"arcade" style players - get me to the action as fast as I can - this is some sort of war of honour/knights jousting etc etc - fair play enters in here in a big way.


I'd call them (us) "sport" style players, personally.  "Arcade" doesn't really fit, IMO.

Either that or Marseille-styled players, as opposed to Hartmann-styled players.

I like a fight on the deck. Last night a few of the 80th were on and I don't think any of us ever got over 5k. The cons were coming in around 6 to 10k. It was great. You'll learn more about what you and your plane can do by staying low. Just because someone has a physical advantage does not mean they have all the marbles.  :aok

As I said : there will always be "arcade/sports" players AND "sim" players.
Interesting that some feel it necesary to to sing the praises of their style while speaking degradingly of the other. <shrug>

Regardless of your style there is never any reason IMHO to speak down about someone elses play. How YOU play is obviously right for you - doesn't mean for everyone else.

Takes all kinds I guess....go figure eh!

One thing people would be wise to think about when trying to apply any sort of historical doctrine or lesson here is that the stakes are completely different.  If my life is on the line the a lot of what Boelke advocates makes sense, I sure as hell am going to try and stack the odds as much in my favor as possible.  

This is a game, if you lose your plane you get a shiny new one immediately, in an armed conflict it's the results that matter.  Here we have the luxury of appreciating how those results are achieved.

No offense but, I don't see the problem...he opens fire, do a little jig and light him up...but then I'm seeing a lot of people here that view HOs as noob tactics...for me it's better than giving the other guy an opportunity to get behind me...

This is a game.  It's meant to be fun.  The fun is in the fight and pitting your skills against your opponents skills.

If flying for 5 minutes to arrive and then taking a 50-50 chance on a joust is what you like then go for it.  You'll always be a .5 K/S flyer and be viewed as a n00b.

Krusty the one thing you have in your favor is no one expects much from you so we're never disappointed.

Apparently Bear has no sense of humor, nor can he read any.

My ... such hostility.


In case anybody ELSE has issues reading sarcasm or telling when folks are just being silly, I was being both in my "Marseille is a cherry picker" and my "more of a vulch" posts.

I get a kick out of how wound up some get over this game.

After over three years of play I noticed that ive been hoed several times by many of those that cry the loudest about being hoed.

If your being hoed, then your hoing back 9 times out of 10 anyway. 

A Flying Tiger lives in my town and will tell you the ho is a valid and effective tactic, one which he used many times.  I dont think I will call him a noob.  (and yes I understand this is a game and that was real life).  I just hear a lot of folks talking about tactics.

I always figured if I want to avoid the ho that is what the DA is for.

Also, if someone turns into me on a ho, I can avoid them 9 out of 10 times.

I dont go up looking for the ho but if you turn into me and start firing, your gonna get shot in the face.

Had a few cry on 200 after I won the joust and they went guns first on me.

I guess my point is, why does this get folks so worked up. 

Im here to have fun and its a kick to meet new folks.  If I get in a bad situation, I switch air fields.  But thats just me, not telling anyone what to do.  Just my opinion.

Fly on.  <S>
