I kinda get what jaxxo's saying, but (no offense) everyone's been telling us LTAR's to "get in planes and be a man" "get out of those Flaks you wussy dweebs" and on & on & on.

So I have always said, "hey we bring variety to the game, what do you want a big plane furball 24/7?"  Which they always reply,  YEAH, this is a flying game, not a GV game!!!  So there ya have it, more and more people hopping in planes to do just what ya wanted --> furball, climb to the stars, HO, run, vulch, be timid, kill shoot, pork, ack hide, gang bang, cherry pick.......you name it.  

Don't listen to me, I'm a GV dweeb;)

Remember in AH1 and the start of AH2 when you could guarantee a HUGE furball between A8 and whatever base on ND Isles??  Or the furball that ensued after a reset on Mindanao on the west cost?


Those were fun times:aok

Seemed like lots of planes (all kinds) at all altitudes faced off between A3 and the Port last night. The fight went on all night and was a blast.  There was non stop action with the usual conveyor belts incoming and outgoing. Not much more I could ask for and I'm pretty sure all that were there had a great time.


I agree Ren.   I flew over to the port after seeing there was a few enemy GVs sitting in the indestructable hanger behind our VH that was down at the time.  I could almost see them drooling in their tigers and panzers waiting for the VH to come up and begin their killing spree.  I took a typhoon over there with 2 1000 lb eggs and dropped them both on the indestructable and killed them all.  I then could concentrate on the enemy fighters that looked like a horde of flies.  Everyone was firing everywhere. It was a blast.  Although I died on one of the trips to the port, it was definitely a target rich environment and a good old fashion gang fight of bnz, turn fights, cherry-picking, 3 vs 3, etc.  

No one really likes to get gang-raped.  I just buckle on the old chastity belt and dive in.  I try to land when I can but I think if pilots worried less about a few measly perk points, they would have more fun in the game.  I try to do my part to help with the knight cause but half the time when I sign on the next day, we are on another map anyways.  There is always something to do, whether it be irritating the enemy or dying a horrible death.

I kinda like gettin ganged. Its very exciting. If in a 1 vs 8, and you can kill a few of them, to me its a victory in itself even if I eventually die...as my stats show. Flying to and from a base isnt for me. I like my time mixing it up, whether its 10 on me, or 10 of us on 1. It all balances out.

Gets very irritating having to climb up to the enemy and let them come down to me.


If you wanted a good fight you should have been down in the valley south of A1, great fights in there!!!

It is a pain when you get to an enemy field up high and some nasty enemy wrecks your cherrypick/vulch by being up there with you

I took up a 262 , for , like the second time in 5 years, I shot down a Stuka. When I landed, it said I owed them 3 perk points. :eek:
