Well, I've had about enough.
It's so enjoyable to log into a game I pay money for and get harassed by people who are jealous that a newcomer can do well. The ironic part is that if I totally sucked at this game, people wouldn't care. But since I DARE to actually maintain a positive score most days, I'm some sort of cloaked threat to AH2.
LYNX, I think it's completely pathetic how you act towards me. As you claim, it's not that I can outfly and outfight you (Which I did on day 1 or 2) it's that I 'talk' like a vet here on the forum.
ORLY?
Gee. I looked through these forums and didn't see any detailed AARs. I didn't see anyone relating their experiences daily. I didn't see hardly any people on here talking about POSITIVE aspects of the game.
So who am I then? Since appearently all the true "vets" on here type up detailed AARs, why don't we just go look through old AARs and match it up with mine? Oh wait. There are none.
So if vets don't do AARs like mine, how does typing an AAR make me a vet?
I guess it's knowing what a barrel roll is. Or that the Zeke is nimble but doesn't dive well. Or.. *GASP* knowing what compression is. According to the jealous haters, knowing avionics makes me an AH2 vet.
Funny, because AH2 isn't the end all of flight sims. There
are people other than your self-centered selves who know terminology, who know manuvers, who know WWII machinery.
I've read real-life AARs from WWII and have emulated them for the purposes of entertainment and getting pumped up for AH2 even when I'm not actually playing it. I've watched and listened to interviews with WWII vets, including pilots and amazingly enough I've picked up enough to be able to type a good AAR.
So what is your proof?
1.) That I actually did well my first week?
Well that would just make you into some jealous fools, wouldn't it? Assuming that someone good with a stick and with a little practice can't dogfight is absolutely ridiculous. If you flew sims against some of my buddies, you'd be contemplaing suicide because they're a dang sight better than me.
2.) That I write good AARs?
Excuse me for being creative. Excuse me for documenting my fights. Excuse me for sharing my fun with other people. You know what the most pathetic thing is? Folks don't
HAVE to read my AARs. They don't have to click "reply" and then type about how mad they are, and I must be a "shade". It's truely sad, truely pathetic and speaks massive volumes about your character.
What would have been ten times funnier is if I would have copy & pasted some of the AARs I've got in a WWII book I have into this and replaced real-world terminology with AH2 terminology. Especially AARs from rookie British pilots during the Blitz. Folks would have been RABIDLY screaming that those accounts were from AH2 vets.
So here's my stand. Either find some evidence that I'm a shade and out me, OR stop being amazinhunks, come over to Knights and talk to me for a while with vox. You'll soon realize I'm NOT your old enemy. I'm NOT some ace from bygone days. I just happen to be good at video games.
