just gotta use the reverse psychology to fight the lame tactics.

1. for instance when someone begins to run, i break off and they will come back to me.
2. when there are cherry pickers diving, i roll inverted and they assume I'm about to dive for the deck and they immediately return to space station.
3. when attacking hordes u must resort to picking "they will all pick u if u give em a chance" so keep your speed up and dont become fixated on anyone.

basically if someone wants to be lame don't give em the satisfaction of playing into it. if they wanna run an stay high fine they can play in there little world. :salute

An inexperienced pilot in a Spitfire Mk16 vs. a more seasoned pilot in a Bf 109G-6 is usually a pretty fun fight from my experience. I like to think I come out on top at least half the time, even :D

Can't stand runners?  Get in a Jet.
Every time I up a jet there always seems to be that 20K pony that makes 1 pass on me, I turn toward him hoping he'll fly back up to 20K and try again (and soon make his way to 15K), but he blows ALL of his alt, runs home, and lands. AH is turning into a no-win situation lately...I've having more fun puddle jumping 163s 5 sectors to get 3 minutes of more intensive action, getting into turn fights with other planes in the 163...it's really a lot of fun. I have been flying with a few 82nd friends in EVE Online and I am having the time of my life, like I used to years back in AH.

Back to the 163...I wish I had more perks to 'blow' but I only have about 130 now (262s on the deck is fun). The 163 kind of brought a new hope to my dog fighting...it encourages people to get on your six since they know it's fast, but they also know it won't run 5 sectors like a 262 would. Now, I only have 10 kills in the 163 this tour on maybe 5 flights, pardon my horrible aim with the cannons :) , but I've duked it out at least twice, on the deck, low and slow.

Pay attention and you will see there is always one of them 2 or 3 plains back waiting for the faster ones to engage you

I can't help it, the Dora 9's and 51's get there faster than my little P-38G and P-39D can. :D

And I can't help it that my 38G or 39Q ends up in pieces once I do get there! :)

Bongo did the same thing to me  :furious :furious :furious   :rofl
Thats funny, bongo did the same to me today. But I agree, the gameplay is getting worse IMO. The average furball/fight alt seems to be increasing, ecleast for me. And im running into more gang spixteens then ever before.

My latest trick is using a Spitty 1 or Boston...either way they think you're an easy target, and get lax and stupid.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

What amazes me is that people are still playing a game that is allegedly reaching new lows every month since 1999...  :headscratch:

LOL...what are you thinking? I always fly the G-6 with 100% fuel.

So do I, but I intend to burn off at least 25% of it before I attempt hard maneuvers.

Ahh, but they could help staying out of it though.

Im relativly new here but have hear the same 'issues' in other sims and other times.

I fight to live, if that means running, I run.  if that means a deliberate HO to escape, I will HO.

Dont ask me to fight YOUR fight when its not in MY best interest ;)

A high ranking player had picked a handful of countrymen and was extending out with his wingman and with me on his 6, knowing he had 5 to 8 seconds left before a likely death, the wingman reversed (didnt fire) and deliberately rammed me.

So wish I had the film, would have posted it in a flash.

The 'vets' flying with their disposable weenie wingmen wind me up the most.

That is weird. I have no problem finding fights in my Spit Mk XVI  :D

I find people are less willing to fight when I'm in a 109.

There is your hint.

nor i in my p38 o doom.

what i DO have a problem doing, however, is providing a good fight to my opponent :aok
