Why are "some" good sticks bad losers ?

[BlauK]

Is it not obvious that "good sticks" are bad losers because they have less experience in losing

Nope!  I mentioned before the real old guys who've been doing this for a long time have only themselves to blame and they kick themselves for putting themselves into a situation where they lose. For the old guys the buck stops there. There is no hooting it up on any channel. Just a quiet re-launch to go at it again.

You might think of it like this...maybe a guy "seems" to be an old timer to you but if he's yakin it up on priv or 200 then he's just another noob and hasn't figured out he's the guy that set himself up to fail. Not the guy who shot him down.

One other thing for all the noob's. The highest ranking guy who thinks he's the best in the game is gonna get shot down by the newest 2 day old baby seal flyer when he least expects it. It doesn't mean the noob can take on a old timer 1v1 and win many. It just means that no one is exempt from the Golden BB.  Why I'm saying this is us old guys just move on to the next fight and don't mull or sulk over what happened cause it's history.

Phil, this is for you. If someone doesn't respond to every you give or say "nice fight" don't worry too much about it.  When yer new every kill has a lot of significance as you learned a new way to bring the fight to a successful conclusion and...there's always the next gomer out there just awaiting your attention. The satisfaction of the honest kill you win in a dogfight is something you get to keep for yourself and no one else.

For the mokes....an honest kill = you shot the guy down in a contested area in battle. It doesn't matter how you did it...HO, hi-deflection, 1v1, 1v2, 2v1, 2v2, XvX, diving through a furball, the bad guy just appeared in front of you for some reason and you just pulled the trigger, etc. One other thing about a kill (read target here) is that you might be in a mini furball with perhaps a 4v4 battle going on. Your original target can change in a heart beat and may also change from one bad guy to another then on to another in just a second or two. A dogfight is very fluid and opportunities come and go in a split second. You gotta be prepared to note the changes (no angles for a shot, for instance) and instantly change targets.

 A dishonest kill is a couple of buds shooting each other on the runway. The good news is there aren't many of them around. I have yet to figure that out as they only scam themselves as pretty much everyone in this game know about where they are in the standings (standings - their comfort level in the dogfight environment) and no one really cares what the score says but what happens in the fights, up there in the unfriendly, friendly skies of AH2.

Phil,

I actually read this whole thread! AAAHHHHH

I don't think anyone really answered about the guy who just shot you down talkin smack after you ed him.

If he does this he is either just pullinn your chain, is actually a noob himself and is havin a good night and thinks he's finally figured it all out but will shortly get his butt handed to him numerous times and run back to the TA for help, or is just a general poopyhead who needs to get L*%D! I'm sure you can fill in the other possible reasons.

Most the OLD gang are generally good guys and gals who will not let much get under their skin as many have said here. Some of us make the mistake of logging on here after a bad day and end up recreating it in the game...(guilty of this on occasion). I hate dying ( although it happens often) and on the wrong day, the wrong little prod from some name I've never heard may make me say what I was only intending to think....

If you don't mind losing, you'll probably be very good at it.

So act as you would be treated and eventually you'll be flying AH in your sleep like we do!....

P.S. Never heard Ren say a cross word.

IIRC...................

and I might not......................


THINK i heard a rumor that REN, whenever he is shot down..............




goes and beats the snott outta STIMPY????????????????????




(but I must agree can't recall REN bein cross???)

And even after that I usually just call them pathetic...


BnZ'ers, HO'ers, gangbangs... none of that really bothers me. It's the people that make me chase them all over the map that annoy the crap out of me.

My question is why chase one con two sectors anyways?  It's pretty much a waste of time to me.  Just my two pesos!

Phil,

I'll chime in too.  I've played AH off and on for several years.  It's one of those off times right now.

Many of the names you see posting on the bulletin board and in the arenas won't be around in a few years if you continue to fly.  

Some will of course, and amongst those I think you'll find them to be well mannered excluding the day when everything goes wrong and none of us are at our best.

My happiest times flying have been with the middle-aged guys.  With some exceptions of course, they are better behaved.  Friend and foe alike.

hap

p.s.  Keep up the positive attitude!

Get rid of 200 sick of the costant bs for the most part on it, also find my self roped into it at times myself.  I mean do we really need it?

Usually because they repeatedly tried to BnZ me, and after I finally equalize E and get behind them, they run.

Don't like it, don't tune it.  No one forced you to tune to ch 200.

And for that very reason, I would really like to see ch 1 disbanded in EW & MW again.

Crappy ACM, lack of SA, accepting a HO, flying into an enemy horde or just upping at a bad day.

For some people, it's always someone else' fault.
And if they are running ot of arguments... well, there is always HTC who "should really fix (collisions, FM, guns lethality or whatever)"

I couldn't have said it better myself. I wrote a whole article on this a few weeks back. What I call the hapless victim mentality is the real poison. Heck, fighter jocks, cartoon or real, tend to wear themselves on their sleeves. That dashing Knight of the skies mentality (with the accompanying verbiage) is often part of the success recipe..What is not part of the recipe is the continuous whining, groaning, moaning, crying, blaming and general delegation of all responsiblity for outcomes from oneself onto others...

Buck-Up buttercups! There's a shiny new plane waiting for you at the click of a mouse!
