What does a furball mean to you?

[EN4CER]

A style of gameplay that one particular special interest group enjoys and whines about when its existence is threatened.

Oddly enough, I don't feel the need to justify or explain my flying
style to anyone else here.  If that means I don't get respect..oh well.

i find myelf more and more climbing for alt lately..it seems the player base has grown dramatically and there are just to many gaggles of cannon planes entering a fight to keep track of them..so ill try and drag a few away so at least its 2 or 3 on one instead of 10 or 12....also alot of the other players are really only interested in getting a kill not actually working together (stoopid bk's ) i think the classic5k and below furball with fairly equal numbers are going the wayside...ill see a huge darbar and 5 minutes later its over with one side vulching the other..

Cannons a blazing as I zoom through the air
Shooting down dweebs everywhere

Flying up high what do I see?
Looks like a Spitfire chasing after me

Fast he approaches, his eyes big and wide
Knowing a kill he will not be denied

Guns start firing at 2k or 3
Never checking six, his eyes fixed on me

I take a sharp turn and a long dive
He follows fast because speed=life

Plink plink plink he hears a sound
Guess what he sees when he turns around?

Yes, another 190 bearing down. "damn" he says with a long sigh
That alt monkey must have been really high

It doesn't matter the 190 can't shoot him down
His wings fall off and he spirals to the ground

The moral of the story is a fact that I want you to know
Sometimes the smartest target is not always low

If you're in a spitfire flying balls to the wall
You're doing something wrong, stay in your furball

My observation is that a typical furball is more like a meteorological storm cell than a cluster. It's more dynamic than static, though it does retain a visual form, like a storm. Usually starts around 8-12K from the initial merge and it quickly drops down below 5K.

I hate to break up the love fest LOL .  And I will agree that a furball can start like this.  But personally if your over 5k you are not in the furball.  You are on top of the furball.  

Also furball people take off climb to 3k max, if at all, and then either fight all the dweebs that are diving in to bounce or cherry pick them or drive strait into the cons on the deck.

BTW - Lev report to Laz for retraining.
