Too true for the most part. But, until they bring the Battle Group up to full numbers and include every gun and ship and organised missions as per real life, then we are where we are and nothing will really change.

If I recall correctly, the odds of being shot down by friendly fire was almost at the same level as from the enemy and if the enemy planes showed up at the same time as you were taking on friendly aircraft, I don't think there would have been a whole lot of hesitation to open fire...Do you?

A few friendly planes shot down versus a carrier or carriers = fortunes of war and an acceptable loss.

Conversely, no fighter pilot worth his weight in sawdust is gonna dive into a full on barrage of 20mm, 40mm, and 5" air burst to kill 1 divebombing mook either.

I'd love to see killshooter added to guns, but I'd also love to have Tara Reid living in a pit in my basement. I'm guessing I'm gonna be waiting quite a while for either.

I'm guessing it is otto at work rather than manned ack, but I really enjoy the puffy ack shooting at me from 6 kilometers away while I am 200 feet AGL (yet above 3K seal level) behind a mountain (visibly obstructed) from the task force.

Manned puffy ack should have killshooter, when any friendly plane is hit too the gun is destroyed and the guy using it gets send to tower.

It might be interesting. Imagine the knits fighting the knits at their fields and the bish fighting bish at their fields and the rooks fighting rooks at their fields and no country fighting each other.

When I'm having a great furball and get popped by some dweeb in the 5 inchers, my first thought isn't "oh well, it happens". It's "That ******* is ruining this fight. If he wants to play games, it's time to sink the CV". And then I've got to waste even more time sinking it and looking for another decent fight. Ho de hum.

I recognize the need for 5 inch gunners, but I think they should spend more time shooting at JU88 formations otd, and less time trying to kill furballing fighters than are no threat to the CV group.

mechanic · « **Reply #37 on:** March 17, 2005, 09:58:50 AM »

the simple fact still remains:

it was a one on one with no other planes around.

and some maroon has fired 88mm at me and obviously done damage to both planes.

yet......only i take the hits....

stupid

To me, that's more like 'stupid' on the part of the one who shoots down the same guy over and over again near a CV, because anybody would know that getting shotdown again and again would be frustrating, and that guy would be jumping into a 5" flak and shoot at you.

And yet, people still linger around, and then get shot down by 5" guns, and then complain about it?

He is ubsolutly right. I mean, why are you in a fighter when the CV is 6K of your base? Why do you think they made diving LANCs? How about those guns on the top of the mountain? Why are you trying to meet that guy half way to between your base and the CV? Who is he going to vulch you if you do that?????

Learn how to play the game will you? HT does not encurage fighting in planes. Get over it.

PS. Glad to see people feel the same way about 5" crap. I posted the same "BS Whine" in a different forum (I think under game play) and did not get any support, just the regular abuse from HT and suckups

Become more and more confident that the greatest mistake I made when I started to read this board. When I came to AH for the first time I didn't know about this bbs, and sun was shine and grass was green! I had great fun HOing everybody, chasing alone enemy in company of ten friendlies, cherripicking, voulching, shooting from everything what can shoot, dive and low bombing, etc.

Now the bad times come. Instead of thinking about ACM and SA, I spend 90% of my flying time thinking about your whines.
"I can't kill that guy because it will be voulching!"
"****, I can't shoot because it will be HO!"
"I am so sorry for being distractive, woud you be so kind to tell me do you allow me to attack that guy who is sitting on your 6? Wouldn't you consider it as ruining your private party?"
"Oh my god, I can't drop bombs now, I am too low! I need at least 5000 feet, but I have just 4999."

My fun was gone.

Ok, now that dedalos brought up shore batteries, I have to say that I am all for them, and any coastal base should have at least 2. I'm not saying I want to ruin a good cv fight, but I hopped in one last tour for the first time in maybe a year and a half. Shot maybe 20 times trying to hit something, but I finally got that stupid boat. Was like throwing a bullseye in a darts game. Someone finally did sink that cv, but what happened next was SOOOOO stress relieving after a long day at work: PT Boats. Hundereds of PT Boats and LVTs. OMG, I plugged like 20+ pt boats with that enormous cannon, and I was smiling from ear to ear with satisfaction. Was like burning ants with a magnifying glass... simply fantabulous!

Well there is always Microsoft Combat flight simulator played on line. Endless furballs, no ack, air starts, no Ostis. Heck you could be a God in there.

Please don't tell me you are serious. If so, I'll see at the LA7-Fest 2005 Annual Celebration. This year we are allowing the folks in who only fly the Hurri2C and 110-g2 for their HO capabilities. The keynote speech will be given by a N1k driver who has reached his goal of a 1 K/D ratio by only attacking planes which are already engaged from a minimum alt. advantage of 4k. There will also be a How-To survival session for those of you who cannot release bombs from your lancaster without the detonation taking out two of your drones because you can't figure out the two step bombsight, so you released them from 300 feet.

Promises to be a great time.

However, if you are being sarcastic.. I found it funny, and I look forward to many more funny posts from you

Just quit reading the boards. The game allows you to fly any way you wish. Do it and have fun! Flying is fun...whining is not fun...unless yer the whiner. They may think its fun to whine cause they do it a lot. maybe if they flew more they'd whine less?

Oh yeah... well you can just go... ummm... I got nothin:p Do they have NoOKiES too??? Also, is HO enabled? That's my best ACM, I am the jousting king!!! That and my dive bombing lancs are something to fear. The enemy might get one of'em before I auger my remaining 2 lancs and their bombs into a FH. I heard that they can be used for level bombing? I think it's just a rumor though. And if barracks need taken down, I will take my tiffy 5 bases back if need be. I normally top those runs off with a vulch or 2 then die putting up a valiant fight against the ack! >>><<< ack, heck of a fight!:aok

[edit]: I like to whine!
