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.

Ain't no thang ... with 2600+ posts I didn't think you was a n00b.

Unfortunately, what you described is all too common in the MA. I see it all the time, a guy heads into an engagement, saddles up on the first thing he thinks he can out-turn, and no less than a minute later he has 2 enemies reeling him in. After a while, HO'ing becomes a viable option because such a player usually dies before collecting the kill he was going for. The sad thing is that avoiding that trap has almost nothing to do with what plane you fly, what stick you use, or how well you handle the ship - it's awareness and decision-making.

Bagrat – Yall might want to try B24s when you bomb GVs at Tank Town. They have more ammo for when GVer you just bombed comes back for revenge in a fighter. Plus you can achieve the Triple Crown in camping with B24s much easier in Lancs.

1. Camping GVs at Tank Town – Fun for $%#@ and giggles. (You should try Extreme Camping with T34 – be forewarned – it’s very dangerous, very very dangerous).

Watching Campees cry on 200 – Good for a laugh.

2. Coming back to bomb GVs after the vengeful enemy takes down your VHs – Fun again for $%#@ and giggles.

Watching bomb victims whine on 200 – Brings warm fuzzy feelings to my heart.

3. Shooting down a revenge focused enemy GVer now in a fighter with your bombers over Tank Town.

PRICELESS – You camped him, camp bombed him, and snuffed him – Triple Crown.
(You know they want to throw their joystick against the wall too)

Impressive resume by the way Bagrat – I approve

Or maybe, they just fall in to the trap

Leviathn's not a HOtard; he's the HOtard.

Ahhh, yes. His answer would be something like this:

"woowooooya*&*(@*%*5booya&*^*ooooouuu&*(&(*wassssupm9*&872woootwoooot"

Some day, maybe, I will be able to understand him
