It was boring, but to their credit they did get more aggressive there at the end. Of course, it's pretty damn near inexcusable that they allowed themselves to become the victims of so many headons. When you're in a position of strength like that, there is no reason why you should ever have someone HO unless you screw up. To do it repeatedly is, well, the hallmark of inexperience.

No disrespect, but as long as HTC keeps getting new players(which is an asset to HTC), new players are skilless and are timid. We forget how hard this game is to learn, flying, keymapping, etc. so as I see it as the game improves and more new players come on board, the skill level will continue to drop.

We take newcomers into our squad to give them a safe haven to learn
all aspects of the game and not feel like an outsider. And we have developed furballers to Stratguys, we let them pick there direction.
Hopefully to improve the skill of the game, which indirectly is our main mission. As I believe it is with many other squads.

There aren't many out there who have learned it all, hell I haven't, and I've been playing for many years. Some nights I can't throw a beach ball in the ocean, let alone get a GOOD kill, and some nights I sneeze and bad guys are down.

Gotta relax mon, go with the flow, remember mon U gettin alot more kills then them, so who should be upset. So have a drink and a toke an relax mon.

btw morph, can ya make a teaching film or two. One for me, Levi teaching gunnery in the AH world, and one which could be pasted to show new players how to fly.

That way you gain alt (E) and if your lucky enough and they try to pull for a shot, theyll blow theirs. The two of them gave you enough room to climb in between passes. Or, if they come in fast from six, make a lazy break turn at d1000, cut throttle and tighten it at d600, barrel roll up and over at them (shoot them if youre lucky).

Schatzi, my 3D visualization challenged brain is stretching for this -- I THINK I have a good picture of the move you describe, but if you could post a snip of a film I'd love to see it!!

I know it'll be a Hurri I film, but I'll try to generalize it to a real airplane....

WOW!!
AWSOME flying !!!
However if the la7 wouldve realized that they have throttles you wouldve died early on,as you just barely forced the first bnz overshoot. Why make a post on the bbs about someone's flying style.Maybe they're new and were doing the best they knew how to do,complimenting each other as they continually forced you to do the same move over and over and over.Most new players just know they want to land 2 kills just so everyone can see their name in lights.Why dont you invite them to the ta/da for some training ,then after 2-6 months of learning and they're still not improved to fight to your caliber then you can poke fun at them.This game and it's new players will only get better if those who are accomplished sticks help to improve the newer guys.You'll find me in the DA helping and being helped most of the time.I have sent numerous new players my collection of fight films which I've taken from other squads websites and other imfo gleamed from the web. to help them learn just a little more.Try it ,it's very rewarding.Alot more than posting on the bbs trying to prove some invalid point of superiority.

Uhmmm... if the MA really sucks today as you're all saying... is it worth it to make a subscription?

There's always a reason to complain. However, there are hundreds of awesome things going on.

You just only hear about the complaining.

Absolutely! Load up a bomber and head for fighter town. It's great fun.

Lol, thanks, but... the matter is that some of the guys above know me and they know that basically I'm a furballer... another wannabe complainer!

Here you go Simaril. Not 'textbook' executions, but you didnt really expect that from me, did you?

BUG and I played that game for about 15 mins.... until i was low on fuel and had to go land. I ended up at 8K altitude at the end of the fight. Unfortunatly BUG did the same and was still above me

.

That last one on the Spit isnt really doging BnZ, but its the same move.

Film of that breakturn/overshoot..... Go look at Morphs "MyDarling". He does that very move with perfect timing on the F6F right before he pops it.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH - I got Ganged up on and BnZed by t3h noobies!!

They were so mean for using their E and alt as an advantage instead of lowering their E to my level for a fair fight. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Clearly you missed the whole point of the post. The two players flew inefficiently and opened themselves up to multiple HO passes. That's not smart flying, and I'm pretty sure that's not what they would have done if they had known better. My take on it isn't that Dipstick was mad that they had an advantage and refused to play fair, but rather that they failed to maximize their alternatives, flew poorly, and never pressed their advantages.

In other words, it's a pretty good example of how not to fly with speed, altitude, and a wingman against a lone lower enemy.
