yep... can you imagine a game where the whorde didn't work... where no one cared? usranger and co would have to pay people to play with em.

What good would being killed 2 or 3 times for every kill you got be? Those half a kill every hour or so would be even funnier than they are now.

Heck ranger... you might even have to buy a jstick. I guess you can hide the frustration of fighting for scraps and still getting killed when you are around 10 of your squaddies by telling yourself that you are "helping to win bases" and that you are not really as bad as everyone thinks.

I think all you new guys need to look at usrangers stats to see what we are talking about here..

You won't get good.... you will get worse if you hide in the crowd. You will allways be everyones chew toy like ranger if you never have the guts to get into the fight...

hang with the whorde and end up like ranger....

getting worse at it every tour. Knowing that anytime you meet anyone in the arena no matter what plane you are flying.... no matter how much advantage you have..... you are 3 times less likely to win than not.

Actually, you will only find me in a "horde" on squad nite, since it is required by my squad. Any other night, you'll find me flying alone, or with a wingmate. So let's get your story straight sister. You don't know me, so don't act like you've got everything all figured out. Mmm kay pumpkin? Actually, I'm more into things like P-40 raids, PT boat missions & oddball stuff like that, so you can suck the fat one if you think you know me or my "style". Laz, if you want to make this about you & me sucker, bring it on beeeotch, otherwise get back on subject, which is your lamebrained ideas on how everyone should play just like you.

just saying ranger..... it is allways good for the new guys to have an example.

positive or negative.

You advocate a style of flying that it is best to get out into the open... the new guys need to see what happens to em when they avoid fights and furballs.... I think you are an excellent example of someone never getting better than a chew toy.

They can rest assured that if they listen to you that after a year or so of playing.... they will be less skilled than they were when they started... that they will die allmost every time they meet another player no matter how much of an advantage they started out with.

I think that you are a perfect example of the type of person who hates seeing a map good for furballs.

I am not even saying anything about your whining..... just pointing to your stats.... not rank.... stats.. The stats say that no matter how much you try to avoid fights.... you still manage to get killed when you meet someone. This is great but... you seem to be getting worse at it than better.

All in all... a perfect example of what is being discussed here.

don't feel bad.. I fought furball 7 or eight times last night and got my butt handed to me in all but one of em.... but... difference was.... I wasn't gonna quit till I learned something or beat him. I didn't run away and I didn't go join a horde to hide from him.

I might not have gotten better but I certainly didn't get any worse.

not getting into fights makes you worse. losing 3 out of four fights you get into should make you want to get into more fights not less.

nicely put ranger...

lazs2 · « **Reply #110 on:** September 04, 2006, 11:23:36 AM »

read the above jolly... you seem to be an advocate of rangers style with.... about the same results.

You have managed to waver between about a .5 kd down to a .3 kd as time goes by.

No one likes to lose but.... I think you guys prove that not having the opportunity to furball is making it hard for people to get better.

Not saying everyone has to furball.... only that it would be nice if the maps had some opportunity to do so like before.

Otherwise.... the new guys will never get any better than you guys at this.

and.... I am sure that they don't want that.... they just don't know any better.

It is productive for them to look at your stats to see the result of such thinking.

How do I advocate a certain style of flying (which you in your infinite wisdom can figure out from stats)? I do it all Sally. I horde, fight 1 on 1, furball, up from capped fields to defend constantly, and basically do anything that looks FUN! I could care less about stats on some computer game. That's not why I play. If you REALLY had me all figured out, you'd know I am that IL-2 upping at a totally capped field, or that lone osti charging into the middle of an enemy field. THAT'S my style. You've failed this little exercise on knowing how people play. Back to school for you.

People on both ends of the spectrum are still playing how they will play. This debate will not stop, ever. It has not stopped yet. HT has not changed the game, yet. It will continue with no forseeable end. I am happy for those who have a life outside of AH and this BBS, and play the game for fun, however they choose to play it. No few people are ever going to convert the world here.

lazs2 · « **Reply #113 on:** September 04, 2006, 11:54:30 AM »

no problem thunderegg... so long as the opportunity exists for all styles then people really do have choice.

optimal would be a lot of close fields so that if the horde was in an area then those who enjoy air combat could just go to another good fight.

ranger protests but.... unless he constantly fights form severe disadvantage (which is highly doubtful) then... he proves that avoiding fights (kills per hour mean tell how often you get into fights) he proves the point....

with little opportunity to have good fights... people will not get into fights and end up doing as poorly as him when they do find a fight. I have taken off from capped bases myself but even then... even my mediocre skills would let me get more than a .5 kd ratio....

pretty weak excuse ...I think anyone can see that.

Nope... my point remains.... it is like pointing out the babbling bum to children.... it matters not what he says just look at where he is at.

Kids.... newbies.... don't let that happen to you....

Stats don't matter to me. Go ahead and GAWK AT MY STATS. I SUCK!:D
A lot of it has to do with life outside of the game (my three rambunctious children, especially). I don't let people's prefered style of game-play torque my attititude. I step out for a while if I get perturbed. When it comes down to what really matters, this just gets old and silly.

It still comes down to the point that people are having fun doing what they do.
Hordeing, 1v1 fights, Porking or just bombing a factory.

I would say having ultimate fun in this game is being versitile, I can do it all and have fun doing it. I love LOOOONNNNGGGG 30K B-17 runs deep into NME territory to bomb some factory while the 262's come up to get us. I love a good even or not so even furball in my KI-61 or FM-2, taking down those pesky LA-7's or Spit-16's with a not so uber plane is great fun..

And I love the taking of bases be it by the sneaky goon driving of ThndrEgg and another squady and I coming in low to deack the Vbase. Or a good mission NOE in 110's snaching a base away from an NME country. The 10 to 15k Pony or 38 run to blast town and cap while the troops get there is fun. Heck one squad night we took 1 base with IL-2's and the next we took with P-40E's lol. We also like to do combo bomber/fighter blast and grab takes...

On squad nights we also do the simple fighter sweeps be they in LA's right down to Spit-1's

The point is we can have fun doing what ever it is we feel like doing be it in the squad night horde or with just a couple of other squad mates.

Oh by the way it's Squad night again and yes between the 6 wings of our squad we probably have 90 some odd active members and most show up on monday night.

SO PREPARE FOR THE BISH HORDE!!!!!!!!

I'm not protesting any style, so I don't know where you got that from. I said to quit crying, that is all. I believe YOU are the one trying to get people to change, not I. Step away from daddy's computer and check out the real world, your brain is starting to fizzle.

Us CM's can't load the Dougnut map for the SEA.

Wish we could, I also like the idea of setting it up for off times when no even is in use.

We could crank field ack up, disable buffs, and make ACK/FH's reup in one second if they get killed.

I for one LOVE the idea, but you would have to ask Nefarious his 2 cents, as he is the boss.
