Hey sonny, I didn't point the definition at you.   :noid. so I really don't have to "try again"...but as "they" say, if the shoe fits, wear it". :)  ViVa La F-3 in the "game".  :rofl

OUT (for real this time)


Really? Let me see.... you answered to a question made by Tr1gg22 about my mental state.... so, logic tells us you did point the definition at me. Sorry, try again.

No u got it wrong Gianlupo think u did not understand what i was sayin...THe DA has changed since the 8 player has been deleted...Before that the only people u seen in there were people wanting 1 on 1s or squad practice...U never seen that many folks in there before that as an average. My other point was that people have the right to fly however they want.. I dont Ho and try to avoid em at all costs.The newer folks  do most of the time cause thats the closest they get to actually hittin somthin.My real point in that is people will fly however they choose.. I dont blame em even though it makes me :furious at times...

Then, I must agree with Xargos, you should take some time to better explain what you mean. As for the "let people fly as they want", the funny thing is that no one would stop them to fly the way they want, if F3 view and kill messages were disabled.

What you and other people, like that Crazyhorse, didn't and don't understand is that we love furballs. In fact, the MA little generals usually call us with the moniker "furballers". What we want is better furballs. Let me say it again: disabling F3 views and kill messages won't prevent you to fly the way you like. It will just force you to improve your flying and learn how to fight.

And, don't tell me that the numbers in DA will drop because of the lack of external views. If people really like what they're doing, they'll do the effort to learn to fly from inside the cockpit. The only way that should be allowed to fly in a combat flight simulator. If they can't stand the change, if they don't have what it takes, then I think even you guys won't lament for their loss, maybe we'll have fewer red icons around but way better furballs to fight.

The DA is a great place to learn, after you have conquered the basics in the TA.  Barbossa (2bighorn) killed me in the Ki84 about a hundred times last night, but he gave critiques for each one.  And it helped alot.  I feel like I learned more in that small clubbing session that I would in a month in the MA.

As for the furball area, I don't expect much from it.  I just treat it like the MA donut, but dweebier at times.  I accept the fact I won't get a 1 on 1 in it before I enter the arena, and only go to it to practice SA and club baby seals.

Crazyhorse can't fight 1:1.  The furball is his crutch to provide shots at an opponent that'd otherwise rip him a new one 1:1.  Is this exagerated smack talk?  No: fight crazyhorse 1:1 and see for yourself.

Really? Let me see.... you answered to a question made by Tr1gg22 about my mental state.... so, logic tells us you did point the definition at me. Sorry, try again.

  Your "logic" is suspect. My answer was a definition provided TO Tr1gg22. I couldn't care less about your "mental state. Altho one thing does seem to be odd re: why on earth would someone that professes to be a "lawyer, and as such (supposedly educated to the "nth" degree) be wasting precious time on this thread.  Perhaps you need to re assess your priorities...or not.

On another note, if I recall correctly, you were(still are) complaining about "ho's, pickers, b&z type GAME PLAYERS. :P Your contention is the GAME is really a "simulation"..I take that to mean a simulation of WWII combat aircraft and ACM.  If the foregoing really is your meaning of this GAME, consider the following:  You have absolutely NO ground to stand on when you complain about ""ho's, pickers, b&z type GAME PLAYERS.  :P  As those scenarios were the desired method of survival on both sides during the era...with perhaps the exception of HO's.

Or do you think the following occurred..to  wit: during the European campaign (picture this) Capt. Joe Farquid calls Group cmdr. HAns Himmel, and the conversation goes something like this:  Hey Hans, Joe here..there's going to be a raid over Hamburg tomorrow, at 13:00 zulu ..I'll be leading a flight of 30 P51's @ fl 20.

Joe continues: As per our previously agreed combat rules, ie, NO HO's, NO PICKING, NO B&Z,..Initial merge @ co-alt, GUNS COLD on initial merge, NO shooting anyone that calls "time-out", OR "bingo fuel, ammo, OR "potty break.  Anyone that fails to follow the "rules of engagement" will suffer the wrath of the "Tooth Fairy! "Hans replys: No problem dood..se ya up there.

 Now then, IF you are akin to the above scenario, please continue wasting your time complaining about the "quality of Players".  I, on the other hand, once again, will reiterate my position on "f-3" mode...leave the arena settings alone, if ya don't like something about this GAME,  vote with your feet OR your money.  :D  :devil  :P

I know what you mean, the offline mission drones display more skill.

Tr1gg22 asked to me "What kind of little man syndrome u got anyways??". And you quoted that piece of text answering "Napoleon syndrome". How could this not be referred to me, given the context, and being a definition, is way beyond me. I think your logic is pretty flawed, and it shows.

As for "wasting time", taking about 10 minutes a day to answer to some thread, is not much of a waste. More than ever if you consider that my job has no rigid schedule, that's why is called a free profession (at least here). If you don't believe I'm a lawyer, I can't care less, I'll keep doing it and making money.

You don't recall correctly at all. Feel free to check every post I've made in this thread (or in the other one, if you like): I've always stick to my assumption that the F3 view should be disabled in DA, as well as kill messages. I never said anything about AH being a game, I've always stated that it is a flight simulator. And saying this doesn't mean that you have to simulate real life combat tactics, just that you should be flying your plane the same way a pilot does: from inside the cockpit.

Tr1gg22, if you see me in DA, just ask. Keep in mind, though, that my time zone is GMT +1, so, depending on where you live, it may be unlikely for us to meet.

Here is exactly what I said "It's called a "Napoleon complex"..just for your edification"..directed to Trigg22"..pretty obvious to me, Bunky

Enough of the "straw man" bull.. I know what your gripe is and it isn't about the "F-3" mode...can't argue with your "logic" ` cause it isn't.  BTW, if ya want a TRUE flight Simulator look toward X-Plane.. THATS a FLIGHT SIMULATOR, Bunky. :mad:

Anyway, enough of this dribble..time to get back to Real Life :P

you keep saying that, yet you keep posting.

Anyway, believe what you want, even that "you know what my gripe is" or that you simply gave a definition. I think people with their heads on their shoulders can think for themselves and it's pretty clear to them all what you or I were saying.

Oh, btw, this is a flight simulator, too, in case you haven't noticed.
