Where did I jump to the conclution that you were whining about getting ho'd?

Reread my post...I was responding to specific things you stated.

hoing is lame i dont care what anyone says. there are situations where i understand why i guy would do it, but uppin a 110 and spraying into furball is pathetic, unless its me than its fun

Yeah because I'm sure you do great in 5 to 1 odds:aok

No, you simply do not grasp the varying kinds of ACM, nor when to apply them. And your SA may ... well ... suck.

Heh.  If I get this right,  you're in a Spit 14 and you're outraged that a 110 took a head-on shot at you?

Outraged no, surprised no, dissapointed yes ....

Spatter the stars
Douse their luminosity
With our amniotic retch
Promulgating the birth
Of another Hell on Earth
Shadows gather poisoned henna for the flesh
A necrotic cattle brand
The hissing downfall pentagram
Carven deep upon the church doors of the damned
But no Passover is planned
A great renewal growls at hand
And only when they're running
Will they come to understand...

So ends the pitiful reign of Man

DA NOW!!!:furious   You gona let him talk like that SupaTard?

[SuperDud]

I shall challenge him to a duel. Pistols at dawn!!!

I'm guessing he's one of those "play to live" types who rarely slows below 400. You see Dok in a 1vs1 you actually merge and lose speed as you work for position. While this is happening the bad guys buddies are coming. The quicker I can kill you, the better. If I HO you and you cry, all the better:aok

[DoKGonZo]

I don't duel. Never have. Never will.

You never know where you may run into me. On any night I can be trolling for dweebs down low in a Yak-9, trolling for dweebs at mid-altitude in a La-5, trolling for dweebs up high in a D11, doing urban renewal in a 110G or A20G, doing base defense in an IL2, rocket-vultching in a 190F-8, or doing long range sweeps in a P51. Usually all of the above in the course of a night, and with the exception of the Jabo runs I usually land and have at least an assist or kill per flight, not counting manouever assists.

So there is basically nothing you can teach me about the game, Dud. HO your branez out, enjoy your perpetual suckiness.

[SuperDud]

It's no surprise you don't duel. Just like most who call people sucky, you are afraid to prove it. So why I might be virtually sucky, at least I'm not virtually a coward. Look at my score, I'm not that good. I bet you could take me!

PS: I hope one day I will no longer be sucky in your eyes. It's really tearing me up inside:rofl Maybe you could teach me?

Yawn. Snore. In twenty years I've been challenged to duel by people I knew I could take, and people I knew I couldn't, and everything in between. It's just not something I enjoy; simple as that.

You have proved your own suckiness by your statements here. People who don't suck know that you can get kills through ACM and not not swarmed over in the process. People who don't suck also don't need to rely on HO shots to get the job done.

[SuperDud]

Maybe with all of your infinate wisdom and experience you could teach me? I pray for the day that I am no longer sucky.

Oh and I've run into guys who have been playing this game for years who are still clueless. Pulling out the long number of years you've played doesn't impress me. And by your very discription of how you fly when you said:

 "Usually all of the above in the course of a night, and with the exception of the Jabo runs I usually land and have at least an assist or kill per flight, not counting manouever assists."

All that says to me is you're timid, pick people and think you are great because of it. Perhaps if you slowed down long enough to really mix it up, you'd realize that without 5K+ alt and a lot more speed, a 5vs1 isn't really survivable. SA or no, coalt and coE all you're mad skillz don't mean jack.

I bet in an even 1vs1 fight your best ACM is to nose down and run.

In the main arena you expect to get HO's.

But in an event it's pretty lame, in my first and last Friday night event it was me in a Spit XIV versus a 190, a 109 and a 110 and the 110 goes for the head on surprise susprise, what a wnker

Surprise, surprise.  The guy in the more manouverable airplane is the one griping about the HO.  The guy who should have the easiest time in a turny-twisty fight is upset when the person without the advantage uses the great equalizer.

Seems to be the gist of most HO whines I've seen.

Yup, they want you to turn fight their spit in your 110. If you don't, you're skillless:rofl

you missed 2 key things when replying to him.

he was in a 3 vs 1 3 enemy vs him....he was in an EVENT not the malee......

it rally would not surprise me if all 3 didn't actually go for a HO shot.....


Superdud, why you trying to pick a fight with the elders? you lucky you not my boy, I be grounding you from the computer period...until you learn to act  more mature........

my opinion, put most of the old players back 5 to 10 years, with their abilities at that time  verses your abilities at the current time, I put my money on the older players...... even in a duel......

I'm only 38, but my reaction is 5 times slower now than it was 6 or 7 years ago playing these games.......

got any more SMACK?

HAHAHA I guess the jig is up, just trolling a bit.

BTW, I've been playing these games for awhile as well. Played AW since 1995 till it's demised. Tried WBs... hated it, quit after a month or so. Then found this place, so who you calling a noob:p

Dok, I was just messing with you. I rarely HO and normally pay the price for it. I'm a furball/DA junky who lives for the good white knuckled, edge of your seat stall/knife fight. My apologies for acting otherwise.
