Sick of the game
« on: December 21, 2005, 12:58:22 AM »
I am just sick of this game.

After the 109 stuff, and fighting the damn video problems I have had since version 2.6, rubber bullets,....

I am hopefully getting a NIVIDIA 7800 video card for Christmas.  Maybe the hardware issues will be cleaned up once I get rid of the kee rap ATI X700 256MB video card and replace it with something that works in AH2.

And maybe I will have a better attitude.

And maybe I wll learn how to fly a Spit or an LA.  I am tired of trying to fly the German junk just to prove I am not a Spit Dweeb.

Most of the rest of the AK's have left AH2 for WOW.  I will get the game and join them for a bit.

I am not closing my account or quitting, (unless HT throws me out).  I am just taking a breather.

I can't believe how bad I suck at this game.  K/D 1.5 this month...  tonight got my butt handed to me by a KI84 when I was in a Super Spit.  I had a Typhie outturn my 109G6 (it kept stalling out, and ate dirt).  I had a hell of a time getting a Yak9U (flown by some stick named Trikky) and I was in a Super Spit, I got him finally and lost a wing colliding with his debris.  I mean if you can't fly a Spit16, you have got to be a loser. I lost a fight to a PonyD in a 109G14 (compression/auger). The only thing I got kills in tonight and landed more than 2 kills that I remeber was a Dora.  

Pretty pathetic when you have to fly a Dora to get kills.

I think maybe a more dweebish game like WOW may suit my talents.

C U after Christmas.

Not that anyone cares.

You just need to find the best plane for you (besides spits, which are the best for everyone)

And well, the D-9 isn't that dweebish is it?

Have a nice Christmas Ak

If it means anything to ya, Trikky is pretty good in that YAK.  Handles his E well and ALWAYS keeps the advantage.

Oh, and the Ki was always a better plane than the spit. The yak is no slouch either. Trikky's a dweeb; don't listen to scrap. Scrap's a dweeb too.

Wow, you have a positive K/D?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Trikky's ok for a dweeb... the Yak is definitely a great plane. It flies great (waaaay better than a 109), but the guns suck. Generally the hardest plane for me to hit with taters next to a decent stick in a zeke (how rare is that? lol).

 If you got pounded by an 84 while you were in a 16, that's not too big of a deal... the Frank can hang with a sissyfire pretty well. If the Ki has a significantly better pilot, it'll win 9/10.

I've taken a break this month, and it has been nice. I recommend it. When you come back you’ll be refreshed and stuff wont seem as crappy.

what's wrong with K/D 1.5? What does it mean?
Mine is no better and I've been playing for a few years. If you get killed because you try to fight and not to run it's actually pretty good. LW planes are hard to fly vs the new spits and La's. The challange of shooting someone down with an "inferior plane" gives greater satisfaction.

If all you want is a K/D:
- take an LA7.
- never pull more than 3G.
- Always fly with the hordes.
- Engage only enemy already fighting one of your country.
- Engage burning / damaged planes, just be sure to land more cannon hits than the guy before you did.
- Run away at the 1st sign of disadvantage, yelling your hord to clear you.
- Wait for others to clear the acks and beat them to the vulch. If the vulch is good, reduce throttle and RPM to extend your quality vulching time.
- Dont exit after landing. Refuel till you have enough kills to get a "wtfg" on channel 2.
- post your kills statistics on the BBS for all to be awed.

Just take it easy and enjoy.

Damn... all that would eventually take more time than actually learning how to fly a fighter.

Trikky in a Yak9u is no easy kill FF.

Yaks can be a handfull for anyone with even a moderate pilot.
And trikky KNOWS that yak. Frankly I'm surprised you got him.

Yes take a break, YES walk away from the LW.

YES come to the light!

Heck climb into the yak for a tour, you could do worse.
Flying LW long enough makes anyone strange.

Fly the La5fn for a tour, granted its not as fast as the 7, but people don't whine. :) (they can't, you could have been in a la7)

2 nose mounted cannons, 400 rounds, fast, nimble,  whats not to like?

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I took most of November and the 1st half of December off, and I've been so pissed and frustrated since coming back that I pitched a duster two nights in a row after getting shot down and haven't been back on in over two days. Of course, I never have been all that good, and I've never kept much better than a 1.8: K/D ratio for any length of time either, so I don't have much to lose.
