Correct way to play AH2?

[Banshee7]

Is it just me, or are the EW/MW "aces" really funny to watch?

-Have respect for your opponent,  Don't assume things that aren't true.
-Honourable exchanges win or lose.
- and above all else have FUN.

NB,
   The reason I'm not in a listening mood is no matter what is said or explained there is going to always be 2 sides to this coin. So no matter how much this topic is discussed, there is never going to be an agreement. So why keep going over and over it on the all channel or even here? If I want to hear non stop complaining all I need to do is take my headphones off go downstairs and ask the wife "what did I do now"? LOL
 Really I see both agruments,but there will never be an agreement being both sides have viable points. But when the same guy who is complaining about game play goes and hangs out at a field where some new guy keeps lifting and then keeps killing him while said new guy is in awe of this guys skill..... well it seems the pot is calling the kettle black.

Granted alot of people wish for "the good ole days" but I hate to say those days are gone. Either accept things the way they are and accept the changes, or people are just gonna be miserable and take thier misery out on others.


Like I said in a previous thread I enjoy myself each time I log on regardless of who's doing what. I feel sad for those who log on to something that should be fun and they have such a miserable time.

Stick...

I'm not wishing for the good ole days. I simply have been around long enough to know just how much better this game can be. On a related note, do you know how HT views complaints about headons and the gunnery system? He says, "I designed a very realistic gunnery system. It's not my fault that people use it in an unrealistic way." (this was paraphrased to prevent damage to my spell checker). In point of fact, the same could be said for MA game play these days. The only way the MA game becomes valid, as a capture the flag game, is if HT institutes draconian side balancing measures. But, that won't happen because capture the flag isn't the point of the MA.

As for your analogy about someone big dealing it because the can vultch the same newby over and over, I find it insulting. If that is what you think I do....we have misjudge each other.

Of course it isn't. I'm no "ace"....everyone I kill simply sucks more than I do.

To add to this if you don't mind....I like the turn guys who complain about being ho'ed by the Pony's, F4U's etc.

You DO realize that either forcing or accepting a head on pass with your popular turners is supremely stupid since most of them (Spit, N1K, Hurricane, even the Zeke) have cannon armament and can either destroy or put your plane out of a fight quite easily with a HO? Why take such an abysmal risk when you can extend from them whenever you like?

I'll admit that some, HurrIIc and N1Ks especially, seem to think swapping ends and HOing is a guns defense, even when it is 1v1 and they have plenty of energy for other options. This is annoying and tempts one to respond in kind. However, in the long run you are better off learning to avoid and turn their HO attempt against them.

Uptown,

I have asked the same question and you know what you will never get a straight answer.
A squad I was flying with even got told that they took a base "the wrong way".

People will sit there and tell ya your doing it wrong without any idea of what they consider "the right way" even is.

lol stick ... your squad was told nothing ... the two dive bombing 24 pilots were told that was lame. I know you condone those things and that's fine. But it does not make it any better than lame. Some squads pretty much accept anyone and everyone regardless of how they play. That is fine too. Just don't expect to gain any respect in that type of play.

You can go bowling and throw the ball three lanes over and make a strike..... but that doesn't make it right.

One thing they can do is go to the TA and a trainer will be glad to teach them how to bomb.

I fly the Pony with the tactics that better suit the abilities of my chosen ride and I really don't see any fault in that. So if I HO you guys in your turn planes quit sending me nasty messages because I'm not sorry and I want answer you!  

If you HO in a pony you are not using tactics that suit the ability of your chosen ride.

While I may comment on the rest of your post...this lil gem really stood out. Mostly because I remember you whining at me for not going toe to toe with your zero in my P47. Keep wearin' the pancake...it works for you. 

I may have said it to you at the time, chances are I was trying to pick a fight since I wouldn't been able to catch ya! I'm not a complainer by trade. In fact I freely admit I'm a marginal dogfighter at best.

As for Shuff, believe it or not I could have easily climbed to whatever height you deemed appropriate and dropped your hangers just the same. In fact I would be willing to bet you its much easier to do so. Dive bombing in buffs isn't as easy as it looks.
