What's your problem T-Bolt? Ever since some of us left the =Ghosts=, you have been anything but civil with those people.

:lol  

You're talking to ME about civility?  :rolleyes:

FYI - you showoff - I've been more than courteous to everyone that has left the Ghosts.  I challenge you to present one  written post or sound byte that shows otherwise.  You, on the other hand, have always bothered me - especially when you jump in on someone's 1-on-1 in the DA or whine on the range channel in the MA or ***** at a fellow squaddy (a respectful teenager, I might add) for stealing that kill that would have finally put your precious K/D at 1 billion to 1...as if anyone gives a damn.

Hold the wire TBolt, you seem to be somewhat confused.

It's easy to deny the behavior on the =Ghost= message board when it's been deleted..... And that behavior came from just two =Ghosts=, you and Roscoroo. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. There was no animosity on my behalf when I left, it was just time for a change. In fact, it was overdue. I prefer a different style of gameplay.

I do recall your snotty attitude when several of us left. You know why we left, we all had differing reasons. As to showing one other example, well just look at your comments here. It was sufficiently obnoxious that HiTech had to edit it.

Besides, what you appear to be saying is that it's okay to steal a kill from me and I shouldn't have complained, but it isn't okay if I evaporate the guy you're jousting with, who is not even damaged.

I don't get it, our new squad and the =Ghosts= are not only polite to each other, we frequently fly and work together should we find ourselves in the same area.

Maybe you don't care for my over-aggressive style. Maybe you don't care for the fact that I'll speak my mind and not candy coat my opinion. I'm sorry that offends you, but get used to it, it's not going to change.

Your original post asked if the Mossie's gun were slow. No, they're not slow. In fact, this is probably the deadliest gun set in the game, but only if you actually hit what you are aiming at. Like the P-38, it's all or nothing, you either miss or you vaporize the target. Practice with the Mossie, you can't rely on the scatter effect you get with wing mounted guns. You need to be more precise. It's not unusual for people who rarely fly planes with nose mounted guns to need some time to adjust to the concentrated bullet stream, and the view forward in the Mossie isn't very good either.

Here's a trick some guys use effectively. In the forward view from the cockpit, zoom in using the Z and [ ] keys. Place the mouse cursor dead center on the gunsight pipper. Raise you seating position up higher for a better view, about midway between the glass framing. The cursor will go up with your head position. Now hit F10. That cursor is your new gunsight. Just don't move the mouse again. Yeah, it's a bit gamey, but it works.

Drop by the TA on Saturday evening. I'll be happy to provide a target so that you can get the feel for those guns in an environment where you can ignore everything else.

And it's easy to accuse me of wrong doing without having the burden of proving yourself.  I've never criticized anyone who has left...even Hammer, who disbanded the squad and ran away in a huff without warning.  I respect his decision to leave (everyone's decision to  leave); no hard feelings have ever been harbored by me.

I've flown along side some of the Sky Pirates since their departure.  To accuse me of being uncivil towards them - or anyone - is nothing more than an empty accusation.

I won't bother to bring my post into this board, but if you interpret my comments as snotty, it's probably because you yourself are used to seeing things from that point-of-view.  I wonder why?  lol

You need new reading glasses, sir.

It's not right for a kill to be *INTENTIONALLY* stolen.  However, it is even more unjust for an older member of the community, like yourself, to yell at a respectable, young member of the community for a simple mistake.

You must have confused my instance with someone else's.  I was finishing a duel with a squaddy, & you had the nerve to drop in with a high fighter and shoot me down.  "Just droppin' in to give you a little kiss..." was your explanation.  
:rolleyes:  Care to apologize?  It's never too late.


I've heard of that gamey tip before.  And, thanks for the invite.  But, I'll respectfully decline.

I see you have forgotten the comments posted when Hammer attempted to explain his decision on the =Ghosts= BBS....

But that doesn't matter any longer, does it.

I like how you make it sound like just two guys were dueling and I dropped in a smacked you. Nice try at adjusting the facts....

THE WHOLE SQUAD WAS FURBALLING! Everyone was shooting at everyone else. I'd pop someone and they'd be back in a few minutes with altitude. Then I would have to evade their attack. Everyone was getting bounced. I guess I didn't realize that you thought you should have been exempted.... Damn TBolt, did I hurt your delicate feelings? Next time, watch your six....

"The nerve of that guy to shoot me down when I wasn't paying attention!" LOLOLOLOL

Apparently, you've forgotten the fact that my opponent and I were the last 2 remaining pilots left in Round 1.  Therefore, the fight was only between the two of us.  The rest of you - yourself included - had launched for Round 2, a separate match, in a different aircraft.

You'll win no points, Wide.  And, I'm ready to just mute you on the AHBB just like I do in the MA.

Good day.

I don't recall it that way. I do recall you whining often, but what else is news? You've been whining here for three days.

If you felt so hurt, you had a remedy. Why didn't you ask for a match to redeem your wounded manhood? Hey, you still have a remedy! Go for it!
