Good! Puke your guts out! No one cares. You've made your BS opinions known to everyone. Get a life. Try and figure out no one cares what you think! And it has everything to "do with that". That's where you're missing the point.

I care what he thinks.

he has prooven to me that he is far superiour as a fighter pilot and for that i respect his opinons with regard to this game more than yours quite frankly.


being around for 12 years doesnt earn you any respect from me as far as virtual flying goes.

a noobie who schools me in DA will earn my respect far quicker.

I'm not saying i disrespect you or your opinions because you never fought me but i am saying i will disregard what you think should i choose to with concern to playing AH2.



you were earning my respect with your clean and thought out arguments until....

now you're being a hypocrite, if you cant see that then im shocked.


peace





Quote from schaden: "things you see on the bbs that make you go mmmmmm"


you fancy me or something?


instead of being smart arsed explain how my statement is incorrect.

would you say Wldthing or Leviathn have less intelect than you because they ACM fight and risk virtual death?

DA and MA/CT are quite different environments.
In DA you will go in single target focusing mode most of the times. In MA/CT you will fight multiple bandits while trying to defend your mates.

One thing that's improved my k/D alot is bailing out, even after being shot out of the sky a capture or successful bail isn't a death. If I'm shot to hell and being chased; bail. If I'm out numbered and it looks like I can't run; bail. Someone gets a cheap proxy kill and I don't get a needless death.

That is why I chute ALL shoots ...

That has to be the lamest tactic I have ever seen anyone admit to. Like Mars said, it only makes "score" more meaningless than it already is.

The second most incredulous thing in this thread is ren trying to defend that tactic ... under the guise of "it's his $14.95". BWHAHAHAH.

If yours wings are shot off ... then by all means bail ... but if you bail because you THINK your gonna lose, all in the name of "score" ... can't get more GHEYer than that.

You need to ask Lazs to explain "The Lazs Conundrum"  to you , it is an interesting puzzle.

k/d ratio?  gah!  easy enough to do simply by flying timidly.

I always though k/s, along with k/t, was a better indicator of one's overall effectiveness.

I don't think K/S and K/T are  related to effectiveness.

If you fly 10 min over an area where you kill  2 guys and then RTB after 10 min having totaled 30 min flight time and 2 kills
Just because there was no more enemy to kill.Are you less efficient than the guy Who just uped killed 2 guy and got killed ?

i r a grate intulect cause i am r0x0r in games!!!!11!!  like i see somtheng and than i kan shute it reel quik and stuff my reeflexsus are teh bomb!!!!!!!!1  bow down too me

Ren......

Lay it down man.  You are defending a guy who would rather bail than fight in a game that is all about fighting.

Resistance is futile....lol

1) I am very, very good at it, possibly the best in the game.

Doesn't bother me, just stating why I enjoy the Ostwind. Kicking bellybutton in an Ostwind is just as much fun in its own way as doing so in a fighter, at which I am equally adept.

Anyone else catch this?


Are you quite possibly the best fighter pilot in the game?

can only assume this is directed at me.


i am not saying AH2 is the be-all-and-end-all of lifes adventures, nor am i saying being good at flying virtual planes is worth anything.


i simply object to being called stupid and slow witted simply because i dont fly to stay alive the whole time.




and Nomak, great work, awesome observation


oooops, dont let me suggest that anything on a BB could relate to real life, infact you suck at observation, you are not the roxxor and never will be uberl337 super recon guy, this is just a game!!!11!! @ omg.

Time to frame this discussion in more realistic terms.  I think the two "sides" are talking past one another.

(1)  There is no correlation between furballing and low intellect.

(2)  There is no correlation between flying to live and cowardice.

One side wishes, whether actually historically correct or not, to fly in a certain manner that depicts their version of history.  This is an air combat sim with historically-accurate planes, so why not?  The other side feels that this is a game, and the point of that game is to fight enemies.  To that end, furballing provides the quickest and most enjoyable engagements.

Nobody is an idiot.  Nobody is a coward.  These are simply two completely different ways to frame how people approach the game.  Guys like Schaden may express disdain at low-flying Spits, but what he fails to understand is that these Spits fly a totally different kind of game than he does.  He cannot relate to what they enjoy just as they cannot relate to what he enjoys.

And that's that.

without meaning to continue bad vibes after this keen summary, i would like to make one thing clear as i may not have previously.

i was in no way saying flying to live was cowardly.

i was saying that someone in a debate as heated as this who refuses to test the theory in the perfect environment of the DA is behaving cowardly, as they are possibly affraid their argument may come unstuck.



carry on.

You're missing the whole point. It's a game. Who cares how good anyone is. Respect is earned though ones interaction with other people not how well someone can fire a gun in a game. When you begin to tell people that their chumps because they don't play the way you want them to then you have no respect for them and you can bet people around you are gonna wake and say your a putz.

being around for 12 years doesnt earn you any respect from me as far as virtual flying goes.

I don't particularly give a damn if you respect me or not. Reason being you have to earn my respect also. Until you do you're just some other dude trying to make a name for himself. I'm here play the game. My Squad has been around since 1987 . It's at least 70 strong in AH and many more in other games. Most of them have been trainers in a lot of games since the beginning of online fighter combat sims. They are here now, but not as trainers because they choose not to. The point is the Damned have been around as a squad for so long because we not only respect ourselves but those around us no matter what their skill levels. We don't ever say to anyone;"yer a chump cause you bail". Sorry but we aint that kinda players.

quote RE: stang: ".....you're BS opinons...."

now you're being a hypocrite, if you cant see that then im shocked.

Wake up and smell the coffee. If the kettle is black that's how I call it. Anyone who is so full of himself that he can call a newby a chump is doing nothing to help the game with his BS opinions other than to bolster his ego. I don't care who you are, at some point in this game you were a newby once trying to get your feet wet. I'm sure it woulda been nice for some ego inflated lard mouth telling you what a chump you are and you should go somewhere else. Right?

Well, why the heck do you think I'm a lawyer







not!:D

Seriously though. we actually mold noob's in the game. If you don't help someone learn to dogfight then he will fly bombers or tank all the time. I had 4 noob's up last night getting their sticks set up. We spent two hours making sure they had everything up and working. Then we spent another hour in fighters. If they get chance to learn correctly then they enter the MA with a will to dogfight and everyone has a good time. If they decide that bailing is a part of their game when they go down in flames, whats wrong with that? Remember this the only reason the Captain went down with his ship was because the lifeboat was full. 'Sides would you rather have a fun fight in the arena or just club baby seals? For someone to pick on guys for their game play style is only bolstering their own egos and nothing else.
