Your own ROE

[lasersailor184]

1.) If a country mate is on an airplane, I'll ask if he needs help.

2.) No HO's on the first pass.

3.) If I do hit you with a rocket mid air, I will laugh histerically and insult you for the rest of time.

[hammer]

The most common ROE as I see them:

I will not HO unless the enemy is in front of me coming right at me

I will not vulch unless I am over an enemy field when the enemy is taking off or landing

I will not fly a suicide dive-bomb mission unless I can blow up more outhouses on the field by totally ignoring everything else

I will not dive in on a 5 vs 1 (on the side of the 5) unless I am sure I can get the kill

I will not run from a fight unless I don't have a significant advantage

If I get shot down more than once in the best furball to happen in weeks, I will up a buff and destroy the enemy's fighter hangars

I will not shoot a plane going down in flames unless I am sure I can get enough damage into it to get the kill

Did I miss any?

RedTop has a very honorable starting point and I have to say that is where I start.

For the most part I don't ho, I think HOing just screams I can't fight so I will take the only shot I have, plus I would rather the thrill of a hard fought fight than the pwueny satisfaction of a kill via HO.

Now if I am defending a field or the guy I am fighting is a Bore N Zoomer then I will HO the bastig and put us both out of his misery rather than chase his running arse all over the map.


Normally I don't fly to vulch but if I up and no defenders come out to meet me and I am over the field I only vulch when it is the last resort ( I.e.  The rest of the greens are already there and vulching. )  If it is just me and another guy, I will let him up and give him some time to get to a point where he can fight.  If there are more than one I always go for the guys flying first.


The rest will die, that is all lol.

[JB73]

will not steal a kill from a squaddie

will not steal a kill from anyone

will HO at a vulched base to clear enemies (or attacking a CV to get the planes out of the air)

will not HO on normal merges

will not check six someone who earlier that night used me as "bait" in a fight (yeah i know SA.. whatever, in a light fight, and you are on the 6 of a plane, you look back 1 second and the enemy you are chasing evades)

will not strafe bulidings for non-squaddie when sortied as fighter

will call on vox if i am passing a friendly and might KS him going by

will double and tripple team an enemy to clear a squaddie

will HO shane if i know it is him

[Urchin]

I'm not trying to bust Redtop's chops, or anyone elses, I just think trying to hold yourself to any kind of standards causes burnout.

I know for me I got quite burnt out from being forced to either fly a Spit (to fight effectively X on 1) or an El gay (to run from X on 1s) instead of planes that I enjoy flying, or to fly in a horde like everyone else (which is somewhat unattractive option, at least for me).  

JB73.. only triple-team?  Wow.. every time I've run across the Jabores it's been as many Jabores as were in the air + whoever else they could talk into helping.  Way to go on restraining yourself lol.

never ever HO on the merge.
after merge all is fair.

That about sums it up.

[JB73]

first off i have to ask, why are you always a total dichweed to me and the squad i'm in?

berating someone to compensate for "inadquecies" it seems like to me.



anyway, what is wrong with helping a squaddie? squad always comes before country.

second we almost never request people come on an attack with us, if we are doing an organized attack with the squad some others like to follow along, and we are nto going to tell them to go away.

when there is 2-3 JB's online and no CO or XO, i can not dictate what they do where they fight or how they fight.

so unless you have a secret enemy ID icon mode, how do you know about there being tons of JB's in the area?

lastly, im sick of all this carp anyway, so today you join the illustrious ignore list.

goodbye

LOL Urchin, I'm already burnt out bud.

MA is stale and boring.  90% of the time I am either defending against high alt cons or flying into high alt cons.

Once in a while there are a group of enemy that don't need the Alt crutch and good figths ensue, then some hero comes in and drops all the hangers and it's back the fighting the high alt guys.

Maybe it's me.  I am hoping the cure will be the movement started this past Sunday where like minded people can get together and furball till we drop.  Kinda like the best of the AHII beta days

That sure seems to be the case lately.  I can't believe how high the bad guys always seem to be to me

I get bored spending all that time getting to alt just so I can come back down again.    And I always seem to find myself low and slow on the deck with way too many guys all shooting at me.

I've gotta take that 'shoot me' sign off my 38G

Mostly just because your squad flies like a bunch of ***** Girl Scouts, which irritates me.  

Oh.. and my "secret enemy icon mode" is shooting them all down...

[dedalos]

I will shoot anything that moves unless I am not the one that disabled the plane.  So, if we fight and I take your engine out, I will shoot you trying to ditch (watch the point anyway?  send you to the tower faster ).  If I find a disabled plane (that I did not disable) or out of ammo, I will break off the attack.  If I see you trying to land a perfectly good plane while I know you have seen me comming and you chose not to fight but try to crash land as fast as you can, you will be vulched.

Then there are the times where after being ganged and hoed repeatedly, I will up a 110 and HO everything on site but that does not happen often

[SlapShot]

I get bored spending all that time getting to alt just so I can come back down again

or when you finally get to alt ... they run away and grab more alt ... or they just flat out run away.

ROE ?

1st Rule ... shreckIN' ENGAGE YA BASTAGE !!!
2nd Rule ... SEE THE FIRST RULE YA TOOL !!!
3rd Rule ... NO HO ON THE INITIAL MERGE !!!

After that all is fair in love and war.

[killnu]

1st rule, watch grass grow as enemy runs away
2nd rule, go play with children as enemy grabs to 20k
3rd rule, come back in time to cause one overshoot, then repeat rules 1 and 2.

[wojo71]

R.O.E..  this is a war(game), rook vs bish vs knight:mad:  so you take any and every   opportunity to engage and destroy your enemy with what  tools and/or methods you have at your disposel ,while not dying yourself:D ................as far as
I know, nobody as never not fired me as I tried to land.
