There was a brief period, some years ago, when I paid attention to my stats.  Didn't take long before I noticed that I was flying to improve my stats, rather than to have a good time.  So I stopped engaging multiple enemies, stopped heading for targets that were higher than me, landed every kill I got (whether or not I had gas and bullets left), and quit trying new maneuvers just to see how they'd work.  One evening I came to the unpleasant conclusion that I was now flying like the people I'd made fun of for years.  So I stopped looking at my score sheets, went back to having a good time, and have thoroughly enjoyed the game ever since.

Yep that's the key.

No one is really dying, planes are free.  Quit worrying about your score, dive in and have fun.

If you like 109s, then fly it the best you can.  If you die, so be it.  Who cares.   You aren' t really dying.

I fly the 38G most of the time.  It's not uber at anything but it turns ok.  When I dive into the pile of Spits, LAs, N1Ks etc.  I know it's going to be big target number 1.  

But I'm not really dying and the longer I can last in the fight, the more fun it is.

Forget about scores, K/D etc.

Grab an IL2 when all the FHs are down, it can be a real blast.

I just got off a break myself, sometimes it's needed to bring back the fun of the game.  I take breaks when it seems more like a job to play than acual entertainment.

It doesn't matter what your in, if you kill some of the more...er...vociferous (Fair?) vocalists on 200 then they will call you black and blue, because they lost, and you won...Laugh at them..I do, there is one that I do love to wind(x) (Or is that WhingX?) up. As he bites every time LOL.



You've got that right, preach on brother!  What gets you called a dweeb even moreso is killing people and never letting them kill you. They hate it, it drives them totally insane, you can just see them ripping chunks of hair out as they curse you on 200.

Killing is fun. Killing and getting away with it is sheer ecstacy. :aok

Personally I like the A20G.  Little more speed than the IL2 and for some reason I get alot of satisfaction smackin a LA7 or P-51 with an A20.  :cool:

AK, the col's k/d sucks alot worse, i am a dweeb of all dweebs, and i fly a niki at times too. The blue angels will never call any of us to fly with them,dont worry or care what people say, the igits always have a need to run their mouth, in a negative manner. The main thing is do what is fun to you, f, what they think. You;ll have more fun i think. I do try o keep my #'s somewhat respectable only for the squad though, and at times i couldnt care less, seems to be a good attitude in here. Be a dang dweeb and be proud if thats what gets you fun ,,,,who cares? i sure dont...:aok

Personally I fly just for the Remote Chance that I might get to Drop a Bomb on Morpheus's Osty or Cherry Pick Stang in a Seafire :D

That was one hell of a super horde you guys had rolling last night. If it wasnt for the fact you nuked our base and killed the ord, I would have started rolling buffs which always kills 2-3 vulchers.

I love swtiching to the side with lowest numbers and the side that is also getting gang banged from all angles then getting insulted by kakmaw for doing it. ROFL. I look forward to the times I switch to the knights and he is on. The hissy fits he throws are well worth being bang banged.

PS. I think I'm going to make this little gem right here my Sig!


Nope ... no Squad Form sticky for that. We already fly whatever we want. Remember ... the majority of us are Spitdweebs ...  ;)

AKfoder ... I recall in another post (somewhere) that you had the "Stall Limiter" turned on ... did you ever turn it off ?

If not, then that might be somewhat of the cause of your angst and anguish and why other planes are outflying you.

Yak's are pretty tough to kill if flown by anyone decent. Fun plane to fly but you need to get into rectal probing range before shooting to make the hits count, though, since the ammo is so limited in the Yak.

Taking a break from AH once in a while is a good thing. Or just taking a break from A2A ... taking a 110G to do Urban Renewal for base captures is a nice diversion ... you may even want to try vultching in one.

I didn't mean post it there for BK's to reflect on what they themselves fly, but rather what others choose to fly. ;)

Yup, the Yak is nasty in the right hands, I hate fighting Yaks. Two people I never want to come across in a Yak at a disadvantage are Trikky and Fariz.

Oh that's right, fly whatever plane you want, just be sure to turn with the BK's in their Spits no matter what kind of plane you are in or the situation! Now I remember! Thanks for refreshing my memory Slappy! ;)

To paraphrase: People won't fly and fight the way we want them to!!! Waaaaaaaa! :cry

:huh
