have you ran away from a fight? (speak the truth)
« on: June 15, 2008, 08:13:46 PM »
   Have you ever ran away from a fight? Have you ever left a buddy in a fight to die, just so you can protect your highly perked ride? If so, what made you run away? A huge furball? A 50+ air raid? Someone you can't stand and never want to fight them? Or were you protecting your #15 kills and wanted to land it?

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I have fled many a fight and left my wingman to die just because it amuses me.

I've run away from several fights.  He who runs away lives to brag to the ladies in the bar another day.

I've also left countrymen to die when they panic and run into the other team's ack trying to get away from a fighter.

But I've never left my wingman.  And I never will leave my wingman.

I think the only time i've ever ran from a fight was if i was already 1.) missing vital parts 2.) out of ammo 3.) out of gas.

I can be in a dora or another horrible slow speed plane, but i always end up turn fighting. I don't run from a 1v1 fight, EVER.

   Have you ever ran away from a fight?
Hell, yes!

 Have you ever left a buddy in a fight to die,
I have no buddies

Someone you can't stand and never want to fight them?
I have never thought that way. All are just red icons.


Or were you protecting your #15 kills and wanted to land it?
I try to land every sortie, regardless number of kills I have, even when having none at all.

I have trouble landing a field gun, so not point in running.

If I'm outnumbered, no ammo or fuel i run. Otherwise i fight. I never leave my wingman..ever. if I have no ammo, then I'll be bait, so that we can get out of there together and land as a squad.

I don't run.

If I'm leaving a fight at all, I'm either damaged beyond being "helpful" or out of ammo.   I will fight while on fumes, pilot wounded.    This is a game, I've lost count of sorties where I've had a lot of kills, turned back to help and gotten shot down.    I play for competition.   I've also lost count of 5 on 1's I've walked away from - "shaking and mentally exhausted from being on the hats".

When I'm in the middle of a cool 1vs1 or 1vs2 fight, and 2 or 3 more enemies decide it's time to doggy-pile me but I am faster, I run.

I've ran from fights. When I see about 10 guys coming in with alt I get out as best I can. What I hope is that I will drag one out for some 1 vs 1 action and usually do.

As far as landing 15 kills. That rarely happens with me. I do like to land safely.

I have never left a wingman. However, I rarely have one. I sure have been left though. One of my first flights ins AH coming from AW I was flying with 2 guys I knew pretty well from AW. I got into a B&Z fight with 2 p51ds vs my f6. Now I wasn't very good in AH. I called for help to these two so called wingman and they both were only about 3k out. They left anyway saying they were short on fuel. They took off with drop tanks and we hadn't been gone for long. I had a ton of fuel and I took off with them. Anyway they left me and I died after being B&z'd for 15 minutes. I never ever thought well of those guys again and that's been 5 years ago. They have both left the game.

I have a thought, are you leaving your wingman if he dives deep into a furball or ups a capped base. I think not.

I miss some of the wingmen I had in AW. Those guys stuck with you. It was great! They may be playing AH but I don't know who they are.

It all depends the situation, If I have the ammo and gas I will no doubt fight, however if the odds are more then bad that I wont survive, but I can slip out and make it home, honestly I'm disengaging and making it home rather then letting some gangtard get an easy kill. I prefer to stay alive and land with no kills then let someone get an easy victory in overwhelming situation.
