 Sorry. I read your post to there and felt you were heading for left field on this.

 Your assumptions are plain wrong.  I do not know what the strat targets are and (cover your ears) I could_not_care_less.  Well, unless a building battler goes and ruins the gameplay for those who are online for fighting against each other.  What would be the point to knowing anything about "strat" in the MA when I only pay-to-play in order to interact AGAINST other HUMANS in simulated "arial"  combat?

 Strat targets aka sheds aka outhouses don't move nor fight back. There is no war and futhermore there is no point to "land grab."   Other than to provide "fun" for those of lower ability and skill IMO.  For the attention deficit type who skreech on the country channel that players in his/her county are stupid and should be helping to win the war. The type who finally manage to "conquer" colored squares of pixels then go on channel 2 with a special olympics spazzfest textually master baiting each other for such a "good show.".

  To quote someone from many moons ago MA landgrab is a big hamster wheeel,    "eEEEeee ... eeEEeeee ...."  

 You enjoy it? Knock yourself out. Doesn't phase me much. That is until I have to read or hear players suffering from tourettes freak out because they are losing their self made "war."  
 And since I cannot perma-squelch these Napoleons I end up hostage to this shrill drivel aimed against others, such as myself, who are "wasting" our time dogfighting and generally having a good time "fighting" against people.



er, well I used to.  I found unsubbing worked well as a perma-squelch.


Taking your last line first.  You no longer play wtf is that about? You haven't even played AH 2 because channel 2 went out with AH 1.  

You're a stupid moronic D-head.  Get the hell outter here.  Go yahoo hoo kiddie screams.  You'll fit right in.  Oh man I wish you would subscrib again I'de show you Human on human.  Your arse would'nt stay in the air 2 freakin min.....

As for anyone following this thread (after you stop busting your sides apart) I pointed out that "porking" was a little harder than putting a finger on a dot.  As this commentator said it was. The non player has the "wisdom" to say he don't care.  CAUSE HE DON'T freakin care.  He don't even pay to play.  Prolly a freak in H to H 8 man  free arena's :rofl  As for guys who want to take the piss outta Strat guys and vis versa, all well and good.  But comments from the "unsubs"..give me a freakin brake.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I'm *sure* I read (and probably participated) in this exact same thread last time I read these boards.

Westy was around since before v1.03....I think his voice has a little merit.  Not saying all vets know what they're talking about, but what was true back then still holds true for many players.

I understand your point fully.  If you read what I've commented on I'm telling you why strat guys feel that way and why they shouldn't get involved with tank town or furball Island.  The thread after all was "why ruin fun by taking TT or moan about it", or lines to that effect.  I vertually, as a strat guy, agreed with the principle of the thread.

Now enters "Westy" chipping in with his abrasive ridicule.  Finger on dot theory, pixel shading, lesser skilled player and so on.  I'm sure he read every word I wrote but chose to skip it.  Skipped it..why? Because he knows I was to close to being true..perhaps!  Or is more to do with getting his infantile rocks off stirring the S***t.

As for making out, in the first person and present tense, that he pays to shoot guys down is just plain laim ESPECIALLY when, as a finishing line, he says he no longer subscribes.  This just smacks of the divorced guy finding laim excuse's to keep in contact with the Ex wife. Some kind of vertual storking. Up north from me they say "Nowt stranger than folk".  The world's full of them and here we have a prime example.  A guy with no input other than to get his jollies from errr whacking his keys, stirring it.  I can almost visulise the glee on this little w****er face as he reads this....pathetic!

Now I must apologise for my, after sleeping on it, verbal behaviour.  Just so you guys know.  My comments were directed souly at "westy" and not "Furball guys" in general.  I apologise to myself for actually taking the bate.  I regete to myself for actually replying to "Westy".

I have known Westy for a long time, much longer than AH has ever been around. In the past, he has always acted with respect towards most and I think he has voiced the opinion of many in his post. IMHO, you only took offense to it as it accurately describes many of the 'Arm-Chair Generals'.

Aside from when I'm goofing off, I do not want to win bases or win any wars. I'm here for one thing, and one thing only; to have fun with other individuals in a mild to moderate accurate WWII flight sim.

I am not here to 'ruin' these 'Arm-Chair Generals' fun either, they can pork, suicide auger, scream on channel 2 in caps, fly missions of 50 guys against an undefended field, or wet themselves when they acquire the perks for whining, err winning a war.

All I ask, is for them to do the same for me... leave the FH alone, leave Furball island alone, and don't personally attack me when I don't defend a base to your liking.

Ok Delirium...pls read my replies in this thread.  It may cast a light on things.  A little more favourable than you may expect but then again!.  

