O'Club.

That's where the really good arguements are at.

[lazs2]

as a girlfriend once asked me.... "have you ever thought of using your powers for good?"

no.  but then I am reminded of the moral of the little birdy who was freezing to death when a cow came by...  (see movie My Name is Nobody)

as for my posts.. go to the oclub and you will see how I get so many posts... no... don't go there.. you are waaaaay too sensitive.

Let's be honest here tho.. FT was hated by the toolsheders... they cried allmost as much about it.  they sent teams of griefers to kill it.   No one played nice... Is it worse to talk not nice here or to pretend to be nice and then.... not play nice?   hypocrites.

my original idea was for a large map with "area's"   the area would be a early war one in the map with fewer, closer fields that somehow.... late war griefers could not take off from or get to.

This idea was recieved just like any other that took "resources" from the squeaky voiced whorde....  with derision and passion against it..

Now... you want to go back to those times and koombye aaah?   HT must be laughing or just shaking his head in wonder.

Truth is... I talked to HT about this at a convention years ago and he said that he didn't think it would work with the (then) current arenas.. course there were less than half the guys on then in prime that there are now.

HTC came up with the current solution.   I am happy with it but of course... still like my old idea.... the toolsheders went balistic tho....  they went balistic over fighter town and they would go ballistic over my idea of an early war area that they couldn't whorde in late war planes.  They will allways go ballistic if they can't have one arena where everyone is forced to fly late war planes in a whorde or nothing.

Just a thought

I'm a relative noob, but I would love to fly with / learn from a squad such as this.

But I'm not a toolshedder, I have rarely fown buffs, I do fly attack missions in fighters to pork but I couldn't tell ya how to bomb in buffs in here.  I don't want to go back to the frigging old MA, I like the arena splits myself and have expessed how I like the idea of multiple arenas and again for you (are you hard of seeing?), I would like the cap increased and don't really have a gripe about the ENY as I know it will be adjusted but I do firmly believe that places need to be set aside for those that just want to fight and tank.  Just what is wrong with that and why do you go off on this toolshedders triad when I'm expressing that I would like to see us all have fun in the same place?  Oh, I guess it's just not your way and I really bet you hate the BK commercials of having it "your way" don't ya?  For those who are so thick headed (Laz), let me say it again... I like the multiple arenas and would like to see the following:

1.  Arena capacity increased
2.  Protected Fightertown and TankTown areas
3.  Some good fights that all can enjoy in their areas meaning that other than the protected FT and TT areas, anything goes for bombing, strafing,capturing, etc...

All the Best...

I just had to check...

8 attack sorties

About right, attacking a field is dangerous.


1 assist
0 kills
This sorta proves you are attacking things that don't fight back or at least the undefended areas like Lazs is saying.

You did have a good hit % though...those toolsheds don't take evasives do they?


EDIT: I just went to close the window of your scores and saw some more things intersting.
Those 8 sorties took you over 2 hours.
You have as many buff sorties as you do attack, funny since you said you don't fly them.
As a fighter (hahaha) you average just over one kill per hour, get one kill every five sorties, and die more than twice as often as you kill....wow.

...and you are more than welcome to look at my sorry stats...will have to go back a few tours to get meaningfull numbers since I'm not very active. What I think you'll see is that I can get good K/D or good K/T but noth both, which illustrates flying style, which was Lazs original reason for looking at scores..

I hear the bk's were toolshedders, but couldn't cut it, so now they pretend to be fighters....err..furballers.

Have I told you about the time we tried to do a base capture and got all the way to the point of dropping troops and the goon driver didnt know how to do it? Funnier still, none of us in the strike package could tell him either. Probably had base supplies instead of troops anyway.

lol great stuff indy

How about this for an idea.
How about we mess with the victory conditions somewhat? How about instead of 10 troops being the only method of capture why not also securing a capture by cutting and holding supply line (I.E. preventing all supply vehicles, convoys, M3's, LVT's, Jeeps, trains, goons the works from getting in) for a certain amount of time, say 30 min-1 hour? Should even one vehicle make it through the clock is reset.
It would make for a very interesting shift in strategy play and it would provide some unique GV opportunities too. It would also go a long way to reducing the amount of toolshedding.

Not a complete idea, but parts of it have some future to it.

Hmmm... I flew some goons and I did gun for a squaddie once in his JU-88.  I don't consider goons as a buff myself.  Oh, and yes I did once this campaign up a boston in the first or second day of the campaign but it was probably the first time I took a buff in several months.  I did manage to kill a ho'ing 110 on my return to the base though.  You'd have seen that my stats indicate that I gv and fly fighters way more than anything else.  I don't really care about your stats nor do I care about mine and you can continue to thump your chest about what a lousy fighter I am as I really don't give a rats buttocks what my k/d ratio is or how many times I land or die.  As far as your stats go, I wouldn't even waste my time as I neither care or worry about it.  If it makes you feel good then you can go look at them yourself and gloat about what a he-man cartoon fighter pilot you are.  ROFLOL!

All the Best...

being a relativly seasoned noobs to the game and fighter sims period i not wuite sure i am jaded or narrowminded enought o see lazs point. keep in mind that i am totally biased, as a BOP i was able to absorb much more knowledge than the regular 2 weeker. with 100+ members that BOPs gave me the basics to evolve into the gameplayer i am and set a firm foundation for the gameplayer i can be.

Flayed and EGG gave me tips on how to flatten anything from any alt. KITE777 showed me how those guys way up in the sky were able to kill me instantly. Viper215 helped me learn to fly on the edge of any plane. Bushlt told me how to kill any gv at angle from any distance and Falcnwng instilled the keys to winning at this game be it land grab or rank. every single one of these men and many others who spoon fed me tips and insight did it with respect and honor. never once was there bragging or taunting over 200. maybe a few whines for time to time but who hasn't? i came to respect men like mongol and minnow and jam93 not because of there skill but the respect they command from the bish.

i follow the BBS in realtive silence but lately it seems like lazs hasnt be posting in favor of the small guy, it seems like his topics are more of an outcry because the game didnt evolve the way he had hoped. or maybe he didnt want it to evolve maybe he wanted to stay the same.



and on a side note

Clearly some of you guys missed the point of me landing hundreds of kills in a P-40.

-- Todd/Leviathn

i dont see any particular point in accomplishing something like that except maybe proudly displaying for all to see how easy it is to twist the game for what ever purpose

If you spend all your time with 100 wingies you will never experience what this game is about
