On the Lighter Side........

All you High scorer's out there need to be a little grateful for the Half prettythang'ed flyer's like me. (Kills: 3 or 4 Deaths: I lost count) Without us...you wouldn't have the bragging rights.

(Hey...if you can't laugh at yourself....you got no buisness laughing at all)

This one obviosly made an error in judgement, you hunted him down and killed him. No big deal.

Personally I find it rather strange when people use the words "shameful" "proud" or "be a man" in regards to cartoon airplane video games...

You got it man.... Hit it dead on....

I like flying into a heavily defended target.... If I get shot down, SO WHAT!!
It's just a game..... Sometimes I even get away with it... Then I have a good laugh.... But then again, I have a real life.....

Hmm. Missed the part where I said I was "proud" and I didn't whine. I just said it happened and I thought it was funny. I also don't recall calling anyone a dummy.

noobling? Somehow I don't think 11 years qualifies me as a noobling anymore. And BTW, I out-dueled a Spit XVI with a P-51D just a couple of days ago in a one on one.

Other recent one-on-one surprise turn-fight wins (me in the first aircraft listed);

BF110-G2 vs La-7
BF110-G2 vs FW190-D9
F6F-5 vs Spit IX
P-51D vs Spit VIII
Yak-9U vs BF109-F4.

Might as well just fight instead of run. It's a lot more fun.

I think you might want to take a little more time in the future to actually comprehend what you read before commenting on it.

Ya know after my cousin just recently having a brain tumor removed, my brother being in Iraq, and other stuff happening in my life, whether or not I play a game in a manner that keeps the masses happy is pretty low on my priority list. I play to have fun, if by doing so makes some unhappy, thats life. There are bigger battles to fight, chose them wisely.

Some will, some won't, who cares, who's next.

If co-alt one-on-one it seems rather silly to decline the fight. But whatever floats your boat. Personally, the only time I'd decline a one-on-one in my Yak-9T is if I was low on fuel. Greater E doesn't send me running - you have to burn much of it to really engage anyway.

Frankly, when I find a one-on-one I rejoice; 75% of the time I seem to be in a very target rich environment (i.e. I'm the target) or in the middle of the worst famine is history as far as opponents go, with everyone chasing a mere illusion of enemy meat.

The MA hasn't impressed me at all since coming back. There seems to be a higher percentage of kids than when I left which kind of spoils the immersion (no offence intended, but the squeaky voices do get rather tiresome after a bit). Perhaps I need to get in a squad and see if that improves things.

The Spit IX was me. That was a pretty good fight if I remember it right.

~~Well, we may have fought with that match-up (I've been mixing it up more and more in the F6F-5 lately) but the fight I was thinking of was against Bearcatt in the MWA.~~

You completely overlook the fact that he died. I killed him. I got the kill. He died still circling his ack which I had disabled (and he seemed fairly ignorant of that fact).

I don't think anyone over looked it. More like they don't care who won. Mainly because this post is a "He didn't do what I wanted him to" post. This wouldn't even be an issue if that ack had killed you now would it?

It is impossible to talk about what someone else should or should not have done since you don't have any clue as to what was going on in the other plane. As many have said in this post, real life is vastly more important.

What if he was flying along and his wife comes in and starts firing shots at him when you show up? So now he is getting shot at from you and the wife. He thinks, heck, just run to the ack and deal with the wife. Poor guy then gets shot down from in front, AND behind. Poor guy is dodging wife ack when you six him then start a whine post.

Just one of a million possible things that might have happened. And I know that there are three sides to every story. Your side, his side and then there is the truth which likes somewhere in between.

But after when all is said and done, this post boils down to a whine, then an insult followed by attempts to justify it. Time to get back behind the spinny thing and let me shoot you down.

Ya know this thread might have been amusing if you had just stated that you observed a players actions and blah blah blah. You singled out a certain person and that is NOT cool. We've all run to ack or tried to fly smart on some occasions and just because it happened to you, it's not the end of the world or game. Ya just gotta let it go bro! My only problem with your thread is that you chose to belittle a player in an attempt to bring contempt against him and you don't know the circumstances of his flight. This could have been handled in PM mode and not the entire BBS population mode. We all have had issues with one or more players but the majority just don't air their dirty laundry on the BBS.

All the Best...

Actually I didn't. I know you said you killed him, but you still complained about how he was playing the game while you did it, which makes your whine ever more pointless.
