Sometimes....

[stodd]

  I remember when the griefers (claim jumpers) had launched a huge NOE hord mission to capture a v-base. At that time the V base was right at a huge double spawn battle that was a ton of fun. I asked them if they could hit a different field because their was a great battle going here. One of em got back to me with "NO were taking it, what ya gona do about it?"   Darn, I was defeated. As a last ditch effort, I figured id ask them one more time, this time over 200 instead of country. The other tankers and I thought it was kinda funny. Within 20 seconds of me saying that 1/2 my text buffer filled up with pm's from the claim jumpers screaming. I dont think they got the base.

  They associate as they wish.  99% of people in AH choose not to be Claim Jumpers. 

I'd say 97 or 96...I mean, you guys do have 15 wings or something.

Base capture and defense often result in excellent combat.  Apparently not your cup of tea.  No big deal.  There is a whole other thread on ‘why do people want me to die their way?’

I'm not against base capture - never said that.  I'm against NOE mishuns where the whole intent is to sneak up to a base and level it in 30 seconds for a quick capture.  It doesn't generate combat.  Come in at normal altitude and fight for the capture - I'll up and fight for the defense.

PS:  NOE, or using stealth in attack has been a valid military tactic for centuries.  Sun Tsu discussed the tactic in "Art of War".  The tactic has been used by many successful operation planners, including Washington, Forrest, Eisenhower, etc.  It DOES generate combat.  If it works too fast for you personally, you might need to keep a keener eye on the map.  All the tell-tale signs are there.

I’ve been trying lately not to jump into the steaming piles of stuff that fill most of these threads.  Just … can’t … stop … typing.Does an 80 pt ‘NOT’ carry more insult or sarcasm than a 16 pt ‘NOT?’  Is the air of superiority a linear relation to the font size?

air of superiority, 

in a game about AIR Combat, LAND Combat, this is as lame as you can get, Do I care that they do it NOPE they can play anyway they want, and I most certainly can tell them they are LAME for how they play.

like you who can defend the LAME game play

People just make me laugh. So i shoot this guy down and I'm pullin out too many g's for a split sec and cant see. Only i collided and took damage.
(Image removed from quote.)

I tried to explain to him that i was the only one who took damage, but apparently im the one without a clue. Gave me a good half hour laugh.

And you are still clueless Nisky, you rammed me from behind and I went down so how do you figure you are the only one that took damage?
Please do explain that for me it even say on your screen shot that you collided, on my end it says "Nisky has collided with you"
Now Please tell me again how it is that you collide with me by your own admission and you are the only one to take damage??

Please I am waiting to read your clear concise explanation this. BTW you didn't shot me down you collided with me from my 6 that is why I went down .

Holy bait batman

Bringin' the thread back on topic...

Proving it's a whiner complaining about a whiner...

Me not caring anymore (not that I did in the first place, hence my first reply was to a reply and not the OP)...

If you the message didn't say that you collided with Nisky and only received the message that Nisky collided with you, that means the collision was only detected on his FE, otherwise you would have also received the message that you collided with Nisky.  The most likely reason why you took damage is as he says, he shot you just moments before he collided with you, which is why you received damage.


ack-ack

  Hmmmm......... Well ok, what ever you  say ak ak, unlike some I have a lot of respect for your opinion, but sure is funny I was not in pieces or go down till he run into my 6. I don't really care, just seems strange he thought it was important enough to post with screen shot on a bulletin board. Almost like he needed confirmation he was right. I don't claim to be good or need excuses for the way I play, geez take a look at my score, I play just for fun.  If I want to get serious about flying I jump into my real airplane and go do aerobatics in the real sky :-)
