Stop dropping FHs....

[thndregg]

I know it's been asked for before but I think it is time to add contrails to the bomber formations, this would also give everyone an idea of what's going on up above the clouds.

That would be some nice eye-candy.

[Bronk]

Uh, no I don't.  Perhaps there IS an attempt at grabbing the base or soon will be.  Furballers for the most part don't seem to be able to process more information than what it takes to shoot at the plane in front of them.

I still think furballers belong in the DA.

LOL  what  is more information overload.

A. noe...drop town... drop troops
B. 20+ plane furball

Hmmm... decisions....decisions

The decision is easy bring it to 20k feet! Let's rumble!   

or is everyone of you OP monkeys a big 'ol 

Just kidding but seriously a fly on the wall as told me about a large bomber mission tonight, look to the stars in fear for the 91st is inbound with eggs (no (pun intended thndregg) and when people look back on this night you will tell them "no that is not a falling star, it's an OP monkey falling in a ball of flame!".

first off........

furballers need to process a LOT of info.

what's the guy in front going to do? what can my plane do better than his? what's above, behind, below me? how fast am i going? how much alt do i have if i stall? there's more.

 secondly. some of us do other things besides furball too.

[Ciaphas]

I've tried to furball, I'm to lethargic for that style of game play.. my eyes see the con then it takes a few seconds for my brain to say "pull trigger" the odd thing is that my brain can say "whooops" while flailing my arms with no delay...uhm..

Good furballers, to be one you must have very good SA, are processing E-states of many planes(foe and friend), arrivals, departures,  plane capabilities, pilot tendencies, angles, etc etc.; all the while trying to stay alive, keep their plane flying, and perhaps get a gun solution now and then. This process is constantly running, as it is very dynamic, changing fluidly and endlessly in a furball.   
A stick who is unable to process more information than what it takes to shoot a plane in front of him isn't a furballer, he's a target.


Either you have no idea what goes through a good furballers mind or you are trolling.

[Ciaphas]

The amount of information that needs or get's processed is inherent to the mission that a person has chosen to fly.  If you think a particular mission lacks in skill and uberness then don't fly that mission, don't smack talk or knowingly ruin someones fun because you have a god complex.  Which brings us back to the original point of this thread, everyone should show enough respect to honor peoples wishes, most do but there are those that are hell bent on degrading peoples fun factor just to degrade it.

I wish there was an internet gnome that could travel from PC to PC to punish those who are purposely degrading other peoples fun factor just because they can't be throttled by the people they are online with.

Good friggin post Steve.

Previously chewed gum anyone?

[SlapShot]

I'm "pretty sure".  Classic example to prove my point would be right after a base capture.  How many furballers will stick around to defend it until the town starts repopping?  It's of no interest to them.  They'll just fly off to the next furball.

Absolutly correct ... now why don't you and your "sneaky" leet base takers stick around and defend what you just took ? ... or does that not interest you "sneaky" leet base takers ? ... or are you "sneaky" leet base takers above such a task ? ... I would guess that latter, after all you are "sneaky" leet ...

That would require a plan that covers both before and after action... The L33T base rapers seldom have a plan that extends further than the base take. Some do though, When I flew with the C-hawks we would grab a base and defend it with everything that we had or if we wanted a more forward strike base we would steamroll a few bases to give us an advantage in map position so our crew could roll without having to fly to terribly far.

OH, believe me, the "sneaky" leet base takers DO stick around to defend.  And it's usually tough going for them since the horde of "I am GOD" furballers bail to the next furball as soon as there's nothing left to shoot at.

All the while ignoring the pleas for help with enemy gvs laying your town to waste, or taking the time to shoot down the last 2 or three buildings so troops in town could be let out, or dragging bogies low over town while troops are trying to get in.

Shoot down a couple buildings, helping with gvs?  Heh, there's no skill in that.  Let the dweebs do it, I'm gonna stay over the field so I can start vulching as soon as the hangers repop.
