ROE

there are rules of engagement here?

I am with Dan/slack/Tiff on the :

It seems like there was a time where folks looked for the even fight. Radar and dar bars sent folks heading for the spot where the bad guys were, not where they were not.

Some of us are here for the shear enjoyment we get out of having basically even fights, Dan was not talking even as in co-alt/co-E/ duel type fights, least I don't read it that way.
I read it as even being 1 to 1, or 2 to 3 ,or 1 to 2 ,or  2 to1, or 3 to 4 type even fights 1 side may be a smidge higher or lower than the other, but not 10K and massively outnumbering the opposing team.  To me that is pure boredom and annoying, where is the fun in that type of action..........it's like monkey see monkey do nowadays in the MA ( actually has been that way for sometime since alil while back before AH1 switched over to AH2.......VOD syndrom set in for some. Then it started playing that Merle Haggard song rolling down hill, some of you know what I mean.

as we travel further along in life all this will change, maybe for the better but probably for the worst, (at least in the old old players minds), the new guys will  think that is how things are and accept them.

I refer everyone to 2 quotes by 2 of my squadmates

DmdChief: "Have the courage to step up and lead, and the public will follow."

NB : " If it ain't fun don't do it"

Exactly TC ,  some folks just don't get it.

I second TCs statement.

Never ever HO, because HO sucks.
This is ofcourse allways true, exept if the enemy is in a JET...
262 are JET planes, and they are very very fast.
There might also be other planes that are JET planes.
If unsure if the enemy is in a JET plane or not, then its ok to HO.
Also if you can see, and be 100% sure, that the enemy plane is NOT a JET, then its also ok to HO.

PS.
I dont like HO.

for once i think you've swung off the mark urchin

the majority of times ive flown with and agaist the JBs they have flown with the same passion as any other reckless lonny.

ive upped from capped fields with 42, 73, 71....infact most of em (cant remember the damn numbers)

Burnout comes not from honourable ROE, it comes from a lack of creativity from the individual.

you make the game what it is, nobody else is to blame if you're not having fun.

theres plenty of decent folk still playing every day.

my personal ROE:

never HO, even after the 'merge'.

i often get beaten after the first immleman on a merge with a decent stick because i refuse to go striaght for that second merge HO.

fly how you are, and be who you are in the air, on the ground, at sea, whatever.

If you are a tard then be a tard.

if you're not, then dont complain that someguys are honest enough to admit 'I am a skilless tard'.

just have fun.
