Correct way to play AH2?

[Slate]

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. My answer is why would I want to get in a turn fight with a plane I can't turn fight with. Them telling me to not BnZ is like me telling them to not BnT.....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!  

 Exactly my opinion. The only rule of war is: "Not to die for your country but make the other bas tard die for his"

Yep....

Actually this is a pretty good example of the lack of nuance...  Absolutely you should fly to your rides strenghts, and not to the opponents strengths.  But if your "flying to your 51s strengths" results in a HO so much...Then I'm not surpised you're getting grief all the time.  Because that is not the result I see from good pony sticks.  It sounds to me like you're doing something other than flying to its strengths.

And please do not tell me AH is war, because it is not, it is a War game. And games are ment to be fun and fair. While war is not ment to be either fair or fun.

(...out of context, but I couldn't resist)  

  that pretty much hits the nail n the head.

Too many get too serious about the game. Many have no ethics. Many say there are no ethics in a game.... but actually it is just those few with no ethics.

Just fly Balls out, all the time. All you ever need to do for just about anything.

turn off 200 and just talk to your squad m8's on vox or ventrillo. play anyway that makes you have a smile on your face and when someone does something dumb walk away.....

  Yes a Game, a Simulation of real war where the consequence of lead was final. Those that choose to play this game play by the rules set by the host not the rules a player or players would impose on others as the "right way to play". If you enjoy the HO then HO. There are ways to avoid it. You enjoy gaming the game to see your name in lights Enjoy yourself. Only you can ruin your day.  Kill or be killed is the key ingredient for the Fighter scores so don't tell me it's not a Simulation of war where that was the rule.

ooh let me catch my breath

 
Let me just add. We'll make it more realistic for ya... Next time you receive a pilot wound, have someone hit ya with a bat.

  Catch your breath baby space ball when you grow up you can take a deep breath.
 and maybe have something to contribute to a discussion.

Looks like you already tried the bat idea... one too many head injuries?

Heh, if you only fly B&Z in the game, I think it's silly to use the "I'll fly my plane's strength" argument.  Sure, you're flying to the P51's strength, but that's all you fly!  The choice to fly B&Z has nothing to do with the plane, it has to do with the player since he chose the plane.

It should be noted though that there are plenty of good sticks who fly B&z'er planes and turn them.

[Murdr]

so don't tell me it's not a Simulation of war where that was the rule.

Yes I did tilt, it has always been as I have said.

We make a game around WWII planes and vehicles. We do not try to simulate WWII. Simulation of WWII is one of   CT's goal's. Then things like ho's start to be used much more like they were in the war. Once there is a substatial penalty on death. And you can win with out shooting down the other guy. Then the choice of to HO or not becomes a very diffferent equation.

But if you try taylor things in the main to be a recreation of WWII tatics, you start to run into major fun limiting restrictions.

AutoPilot: Where does our banner in anyway contradict what I have said. In fact we choose those words very precisly to not give the impression we were a simulation of WWII.

Other wise instead of saying the Preimer WWII combat experiance, we would have said the Preiemer WWII simlation.


HiTech

Some play the game to fulfill the actual parameters that it was designed for, which is to overcome and conquer bases, and eventually the country, thus winning the war/game.

This is a false assumption.


The game was designed to have fun at different types of combat. Conquering bases is just a means to promote combat and hence fun. But by no means is it more or less justified than going out and just mixing it up.

Also while we're talking about Ponies:

Those of you that BnZ in a Pony and use the "flying it to its strenghts" or whatever...have you ever tried turnfighting it?

Where have I seen those before?
