I'm not talking about anyone's plane choices or flying style (where did I say anything about that ?) - each to their own, Bnz, E-fight , turnfight , whatever grabs you. Idgaf. My only advice/plea to new players would be to learn some ACM and how to apply it, and that if you show some respect to other players and the "game" they are playing , you might get some back.
i tend to agree however ...
i am sorry but i know wrecked and i would be surprised if any lack of respect you may have gleamed from him is not something he is returning and unlike me it is probably far less than equal measure ...
i do not intend to offend and i believe we have met in the arenas and i have found you to be a good and pleasant opponent, so these comments are probably not best included in an exchange with you so please do not take any of this personally ...
we come here as event focused players used to teamwork in an event focused squad and that type of play in the MAs here tends to generate a fair amount of hostility. for example when a teammate appears to be in trouble we are prone to help, to our amazement we were criticized and ridiculed for that. it generates ill will and since for us events are still our focus i do not see much change in our play style coming soon. now we won't be hostile to people, we don't hold grudges overlong, and bridges can always be rebuilt, for example i did some fighting with BnZ and a bunch of other players in the Bulge event to all our benefits. now BnZ and i have disagreed frequently on these boards yet in the event to our credit we worked together without reservation and i think that helped our relationship everywhere else.
our guys are starting to get used to asking if someone is in need of help when they are not pretty sure about it, however we will tend to fly together and that will not likely change. that is because that is how we approach the games, we do not insist that everyone flies like that, and we don't usually respond to every criticism, but i can't expect my squad to be either completely silent in the face of the hostility they attract for working in a focused manner geared towards team and squad event success, or expect them to be terribly impressed with those who do not use teamwork as part of their fighting style and then harass those who do when they loose.
so when a team mate is in trouble we will help as my guys are trained that keeping you buddy alive is much more important than any perceived etiquette that a minority is trying to force on the rest of us, and that includes HOs if that is available.
i am sorry if that does not play into the lone wolf attitudes of some, but i did notice a well populated dueling arena available to those who wish to explore personal air combat.
