simple enough or do u need it written in crayon

Hahaha so the other guy got the nose around quicker.

Thus enabling him the front 1/4 shot.

Sounds like he fought better to me.

Watch the film. Humble fought for that shot .

maybe i am being pessimistic. but finding someone interested in a good fight is getting to be rare. and i suppose i could go sit in the AvA and wait for 3 or 4 people to trickle in but that doesn't hold my attention for long.

i guess what i am trying to get at is i still haven't seen the advantages of the new multi arena format and all the changes that have come about since then. i am absolutely certain that the win the war style of gameplay is dead what with the introduction of the higher %, the uncapturable fields, and the lack of new maps. and i suppose the response to that is i should build new maps but what kind of service is HT providing when the consumer has to 1) pay for it all 2)create the conditions for the game to be played 3) applaud him the entire time.

so i will end the last bit of my rant on the the latest trend of the hurray hitech threads. i know 15 bucks aint a ton of money but i definetly dont send ford letters with my car payment thanking them for such a wonderful vehicle even tho the headlights dont work and the alignment is off.

Excuse me....

Your sure judging someone you dont know very well. I'm certainly far from the best pilot here (Biggles kind comments aside:))....but I meet the broader standard of a "good stick" by a wide margin.

Damn right. At my age, when it comes to entertainment, AH is definitely cheaper than Viagra.

Sad how the thread turned out.
Firstly, hoing typh rider talks bout cheap shots, then another guy takes the opportunity to rant about arena split...

i know its better piloting to work for the 6, but if he insists on giving me this silhouette, ill take them too. sometimes have more success at this angle than at 6 o clocks, alot more plane to shoot at

and to the guy whos saying its a cheap shot, when in a good fight in the MA do you have the time to saddle up, playing the game from the angle of realism;

"holy f'in christ, i need to kill these guys before they kill me"

especially in a big furball, ill take any shot i can get to even the numbers, and reduce the threat.

lol it started out as a HO debate it was doomed to begin with.

i apologize if u took my post as a judgement upon you, it was not intended as such. kermit's comment sparked a thought in me that lead to post what i did.

sure it could be interpretted as an arena split whine but i have yet to put my finger on the reason behind the current gameplay trends. and i supppose that could be interpretted as a "play my way" whine but oh well i'm sure bronk will interject anyway he can

Again, how is that shot a classic example? It seems to me that for a player that has been here a whole whopping year, you really don't have a clue. Dismissed.

ack-ack

Oh yeah - if you're such a "good stick", then why are you skidding to the right in the pic you posted? A "real good stick" would have his turn and bank indicator centered at all times!

Just kidding!:D

You bet your behind I'll "interject" .

Nothing to interpret, you said.

So it is a split whine.

Do you know what interpret means?

No it's not. Just because a player maneuvers just to get a dead 6 shot doesn't make him any better than a player that maneuvers for an angle shot. The whole purpose of dogfighting is to maneuver so that you get shot on the enemy.

sorry for the confusion ack-ack i will clarify. that particular shot is not the classic example, its the whole sortie as presented. he lost his advantage to the n1k and ran. not extended, ran. now surely i cant argue with playing to the 51B's strengths but i doubt the intent of cirling above an enemy base at 12k is 'looking for a good fight' the intent of his sortie was shown when he dove on the n1k his only failure that i can see is he didn't bring enuff wingmen to draw off some of the ack so he could BnZ and plane fresh off the deck with little concern.

and who are you to call some one an elitist with your whole "i fly a p38" garbage? pots and kettles

edit:

i pretty sure i stated i could see how it could be seen as a arena split whine. and is stooping to personal insults necessary or is that your personal MO?
