LOL - Now THAT is funny!!

Telling Thor he doesn't know ACM is like saying the "sun rises in the east!".....and before you put more feet in your mouth - the sun actually doesn't "rise" at all - the earth rotates. Circle-fighters - wadda ya expect! :neener:

This is all TOO funny - you made my day - thanx!!

....cheers eh! :D


I know a lot about football.  

That doesn't mean I can play in the NFL.

Thorism flies in AcesHigh about as well as I would do being a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Nobody says Thorism doesn't "know" about ACM and BFM; he just doesn't really DO much ACM or BFM when flying in AcesHigh.

I for one will be curious how he does after 2-3 years of practice.

Actually, it's a reasonably large mutual admiration society we have here.

The little one is back in WarBirds.

You can be one of the best pilots in WarBirds and only be "decent" in AcesHigh.

There is a huuuuuge diff. between of a player base of hundreds vs. a player base of thousands when it comes to skill level.  

One can only get "so" good fighting the same dozen pilots night after night.

Sorry Ded, I get the point but I just can't help this one :)

Guess your Grandfather must have been somewhere else.  Some serious combat took place near A17 considering it was south of Carentan and north of St. Lo.  50th FG, 9th AF Jugs stationed at A17 :)

Allied strips on the continent were all numbered like that.


You know I will hunt you down for that  :furious

The world is flat.
The cheque is in the mail.
Castro won't last a year in power.
HO'ers don't know ACM.

Just because you may want something to be true doesn't mean it is. <shrug>

Some people live in a fantasy world - sad really.

These HO whines are really nothing more than "sour grapes" by people not smart enough to avoid a HO - easiest thing in the world to do - and of course if you avoid it then it could not have been a HO in the 1st place. (funny you don't hear them complaining when they win a HO).

What this really is all about is a group who feel this game should only be about circle-fighting and nothing else - what they want is the MAIN turned into the DA ...... gimme a break fer xrists sakes!!

Go have your little fights over there in the DA - that's what it was made for - those who have an interest in finding out about other aspects of aircraft combat other than just circle-fighting should be allowed to without being insulted and abused almost daily on the forum or on 200.

It's interesting that it is only one style of players that is constantly demanding that everyone has to play their way since they have been given the "holy" word from on high.

I'm not here to give them their "thrill" at my expence - I'm here to have "my" fun which may be different from theirs - you don't hear me demanding they have to stop playing their style - matter of fact their style is perfect for my style - please KEEP having  your little "fights". Gives me more targets.

I pride myself in constantly flying a high ENY plane NOT suited to cirlce-fighting - why - because I enjoy the challenge (I can't shoot straight tho) - so I consider the source and motives when I hear spit/51/ki/F4's etc demanding I circle fight them in my A8 - ain't gonna happen jack!! Not to say when I have the advantage I won't go in and mix it up close but when it gets down to a "fair" fight then I'm outa Dodge tout de sweety sally!

Only idiots play this game "fair" -if they want to win that is - if this was supposed to be a "fair" game then there would only be 1 plane type and everyone would have an equal chance - of course then it could not be called a WWII Aircraft Combat Game.

So if you want "fair" fights then go to the DA and everyone fly the same plane/same load out. Otherwise keep your abuse to yourself if you please.

With all due respect of course!!

....cheers eh!! :D

I have to agree with Wreked here.  Tell it like it is brother!

And only idiots preach against those who they don't like preaching, and then suggest a single way to 'win' in playing a game.

Probably better to just shut up and fly and not worry about how others want you to play the game.

I never argue with idiots guppy - they only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. So you'll understand why I'll just pass you by.

With all due respect of course.

Nice side step. 

Again it's ironic you don't want folks to tell you how to play, yet you then talk about how folks should play. 

Just a tad on the hypocritical side wouldn't you say?

Since work rarely lets me off before FSO starts, how about we do it in the DA instead?  We can up one of the high alt basis so you'll feel at home.

Nah, he'd rather ask you to fight him in an environment where you wont be able to tell who he is where he is coming from, how high he is and how many he has with him.  Although, my bet would be to look for the third plane joining an engagement lol

ok you wanna fight me here is the deal ...

its like levels first you have to be good enough to get me to even terms ...

then you need to be good enough to prevent me from reestablishing the advantage or extending ...

you see, i will fight anyone when that is my best or last option ...

hell i will even take a few even odds swipes in my a8 if i think i can get away with it ...

the funny thing is, truth be told, i am a pretty aggressive pilot.  ask anyone who knows ...
