What Canaris fails to point out in his whine...err I mean post is that the reason why Bishops were 15k+ over their own base is the majority of attackers were coming in at 20k or higher.

Nice try though Canaris, keep on whinin' :c)

ack-ack

Oh My, gone are the days of good pilots .... whining furballers, thats what you meet today in the MA

alright, the one thing i would like to get out of this...
why do folk grab to 15k+ just to dive to deck once engaged? there seems to be defenders of this in this thread, so im guessing some do this. what is the point really?

15k ain't high, on saturday against hte rooks around A205/A199 15k was deck alt, rarely to find any rook that low even over their own fields.

Usually they went up to 24+k, was quite funny almost all knights just flew in at low alt without being disturbed by the set up hi alt defense.

Here is something to naw on that I find comical and has been whined, posted about, teeth gnashed, text fights over, etc to near no end.
OK, so you wash, polish up and fuel your favorite ride and head out to find a "fight".
Base X and Y seems to be having a go by the looks of the dar bars. You level out a 5K mean and lean with all the "excess" weight trimmed. (Well maybe you are 12 or so OZs over prime , but that aint going nowhere for nobody

)
So , here you are at 5K , 10 miles out from your base X, when 10K above you , you see . Your set and ready with hands on the throttle and stick.......but wait...the dweeb aint coming down to fight, but instead continues on. Sheeeeesh what a timid dweeb! Not but one thing for a macho ace , such as yourself to do. Get on 200 as fast as you can and start the " Where you going you #$##@ CS " . Immediately follow this with a tirade on 200 including insults and be sure to include at least one mention of the pilot of family`s tree.
Log off, come to the BBS and post a whine about the incident, getting as close to the edge of posting rules as possible.
Here`s a hint brain surgeon. In most cases the pilot of was not out for a Sunday afternoon cruise, nor to make all your Pappy Boyington fantasies come true. He was more than likely loaded with various heavy explosive devices intending to do a little landscaping at the base you had just left from.

that is not bad jackal, i would expect a ord laden plane to go to target, i know i do. but, i dont like the 10k+ con directly over own base to dive into a furball on the deck that is 2k from his base. you dont need that kinda alt to BnZ that low alt furball. if you gonna take time to get up there, at least fight the guys coming in co alt with ya.

ahh to each their own i guess.

Exactly!!! High-Alt fights are some of the best. Very little margin for error up high. Takes some skill to do well up high where planes perform poorly, down low all planes manuever well, it's not nearly as hard.

Geee, we know what happens from there, both end up higher then we started.

This has a domino effect, goes something like this. for this example , we'll use the name, Ross and Ross is a rook .. Bob and Bob is a bishop. Ross is asked by a fellow rook "hey how high are the bish over there Ross says, oh they are not that high about 4k , Bob is asked by a fellow Bish , hey how high are the Rooks , Bob says, oh about 5k , because of the scenario discribed above. Everyone ends up going a little higher and higher etc... Then Ross and Bob say the same thing at the same time to each others country " those freaking "Bish" "Rook" are alt monkeys better get high. then boom your at 15k +- lmao!!! Oh and not to leave out anyone , the knights are saying the same exact thing too!!!

Its funny as hell to see all countries, say the same stuff, about the other countries . When All the countries do the same things.
No Countries are exempt from nutton, there Ho'ers, alt monkeys, B&Zers , Runners, La7 drivers, good guys, bad guys, whiners, criers, kings and queens too many to mention in all the countries Funny stuff!!!!

Hey its all good, I've went afk to answer the phone and by the time i got back i was 35k in a spit. I could just imagine the talk by the rook base i was over, bet i started a alt increase any didnt even mean too. Its lonley at 35 k S!

Yup, we used to call this the 'altitude arms race' phenomena in Airwarrior, noone wants to be on the bottom of a dogpile.

(Except mars01 and Slapshot apparently )

so why does every con i encounter at "high alt" - i *do* wander up to 15-20k - end up simply running for the deck/help/ack?

i find the guys at "alt" to be no more skilled than those found lower - it's just the higher guys are the ones who are usually unsure of their abilities (or sure in that they suck) and only use that alt as an escape hatch.

There is no implied skill with altitude. Just alitude, which is self justifying in air combat.

ROFL.

Got this far, declined to read the rest. At least I got a smile.

Wah...fly my way... wah wah wah

I usually fly bombers...usually its pretty easy to get bombers over a target, say 15k-19k and very seldom (until last night) would anyone even try to stop you. Finally, I had some good opposition and even had a few countrymen fly cover for me to get in and out.

Dear God! Come to think of it, it lead to some good teamwork, communication, people called other's sixes and a good time was had by all

This is an outrage!
