I have use of 1 arm as well, nerve damage limits the other one...

If you have a spare JS plug it in, put it on the floor and move the throttle using a foot / toe. The buttons on the floor stick can be set for dropping gear, or check 6s too.

That alone easily improved my K/D. I'm using a craptastic old logitech for throttle that lost its AH usability months ago. If your interested I can share my JS set up too, I rarely ever touch the KB, and never have a need when twisting one out. I have also perfected playing First person shooters, BF2, Americas Army et al, using a 5 button mouse.

Also over at http://www.thinkgeek.com they sell a USB pedal set up called the "StealthSwitch", works pretty good for games.

Have you ever been a "mega-squad"? Or do you just assume to know what's it like?

Or are you a Score Analyst Technician (like laz) and make a determination on someone's personal enjoyment of this game based on their score?

What a lot of you do not understand is the fact that just because some of us are in a "mega-squad" it does not mean that our actions are carried out as you suggest they are. In my case, the squad I am in has a squad night one night of the week. On this night we all fly together. Besides this one night we pretty much do our own thing. Yes, this means that we do things together sometimes when there are more than a few of us on. We get along and we like being associated with each other.

If you and the others like you perfer to lone wolf it and become an uber l33t fiter pilet, go for it...we don't care.

Ahh the first sign of the borg cube effect... the man no longer speaks in the first person, he has transitioned to "WE"

(btw, after some 7 years, I have attained the status:

of a very average fighter pilot)

donzo.. the mega squad guys don't do as they please... you guys still live by restrictive rules no matter what with banishment the penalty for even switching sides to even out the fights... the mentality of the borg cube goes with you 100% of the time.

This shows in your scores... you never get better. You never become someone worth fighting. You never even up the numbers and you allways look for a toolshed or outhouse to battle.

If you do show up at a good fight you don't contribute to the fun... you dampen it. You guys are the guy everyone hates to see show up at a party.

I am glad you guy found the LW arena. 30-70 guys in the early war can really get some great fights going if you guys stay out of em.

OH but you haven't flown in a borg cube? Let me refresh your memory from a post by you in another thread (Low Buffs Engagement):

My old squad, the Oddcaf/ Karaya/Uknome/47Ronin, did a Ploesti re-enactment one night on the large pac map (with the gv fights in the middle)--- takeoff point to first target (refinery, somethin like that) was about 6 sectors, NOE, about 12 sets B24's---made a Cv flash about 2/3 the way to first target--(Ghi apparently saw it)--- We popped up at the first target/refinery to about 2k, dropped 500 pounders, then split into 2 groups, went east and west, each group to hit one other strat-type target, again NOE--by this time, GHI and a few buds were after us, and it was a running fight for the next 5 sectors back to nearest friendly base--(we had to go around a big island that housed one of their bases) We shot all of them down at least once, as they were having a bad time getting out in front and doing a proper attack--(even WITH a proper attack, deck buffs present a more difficult target, as you cant pass below, gives you less room to avoid the hail of '50s). Were killing one fighter after another after another, and more of B24's were getting shot down--One of our cv's was about one sector from the landing spot, and some of the dead guys upped in fighters to escort back the survivors. who were all about out of ammo..oil, aluminum, etc. Managed to get maybe 2-3 guys of the original 12 back to base---was the coolest experience I've had in 6-7 years of AH (oh yah...I got 1 plane back..2 engines, no gear--landed 8 kills )

Now wasn't that you that posted that message? 12 sets of B-24's is one heck of a death cube in my opinion. I've never seen my "mega-squad" do that on a squad night. Oh and your last line of your post indicates that you had one of the coolest experiences in your 6-7 years of flying in AH. Hmmm, guess we have a credibility problem here.

All the Best...

Hmm, your SAT's on reading comprehension must have been poor-- it was a RE-ENACTMENT/SCENARIO, VERY high risk, and we werent trying to take a base, or even attack PEOPLE----- P-L-O-E-S-T-I--like 2 or 3 of us made it back (not terribly dissimilar from the real event)-- Dont see how 12 guys in NOE B24's hitting non-bases compares to 75 LA7's smothering a base:confused:

OK show me 75 la7's hitting anything in here let alone from my "mega-squad" it has never happend! That is what miffes me up most is that you folks have joined a witch hunt and blame the ills of the game on my squad (BOPS) without knowing squat about what they are talking about. Just how many times does it need to be posted that my "mega-squad" flies together one night a week for two hours and that all the other time we just do as we please. For someone who was so intuned into what the game is about you first come blasting with a personal attack in your response indicating that my reading comprehension must be poor. I guess that says a lot about you doesn't it? Like I said, your credibility must need some fine tuning. You didn't answer my posting that you did in fact fly in something more similar to a "borg cube" than what you have accused us of flying in. The bottom line is get off our buttocks unless you know what you are posting about.

thunderegg, the facts discredit that statement you quoted. you guys are always thick as thieves and if you aren't in a "skwad night" then you are surely involved in a practice for teh "skwad night". when ever I see any members of you Bops you are doing the same thing the same way and the toolsheds tremble.

what I don't understand is why you feel you need to apologize for it. If I were in your skwad I would admit that you suck, that the only way you can play is with the baitfish mentality in pilchard mode, that it's your $15 and that who ever doesn't like should resign from the game and be done with it.

this continous attempt by members of your skwad to defend your lameness is not doing any good. besides it's not just you guys that suck there are many others as well. no one takes the time to improve any more. the only way to get good in any endeavor is to pay your dues, in this game it means dying lots and asking for help from trainers. there are many great players who generously share their and expertise with any who ask. in closing continue to revel in your mediocrity but do so in private. the rest of us are content in smacking you down at every opportunity. you are keep this thread alive with your silly responses.

Ok you're right, 12 guys doing a historical re-enactment, not attacking people/bases, and 75 la7'S vulching a base into the ground ARE THE SAME THING (truly had no idea you were/are in one of the Bop squads) the 75 was somewhat rhetorical, but I DID witness one with 50+ Ki84's one night...(before the big change) was certainly unique. That being said, a squad with 100 or so guys, even on a NON squad night, prolly has more guys online then many squads ON squad night (you know, the Bop's REALLY weren't the focus of my original point, I like Falcnwng, and really don't want to get into yet another one of these Bop pi##ing matches)

Considering the gay flying style of your squadron and how they act in the AvA, you or anyone in your squadron is hardly qualified to comment on anyone else's squadron.

Oh yeah that is why you just smacked us down in EW and ran home huh? our horde of 3 that were way lower and against you and jerry2. You let Jerry 2 get whacked while you ran home to land your kills. Get a frigging grip Storch, you were the 110 that was whacking an undefended base and tried hoeing me in my single boston while landing in my only buff run earlier this campaign and you lost. YOu smacked me down two other times in fighters and I saluted you but you refused to return the salute. It was only just us two in the entire sector and half of the entire country at the time. You are no prince and you have no respect and you don't give any. I've paid my dues and it surely isn't up to you to determine just who has and has not "paid their dues"! Go away silly boy and come back when you grow up.
