too many repeat urbanlegand crap and belittle new players.

[rod367th]

1. No it doesn't take two to HO. A ho by both is nose to nose both not trying to maneuver in any way.
2. Pick is not guy with more alt. Pick is killing another while he is engaged with a friendly.
3. NOE is 499ft or less and always has been.
4. just because guy is low rank under say 20 means hes a score ho is dumb. ( if his bomber hit% over 600 and attack bomb hit over 400% he is trying for score other tan that hes just playing game well rounded out)
5. just because a guy breaks off doesn't always mean he scared or chicken. Means he has good SA and See's he is outnumbered or out of fuel soon or low ammo or sees your help coming in to pick him)
6. Head-on attacks were taught by US, GB, and Luftwaffe's on enemy planes and Japanese on bombers only/.go back Thu BBS u can find pages from my fathers fight manual teaching Head-on attacks, and read about thatch weave you Will see it was used. Also chuck Yeager's was shot down trying to ho a 190. so u can imagine if he was using I'm sure allot tried it in real life too.


now for treating of new people.

1. why do a few of you think its funny to say alt f4 to any question by a new player. This game needs new players to grow and help htc build a better platform.

2. if you don't want to him them stay quiet play your game, but to butt in while others try to help is just plain ignorance.

3. telling them to leave to go training or calling them squeakers. instead of just letting others help them shows at least me i want them in the game more than i would like u in the game

4. telling them that spitfire is a dweebs plane is ridiculous. There are no dweeb planes every plane has its good points and its disadvantages.



  Best thing if new or fairly new is just play game and have fun your way. ignore the guys that will try to belittle others in a game. But please always ask before sending a request to fly in someones plane. its the polite thing to do.

Sounds like your tired of defending yourself from all of the above.

But I agree with you on all but the first.

actually, it doesn't take two. '
if your sole intent is to ho me, and i try to maneuver away from it,. regardless if it's successful or not, you ho'd me.
 i know what you;re gonna say next....it's a hi angle deflection shot.........wrongo.

[Wingnutt]

while we are on urban legends..  how about addressing..


dropping friendly troops on a town kills any enemy troops that have entered.

landing at strat targets will give you a landed successfully / ditch.

bombing a hangar that is already down will make it stay down longer.

having 2 throttles will give you the ability to make the p38 turn much sharper and do "uber" moves.. its a "must have" (really sick of hearing that one)

you can land field supplies on a CV and repair it.


there are more I just cant think of them ATM.

We would all like you to go to the TA with him if you want to clog the text buffer with your explainations on how to do basic things to someone who wont read the help files.

Spitfires are really easy planes to fly and new folks can get a lot of confidence in such a forgiving plane that does not require as much experience to get a kill.

If it's a friendly factory and you're on concrete it will

[Lusche]

If it's a friendly factory and you're on concrete it will

The concrete at factories as no influence on landing result at all. It just like any other spot on the map:
In a plane, it will always result in ditch or capture (depending on the ownership of the closest tower)
In a GV you may get a "landed succesfully" if no enemy is around. But that is also possible at any other place on the map (including enemy bases) and isn't a result of being on concrete.

(see this short 133kb film: ki-84 landing on concrete at AA factory: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4b12b5cc24a8b0abc74f70ddb56f9ac856485f8f05165657 )

unless you're doing stall speeds the only real person you can whine to about being ho'd is yourself.. that's why you'll never see me or any of the guys in our squad whining about it (if they do we give them a lesson in evasive manuevering). Someone trying to ho me is them coming at me donut front because a few moments later I'm blowing rounds into them. Why would anyone ever want to complain about a guy who's intent on giving me an advantage in a fight by trying to ho me.

The day I have sympathy for someone calling out a HO'er...

As for the ALT f4 thing... It's just pathetic. Fortunately most people who know how to use a computer know that it's pretty much a universal shut down command.

weird, only time i've seen friendly troops go into a map room is if some enmy troops have already gone in.  otherwise they just disapear when you drop them.

I think that's depending on auto ack being up or not...

[DadRabit]

town ded, no ack, enmy drops troops, sum troops get killed.  drop friendly troops, they go to map room.  just what i've seen.  dunno if it really works but it is fun

5. just because a guy breaks off doesn't always mean he scared or chicken. Means he has good SA and See's he is outnumbered or out of fuel soon or low ammo or sees your help coming in to pick him)

What about when a guy breaks from a 1v1?  That's when I call them chicken toejam.

Ok, I was just informed by Baumer that he was able to safely land at a city in LWB.

That made me go onlibe and do several tests again.

Result: Indeed you seem to be able to safely land a plane on any City strat, I tested it on two different maps in different arenas. That's somewhat odd as it never worked in earlier versions.
However, I tried to land on different factory strat targets, both in LWB and EW (2 different factories each) all being "friendly". Despite ending up on concrete perfectly, I always got a "ditch.

[Banshee7]

snip

You will get a ditch when landing at strats other than the city.  The way he said it states that you will not get a Land OR ditch.  I don't think that's what he means though. 


oops..didnt see your last post
