Aww don't take the insults too seriously.   I've already asked you to show films of your claim that so many fights occur over 15k... your answer is what, to ask me to post films?  lol.. maybe you should follow your own council and get a grip.   :aok

Were people to care enough to spend a minute to post, they'd tell you the same thing I'm telling you:  almost all kills occur  below 15k.

Think about it: If I'm successful at getting kills below 10k, who am I killing? In other words, in order for me to get kills below 10k, there must be people there to kill.

Now, I get about 10 kills per hour, which is by no means exceptional but it's not on the low end either. Obviously there's plenty of targets below 10k.

would i be out of place to say that those "below 15k" kills are from the guys diving from over 20k, hitting em, and climbing back up to their perch?    :noid :noid


and i am NOT aiming that at you dude.......just bringing up a point.


there was an awsome 10k and below fight near a55 the other night in mw.....till a 190, and a 47 came over at 20k+........

Where they die and where they fly, are two different animals.
I am not asking for films, I am asking for you to prove your claim that 1% of all fights occur at 15k+, Kills are another thing and usually result from them coming down from those alts and would die below 15k, but the fight started well above the alt they died in.
since I already know that when I fly against Rooks in particular, that this alt if not more than 15k is the usual alt you encounter them.  15k is usually just at the cloud layer, and thats where I have to go to get to them and many times they are well over that and I still have to climb to get at them.  

If you had said that maybe 10% of fights were at 15k or above, I may have bought that, but not 1%.  


I very rarely see a con above 12k anymore. 

Now, while we're at it,


Well, here's the problem with the above quote.  I have flown for every country for extended amounts of time, and honestly, I see more Bish in the nose bleed sections thatn I do Rooks.  Don't take offense to that (since I know you fly Bish only), but this is an observation I've made in my AH career.

No offense taken, but yes I for one have been flying higher since that is where I have to go to get them or find myself getting picked from ones that are at those alts.

I will be the first to admit that I HATE fighting 38's.  Most ponies will go to deck and run, spits will stick stir their pretty little pirouettes, but 38's can be devastating in the right hands.  I for one, can NEVER properly judge their E state. 

I look forward to fighting you, VonMessa, once engaged you fight the fight and don't run 6k out. Imho, you are probably the most aggressive stick in JG11.  :aok

I enjoy being that high up in scenarios, or whenever there is something historical to be done.

As Lazer said I'm happy the 38 has that rep instead of the "win teh wor" one.

Films?   I dont get paid to play and provide "proof" for something that everyone except you realize.  
Just the word Rook invokes Hi-Alt fights well over 8k, certainly many times over 15-20k will you find 51's and luftwaffe planes hovering over a furball.  

Films?  :lol    




If we can't climb up to you, how are we supposed to fight you? :P

had a decent time friday evening. some fun fights over near p63 and a60. most were nice low alt fights........a couple alt monkeys, so on one run, i took the time to climb up to where i expected to find em. the only one i found that time was a 110 that was slightly higher than me. he dove right by me, trying to hit a lower guy, and when he missed, blew his E, and i gave chase, he ran straight for his ack.  :rolleyes:

 no ho attempts all night!! :D

Just to throw a different bone at the fire - i've noticed a big improvment in the overall quality of the game as of late. Perhaps its just perspective talking, but all sides have had a heavier emphasis on combined arms and cooperation between air/ground/sea units when taking objectives. The Rooks the other night instigated some epic battles that raged from 10-20k and took a tremendous toll on both sides. Some of the large squads made that effort fun again - instead of singular assets going against 20 guys.

Aircraft seemed to plan their ingress and exit strategy more - GVs were lending mutual support with AA supporting the tanks intermixed within the line while moving. Jabos did their best by plinking AA with rockets from 3k away and occasionally aircraft.

Blah, anyways - its raining in NYC. I've got a construction punchlist 8 pages long with a list of subcontractors as long that owe me work. HT, thanks!

We Rooks still can't take a base for squat.  Of course, we don't usually care either, but...
