What would you have done.....?
« on: July 12, 2006, 11:18:22 AM »
OK, so I'm in Lancs heading to A25 (Bish Base).  As I approach, I see a Rook 190 porking the Bish field.  There were 2 Bish uppers at the time.  As I move in to drop my bombs, both of the Bish fighters turn towards me.  I smoked one of them but I needed some help with the second.  I asked on 200 for some help from the Rook 190.  Instead of helping me, the lil bastage turns and shoots me down..:):)  

We were both working to the same goal here.:)

So my question is this,   What would you have done?  Would you have seen an opportunity to flame some bombers, or would you have taken on the fighter first...THEN come after the bombers.

OR was it simply both of them saw the opportunity to flame a Knight????

I felt a little betrayed in this...LMAO.

1) There is one basic rule: Only GREEN is friendly, shoot all RED

2) You may consider that many people are not tuned to 200 at all. So the 190 might did not read your message at all. But even if he did -> rule 1)  ;)

I'd have made a few half-hearted passes on the fighters, let you take them down (wasting ammo in the process), stolen your kills, shot you down immediately after you dropped your bombs, and then I'd have laughed.

LMAO:):)

All in all I probably would have done the same, but I first would have helped out "the enemy who is not my enemy who is my friend" .

Hi NAV..   FWIW (for what its worth)
Personally? I'd've taken on the fighters.  Have done so many times in same circumstances.  Recently, I came onto a 1 v 3 (all nme) situation.  Rather than jump the "1", I joined him in killing the "3".  We both did a wingover salute and parted ways w/o a ch200 remark ta' boot!  I'm sure he kept a rearview eyeball on me as I did on he however..

But, like somebody already said, if it's Red all bets are off.  

Sometimes however, like Adicus Finch once said; "It's more of challenge to let something live than to kill it".

if in a Dora I'd shoot down the easy slow bombers, used and left over ammo on a fighter possibly then run home ;)

You really can't be surprised that a player from a enemy country shot you down, after all it is the primary intent of this game.  Now pucker up and eat your dinner or you won't get any pudding.

Depends if I could shoot you down without the fighters getting a good position on me.  It also depends if you were coming right for me (can't pass up a head on attack against a bomber).

If of course both these things were met, yeah, I'd shoot you down first.  Then again, I'd probably shoot down my own country's bombers if I were allowed to :)

Thanks for the input guys.

And again, I myself probably would have shot the fighter down first then turned towards the bomber.  :)

But what I left out is that the Rook 190 dropped in 700 ahead of the Bish (can't remember what ac) to flame me.

This by no means is a whining post, I just thought that it was comical and would pass this along.:)

Maybe he can only hit the really big targets that cant maneuver out of his way?

I guess I wouldnt assume he was there to win the war. I know of a few guys who jsut love to mess around with the edge of the enemy radar circle, get someone to up, and then mercilessly cherry them until they give up.



But as far as feeling wronged somehow. well -- you were a red icon in range. His choice.
