A Dweeb by any other name...

[FiLtH]

"Nice HO dweeb!" =   Died because he did'nt get out of the way, probably pressing for HO himself.

"Keep runnin ya Dweeb!"= Angry because he is'nt in a fast plane himself.

"10 on me, and you had to come in to kill me? Dweeb!" = Went into a 10 on 1 expecting to live, and takes it out on whoever killed him.

"Quit yankin yer cable Dweeb!"= Unaware that some people have lousy connections.

"Ya keep vulchin me ya dweeb, only way you can kill me!"= Refuses to up a non-vulched base

"Dive bomb the CV ya dweeb!"= Well...that is kinda lame.

"Quit blowin up TT ya dweeb!"= Get up in a plane and defend it.
                   
"Quit shootin over my shoulder ya dweeb!"= Well hurry up and kill the guy.
                   
" Give me a 6 call ya dweeb!"= I rely on others to keep me safe.
                   
 " Don't blow up the hangers you dweeb!" = Im not here to capture anything, I just wanna vulch.
                     
" Nice ram dweeb!" = Same as HO dweeb.
                       
"Don't blow up the troops when we are about to capture it ya dweeb!" = Easier to say it rudely than to teach.

                          How about "Learn to hold your tounge and just play the game ya dweeb!"=  It doesnt take much self control to just let things slide, or to instruct someone nicely how the community would prefer something done.

                       All anyone is saying when they lash out on channel 200 is ..."I'm frustrated that things did'nt go the way I wanted, and now I'm going to berate you on channel 200 so everyone can think less of you, so I can feel better about myself. Remember that the next time you see it.

I used to get a kick out of it too and was working on a dictionary of my own. Somewhere along the way, I just quit reading the text buffer and lost interest.

i agree with all but dive bombing a cv thats just too much fun not to do:noid

[Kazaa]

Hey you sound like Pooface.

[Spatula]

Amen.

[Masherbrum]

I was the "inspiration" for one of em.   Thank you for thinking of me though.   I play a game, and was being sarcastic at the time anyways.

Wait ... why would you not dive bomb a CV. It was historically the best and safest way to attack a carrier.

They found out the hard way at Midway that making torpedo runs in a fighter was nearly futile and highly suicidal.

The only time torpedo runs were used succesfully was at pearl harbor against an enemy that wasn't prepared or manning the guns.

Out on the open ocean against a prepared enemy torpedoe bombers were a huge failure.

The British had success with torpedo bombers just look up the Taranto raid that effectively removed the Italian Navy from the war and the attack on the Bismark.

The Taranto raid also showed the Japanese that you can launch a coordinated torpedo attack from planes against ships in a shallow harbor.   The lessons the Japanese learned from Taranto was later applied to their attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Bismark also took place in open water and was quite well prepared.

The Bismark was parked.  One lucky hit on the steering system was all the damage the planes managed

Actually, the Bismarck was not parked and 1 'lucky' hit was all it took.

As NB said, it was in sailing in open waters of the North Sea and that lucky hit from the torpedos launched by the Swordfish bi-planes effectively sealed the fate of the Bismark by jamming the rudders and preventing it from being able to sail to friendly waters with air cover.  So yes, without the hit from the Swordfish torpedos the Bismark might have sailed another day.

B-24s, B-17s, and Lancasters historically dive bombed carriers ?

It could turn without rudders.  It was parked when it got hit.  Do you know how many planes it took to get that one hit on a parked huge target?
