The Cherry picker outing Thread

[dhyran]

ok lets go,

Yes, i am an high alt monkey, a cherry picker, there no better feeling of diving in with 480mph, 1 second blazing guns, BOOM, zoom out waiting for the next one  

High alt Monkeys, your move now!

P.S. mud crawlers and tank driver, please stay out of this thread, we need psycho therapy silence here

hiho Panos,

yes, i remember you very well from last evening, the B&Z show at 77 was a blast, wasn't it?

I know people say the defintion of "Picker" hass changed alot lately but I know the bad version to be someone who will kill a guy who is already getting ganged but flys in at 450 from out of nowhere to steal kill from guys actually doing the work low with the enemy. BNZ is a valid tactic especially in some of the situations when Joker Jokers are hording over a field

Doesn't surprise me, after all, what are effective wingman tactics but organized picking?

As for me, I fly the D9. Nuff said.

As for diving in to kill someone who is already being ganged, I look at it from a team perspective. I would probably be better serving my team staying high and out of the fight and covering my friends from enemy pickers than diving in trying to get the kill.

So no, I generally don't do what you've mentioned, Junky.

I am not a picker, I prefer "vertical engagement pilot"!

Thats what I try to tell people who do it, glad to see some people still have brains in this game

noooo thats not my intention,

coming down from 22k, killing the climber who went just through the clouds at 16k is the biggest fun. doing so, i was l alot of times called cherry picker , alt monkey and much more, i was closed to get depressive

i dont shot at smokers or stuff

All depends on your point of view.

What is smart flying and good wingman tactics from one side becomes cherry picking and hording from the other.

Long & the short of it is everyone dies. If you died you made a mistake, someplace. Look for it, accept it, learn from it, and move on.

Planes are free, grab a new one and try again.
