Just my opinion BUT.........

The high alt stuff may become VERY common place once CT gets started.

Could find yourself having to deal with allot of high alt planes coming in and vulchin lower planes continuely.

Doesn't happen so much now because so many just wanna furball and getting alt takes too much time.

SA and ACM may become even MORE necassary!

Knowing how a plane handles at 20+K maybe VERY important?

I confess I LOVE the way the P47s handle above 20K!

IMHO their pretty much THE king at 22K and up.

Then again the base capture thing may keep everything nearly the same?

Oops and the mossie is pretty mean with alt also!!!!!
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Because that K-4 is like the rest of them in the MA,KIll Kill Kill kill Kill. he was gonna turn around no matter what.


It wasn't a 3 on 1 either, that spawn player is a 2 week baby seal who was at a way lower altitude and at least 5,000 away.

Yup.  Generally the guy who's running away just wants some separation.  Unless I know that I'm in a faster plane (which doesn't often occur), I'll turn 45 degrees or so away from him.  Most of the time he'll turn back and the fight's back on.

 Heck, many of us are guilty of the ch200 whine now and then.  I certainly am.  You take it to a new level.  You mask it with this supposed "online persona"  and explain it away as you are just trying to get people to fight.
Most of us, including the mods, don't buy it.  Many see it as some overzealous loudmouth being a jerk again.  

You don't limit it to channel 200 either.  I've heard you on several occasions screaming and cursing at your own teammates for assorted reasons.  The most rediculous one is when someone shot down "your guy"  and it was in the middle of a (about) 30 on 30 furball. It's as if people are supposed to know what plane you are on and if they do know, you are somehow more entitled to kill them than they are.
 Now, I'm not talking about a nice little 1v1 somewhere, I agree that someone dropping in on that can be annoying, especially if you make it clear that "no thank you, I do not need help."  I'm talking about you screaming at your teammates for this in the middle of a large furball.  Rediculous.

Before you get too worked up about this keep in mind that I like you, Skyrock.  I enjoy flying with you(except for the range vox tirades) and I think you make a terrific wingman.  Spending time with you in the DA is a blast.  I just think you are too spun up in the MA.

I'll grant you that I am throwing stones in a glass house as I too act childish on 200 now and then.  I am certainly not a 200 role model.

weeenies that can dish it out but can't take it are the ones who I am being sarcastic about.  Right before I got chat suspended, I had Pieper come on 200 and type, "I just dot reported SkyRock."    I called someone a dweeb and got 8 days.  Yesterday, I logged on and SS'd 19 different occurrances where peeps called others dweebs or tards!  Just like your comment Steve, I have read much worse than I have ever typed from you.

another idiotic thread that suggests there are unwritten rules about how one should fly this game.....

it of course neglects the fact that without all the other guys paying their money to have fun, there would be no game or it would be outlandishly expensive...

so if you want rules..take your buddies...goodness knows there are enough on this thread alone and set up a H2H arena or use the DA..the game allows that!!!

but it also allows every other type of gameplay and none is superior than another....

what is really demonstrated here is that there are many guys who actually believe that what happens in this game means anything about who you are, how successful you are or if you are a good person....it doesnt...it only does to you...nobody turns the computer off and tells their  wife/friends about how great PilotX is....unless they like the sound of hysterical laughter...

but what makes pilotx mad is that he believes he is uber and when he dies he feels he has failed so he must blame someone...in this thread it is "the horde"  of course it could not be his fault that his SA allowed him into a place where he could be ganged/vulched/spawn camped/picked...the "damn my SA sucks" whine is just not as effective as "gangbangers!!!"

agrees, you may cry about hording but your not going to stop it. If people want to horde they can hord,same thing for people bombing vulching and even hoing,they are going to do whats fun for them, they dont care what other people think what is fun,i vulch,it's fun,it's even more fun when people cry on 200 about it,same thing with hoing,it takes 2 to ho and the other person could of turned away from it or gone under it.

just my 2cents on Hording :aok :noid :D

:huh

Everything we do is a representation of who we are.  Whether in person, on the phone, in a letter, on the Internet, etc.

Of course the way you act in a game represents who you are...unless you have some bizarre multiple personality you have no control over that instantly takes over your mind and body the moment you sit down at the computer.

The Internet is not a free pass to depravity.

Storchie, you always swallow the hook.

Some people run because they are low on fuel or bingo ammo.  Some of those are forced to turn back by faster planes chasing them.

Just thought I'd point out the obvious.

I didn't see it that way at all.  No one here has claimed that there should be a restriction on the way a person plays the game.  The "idiots" who offend you simply pointed out that someone who runs from combat, or who thinks it's a hoot to pile on or to shoot people taking off from the runway, are lame or juvenile (or both).  That's only a personal opinion, of course.  It doesn't hamper anyone's game style.  It simply expresses what some might think of a player who enjoys that sort of thing.

Well, if you say so.  I've never been chat suspended, though.

 I suppose your next defense is that people are picking on you because you ownt them.  Would you consider, just for a moment, that they are fed up w/ your repeated rantings and insults on ch 200 and range vox?  Would you consider that, just for a moment, maybe this is your fault?

i have much respect for you oldmn...

but for you not to see that this is yet another thread that has no point and does try to belittle or pressure others into playing the game a certain way is silly....

and I didnt call anyone an "idiot" ... i simply commented on the nature of this type of thread....

again please take off the blinders and realize that:

 for every guy who vulches...there is a guy who thinks he deserves to be allowed up any runway he feels like no matter the circumstances ( he also typically thinks he should be allowed to grab equal alt) instead of upping a distant field and earning the advantage

for every guy who "piles on"....there is a guy who flew into a darbar in a way that allowed other plane/s to enter the fray (or hung around an enemy airfield too long)

for every guy who "runs from a fight"...there is a guy in a slower or poorly positioned plane that is probably a better turner who wants the "runner" to turn back into an unfavorable fight...

and the amusing part to me is that the latter in each case is often found on ch 200 spewing venom...so i ask you ...who is really better for the game and having fun? and who is taking themselves too seriously?
