Not that I'm not used to being in a shot up 38G, but just the same.....

It was after getting HO'd however so I didn't feel bad that he didn't get the kill.

I keep the guy in the bottom image in mind whenever I'm in that spot

yesterday i shot down a A8 his wing fell off.

So i went for another victim guess what some dork stole the kill.

The fw was no danger and on the way down still it got 2-3 bishdorks tring to kill it.

Just wonder how bad is killstealing in rook and knitland.

Planes with a missing wing or tail cannot land.  If he was able to land, you did not do enough damage to deserve a kill.

I've managed a number of lands/ditches with a missing wing. As long as you were low and relatively level when you lost the wing you can use rudder to keep you stable enough to land.

I don't like to think of it as denying someone a kill. It's more that I'm trying to save the life of my little pilot dude.

If you EVER become half the man that young kid in the cap is, you can say you've accomplished something.

As 4 AH pilot ethics this can be summed up in 2 ways.  There are those that pay $15 to play a WW11 combat sime or there are those that pay 25 Cents.  Unfortunatly 25 cents ethics dominate.

Actually, the loss of pilots had a much larger effect on the war than the loss of planes. Once all the aces had been shot down it became a turkey shoot on the noob's.

Can you plz explain the 25 cents thing? I know it's early and I havn't had my coffee yet but that one went over my head. Thanks

Is that supposed to mean something?

Yes. The day you figure it out you will be well on your way.

From my understanding, I take it you don't know me or even that young kid in the picture, so how can you even make that assumption?

Honor is having respect for others and letting your virtual guns do your talking.

Respect is something earned but cannot be given until you have some for yourself. I know your kind and make the assumption from the fact that you thought it 'cool' to post that picture.

I don't have to know the kid in that picture I've know many like him. My oldest son has CP. I guess it all boils down to experience of which you have none. A little growing is in order.

I guess your right about one thing: I don't have much experience with a certain type of being, but, I do have enough to know that advice, from stereotypical people, are generally worthless.

A little growing is in order.

Once again, thanks for the unnecessary advice. I had no idea that my "kind" needed to continue growing. Here's a bit of obvious advice for you: stay alive!

On a humble and iterative note, what exactly do I not know about your child that would make you say I need to become half the man he is? I can understand if you do not wish to discuss his secret, but I ask you with a natural curiosity, so that I gain this experience for my escape from a recently advised ignorance.

Sorry but you seem to be a waste of my time. You are the victim of a reprobate mind. Revel in your ignorance, you will go far.

I wouldn't be wasting your time if you never put upon yourself the responsibilty of explaining to me what you said and why. You took the chance, expected me to know, and found yourself to be wrong. Explain or be left explained.

I can assure that your morals are unlike mine, but I am confident that is no different from anyone else you have met.

There is, in my opinion, nothing wrong with ignorance. I am ignorant, but also curious, and will publicly profess it. Infact, it would be unnatural otherwise.

paul, you obviously posted something that offended a parent of a child with c/p.

you really have three options at this point.

1.apologise (the good option)

2.drop it (not as good)

3.continue on as you are (really poor taste)

come on Paul, this is pretty easy one.  Option one would show some class, but please at least pick option 2.  This has gone on far 'nuff.
