Nothing better than a jousting around in a furball with a 110. Totally mindless and skill-less, but oh so darn fun!

When will you people learn that ... nor does it entitle you to PM somebody with that kind of message.

Complete BS! Only rank means something, all that whines about how great you are mean nothing.
Considering ACM and 1v1 fight results as a measure of fighter pilot skills is exactly the same as hiring a programmer who is better formatting his code regardless of quality of this code. ACM is just one, and not the most important, part of pilot skills. Rank is not the best way to compare two pilots but at least it is much better than 1v1 fight results on DA.

I shot down Pacerr a few times and got the same kinda responses. I just don't really give a damned. I enjoys it.

This is sarcasim, right?

If not, perhaps you should look over the list Slapshot put together, eh?

And if you're not being sarcastic... What on earth is a more important pilot skill (in this game, *not* real life) then ACM? SA? I think not. Hell, SA's the easy part - I've got great SA:

* I know I'm flying into trouble
* I know I'm getting ho'd at
* I know I'm getting gangbanged
* I know I'm getting cherry picked

If you think about it, that's all there really is to SA in the MA.

Some people are just used to playing on the sony playstation with there mommy, and she always let them win. so what can ya say. It's really Sad, that it bothers some of these people enough they feel the need say anything, to anyone using pm or open channel. Its Funny also that its not always the score potatos, some of these whiners ranks really suck. The good thing is there is not alot of whiner types . yeh!

Most of us mind our own business, have fun, fly like we want, enjoy a good HO here and there, good turn fights, all that stuff. And never say a rude word to anyone. Its Vicious cycle! ( up-fly-die)-reup-fly-land-reup- Infinity.<---- expect one of those always.

Don't Ho?

navajoboy · « **Reply #36 on:** December 31, 2004, 07:00:11 AM »

ok so i was wrong about the whole Rank thing.... lol

.. i guess another thing could be just plan old stress... if youve been HOed 4 or 5 times in a row.. dont you just want to "kill" someone.. or rather complain about it. I found myself kinda complaining to someone last nite about being HOed. I did because i realized that everytime ive seen his handle was after an HO. so he got me a few times in the HO.. but guess what.. ive got him on the HO also.

also lastnite as i was flying around a CV that had alot of cons that would attempt to HO. Its funny to dodge 6 HOs in a row and turn your spit completely around and the same 6 are coming back for the HO again.

I guess what im trying to say is .. alot of things could factor into why pacerr said the things he said. I myself im rather surprise with that image. I really dont see pacerr as a person that would do such a thing. But in the moment of time ... with 6 HO's in a row.. ill say something also.

Maybe we should have pacerr explain it from his side of the story.

Other players are squelchable. I’m sure SP4DE knows how to squelch. The point is....He never had reason to squelch paccer4 up to this point. Sure he can squelch him after the fact, but the comment has already been made. This usually results in anything from no more comments at all from either party, all the way to full blown potty mouth arguments.
The solution to this problem to this problem is very simple and has been requested at least dozens of times right here in the BBS.
A permasquelch list would solve such a problem.
Not sure why we don’t have one as of yet.
I’m sure HTC would hope that the parties of such exchanges would kiss and make up.
I personally think a permasquelch list should be an option that the players can utilize BTW....that list is to include the same side as well.

ROFLMAO Good one

All you guys have to be kidding right? This HO thing is all in your heads.
1st of all you can’t head on someone in less you are going head on with them right?
And maybe you missed the shot and they didn’t? witch makes you the same as them. And if you are not going to take a shot
Than way would you fly head on at a plane that you can collide with? And if you don’t collide with them than it was a very good slight deflection shot. Have hit many of planes with a quick rudder movement putting my nose guns on them.
If you are someone that never takes a HO shot than you shouldn’t get hit by them ether if you no ACM.

IMO when Defending a base all is fare even this so called HO. Hell if I could turn of there PC power from home I would do it just to save the base LOL. That is the object right? Save the base it’s a game. As far as all the channel type it will never stop there are too many brainless or immature people for this. Especially in the virtual world where they are so brave talking to someone safe at home. Let them try it at a LAN party or at the AH convention lol see what happened than. They will grow up real fast.

My 2 cents and thanks for this entertainment guys it’s great.

Vad ... you truly are confused or just haven't learned yet.

All those guys that I listed (and there are more that I didn't list) can fight "1 v 1" and "1 v many" and come out on the winning end more than not. Now ... if they chose to strap on some bomb and go blow up STATIONARY buildings, or hop into a PT and spawn in front of a town and lob some rockets in, they would be ranked in the top 10 easily. These guys have the WHOLE package, where some only have 1/2 the package, yet think they are the cats bellybutton cause they have a low rank . A majority of those that are ranked low couldn't find their arse with both hands when forced to fight.

Here's a few more to add to the list ...

Urchin (rawr)
ManeTMP
Xtremej
Kappa
Fester
Stang
Morpheus (If he flew)
DmdDano
DmdCoach

If all of those who do have the "WHOLE" package decided to go for low rank, most who think they are all that, would find themselves not being listed at all on the rank page.

Tour 41 (about a year and a half ago) I ranked #10 for this tour. After aquiring this rank and taking a look at my WHOLE package, it became quite obvious to me that RANK MEANS watermelon ... I still had a long way to go and still do.

Again ... read my lips ... RANK MEANS watermelon !!!

navajo ...

If you have been HOed 4 or 5 times in a row, then you really need to take a look at your approach to fighting and change it ... immediately. If this is the case, then you are the cause of your own angst ... not the guy who shot you.

Granted, some HOs are unavoidable when in close fighting happens in a furball, but if there is time (and there should be) 99.99% of HOs can be avoided.

This game is a stress reliever and adrenalin high for me. If the game is causing the stress that pushes one to send these types of private messages, then that person's approach to this game is all wrong IMHO.

Me, at number 23 overall thought I'd check my fighter score and lo and behold, im at 64...and here I thought I sucked. Oh, I still do...but I have come along way.

Please, send MORE dweebs!!!

SlapShot, I agree with you 1000%. What really worries me is,
what'll happen with TOD. If these "clueless wonders" get the
rank, then we have to follow them. Or did I misread how TOD is
going to be.

From what I remember at this years con ...

Higher ranking pilots will be able to accept positions such as flight lead, but they will not be able to change the major thrust of the mission.

So, if you sign up for fighter cover, you will have to remain with the bombers ... you can't fly away and decide to do something else. The flight lead will get to assign things such as covering different altitudes for the bombers, but thats just about it.

If you are bomber lead, you may get to assign the sub-targets to your wing, but you can't change the mission target.

HT is quite aware of the "Napoleans" and they will not be able effect the already scripted missions ... thats what we were told.

Bottom line ... If you check the missions and see who the filght lead is and you don't have confidence in the flight lead ... then choose another/different mission.
