most likely no ammo followed shortly after by no gas.  :D

ammo? i doan need no steenkin' ammo!!  but i sure do need fuel.

i learned awhile ago, dont sweat the losers.  they are just that.  some people just don't understand the point of a game is to have fun.  winning is fun, and in the virtual world even losing should be fun; though of course not as fun as winning.  just be glad your not associated with a guy like this.  i think i'll look up to see if he's in a squad, just curious what squad tolerates this behavior.

c, ooh, cks. if you are that upset,  petition the squad leader Dace.  maybe he would like to know.  from my view, everone should be accountable for their bahavior, and the actions of one reflects upon the squad.

easy,
 in attack mode battle some buildings with .50 cals
 in fighter mode up a hurricane 1 with ya .303s, set converg to about 400, sneak up on a bomber with you having about around 3k alt on them, kill your engine, line up whilst diving, at 450 yds open fire and turn engine back on, at 100 yds cease firing and go evasive so ya don't ram it. dive away and rtb.

repeat and rinse as necessary.

enjoy ;-)

I agree Rank doesn't mean squat. Even fighter Rank to me doesn't mean much either. I am by far not a great pilot. I am ranked this tour 50 over all. Why? not because I am going around hitting strats and crap. It's because I do a little bit of everything the game has to offer. I am ranked 215 in fighter. If i did 200-400 fighter sorties a month I would probably get alot better fighter rank. It's not just about how good you are. In getting a good rank in any catagory there are many variables to it. (Hit percentage, k/d ratio, points...ect)

Once you have played this game awhile, people here just know by reputation who is a good stick. I don't understand how people could ever think rank has anything to do with how good a player is in this game. Whether it be Overall Rank or a specific catagory. Bottom line is, most know who the good sticks are, rank or not.

As for the HO thing...it happens...no since in complaining about it. I have sat here time and again and read a guys post about being HO'd and not 30 min before I was HO'd by that same person in the game. It cracks me up. Basically as someone else stated. They just get upset when they Lose the HO.

Sorry Vad ... my apologies ... it might help to put my your country in the "location" line in your profile ... it does help (at least me) when trying to understand the context of a post.

Your "english", I have to say, is better than some who post on this board, and they were born and brought up in the USA.

What does rank mean?
« Reply #68 on: January 01, 2005, 09:06:47 AM »
Batfink fighter rank this tour: 71
Leviathn fighter rank this tour: 1000+


we fly the same plane mostly.

my rank is over 10 times 'better'.

He is over 100 times better at flying than me.



work out for yourself if rank shows anything about pilot skills.


S!

Dieaz...

What you fail to understand is that the straight & level targets (like buffs) are the ones I CAN'T hit!!!! :)

ohhh ok, I see now.   my guess is, you are using a cannon armed ride. cannons are bad about throwing your plane around when you fire.

.303s doesn't toss your plane around much when you fire them.

a heavy plane with .303s fast velocities and fairly flat trajectories.
work well for hitting a target.

this is to get hit % up, not for killing the buff. sometimes you'll get lucky and kill a buff with .303s

if you gotta have a plane with more than .303s, try a P-40e.
P-40e works fairly well too. it has .50s and .30s cals.

if you want to,catch me in MA, we can go to TA. I'll fly a buff and let ya target practice on me.

Cannons?? I don't use no steenkin' cannons. Heavy plane? Does a P47 qualify? I have NEVER been able to hit targets flying straight. Now deflection shots....those are a piece of cake.
