me just get this out in the open.. as of now.. you mean absolutely nothing to me.  You are a mouth (granted, a big one) on the BBS.  I don't really have opinions about people on the BBS.. I form my opinions on people given how they "fly" in the MA.  So, a timid Bore n Zoomer in the MA gets a check in "worthless opinion" box.  

I've never fought you.. odds are pretty good I never will.  We probably move in slightly different circles in the MA.  

As far as my "narrow minded edicts" infecting the CT forums.. I don't really understand what you mean.  I don't post there very often, when I do it is typically about a setup.  If there are people in there that agree with my that timid gangbanging Bore N Zoom girls aren't much fun to fly against... I don't much think it was my "narrow minded edicts" that caused them to formulate that opinion.  

Do you still suffer from the common teenage delusion that the world revolves around you?  People can't sleep at night because you hold a low opinion of them?  Hell... tommorrow I'll have trouble remembering who you are.. sorry to burst your little bubble.

Teenage? Geezuz are you way off.

Your recent crap in the CT forum revolved around how the BnZ Allies would make the current set up no fun against the IJA. Yeah, lets go stall fight against Ki-84's and Zekes in a F4U-1 ... brilliant. The Allied players should obviously play away from the strengths of their planes and into the strengths of yours. Get real.

And you have the same brand of dung here. Anyone who doesn't play your way "represents everything bad about the game." Now *that* is childish.

Get a clue ... whoever has altitude controls the fight ... period. If you're outnumbered and low, you're in trouble ... if you're outnumbered and high, you can successfully engage superior numbers. This has *nothing* to do with ruining the game ... that's how the air war was fought ... that *is* the game ... otherwise why even have more than 1 kind of plane. We've had some pretty fun fights above 15K the last couple weeks - so obviously someone other than Rooks is climbing - I guess your team mates are worthless too, huh?

And I hate to burst your bubble further but some of the most valuable people in this community probably get a check in your "worthless opinion" box.

NOT necessarely in a 1v1 against a lower but better climbing and faster plane.

dam guys.

Urchin, you know your a good stick. I know your a good stick. Alot of people know your a good stick. Why try and argue that fact with someone who doesnt give a chit? It aint worth the time you spend typing it out bro.

Lookit ...

When ENY came out there was a lot of discussion afterwards. One of the themes which came out of that was that the attitude and gameplay in the MA was poor and only the players could really change that.

Then that spawned a side discussion about how the CT was a viable option. Again - players trying to improve the quality of play in a creative way.

I saw Urchin's comments as destructive. It's one thing to say that BnZ pilots maybe aren't as skilled as the TnB's - and we could debate that forever. It's quite another to say that people who use a perfectly legitimate and well documented set of A2A tactics "represent everything bad in the game." And then to further isolate one group of people on top of that, when everyone knows that people on *all* sides are doing the same things. That kind of commentary helps nothing.

The TnB v. BnZ debate has been going on since AW first introduced the concept of physics to the game around 1988 some time (we didn't have it the first year). It's a debate that will never die - nor should it - so who cares. What really bothered me was singling out valid style of play and a third of the player base as "representing everything bad in the game."

Again ... the dumb thing is that in principle Urchin and I probably agree on most of what's wrong with the MA.

It always amazes me that people think you can judge a persons skill by some imperical means.

K/D, K/S, K/T???  Just numbers. :rolleyes:

The only numbers I care about is my personal K/D and hit percentage.  Hopefully they are getting  better as time progresses.

I couldn't care spit what your numbers are.  What I do care about is whether you are on my 6 or my 12 :D
