Cherry picking, HOing, ramming, gang banging, or whatever it is that technically doesn't qualify as "cheating" or a gamebug "exploit", if the guy is dead and you're alive, then you're the winner.
Amen!
Whats "cherry picking" when your the victim is just smart flying when your the aggressor. Whats HO (usually isn't a true HO) but is most often a front quarter shot in a maneuver fight or a hot merge when you have few other options. Usually its a direct result of choices you made.
If you died, you made a mistake someplace. Lose the ego and the blame and accept that you lost. But the good news is planes are free, so up another one and try again.
There is no way to "ram" and survive, and kill the other guy. We've been waiting for 5 years for film of that and have yet to see it. If you collided, again, its your fault. Grab another plane and try again.
If you died, yell all you want, but don't press the transmit button. Don't type it into the text buffer. We all have more than enough frustration and anger to deal with, we don't need or want yours. You earned it, keep it to yourself.
Now respect, that's something everyone can always use more of, so feel free to toss those
's out there. Doesn't matter if they earned them or not, it costs you nothing. Besides, you just won, so you can afford to be magnanimous in victory. And sending the guy you just killed a helps take the sting out of his defeat. Besides, isn't it better to send a than to get into a pissing match on 200 or private with him??
