MA Gameplay Got You Down?

[CAP1]

another clueless noob  ....12 on 12 gun solutions are a fact of life ....get over it ....If you had any skills at all you would realise how to beat sombody going for a HO ....It is not hard at all  ....I'm sure it will take you to 2013 to figure it out .

hhmm........that leads to a good idea.

why don't you have a clinic in the Ta on basic ho avoidance?

follow that up with advanced ho avoidance, and taking advantage of the bad position that the ho'er put himself in.


it would be helpful to a lot of us that have(according to you) absolutely no skillz.

haha ...you joking  right? ...avoiding a HO is very easy ....you really need a manual? ....and by the way ....I didn't mention your name at all ...was responding to someone telling me to be a POW for 4 years ...you might want to improve your reading comprehension ..

i know.


you sound as if you forget what it's like to be new here though. the majority of the ho'ers i come across are vets. i've very rarely ever been ho'd by a noob. they'll have no clue how to avoid it.
 i'm only average....probably on the low side of that.....and i'm maybe 50-50 avoiding it. i fly the 38 a lot, and i've been picking my fights differently. in a furball......well, they're expected, as ya take what ya can get. in a 1-1? not so much. i wa in a fight with llgaf. he was 1 vs many. really only i was chasing him. never once did he even come close to trying a ho. he was in it for the right reason. he was having fun(i think).
 i'm finally starting to pick up who the "other guy" might be based on what he's flying, and how he merges. i then know whether or not to expect it.

 the other thing you have to remember, is that there's guys that seemingly practice nothing but ho's. they seem prepared for any avoidance maneuver you may try. then of course, they'll claim it wasn't, because you didn't have a guns solution.

 me personally? i'll do it if it's done to me. i'll do it if i'm outnumbered. i want a fight. i don't just want to see hit sprites, then a big boom as you blow up. if i only wanted that, i'd fly something with new jets where i could engage BVR.

on the other hand....it could be fun to know that the guy that likes his realism is getting zapped by a tens or something as his plane is getting shot. or since he wants it, he doesn't have to be a pow.....he can spend the night making his way back to friendly territory.

I perfer the MA because of the "come as you are" 

Who doesn't?
That's exactly what I'm trying to promote....a "come as you are" mentality.

[j500ss]

Beating a HO, hmmmmm,  not real tough, but as CAP says, not exactly easy either. In my experiences, beating a " any given angle frontal shot" damn near impossible. Especially from the " more seasoned sticks" as it were.  

Heres a thread where the OP actually has a legit idea, wants to make the effort to provide something positive to the "game players" and the best, the majority who have posted have is, " Oh thats a terrible idea"   . It'll never work,   suppose someone told Wilber and Orville that?  Man, what if they would have listened  

Maybe the bigger problem with the game ( and according to many there is a problem ) isn't the people, but maybe their attitudes!

Newz, I like the idea, not sure the DA is the place, but ya know what? NO ONE! will know for sure until it is tried, so by all means I say go for it. And yea I'll give it a go, what do I have to lose?  Thats right NADA!!!!

The "HO" topic is D.O.A.

Thanks for the tip!
I'm only interested in communicating with other like minded individuals who are looking
for solutions within the framework HTC has provided. If you had read you would have seen
that it is not "just another HO whine thread".

It attempt's to offer a solution.

To the folk who have offered well wishes and <S>s, thanks! <S>

Could work..... can't hurt to try.

Thanks Shuffler, I think I might have to do a little more explaining before some folk'l come around.
For example, I'm confident we can find 28 people in this community who do not need policing.
They know to log on and fly for lower number side.
They subscribe to the theory... if in doubt about ho? ....guns cold and go around.
Simple, plain, common sense.
I should probably expand on this in the "squad area" but who would read it?
This is more an attempt to create a H2H room in the DA.
Any helpful suggestions from any interested parties are welcome.

NEWS FLASH: ....HO's actually occurred in WW2!!!! ....get over it


They are mentioned in account after account by WW2 aviators ...from all nations ...in all time periods

......stop whining about HO's  ....that horse is was beat to death 9 years ago ....maybe trying searching the topic???

you would be well advised to follow the advice of boxing referee's ....."Defend yourself at all times"

The "HO" topic is D.O.A.

News Flash.  People risked really dying when they took a HO shot in WW2 as well.  Not a factor here, so the 'it happened in WW2" excuse comes up short.  It's not a justification for using it in AH.  In a one life event, go for it.  But when your life doesn't matter and you get a new plane if you miss, its just an easy way out of actually working for the shot

A HO is the John Wayne merge face to face guns blazing.

[newz]

Half the reason why someone can even come up with the question "does MA gameplay got you down?" is because they play too much. 

Exactly the opposite. I'm finding I log on less and less and for shorter duration.

[Anaxogoras]

Yeah, but I looked at your stats, and you've spent more than 24 hours in the late war main arena this month (I didn't check other arenas).  Despite the insane number of hours we spend playing AH, that's still a lot when you compare it to other hobbies you might have.  As you state, this is less time than what you usually spend playing the game, so to me it's no wonder that you're burnt out.

Since I've cut my AH time way back from what it used to be, the ho'ing, ganging and other crap just doesn't bother me that much.  It's there, but I laugh at it or shrug it off much more easily than I used to.

[CAP1]

ok, here's the deal.


i was one of the ones that was guilty of taking this too seriously. waaayyy too seriously.

 then my sciatica flared up. it was bad this time 'round. really bad. at one point, i couldn't work for more than 15-20 minutes at a time, and then i had to lay on the floor to let everything "unknot". this went on for almost two full months.
 the little time i was able to get in here, this game helped me forget that pain. even if it was only 1/2 hour.

 as it started easing off, my toe got infected.....so here i am, just about back to normal, and WHAMO!! another knockdown punch. now i could hardly walk, it was so bad. got that handled last night at the docs office....as mentioned in that thread i was trying to kill.

 my point? although relatively minor, compared to problems others have, these 2 things almost brought me to a halt. they showed me what i SHOULD be worried about. real life. that's why i'm able to laugh at them now.(the doc asked me"do you REALLY want to take a picture of that?", and laughed his arse off when i said yes.) that's why i come in the game, and do whatever makes it fun for me. i don't worry about what anyone else thinks i should be doing, or what anyone else wants me to do. if what i'm being asked to do sounds fun, then i'll do it...otherwise, i'll continue doing what i was.


 so.....newz.......you do what you want. you're trying to make things better...even if it's only one little part. don't give up. come to mw sometime. don't worry about the naysayers. ignore them, and do whatever makes this game fun for you.

newz if this gets off the ground i'm IN sounds like fun........CAP your always talking about furballs in midwar ......news flash those are far from furballs your calling a base take with a few uppers and you guys picking them off that's called VULCHING big difference remember i flew with the knits since the split and ya i do know the way they do things and that is 1 of the reasons i switched  ........and avoiding the HO yes it is easy to avoid 9 out of 10 times can be done no problem

noooooooo........furballs are where there's lots of enemy, and lots of friendlies. they do happen. if i can't find one against the knights, then i go join one between the rooks n bish.

 and FYI......i don't vulch, although i HAVE been vulched many many times. 

[RipChord929]

Yep, I logon hardly at all anymore... For a while it was fun to be a single guy and deny the base capture to a gaggle of 10..
But being pummeled constantly gets to be a drag after a while too..

sorry over this not hijacking newz post anymore ..........
