Ok what you need to do is take advantage of the situation.

First. When you see that. Never follow the pack or.."school of fish" as I like to call them.

Grab a little alt and you will see why I call them that. Because thats exacty what they look like.

In any event. dont follow. If they were going to have any success chasing this guy, they would have killed him already

Now what you do is position yourself taking the terrain into account to the most likely place that they will be headed to and fly there instead.
Pretty soon they will chase that guy your way so all you have to do is swoop down and snatch up the kill for yourself :D

Also. If there is a large darbar in your sector and you see that school of fish chasing that one lone plane round on the deck. Again. dont follow.
Head away from the feild and Grab Alt instead.

this will put you in place to better be able to fight as you wont be caught low with the school of fish when the incomming hoard arrives

Oh and dont forget to give a warning to whoever may be upping

Did you give him a six call? If not why? How did that make you feel?

If you're situated anywhere else besides the tower, you're fair game. It sounds like the deceased upped at a capped base - not a smart move.

Sweet2th-Sorry to say this, but that's just the tip of the iceberg in here. Give it a year, and you will see many, many more depravities than that. I've played since AH1, and I will say that it seems to have gotten a little worse as time has went on. As have been stated in other posts, though, You just have to hang on, and take the good with the bad. You'll learn to have fun in the game, and brush everything else aside. It also will help to get in a good squad, when you can, It helps to have some friends to fly with.

It obviously is to the school of fish.

all the more reason to swwop donw and snatch it up for yourself.
they do all the work, you get all the pleasure :D

Plus by doing that. you now freed up 10 people to defend against the incomming mob that would otherwise STILL be chasing that oen lone con around;)

i'm just guessing here but i think the 10 players were trying to shoot down the one enemy. but yes, 10 is a lot to chase one plane, if i find myself in that pack i break off and grab alt. Always try to attack the enemy with the highest alt, they are the most dangerous.

sometimes i will follow a friendly who is on the 6 of a enemy, i don't close or shoot, i just cover his 6 and let him take the kill but if the enemy does some ACM and breaks the contact i am there to pick up the pursuit.

and sweet, we are not all like the one you described.
