Hey, I was right. I could care less if you want to play for rank and scorepotato.  It's your $15.00. To come here and make up lame excuses is how you aren't one is crass.

FYI, default mode may be "fighter" mode, but if you change it to "attack" mode it will stay there unless changed back..

Yes Steve,  when we (myself and squad) see a full sector of dar upping 50 miles behind the front, yes we scramble for altitude in order to intercept expected inbound bombers (oh the horror).  

My statement was and remains, is that's where I have most often run into Lynx.  Flying high in bombers.  He is a dead eye shot in all gun positions and an excellant advisary.

The real reason you ain't heard of me is because I'm in bed with 5 to 8 hrs ahead of you in GMT... a Brit.  As far as fights go any alt is fine with me.  I likes me fighting and I prefer T&B against greater odds.  Having said that I ain't into suicide low an slow off an enemy base...bloody pointless.;)

Not to keen on GV'ing but I will strat a factory for the war effort and I will PT CV's and I most certainly will bomb the chitzoid outta a city.  Never understood the point in hanger banging when it's the bleedin town that need bombed.  Let the fighter cap and bombers bomb TOWNS.

I play the game for my fun and that ain't 24 / 7 furballing.  I likes to have a hand in resets and I'll fight between captures.......Oh, nearly forgot ....only point to rank is CV command.....ask around about El Capitain lynx:rofl

Lynx,   I didn't mean my comment about alt to be any sort of insult or derogatory in any way. Just that if someone spends a lot of time up there, I won't run into them.  I apologize to you if I was unclear and gave offense.

Stampf, as I said to Lynx, I didn't mean to imply an insult that you fly up there... simply that I don't and would therefore not run into someone that flew up there regularly. My apology to you as well if I was unclear.

Bucky,

I already conceeded to Karaya that that particular player may have been a bad example.  He flies for the same country as I do, so persepective of course plays into it.  I just looked at the top scores to date this month and posted the names...(minus the ones that I myself knew were not dangerous).

The only thing I know about Him is that once I had a great fight going on with an exceptionally well flown Mossie, and without warning or notice, he swooped in with his LA and ruined our fun.  I'm not pro rank or anti.  I'm pro fun, I just think some of the blanket statements made here are open to alternative discussion.

Yes, but the point was that he claimed to be too lazy to switch to fighter mode, yet he wasn't too lazy to switch to attack. Obviously, he gives excuse.

:rofl

I switched it ONE time to attack mode and never again, instead of changing each flight according to mission profile. So your argument is void.

And I am still waiting for your handle....

No prob, none taken.  It's a big sky.

And thanks Bucky...for the character statement.  Integrity is everything, even more so on the intardnet.  For some at least.

Top Score means NOTHING.   This is my whole point, but other's (including yourself seem to think it) don't seem to grasp on to the concept.

You need a roadmap?   Yes, this is "the Steve" that has just recently come back from a break of AH.

Steve, you couldn't be more correct in your posts.  <>

He gave it out in one of the posts, and his "handle" was already discussed when he came back.   Wake up and use "Search" before you post stuff like this.
