I guess you are going to grow up to be a soldier and think this is some kind of "strat" training or "tactics" training maybe.

Let's see, so many things to go after and so little time.  The one that stands out the most is how we, the Bops, seem to go after undefended fields 24/7.  It would be safe to say we only do this in a group worth noticing on Monday nights from about 6 to 9PM.  If they're throwing up a defense, we may hit 4 fields like last night against the Rooks.  Or if we're just rolling along, maybe 6 or 8.  But we're still only dealing with a 3 or 4 hour period once a week where the majority of the squad is on and all we're working to is taking bases.  After using my amazing math skills, it is found that we are only working as a massive blob of destruction 2.4% of the week.  Man, after seeing that number I can understand how we are just ruining your whole AH experience.  I mean seriously, you only stand a 97.6% chance of not encountering the full fledged Bop horde.  No wonder you guys are running into us all the time, with numbers like that it's hard to believe you could avoid us.


edit:  Oh and Ranger could kill us all with his bare hands.  But nice one laz, that was cute.

I tried to return this thread back to civility.  To get it back on track, instead of a kissing match between Laz & myself.  In return, I'm told how I suck ,my squaddies suck, our stats suck....zzzz...sorry, fell asleep reading the same re-worded posts over & over.  Laz, you think I suck at a video game? HAHAHAHAHAHA Son, I don't give a flyin farg what you think.  I think you suck at being a human being.  Do you care?  Hardly.  I'm glad a video game is the only thing you got going on in your sorry adolecent life.  I'm glad that telling everyone they "suck"  makes you feel good.  I'm glad that you have a non-existant life where you have time to actually look up everyone's stats. (Btw, that is some HILARIOUS stuff that someone would work that hard to downgrade other players.)  You are a real class act indeed.  I'm sure you are a real hero to your buddies.  So go ahead & write 20 more posts how of people suck, because we think it is F-U-N-N-Y that you care so much to tell us over and over and over.

Question for you, lazs . . . since it is mathematically impossible for everyone in the game to even have an even 1 to 1 kill ratio (because of kills / deaths +1), what k/d ratio do you deem to be "acceptable"?

If someone's k/d ratio is too sucky by your definition, should they just quit?

Once everyone with a k/d ratio less than one quits, there will be a new group, previously with k/d ratios above 1, who will now necessarily be below 1.  Then do they need to quit too?

If everyone uses k/d ratio as their measure of "success" in the game, it sounds like the beginning of a slow death of the game to me.  Because HiTech can't make a living on the 300-500 hard-core furballers that would be left (if that isn't being too generous).

And, no, I don't believe the "gigantic furball" for which you pine is the best place to learn.  Quite the contrary.  Any newbie upping in the middle of a furball is automatic meat - each and every time.  If that is all there was to the game, as it seems you want, there would be no influx of new players as there would never be enough time for a newbie to learn to fly, let alone dogfight, before they simply got frustrated and left, probably never having scored a single kill unless they had the good fortune to find another newbie in the midst of the swirl (but how they would get that far is beyond me.)

Just a little bit of nitpicking:
It is mathematical  possible for all of us in this game to have a fighter & attack K/D >1 (and thats really the  only K/Dīs we usually talk about), as we engange not only other fighters but lotīs of bombers & GVs too.

Yea, I know, not really a contribution to this discussion, but I simply couldnīt resist... :o

Although there are a few masochists that like to take bombers into the furball, in "Lazs' World" there would be no  bombers as the swirling fighter-furball would be the end-all and be-all (if I understand him correctly).  

So, although technically correct, I will choose to ignore you and hope you will go away . . .

But, please, continue to pick . . . while I cover my eyes and hum loudly.  :D

first... on the math... it probly  impossible for guys like yourself and usranger and dunder to every break 1/1kd...  Nothing to do with math tho.

second... usranger... thank you for your service.

But... you really do suck at simulated air combat and your military training is making it worse.   You are trying to apply real world tacticts and strat to a game where the strat is an excuse for air combat and... now GV stuff.

You might be a lot more happy in WWII online or some other such game.  

I am not only telling you that you suck tho.... I am telling you why.  I am holding up the mirror of your stats and you...are not being a good soldier... you are pouting and getting angry.   You simply are not getting better.  What you are doing is making sure that you never do get better.   I really can't believe that you, or most of your squad, will be able to sustain any real interest in the game when you get beaten like a drum by every 12 year old you run into in the game... that you can sustain the thrill of killing outhouses and taking undefended bases (oh... one or two guys taking off or landing is still "undefended")

just trying to help.   Sometimes shame is the slap in the face that a good soldier run amuck soldier needs.
