Give me a stuka and a fresh, untouched strat with no enemy fields nearby, I'll give you #1 in bombers (don't even think of asking me to prove that - that's how I did it in my rank whoring days --- ie when I was a newb --- and I don't care to repeat it.) Give me a whole bunch of fields with untouched towns and lots of low sissyfires (like every field in AH) and I'll give you #1 in attack. It isn't hard, it isn't fun, it isn't for me, but I've been there, done that. It doesn't matter what country you're on... 99% of the people on every country suck, so don't try to say otherwise.


I've got to agree here. Attaining a good Fighter rank requires some skill, alot of skill if you do not vulch, the rest of the categories that comprise Overall rank just require you to perform a short laundry list of annoying chores each camp to be ranked top 15. I too made HTC pay me for my rank during that contest. ;)

My last post states the truth, if others disagree It shows they did not do their home work or in denial.

The game has become fiercly lopsided, I understand from some of the old school guys that 3 years ago it was the bish that were lopsided advantage country back in AH1.  The game changes part of the coolness of it, but this chest beating ego maniac crap is rediculous.  Brag about what a big shot you are, kill a couple of good sticks to try to get your 3 seconds of the spotlight from the system announcing you landed your 9 kills in a LA7!!!!! and now you suppose to be my hero, sorry it don't work that way.  The ego's on this game are hillarious, everyone thinks they are a legend.

Accomplishing high rank in just an idividual category I feel is a good accomplishment, let alone in all 4 categories.  I just don't think that is something that should be crapped on.  It's the age old battle, talk crap about the guys on top, "I could do that if I wanted to", "it ruins the game", or "rank means nothing I was top ranked pilot in tour 42", or "it's boring trying to keep your rank", etc....  When in reality it usually relates back to cuase you flat out didn't have the patience, lost your temper due to a lack of concistent preformance, time, figured out how the game is scored, lack of ability, or A.D.D. as to why you don't think they matter.

I watched a top rank pilot over this last weekend have a couple of bad sorties in fighter and got mad and decided to duff his fighter score so he wouldn't have to worry about it for the rest of month, and then claim cause rank don't mean anything anyways.  That's the same attitude I hear from most of these guys, "I fly for rank until something goes wrong then claim rank is squat."

Yeah, that crack sure is expensive.

Actually, if I bought a joystick I think my girlfriend would leave me.  She wouldn't dig a guy that plays with little intardnet planes while holding on to something that resembles a noodle.

Its Monday night, that means football, so not tonight.  I'll have a room set up at 7:00pm CST tomorrow night if that works for you.  Bring a notebook and something to write with.  It also might be a good idea to bring a full roll of film so you can review the many ways I apply wax to your aircraft.

Im going to brush the rust off as we speak.:eek:

wetrat-I did already state that getting top bomber score is an easy task.

You stated yourself you don't like to fly for rank, cause it's no fun, or just not for you, that's fine no prob there.  But why try to take away from someone who show's they can concistently do what you can't, the reason why you can't doesn't really matter you don't, won't, don't want to DOESN'T MATTER, the fact remains that someone else can, will, and is able.  Why try to steal someone elses thunder for an accomplishment.

When someone kills me I take it like a man, if someone talks crap about it I talk it back as much as anyone.  But when Awsomo edges me out for the #1 spot in GV's this month i'll give him a pat on the back, and work on how to get him next month.  Not go to my squadies and talk crap about him or try to make other players in the game dislike him.  Or generally post on this forum negativity about him cause I technically got more kills them him he beat me by blowing up all of the factories, and driving tigers all month etc....  Cause that's lame If I want to beat him then I got to blow up just as many factories, and drive just as many tigers.  And if that side of the game is boring for me then, at no point am I going to start in on him, his abilities, or how GV scores mean squat.  I would respect him for doing something I can't, don't want to, or just flat out don't have the patience to do.

I'm not flying in MA as anything for now, got burnt out and giving it another few weeks.

Yucca, Wldthing beat me in the DA before I even learned the nice little trick of reducing the throttle.  He is actually the guy that I learned that from.

DA and MA are different.  Compare stats of tours when we both flew, and I am a farrr better main arena pilot than you.  Now tomorrow night will tell who the better dueling pilot is, right? ;)

Start thinking of planes you'd like to fly, because I don't think a fight where your in jug or I am in a 38 would be too fair.  We both know which one of those planes are better anyways.:D

Glasses, I've had maybe three names in the 4 years I've played AH, each which was quickly changed back to the original.  Usually a different name was due to "Lazer" being locked.

Wish we could compare who has ran through more handles... :rolleyes:

Zazen-It's okay, I just keep reminding myself I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darnet people like me.

All you flamers, flame away these are my oppinions, but at least they are well thought out oppinions, but please do use comprehensive reading and please read in FULL what I wrote.  So irritating have someone argue something out of context with what I said or trying to imply I said something that was the complete opposite of what I posted.
