Pointless Gameplay.

[SkyRock]

Yup!  Cartoon ballz.  Some have Em and some don't!

Sorry Bat, we have a good past but I need to defend a squadmate.  From checking the film I see no HO, I just see a high-deflection shot that snipped of your tail rather quickly.  I checked the film with trails on and from both views it just shows he had some alt on you and dove down on you and got the shot.  Sorry bro...

sure it may not be a perfectly angled HO shot, as we have decided, its still lame gameplay and a pointless encounter.

someone not too long back called me to the DA.

I agreed and showed.  due to the UDP dropin on use everytime we entered the DA we both decided to DA another time.

Thing that bothered me is he said then and later, "at least you had the balls", WTF is that???????????  HUH???  BALLS???????  flyin a cartoon airplane ina cartoon world takes BALLS?????????????????????

Really don't understand this ???????????

Like how well I fly a cartoon airplane ina cartoon world is gonna change thing in Iraq or something?  Gonna feed starving people somewhere?

Like any of us is really actually RISKING something here????????????

Reality check maybe???????????????

Anyone wannt explain this?  is it cartoon balls we're talkin about here????  UGH shades of Roger Rabbit..................

so if you dont need cartoon 'balls' (your words, not mine) then why do so many people run away when they might lose??

Why do you spend all day BnZ in a 109 without dying whrn you could be turn fighting on the deck and killing/dying alot more?



i never mentioned cartoon balls, my point was gameplay.









let me try and explain for those of you that still dont get it:


I played for a long time another online game that was first person shooter. i got quite into it, really enjoyed it for a few months..... then after a while i realised that i was just straight out killing. there was no point to it, i couldnt take films and learn from my mistakes, i couldnt ever make shooting someone with a rifle an art form in the cartoon world, so eventually i got bored and i dont play it anymore.

there are some who are just playing aces high the same way, killl, kill, kill  with no talent for how you kill.

and you would be surprised how many long term players are infact scared of going to the DA incase it shows them how bad they are.




how many times do i have to explain why this stuff matters, its about a worthwhile fight rather than the only two planes in the sector flying ho at each other just for the sake of the fastest  'kill'.

thank you karaya, you've always been proud to state your opinion even when you kow it wont be agreed with.

nomak, sadly no, i didnt film.   maybe the player in question did and would like to post showing exactly why he thoughtit was a fair move to do. if he has a point that i can see i would gladly relent and appologise.


and yes, blauk, i do have alot of fights with people that 'cold merge'


its not so bad you should try it.


i'm nothing more than an average fighter in this game, but i hold a few things dear to me.

having the balls to fight past the HO is one thing i respect alot.

good luck on my future merges?


screw that im flying 190s and tempests from now on and HO'ing everyone.

????????????????? you didn't??????????????????????

I don't B&Z all day ina 109.  I fly other planes as well and can be found just as often down low as high alt.

You want a worthwhile fight?  Probably work better if you SET one up somewhere.

I mean come on!  In the arena we see NO name, we see an plane type.  So how do we KNOW the other plane isn't going to HO when it comes at us?  

MOST OFTEN they DO HO when they get nose on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many times does it take?  Don't matter if it's 1 v 1 or 10 v 1, how many times does it take to realize that SOME people will HO no matter what?  And unless you KNOW who the other plane is, how you gonna KNOW the other person isn't gonna HO?

BTW, Major Richard Ira Bong was said to prefer the HO against IJ aircraft.

Chuck Yeager was shot down in a HO.

So IMHO the HO is valid ACM.

You or anyone else claiming it's lame or a lamer tactic does NOT make it so.

IMHO this sounds  VERY much like a effort to get others to fly the way you want them to fly.

Sorry but it's their $14.95.

Why not look at it another way?  Why not rejoice when you unexpectedly find another flying right at you and doesn't ho you 1st merge?

You are flying off alone in a sector looking for a 1 v 1 fight, but how do you KNOW what you've found isn't a noob uppin away from the action and just trying to learn?

You do know some fly in here that just LOVE to go hunt those types right?

[wetrat]

ahaha.. it's your fault for putting yourself in a position where you can be hit by a HO. ALWAYS assume you're going to be HO'd, and merge accordingly. You STILL haven't figured that one out??

Your image of a good corsair pilot is disrespectful to those who actually know how to fly the plane!  In game of course!  Also you miss the point of the thread, it's about two pilots meeting up in a desolate part of the map.  same plane, relatively same alt and speed, and a merge.  Shooting on the merge in this sitiuation tells me someone "doesn't" have the confidence in piloting the corsair!  Like I said before, if you know elfy, if he misses that shot he runs to ack!   Please refrain from calling those tactics good Hog piloting!   Cheap, pointless, gameplaying!

2 pilots meeting up in a desolete part of the map?

You are aware that some in AH fly in those areas lookin for noobs to pick that are uppin away from the action and tryin to learn to fly?

What?  You say they can learn offline?  Sorry it's NOT your 2 week free trial or your $14.95 they're learning on.

As to someone missin their shot and runnin for the ACK, seen ALLOT of AH'ers do just that!

Peeps who HO on first pass in a desolate part of the arena with no other planes around are LAME!

I agree!  As much as people here me attack those who HO, I might get hit about 1/3 of 1% of the time with them!  They do nothing to stop me from killling!  I just think that those, especially vets, that would HO in a first pass one on one, are LAME!

He's dead! !  This is a game, dont get off topic.  anyone can fly through the arena and HO away, its their money,  but they might be called a lamer!  They definitely will by me!:aok

I recorded an episode of a show on Discovery Channel called "Dogfight" or something like that.  This episode was about the Cactus Airforce, interviews with the real pilots, the whole deal.  Guess what these F4F pilots did on almost every merge, and evidently it was standard unit doctrine (at least against zero's).  

Now that I know better I won't complain about anyone Ho'ing me again.

Again  the topic of the thread is pointless "GAME" play  not what happened in WW2!  Shall we go into the differences of AH and WW2, first this is now that was then, second that was real life this is game, .........oh nevermind!