The part I took offence at wasn't so much Westy's down trodden verbal bashing or his oppinion.  I'll wager he hasn't given me or others the curtesy to have read every reply to the begining of this thread  It was the fact he spoke in the first person present tense. i.e  "I pay to play humans". Load of bunkum.  After his denunciation's he then went on to say he don't play.  He proved he hasn't even played AH2.  Yet the sorry sad T**t comes in here spouting off.  Like it really CURRENTLY affects his game.   That's right.  Like it currently impinges on him. That, my friend, is what I took offence at.

As for game play etc  there's only 1 game this haunted, hanger on  freak is playing.  Further more I shouldn't be drawn down to his level because he'll beat me with his experience.  

Delerium you may class me as a "arm chair general".  You may agree with the other furballer guys comments.  You may agree or disagree with my comments, assuming you have read them but is it not a little strange to come in here and make out you're "one of the lads".   Something a little odd here.  The haunted, twisted little hanger on, mind F***er,  "IMHO", has no duty to or right of "S**t Stirring".  If he want's to enter the pay to play world and make further comments.  I'll make sure I personally validate the "pixal packer pooop heads" right to reply.

"The double edged sword syndrome..."


 Doesn't exist outside the limited bounds of your mind there
Lancelot Lynx.  There were dogfighters and furballers in AH
before there were these pathetic hordes of Stratketeers.
 Take Stratketeers out of the MA and the arena returns to
being the "premier online venue for aircombat." However take
dogfighters/furballers out of the MA and you have a simple
minded box game called  

"Porkwarrior: Fing Glory and Honor in Beating the Snot out of Pixelated Sheds!"


 As for my no longer playing AH but paying-to-play?  I left before
your web board registration date indicates you joined AH. I imagine
you've only know AH by it's current, sickly form.
 FWIW I did try the AHII beta and thought it had some nice new
features and superb grpahics but that essentially it didn't change
the game play one bit. The fast heavy P-51 making a beeline past
the opposing teams players may looked phantastic but it still mAde
the same stupid impression on the ground when it was augered on
purpose.  

 You assume too much there Lancelot Lynx. I still pay-to-play though
my subscription is elsewhere. I'm just hangin out now waiting
for word on TOD. Where I imagine I'll be able to "fly" a fighter to
hunt and have combat against PEOEPL flying other fighters and all in
an historical  setting.
 But to assist you from further assumptions the main reasonS
for my unsubbing was that after many years I grew bored of the age
old MA style of gameplay. Unsubbing was made much easier as AH had
changed along the way by HTC in order attract more gamers (ref:
Air Warrior & the Bigpork type).  IMO (and many others) the AH
sim was turned into an arcade and, IMO, AH was no longer
the penultimate aircombat game to be found online.
 AH had become "Porkers_delight."  Stuffed to the gills with no
or low skill horde tards teaming with ADD afflicted types who
are driven to quench their need for attention by ruining the game
play of others. Predominate methods (cause they could do little
else)  used were the "suicide auger" or divebomb a Lanc or B17.

 IMO this is absolutely assinine in that a droolcup adorned noob
can take off with a formation of heavy bombers, climb to 15k and
then, as they are unable to grasp the complexities of a the already
super-simplictic mouse point&click bombing system, they go into a
dive and wipe out much of a base. That a no IQ person can have such
a profound effect on players many times his number over is a joke.
 And these days they don't even climb those bombers. They repeatedly
make a beeline on the deck (they don't even retract the gear in case
they fly too low)and come in over the base to wipe out what they can
before they auger or get shot down by AI ack.


"Now enters "Westy" chipping in with his abrasive ridicule.


 My pleaure! This topic was old before you joined AH and the days
of discussing it nicey-nice are long past.  (Thanks Delirium for
trying to explain it in a nicer way. I'm unable to anymore. And
nice handle btw :) )



"Like it really CURRENTLY affects his game."

 But it does Lancelot. It currently effects anyone who used to play
AH but who've ceased paying a subscription due to the declining
quality of inter-persoanl gameplay in AH. It keeps AH out of the
running as a viable, serious sim for those who want to play
online.



And thank you Rightfoot.   :)

Ive been doin AH for 5-6 years, AW for several years before that...after a while, ya just dont get all excited about 'winning the war'. I often have only an hour or so to play at night, and goin to a place like TT often fits that bill nicely--alas, there is a quite dedicated group of Nits who seem to be in the 'free-up-the-resources' mind set, and they routinely capture the whole darn thing. If I'm not in the mood to do something that  involves a 15-20 minute travel to the fight, or the only places with enemy are hopelessy outnumbered by either friendly OR nmy, I often go CT or H2H.

(NOTE: 'battling buildings' at bases, anyway, gives a context in which we can kill ourselves...would be boring with just 3 bases and no trees or mountains.)
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers
