I'm a wee bit ticked.........

[The Fugitive]

Its the general downward trend of game play in the main arenas.

I was helping defend a base yesterday. Upped an A8 to work on the line of buffs that kept coming in....not that I thought they would be trying to carpet bomb all the GVs at the V base  Along comes a high yak cherry picking....err...defending buffs by killing fighters on the buffs. He's got alt and speed on me, and turns in to me. So I figure the fights on. I get him out front of me but blow the shot opportunity, and instead of diving away push the fight. Well he gets the upper hand and all I have left is dive out, so I do. We get to the deck with him 400 off and I head for the field and some support. I'm zig zaggin making my self as tuff to hit as possible while slowing hoping for another over shoot, but it doesn't work and I get killed.

No problem, grab another plane and start back to the fight. So far its all cool, had a good fight, pushed when I should have ran, ran when I had no choice, died to a plane that should have beat me in the terms I supplied by sticking with the fight. Instead of that being that, the guy who shot me down now has to start up with "Stick stirring isn't going to help you Fugitive". So now I have to put up with Mr Big mouthing off. I didn't stick stir, but did maneuver as much as I could to avoid getting shot. He wins the fight and still feels he needs to continue it. So now Mr Big wants to make it personnel  Well thats not the game I'm playing so I squelch another one. Theres more trash talking and name calling going on than there is flying !

Play the game! You make a mistake, take the death or fight your way out of it. Learn a maneuver other than the HO. And if you "need" to talk a big game because yours is so little, spend some time in the TA and learn how to make your game a bit better !

You're not used to this by now?  Its nearly impossible to find a good clean (read: FUN) fight in the MA.  Last one I found, I was in my F6F and was bounced by a Spit.  The guy was good and we both avoided pointing our noses at each other....round and round, up and over....we got close to solutions several times but then lost it.  It was a toss up and I was having a blast as we went around several times......then I see the tracers and turn to see an IL2 out of nowhere

Yes, Its my fault for low SA, but damn I WAS having a good clean fight, then this foo comes in and ruins it.  I don't know if the Spit was crying for a buddy to help or not, either way it completely ruined a good 1V1.  It was still anyones' victory at that point.

If I see a 1V1 happening near me, I always ask if that person is OK.  If they are mounted, then I'll come in and help.  But if they are mixing it up and seem OK, I let them be.

A niki that HO'd and you are ticked? Time to play another game

BLASPHEMY!

All day long its the same thing... you climb and fly to cons (cant say fight) and when they see you they make sure you see them and then they dive under you and stay in the trees so that when you dive to them they can climb and HO you. So as long as you are paying attention you loop over and shoot a stalled plane but after hours and hours of this you get tired of it and try something new like going for the HO.

Or the con that comes over in his perk plane and when he gets in a tight spot turns to hard pushes and pulls to escape:

Its the weekend and I am of the opinion that on weekends its always the worst.

That is one thing that irretates me in the game.  Stick stirring, yank and pull to no end.  No way in real life in a WWII plane could these manevs be pulled off to the extent they do in the game.  First off, the plane wouldn't be able to handle the stress from those type of manevs.  2nd, the pilot wouldn't be able to handle the drastic pos to neg g's that would come from that crap let alone be able to maintain control of the plane.

Hmmm, would things have evolved differently if you had been in the P-51 ?

Yes, I'd would have killed them both with in short order

[Getback]

Why would anyone ever expect a fair fight in MA!? Learned that on day 1. Maybe those that complain about this need to learn some sa. If I go to 2 vs 1 I expect to fight 2 planes regardless of when they enter. I will give uptown the nod for promoting the fight.

If I see a plane friendly fighting a con I will probably fight vulch. Not always but probably. I feel the more friendlies I keep alive the better my chances of survival. Besides I don't know how the fight developed. Was it in fact a fair fight to begin with? Was the con the last of a horde? Did the con have e? Was the con picking and messed up? Just because two planes were fighting doesn't mean it was fair.

There is nothing in the rules that say you have to wait your turn.

[Steve]

Seriously, Uptown.  You were half a second from killing his wingie. Maybe the HO was the only shot he could take in time to clear his mates 6.
Just sayin.

I expect a fair fight because that is how I was raised. If my buddy got into a fight on the playground, I didn't go over and kick the other guy in his head because my dad would kick my butt when I got home.
I've been playing the game long enough to know that a Spit14 and niki both out perform a P40, especallily if they have a 5K alt avantage.

You are crying because a guy cleared his wingie's 6.  Unbelievable. I've been picked a time or two off someone's 6 by your squad mates.  Do you intend to stay in that squad?

Yeah I know Steve. This was a weak whine at best but dangit, it just irks me that I had both those guys out flown in a piece of crap and the one had to result to a dirty tactic to kill me. That's all I'm saying.

Well I'm playing a bit of the turd here. I see your point in that you feel you outflew a superior plane  and earned that kill.

It was funny last night because Sads was complaining about the same thing I was (no fair fights). So I go over to where he's at in hopes of a good dogfight. But when i get there I merge with 2 F4Us a C&D, both ho...I dive away and look back and have I bet 10 behind me all in a line and bullets flying everywhere Needless to say I parked the P40 and went to bed 

[MonsterZer0]

A the p40 is not a piece of crap! Give her a chance and don't give up on her.
