Ohh looks like I've ruffled the feathers of the AH vets who think they're cool.. lol time to circle the wagons, eh?
The "Blue Knights" motto is just neato, I mean really "salute your stick"... my eyes are tearing up at just how cool, profound and neat that is. I think I'll tattoo that on my apple.
I hate to tell you this but you're not flying a real airplane, sorry.
It's just a game, and to that end here's a clue that my limited intelect apparently didn't articulate clearly enough... although one of you got it; I'm laughing at you and how seriously you not only take yourselves, but this "game". Or to put it in the words of the dude who got it, I'm purposly yanking your collective chains...
And it's so easy, all I do is play this silly game the way I want while ignoring the self appointed AH vets and thier opinions.
But what the heck, for the sake of argument.. do you think a real combat pilot would conform to your philosophy?
Did Chuck Yager, who vulched and HO'd, bail out when he lost the advantage?, or did he die the AH vet way..
He bailed out and lived to fight another day... as a matter of fact I'll bet you will not find ONE real fighter ace that didn't turn tail and run like his asswasonfire when things didn't go his way. I'd like to see some gamer dork yammer about what a wuss move they made.
"But that was real life and death and this is a game".. exactly.
Perhaps that's how I like to "fly" these days?, I've done it the other way in other games.. the whole fight to the death thing.. but this game places a score emphisis on being killed, so I'm into staying alive this month. .. maybe next month as well.
So her's my motto this month "Catch me if you can"
I realize being an AH fighter ace is the closest many of you will come to being a warrior, but just try to keep in mind this is a game and you are a gamer..
You're not a General, not a fighter ace, not in charge, you have zero rank, you're not flying anything but your imagination and even if you're customer #1.. your opinions on what buttons I should push dont matter.
So oh darn, I guess I'll have to just live with not playing this game the way you think I should.. thankfully my life will go on.
And yes, killing the other plane is more fun, thats why I bail out before getting shot down.. I get a kick out of denying someone fun at my expense... they might have twisted, turned and worked hard to gain the advantage only to watch my chute. I'm an a-hole, but I have fun at it.
I wish there were chute skins, mine would read "LMAO"
