There are only 3 "rules". Don't swear or act like an ass, don't shoot greens, and don't ram. The first one will get you muted, squelched, reported, or treated in kind, and the other 2 will kill you.

Everything else is gravy. Have fun, it's a game.

All of the above but don't forget to shoot chutes that bail over your field. These little buggers have a habit of turning into Rambo. They splash on the camo. Some have eye liner as well. Then they walk onto your base all limp wristed like holding their weapon before them.

Yeah x0847MarineNowJustAbanana, comming from a guy that advocates bailing out when things get too tough to fight, I'm sure your pulling a lot of weight around here.

BTW - Was that you in Pulp Fiction, you shoulda kept better watch on Bruce Willis, now Zeds Dead.

Vulching- fun to do, fun to try to get up w/ an IL2 and whack a few that are doing it to me. You just have to be the type of player where stats and deaths dont bother you.

Hoing- it takes 2. They CAN be avoided, and the guy isnt simply going to be at an advantage if you avoid. HOing is the child of Plane selection and frustration. People who take rocket rides and are always missing the evading plane that turns better, drives them not into a slower plane, but to taking the shots they have the best chance of hitting something. The HO.

Ramming- Related to HOing. 99% of the time both parties didnt do enough to get out of the way. Some rams happen in a slow close fight where you just can't avoid it. But usually its on the initial merge, and I think this is the type most refer to. Some happen on dead 6, from a guy not pulling off in time. Maybe framerate or lag has a factor in that type.

Shooting chutes- Personally I dont see the reason to bail out. You have left your plane and are dead anyways. Some guys bail out to draw aa fire, or to get a pilot in a maproom. Im not sure if the pilot is looking for a better score by bailing as opposed to dying completely, but it wouldnt bother me to be shot in a chute ( rarely do it, usually too low) and I will kill them if it looks like they have plans like that above.

Avoid HO's when posible, you will live longer. Chute shooting is target practice. I eject all the time just so I can get back to tower quicker and back into my death trap.

"...when you ram something the only one hurt is you."

That's a total bunch of BS. I am in B24's, homeboy lgay or spittard comes screaming in and just rams straight through me, I go down in flames and he flies away. I'm flying straight and level on autopilot so I can man the guns. I don't think "I" rammed "him".

This happens frequently for me. I have survived a grand total of 3-4 collisions since I've been playing AH, period, and interestingly they have all been when "I" rammed into them.

Anyway....

Vulching - knock yourself out. Nothing wrong with it. If you are trying to take a field, why would you want to LET the enemy up? The alternative is to knock out the hangars and that just garners a whole other set of whines from the fighter jocks that just want to rack up kills. Otherwise, you'd never be able to take a base.

HOing - I try to avoid it, and usually do not make the first attempt/shot at it, but if some dweeb tries to HO me, I'll HO back, especially if I'm in a cannon plane and he isn't. Just last night had a pony driver came in on my 190D9 and went straight for the HO. I avoided and started to fight, he turns and comes right back in for another HO, so I turned him into an ack puff with the cannons. He didn't hit me with a single round :-)

Shooting chutes - knock yourself out. I don't go chasing them down, but if presented, I'll blast them out of the sky. Besides, I'm doing them a favor and saving them that long ride down.

Any notion of "honor" and all that silliness is just that.

It's a game, not as if you are really getting killed.

Exploiting known bugs - that one is cheap. Only no skill losers need to do that.

And the bottom line: It's your $15 every month, play how you want to.

I accidentally scraped a flight of B17's last night which clipped my wing off and I went spinning to earth. He flew on I'm sure laughing his rear off at my blatent stupidity and rightly so
