we sure did get ganged last night

that's the funny thing, SO many times flying with the Muppets I have seen us fly into the "horde" and go into multiple on 1 fights it is amazing. Other than back in the day when the BK's were on in numbers I have never seen a squad go into "defense" mode as often just for the fun of trying to kill as many as you can before you die.

It's funny seeing post by those that supposedly follow this "honor code", especially these are the same people you only see in a hord.

ack-ack

One of the most common, and most infuriating things, about the way most people play this game is that they are scared.

Just plain scared. Afraid to fight. Afraid they might lose. I don't know why. You can be in a P-47 loaded down with bombs, rockets, and DTs, and about 85% of the people who play this game will come in with a 5k alt advantage, make one lazy bore n zoom pass, run like hell if you so much as bank, then wait till 2 or 3 friendlies show up before they sprout some balls.

Its disgusting. I'm so disgusted with the people that play this game that I understand now why Nath was the way he was. I am actually a little sad at the state this game is in. I used to be able to log in and ENJOY the game. Now? Now I log in happy, and leave pissed off. When I first started playing this game, I WANTED to meet the people that played it. There were individual players, with individual personalities. It was nice.

Now? The game is populated with a horde of skill-free, faceless, nutless twits. They suck, they know it. And whats more, they are PROUD of it.

"If you piss someone off, that means U did GUD!"

Thats the attitude. I've only been back for like 6 weeks. The gameplay has NEVER been worse than it is now. The average skill level has NEVER been so low as it is now.

The game used to be full of people. Now it is full of faceless chicken****s. So yea, any talk of an "honor code" is laughable at best, a mockery of what this GAME used to be at worst.

It's sad, but very true

But I'd say..

If you see two cons alone fighting. Don't come in trying to cherry pick. If it's in a furball well then you get what you get. But let a 1 on 1 fight go on, if he kills your countrymen. Well guess what your countryman can get a new plane and then you can fight the guy.

If there is already two guys fighting a con... Don't be the 3rd.. 4th and 5th.

Don't run away from a fight, then come back and try to cherry pick the con you originally ran away from.

If you do join in on a fight, ask your countryman if he wants help prior to trying to jump in and steal the kill he's worked on.

If you must vulch.. don't be a dweeb whom dives in from 20k trying to vulch a guy landing his kills.

If a guy comes to your base and kills you a few times, don't up an LA7 and run him down when he's out of ammo or has a wounded bird. Accept the fact that he beat you and let him fly home and give him a

~~In other words don't be a tard and show a little respect for those you fly with.~~

HUH??????????????

All these things have been done to me many times? Now you are saying that the people doin this were NAUGHTY or something?

Trust me, there are plenty of us who do that

The more I kill, the stupider the dweeb I shoot down, the yellower the runner I nail, the bigger the challenge I overcome, the better I feel.

It's a shame the player skill has come down, but in my opinion it's just the game population getting a large influx of quake airheads, mirroring real life proportions. We real AH WWII propellerheads are just a niche, while most of the public who hears about AH on commercials etc sees it as just a game, not a passion for flying, fighting, etc, and the apparent downtrend in skill is just the scales tipping towards clueless gamers and future AH propheads still at the foot of the learning curve.
But it'd be a bigger shame to let numbskulls like them ruin the fun for us.

So the only good answer to the dweebs is to thoroughly own them, day in, day out.

I think what I was personally trying to get across is it helps nothing to just tell everyone how bad the game is or has become. The game itself is great. There are many new folks showing up at the door. If you were contemplating coming to this game and read alot of bad talk from the players would you want put up yer hard earned money to give it a try?

For those of us who've been around for 10-15 years we've seen people come and go. We've seen people start slow and take a few years to really get better. We've seen guys get fairly good in a 1year. So what if they came from MS FltSim, EQ or something like that. The fact is they came and wanna learn. Like everything else it takes time for them to get up to speed. Those that don't normally bug after a while.

With so many new folks showing up the fights are gonna suffer for a while. It doesn't mean there ain't fights out there to be had. As these new guys come along they're fights will also get better.

Are they gonna come up to some old phearts standards..some may and whup up on you. Others may not. There's always been dweebs like me around and there always will be.

"nuff said,

The way you play this game is a reflection of who you are in real life.

Some are brave

Some are cowards

Some are team oriented

Some are loners

Some have honor and respect

Some have none

Some are helpful offering kind words

Some could care less as long as they get what they want

Some shun the thought of cheating

Some look for every possible way to cheat

Some had good family and parents who taught them well

Some grew up like weeds and never listened or were taught a thing
Word to your mama

As in every part of life, young to old, you are judged by the people you surround yourself with since they are who you inspire to be like.

Honor exists only to be made a mockery of.

Simple rules to live by in AH.....

Always take the cheap HO

Kill cripples cleanly (no playing with your food)

Vulching somebody builds character, vulching them a 2nd time increases IQ

If there is a piece of the bogey big enough for you to hit it...shoot it. Afterall your "team mates" would hate to be killed by a wingless wonder

When ever possible pull up thru any friendlies bullet stream as you pick his kill. Getting one of theres and one of yours keeps the sides balanced for good game play

If you cant fly thru him then try and check 6 him off his kill...

If its green use it for bait..

It's bad luck to be the 13th guy in on a lone bogy...

Very good post A8TOOL. Should be a sticky or "please read before playing"
