Why aren't you writing me by e-mail then? My address is in my profile. I can't e-mail you, because the e-mail address in your profile is bogus.

Sorry about that comment DrSoya, it was out of line.

DrSoya,

 

Just why the heck do you disable killshooter in the scenarios

Because it was disabled in real life  

One of the funniest things I have ever seen was when a squadmate of mine in Warbirds dove on two cons in a scenerio.  We were flying P-51s and spotted two dots below us.  My squad mate dove in while the rest of us stayed high to cover.  Needless to say he executed a wonderful bounce and killed em both.  Unfortunatly they were both Spitfires    Laugh but that kind of thing really happened.

In the great LW vs Allied duel awhile back I became an ace.  Yep 4 109Ks and a P-51!    We were both tracking the same con and over RW I hear "Get him Sharky your clear"  Just as I pull the trigger the internet decides that the mustang beside me is really infront of me.  Bang 6 .50 cals at convergence right in his wing root.

It was a real class act of the guy not to go nuts.  S### happens, sometimes to you sometimes to the other guy.

I also prefer killshooter to be off in scenarios.  I don't know what your experience has been, but the only friendly fire incidents that I have seen were from accidents, not anyone trying to cause trouble.  I think it adds to the immersion if you have to watch out where you fire when in a formation...heck, if ground collisions could be turned off, I'd like to see freindly collisions on in a scenario or two!

Keep killshooter off, and while we're at it keep friendly collisions on as well!

I definitely find it more of a challenge trying to keep formation without banging into my wingmate, while fending off fighters without shooting my wingmate. Makes the whole experience more realistic.

In the last bomber event I flew in I did briefly hit a b17 that swung underneath me while i was in the ball turret. I managed to stop before any damage was done though.

A RELEVANT STATISTIC:  In another air combat sim, a five-week scenario had only one friendly kill out of hundreds made.  It will happen, but not often.  I think it's well worth the added realism.

MY MAIN POINT:  I'd like to fly in an ultra-realistic scenario with friendly collisions, 10mph winds, killshooter off, and perhaps no icons.  

This plane set would work with no icons:  Allied:  B-17s escorted by P-38s.  Axis:  Bf-109s and a few FW-190s.  To make it tougher, P-51s could be used.  Because their coloring is very different from dark Luftwaffe aircraft, pilots would be able to distinguish them from other single engine a/c.

Anyone interested in such a scenario?

WOW!  And this from a CM for HTC, HiTech,you really want a CM that responds to users like this?

Damned right Ripsnort. Posts like that make the guy sound like a kid - responsible (adult, maybe) people should be representitives of the game, IMO. Sure DrSoya was a bit OTT, but it didn't warrant such a stupid reply.

[Nath-BDP]

? I apologized if you could read the whole thread.

I had a problem with DrSoya in game, so I responded here with that comment.

[Nath-BDP]

Rip, I'm suprised that you jumped to that conclusion so fast, I've seen you in a couple of my events... I would expect more from you. Try to read the WHOLE thread next time. kthx.

Jeez Rip, that is the worst troll/thread stealing comment for starting a pissin match. What does that have to do with DrSoya blowing a gasket over a misunderstanding?

Really...
