Claim Jumpers - The tales of heroism

[Shuffler]

And you didn't engage them?

On topic... Taking down HQ only leads to less fighting and many more hours of patrolling
the skies, looking for an enemy con to engage. Hardly a "heroic" deed.
BTW your "escorts" would do well to break out from this "avoid combat at any price" mentality.
I had the pleasure of busting one of these HQ "mizzons" recently and had no trouble dispatching
the 2 ponies trying to protect the lancs. At first I felt good about surviving a 2v1 until I realized
that these guys have probably spent most of their time in AH2 avoiding combat. So many in this
game seem afraid to risk their cartoon lives. I'm no uber stick in this game but I have improved
greatly by taking chances and so can you.

Newz gets it.

The big squads should be embraced, they fight the good fight and are worthy of nothing but praise.















At least that is what the 80th's Fuhrer, Mensa, says.

That is not a goal at all. One day up and try fighting. It's what the game is all about. You might find it enjoyable

We do.

We often up from bases that are under attack, is that not fighting?

Most of the time you will see us spread across the map, some attacking, some defending, some in gv's etc.

We're not entirely one dimensional.

I can see the point that when we all fly together it's a pretty gigantic horde, but it has to also be kind of fun for others to stop us, which happens regularly.

In FSO you have very narrow and specific objectives. They were probably instructed to continue to objective.

This one is going to take a while…

Epic failures are still epic!

Ah, the midnight horde.   

It always sucks when  missions actually run into enemy airplanes

Give the kid a break.  He has the good humor to be the self proclaimed CO of Squeaking Death. 

For reasons known only to him, he wanted to write a brief narrative on a mission to hit an HQ.

Do you raise yourself up by putting him down? 

The claim jumpers are awesome!

you guys sure can sit in a 5" and ruin the fight for everyone else!

Ruining the fight for everyone else?  Get over yourself. 

I guess letting buffs hit the CV would be not ruining it for the buff driver.  Heck, shooting down any enemy by any means ruins the fight for him.  HTC should have an ‘everybody wins’ paintball arena, with perks for participation and no score keeping.

I bet you still wtg'd yourselves on country channel anyway per usual

I’ve been trying to keep it on squad channel.  I concede it can be a waste of the text page. 

another post about how fun it is to try and avoid a fight 

Avoiding fights is a subjective cooncept.  The latest fashion is to scream by in a P-47M, taking pot shots and running.  Altitude monkeys, uber plane jockeys, vulchers, and many others can be accused of trying to avoid the fight.

The fighter purists out there are simply incorrect on the concept of air power.  Fighters exist for the control and denial of airspace.  The use of said airspace is to bomb ground targets, transport men and equipment, and observe the enemy.  Fighters dominate the tactical, but are secondary to the strategic.

I spend most of my time in fighters in AH.  It is where the most fun and greatest challenges lie.  However, the strategic aspect of the game is what leads to the best fights.

I like the claim jumpers.. They soo big.. They have a great  breeding program.
A squad that big could do anything when together..                 

We are close, but …  breeding?  I’ll pass on that.

The only thing ive seen them do toghert is take a bunch of hvy jugs and bomba feild and ONLY hit the runway...sad...(half augerd) lol

I can make no claims to jabo proficiency.  There.  Feel superior now? 


Allow me to finish with an old standby:  Live and let live.  Play and let play.

Isn't your whole post rife with what you are trying to argue against?

[Becinhu]

Which would be considered worse? A straight to the town NOE or 10 jabos hitting the hangers FOLLOWED by a straight to town NOE?

I personally have no problems with NOEs...lotsa kills to be had.  NOEs can spur great furballs.  Flying behind the NOE and popping the goon can create excellent 200 reading. I actually get more angry with having a great 4-5 minute 1v1 and have someone come and pick one plane thus ruining the 1v1.

Personally I was an original CJ member.  I left when the squad became too large for my tastes.  No hard feelings they have some great guys (and some tards) but all squads can have this aspect.  However some of the "bashers" on this board call anything over 5 a "horde" so the message becomes lost with the ever changing definition of "horde". Oh man...I just noticed I'm in a horde squad...7 members....

I'm going to go with "no" on this one.

Just answering those with the air of superiority.  There is a tendency on this board for certain people to get snotty with those who don't play their way.  Everyone's way of enjoying the game should be tolerated, at least.

I am an equal opportunity offender...I like to cheese everyone off.

I think my response was about the "air of superiority" of constantly wtg'ing on country channel, unless you really need to feel important, then by all means wtg yourselves silly.

See Stang and B4Busters posts just prior to yours.  Is this not the forums equivalent to a 'wtg?'

There is a core of bullies out there surrounded by a constellation of sycophants that jump on anyone who doesn't think their way.

BTW, I use big words to feel superior.

Quoting the Kinks to feel superior? 

You are only paranoid if no one is really after you...

I am all for silliness.  It can better without so much meanness.
