Rules in the Main Arena?

[captkaos]

I am really getting tired of people telling me that there are rules for a merge in the MA.  If you get in front of my guns, I will shoot.  It is that simple.  Do not be foolish enough to fly your plane directly towards mine and think that I will not shoot.  I cannot wait to see if you are going to shoot or not.  I do not know who out there is flying according to some stupid merge rules that have no place in the main arean and those who are fighting the best they can.  I do not choose the H.O. as means to start a fight, but sometimes it happens.

By the way, if you have the fire power, a head on is a good tactic.  Do not fly directly towards a 110, a mossie, a nikki, or any other plane with cannons.  Odds are you will die.

If you want rules on a merge, go to a dueling arena!

So if you complain to me when I shoot you down for flying toward my plane, you will be ignored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to look at as "honorable" NOT to shoot in an head on merge. alas, far to many people believe they don't have the "skill" to fight and maneuver for a kill shot so they in stead take the cheap shots..... to each his own.

Captain, don't let them get you down.

If they are in the gun sight, pull the trigger, don't feel bad.  The only thing that matters is who lives and who dies, not how it happened.

Or when they whine about, "You broke the rules!" you simply respond saying, "Well thank you."

I'd hate to see what  you'd type if we were not to be ignored

Fugitive,

My question is how do you know if the other person will be honorable?  Sounds like s risk that I am not willing to take.  Besides, where is the skill in putting your plane directly in front of an enemies guns.

You don't know.  It's a choice you have to make.  I expect that folks are going to HO and generally starting from 1K out or more.

It's the guy that doesn't HO that I know is going to be a fight.

And yeah I've paid the price for not HO'ing back and misjudging the attempt to avoid it and dying.  But since the cartoon planes are free and I didn't really die, it's just not that big a deal.

But expect that the guy you are going nose to nose in the merge with is going to HO.  Sadly it's the rule, not the exception.

You'll hear all kinds of justifications for it, but in my mind, until we actually start dying for real and have some actual risk in going head on with someone, it's just a lazy way out of a fight.

Just my opinion though.  You have to fly the way you want and most importantly the way you have the most fun.

Ooooooh, thats easy. Follow your own advice.  Don't fly HO to him and you have nothing to worry about.

What you are really saying is that you will and do fly HO intentionally all the time  but it is the other guys fault for doing the same

"Do not be foolish enough to fly your plane directly towards mine and think that I will not shoot."

But, but, I still have faith in mans basic goodness.

The only rules in the MA are the ones set forth by HTC regarding vox, chat, etc. and FE manipulation. All others are just peoples opinions of how the game should be played which really don't mean squat.

Unless of course, they are in line with yours.

There are some who believe this should be reversed.
