runway warriors...

[lazs2]

I have seen the neighborhood that marine lives in... I would be glad to pay $15 for a hooker for sky rock from that area.

flacidwing.... Thank you..  I understand now.   To most of us what you do just looked like a lack of talent and a fear of engaging.   We just assumed that you had tried the fighter thing and were really lousy at it so you went to the gamey, risk free thing when in reality....

You were male bonding on a higher level and taking game "strat" to a hence unforeen level of complexity...


Still...

It wouldn't hurt to make the ack a lot more deadly.

this game was prescribed to me by my therapist for anger-management reasons. upping from a capped field is my final exam.

Laz, your use of the words "we" and "us" just brought the preceeding to mind. Must be the good coffee this morning, I don't know.

Hmmm, 3-4 years ago such posts would have been taken as real trolls. Now some players are able to discuss for ages if disengaging from higher cons or multiple cons, or landing the mission, or kiling an enemy with the help of a wingie, or approaching hot fields at 15k, or using hit&climb and hit&run tactics,  ... is "timid flying" or not.

Where are the old good times when SA was something and a K/D of four was good, and only a handful of players like Citabria had 10. Now, the Main is so full of skilless kamikazes that getting a K/D two, three or even four times higher is not so difficult.

Rant off

This thread is funny. It demonstrates a basic fallacy that is repeated ad nauseam in all types of discussions (especially the O-Club).

The way people act/think/behave is never the problem, rather it is a given. Take a diverse group of people and their reactions/behaviors are predictable, a result of basic human nature. The only way to change our nature is to globally alter all human DNA to create a different animal. This does happen but has heretofore been very slow, a result of evolution. One can no sooner change the behavior of people than the frog could change the behavior of the scorpion. Logic, reasonableness, effectiveness are not the deciding factor.

You hear/read it all the time: The game would be better if people acted differently, the problems in our company would go away if the employees/customers changed their way, the solution to our national/regional/global problem is to get people to be different. Technically speaking :  horse-huey.

The way to change circumstances involving humans is to alter the environment/circumstances/rules to which they are reacting. Period.

In the mean time (since I don�t make the rules) I�ll continue working on my global satellite system that beams DNA altering (aluminum foil penetrating) rays on everybody, thus solving all earth�s problems, creating a utopian world, making all of you behave the way I (in my immense wisdom and infallibility) deem proper.

I should be king,

For the past 13-14 years its always been the caution, "don't up from a capped field". No ever said anyone had to listen to the caution. But, to not do so is at their peril.

If someone choses to do it they made the decision to take the chance and not die. If they die it was because of the decision they made. No one else is at fault.

Can it get more simple than that?

Witty. I was going to add "if only your momma could break a $5", but... that wasn't the point.

The point you missed; telling strangers how to spend their $$, be it on a hooker, or a game, is always a losing proposition and will never work.

Part of the whole 'war is hell' thing is frustrating the enemy at every opportunity. Deal with it.

An old salt USAF Mig alley vet on Dis Wings described how two US pilots could keep 20 migs on the ground employing the exact tactic being whined about....

I wonder if the Chinese pilots headstone says "vulched" on it.

Here we have some gamer suggesting that the enemy abandon a time tested proven war tactic employed for years by trained legitimately skilled USAF pilots... because its bothering him.

I'll trust the judgement of the old salt warrior who has been there done that.... you can stroke the digital warriors emotional needs, it's your $15.

On the contrary... I didn't miss the point and infact I agree.  I'm just sick of the discussion coming up every 8 days or so and you left an opening for me to try to divert the topic..

And my mom is up to $30 these days, the prices are always on the website so I'm not sure how you missed it.

Take care.

The runway warrior..

The runway warrior comes in to an enemy field that has some action at high alt... he makes sure that there are no high enemy planes in the area... if there are he runs back till they are gone.. If not... he dives down making one pass at the runway hoping to catch a plane just taking off or just landing.

yes. from know on when you land kills it will say "so and so landed 10 kills in an la7, but he is a dweeb"  also if you score in the top 10 of any catagory, you will get an asterisk beside your name stating "you are a major dweeb" sorry point dweebs its all in fun (there, covered from future flaming).

i think rank may have quite a bit to do with people swooping in avoiding all other fights and heading for runway.  you can get good k/d, good hit%, and good k/hr that way.  but really, rank is so watered down by this type of behavior it has almost reached the point of irrelevance.  is not to say some don't enjoy getting a good rank.

won't say i don't vulch, i do (man that was difficult), but i don't when there is actually fighting to be had. how many times have you seen cap broken by a lot of uppers? it can be done, though many lack the stomach for it:)- read next time someone looks at my stats they won't be very good, and someone else's will.

finally, kong, will there be beer in your utopia?  as a wise man once said (homer simpson) "beer, the answer to and the cause of all our problems." so is a bit of a paradox you might consider:)

The really sad part is, being a statistics nut, some of those that do this are, supposedly, if you believe rank, some of the top 100 fighter pilots in the game...So, one could conclude it's not your fighter rank that indicates any talent, but instead how you achieve it, which unfortuantely cannot be quantified statistically..


Zazen

Exactly!
