Anything doin' with the ditch model?
« on: December 06, 2004, 12:47:20 AM »
I'm just not getting this... wasn't this way in AH1 was it?  I've lost at least 5 kills to guys with no wing, on fire, hitting the ground soft enough to get a ditch....

At least twice it was after a good fight, and nothing is more disheartening than coming out on top of a great fight, lighting the guy up, pull away as he is wingless and on fire, only for him to crashland and survive.  I'm in a serious slump here and need all the kills I can get!  :D

Please... any updates on this?

I pass by there on my way home and back (I live in Homewood). I have a few friends that go there and I went there to do some shots for my 21st birthday (we were going to surrounding towns and drinking)


I'm quite lost on what BFE stands for

You know as well as I do, if other cons are in the area, they are closing in on you, you've just got plenty of hits on the guy you were chasing, his wing breaks off and he falls away...  now you turn to deal with the other cons engaging you only for the guy you shot up to get a ditch.  In this situation that type of mentality doesn't work.  :)

BFE is a term you use to describe you are in the "boonies".  I won't get into what the letters stand for =)   But I do live in Champaign...  Good bars here =)
