Take me... as an example... I never fly fighters I just am no good at it... but I like trying other things in the game...  In the year I have been playing BUT....BUT.... I respect your enjoyment and skills that I dont posess.  SNIP


Ok, so you've played 1 year, you rarely fly fighters because you feel you're not good at it...SO you resign yourself to the land-grab game...?

Ok, do you think any of us would be any good if all we did was dip our big toe in the Fighter pool, found the water was chilly and pull it quickly out?!? Hell, no... you're only going to understand the mind of the fighter jock if you do as we did, spend literally years, practicing, duelling, practicing, watching films, practicing, get your arse kicked and practice some more.

I can teach a guy from work to GV or buff competantly in about 8 minutes...I couldn't teach that same person to be a good fighter pilot...ever...in a million years, it's all about practice and experience...This is the core difference between the land-grab types and the fighter purists...Unfortunately for the game there are too many people that lack the patience, desire and drive to learn to become a good fighter pilot, it is primarily these types that resign themselves to the ranks of the tool-shedding, milk-running, landgrabbers...Trying to equate the years of practice it takes to be a good fighter pilot to the dive-bombing buff jock or spawn camping gv dude is laughable...To say that they should be treated or weighted equally as a focus of gameplay is disgusting...

Jeez JD you don't know what your missing. There isn't anything in this game as good as good fight.

A good fight is burned into your memory. It's incomparable to anything else here.

It's ALL about the fight..

So i guess what you are saying is that all the vets just started playing and were vets. Nobody gets to go through the aging and maturing process because you dont like it that way anymore. For my $15 a month im going to play the way i want, and not criticize you or any one else for the way they play, and i would think we all could do the same. Just my 2 cents.

doh...again let me make this clear... I dont care how long it took you to get good or what you enjoy or dont... it means as much to me as what i like does too you.... you do what you want and I will do the same ...but whether you like it or not this game is not just about fighters and some people like taking bases,,, some like controlling cv,s some like gvs ... just because you like to use fighters doesnt make you any more useful to this game or the country you represent... in fact you represent no one except yourself as you change countries more ofen than I change socks. yes I know why you change... to even things up... thats great but some of us prefer to play with the same guys...you may be great in the air and in an ostie... but  your idea of what is fun isnt the same as everybodies... for instance i wouldnt leave the guys i was fighting with and land an ostie because I might get bombed but hey if adding a few perks and seeing your name in lights means that much go ahead ...and skill in gvs ...how would you know I have never seen you in a tank...or run supplies you are an out and out fighter/ostie player ... i think  because I try everything i get more value from the game but hey we all think differently. But I aint standing around watching you fighter guys pretend you are gods and the rest of us are meaningless . For me the dogfighting  effect on the overall game is at best minimal.But thats the game as I see it not your view.
I tried to make it clear I respected others skills that I didnt have but as usual you engaged your mouth before dropping the cluch on your brain.... I have heard all this crap before it didnt impress me then it dont now and never will in the future. if htc wanted this as shootemup they wouldnt have added all the other features.Personally i hate guys that bomb fighter town maps..I love the fighter jocks as far from the base battles as possible.
