Stealing is when some ****-*** sprays at a wingless or tailless plane that that someone else disabled.

Beyond that, all bets are off. I am often the guy at mid-alt trying to sucker the E out of higher cons. Yes it ticks me off sometimes when I finally get the formerly hi-con on the ropes and a bunch of shoulder shooters come out of nowhere, but that's the way it is. Those names are noted, and they are placed on the no-check 6 list

I wonder how many people who cry about killstealing are the same types who ride their plane to the ground making killstealing possible?

revenge is a dish best served cold,, had the pleasure of rolling our squad sortie of 8 into a low furball to see 4 enme on a friendly,,, said friendly had performed the unspeakable kill steal not 30 mins earlier so we circled over top and watched like monkeys as the hyenas tore the carcass to bits,,, funny part was that said friendly knew we wernt gonna help so never even asked for it.......sublime

I keep a list of these offenders..

My beleif in Karma is sufficient to resolve my initial frustration..

die yuppie scum........

Funniest one I've had happen to me was:-

Spotted a spit on a friendlys tail, swung round to engage - literally as I pulled the trigger - the red icon disco'd or something........i was 200 behind him, he was 200 behind friendly - my convergence is set at 400 - can anyone guess what happened next? Yep, boom, tower for shooting my own side.........actually fell out of my chair laughing.........not seen that one before, or since........but it amused me at the time.

So, someone, somewhere, owes me a kill.....

(someone has to, I give away sooo many in the MA...lol...)

I tell him that wasn't cool bud, he says that "oh who gives achit about who gets the kill. I told him when someone spots a goon and cals it out, its just right that he gets the kill. He started ranting and by that time I squelched him.

I I am in the MA I know that it will be few and far between when I will get a one on one.

Nice to know someone is fighting over my goonie corpse hehe.

Probably the worst steal I have had happen was when I shot a guy down after 20 minutes of battle, he crash lands and grinds to a stop. Another guy comes in and shoots him on the ground. LOL. I mean I had shot his tail off and one of his wings, but he was low on deck. I didn't bother complaining. Sure wanted to though.

My theory is this for the most part. If you want to duel go to the duel arena. The enemy pilot has made decisions based on the number of pilots in the area. Decisions he would not make if there were only one other guy around and that extends to his weapon and fuel choice too.

Has for the pickers, alt monkees, etc. So be it. I have done it all. War is not fair...at all

Just enjoy the game!

Then 10 min later, those same shoulder shooters are nowhere to be found when you get stuck in a 5 on 1

Exactly, I never understand why people ride their plane all the way to the ground, when your wing comes off just hit enter 3 times and end it.

I am of the school of thought to ask first before helping. It really erks me the way some lemmings follow 1 con lke it really takes 5 guys to kil 1 con. Also yes I have had my kills taken before, most recently I was really letting this con have it with my MG rounds until I was able to get in a nice cannon shot. I release with the 2 X 20mm of my Macci and the con was rend in twain. Just about that time a friendly comes in 6 X .50s blazing away. Low and behold I got an assist for ripping the plane in half just because the .50s fired more ammo faster against the falling hulk. Now I do not remember the fellas name. As I remember it no ill words were exchanged as he apoligised for the steal, and by his admission and aknowlegement of the steal I said something along the lines of "well thats what I get for playing with my food" in a joking manner. As I said both partys knew I had killed it and after all, are we knights not all fighting on the same virual side? This stealing does happen, I tend not to be angered by it. I do however despise fighting an awesome fight against a worthy adversary just to have the fight ended by someone on the oposing side swooping in. I know that I really should not get upset as this is probably the result of either him calling for help or exactly what we are discussing someone on his side swooping in without invitation. I digress, my feelings on this issue and most in this game for that matter is simply put. This is a GAME and while it can be FLOWN in a quasi-realistic manner, it can also be PLAYED in a first person shooter frame of mind. Which leads to the 2 schcools of thought being made manifest in the various pilots flight styles, often pitting one camp against the other. Basically, this and soo many of the other grevences within the comunity can either be given a deaf ear for the sake of preserving the games fun factor or we can worry ourselves silly over the smallest of details and still do nothing to solve any of them.

Meant to add this in my last post. If you see me fighting no need to ask if I need help just assume I'm losing and HELP!!

Because bailing out is for wussies. Honestly, the only real reason to bail out in this game is for score purposes. Whether you bail out or ride the plane to the ground, the result is still the same, in the tower with a brand new plane waiting for you to take off in.

hmm if just my wing comes off I usually fly home.

too bad they dont have a rescue option built into the game, where you can attach yourself from the ground to a vehicle , a jeep or C47 for instance, then if you get back to a vbase or afield then you get to retain your sortie stats and the rescuer gets perks as well.

Someone go put this idea on the wishlist.
