Ruining the only "good" fight

[The Fugitive]

I don't so much see people ruining a good fight as much as I see people avoiding a good fight.

The other day knits were attacking a port, I upped off a near-by CV to help defend, but the mini horde that NOE got in to quick and grabbed it. They spotted the CV (which was NOT the one attached to the port they just captured  ) while in route to the port so the next attack came at the CV. I was defending in a zeek and followed 4 planes one after the other that lawndarted to kill the CV. Once the CV was down I was jumped by at least 4 guys because now they were NOT heavy and they had sufficient numbers to handle my lone zero 

With that fight over it looked like the V base was next on the list, so I upped a 38 and flew in to help defend that one. Of course by now the rook caught on that the knights were trying to take some bases.... were slow, not dumb    so the defense was better so once the attack failed, the knights moved to take bish bases instead.

So with a fully loaded P38 still under me I moved west. A few rooks were hitting a knight port, I figured I could maybe intercept some bad guys coming from a base NW that might be helping in the defense. I spot an F4U, so I drop the 2K to get to his alt and the chase begins. I'm closing, but slowly and after a sector or so he finally breaks when I'm 800 off. It's a C hog so I'm a bit careful and do a hi yo, but all he did was to turn his break into a dive and start running for his base. I drop back in and closing, type out that I'm filming to egg him on  I'm low on fuel and really have no chance to RTB ( unless I chop throttle and limp back for 20 minutes at half throttle, but why bother with that  ) SO I follow him into the ack of a large field, and all this guy does is circle in the ack. Ack rips me to shreds and I ditch off field and the hog lands his NOW 3 kills.

So 2 hours spent watchin planes NOE a base to quick to defend, planes auger in to a cv, planes gang a lone zeek,  guys give up on a base capture due to 4 guys defending, and a C hog that runs for almost 2 sectors so he can land and get his name in lights. I could have gotten more entertainment watchin "Biggest Loser" on TV

Yep, it's sad that many forget this is a game about combat.

i had a fight with Oldman in the AVA on Tuesday that lasted 15minutes. no ho'ing, no ramming, just good solid ACM. id say that was a good fight! never thought to pull the trigger til i was on his 6.

oldman22?

he's always a good fight.

[BiPoLaR]

That wasn't that good of a fight. The best fights are like the one I had on Wed's with an F4u. He never saw my gondo-laden G14 spiral down to his six. After I cut him in half with cannon fire, the salute went out. His was a good fight. I felt great seeing him go down  - and what could be "gooder" than that? Okay, maybe chucking beer bottles at a moron is better than that, but what's better than that online - besides porn, of course?

But that hall-of-fame battle can hardly be compared to the really good fights you get when that last emplacement has been destroyed, the enemy field is deacked, and the vulch light is on. I admit to feeling genuine admiration for the brave pilots when they still up into the teeth of vulch after vulch. Damn, nat's good fightins! I salute you, Sir, is what I tell 'em after killing them as they struggle to get their engines lit. Sometimes, I'll send a personal message, too, just to lend the human touch. Usually, it's something like, "dear <>, I salute you, killing you made me feel real good about myself. Please try to up again. Thems good fightins."

Can we get some more newbies? Lately, the fights haven't had the old luster.

Your guys were just crybabies because they didn't get to vulch or ho you.

Incidentally, I recommend we have custom arenas where other players are forced to be immobile so that you can have "good fights" with 'em.

Dude seriously, stop.

Dude seriously, stop.

I do sarcasm. Sorry. The worst part is, sometimes people take me seriously.

Last night I was in LW Blue on the NDIsles map.  The Rooks had taken P55 in the NW from us.  Myself and a few others fought to take it back, then fought off a few fighters and PT boats to hold it as the Rooks tried to take our CV south to hide it.  In the meantime someone managed several hits on it from the shore battery lighting it up but not sinking it.

After the Rooks quit trying to take P55 again I upped a 109K-4.  I had to fly all the way to the Rook base to the south to find a dar bar and when I got there the guy landed so I flew out, ditched my K-4 and upped a set of Bostons to go look for the our CV.

Near the same time two other friendlies upped buffs too with the same thing in mind.  One of them found and sunk our flaming CV but reported that there was another in the area.  Myself and the other set of buffs criss-crossed the area looking for it.  I finally found it and dropped my bombs alerting the others to where it was and the third set of buffs took it down.

Just after my drop I was attacked and killed by <names removed to protect the dweebs> in a Ta-152 and a Bf-110G-2.  They immediately started criticizing me (and the Bish in general) for "killing the only good fight on the map".  The only good fight?  Those two and three sets of buffs trying to keep the Rooks from hiding our CV?  Like killing a CV no one was using really made a difference to them flying land based planes.  

It's funny what some people consider a "really good fight".

Funny.  This from the guy who upped Bostons to 24K.......when there were 70 people total in the arena....and there were about ten of them fighting on the deck between the two CVs.  Two bases on entire map were blinking.  

Until you came in at 24K, that is, and killed the CV two sectors away from land..  Then they all logged.

That's what I call ruining a good fight, sir.

By the way, way to prove the tardishness again, by even starting this thread.

I'd say being able to hit the cv from 24k in bostons deserves a salute

i've never been able to hit the darned things from over 10k.

besides.....if one wishes to complain about it being sunk, then perhaps one should've turned the cv, eh?

 it's not like there was no time to avoide falling bombs from 24k alt.

I climbed to exactly 18K to start because you can get that alt in Bostons within 1 sector.  Because I couldn't see through the cloud deck I had to drop to under 15K to find the CV.

Once more you over-exagerrate to try to prove something.  I guess it's the only way to justify your manlyhood because, as I stated in the OP, you obviously have no clue what a good fight is.

And BTW, if you were "on the deck having fun" WTH were you two doing in a Ta152 and a 110 at 15K over three sectors from the nearest land base?  Doesn't sound to me like you were flying between CV's on the deck.  And that brings up "and there were about ten of them fighting on the deck between the two CVs".  Both CV's were yours at the time and there was one Bish there who was trying to spot them for the buffs.  Well, I lied.  At one point there were two Bish and a single Rook F4F because I flew by before I ditched my K4.

You're a compulsive liar.  Go beat your chest red in someone elses ear.

And BTW, I wasn't the one to get the kill on the CV.  Too bad.  I wish I had.

Actually, 2 A8's (a 110 and a 152) upped buff killers after you bombed the first CV.  Inevitably, you came back, even higher. 

As for the CV, there was yours, because you had killed it when it was ours, a half hour before, and there was our second one.  There's no lie, sir. I was on the deck in an early model zero fighting.  There was a CV vs CV battle going on.  You ended it.  We said something. 

Now you're on the boards crying, and calling people "compulsive liars".  Maybe it's time for a little break from the game?

No one came back.  All three sets of buffs were up at the same time.  The first set took out what had been our CV.  I have no idea what type of buffs he was flying but I assume B-17's or B-24's.  After he called that it was down I, high in Bostons and another Bish, low in AR234's (a Muppet for what it's worth) criss-crossed the area looking for the second CV.  I was the first to find it.  The total elapsed time from the first CV going down to me dropping on the second and then someone else finishing it was maybe 10-15 minutes.

Again, there was no time to get a CV to CV battle going and you had to have been in the air much longer than you state.  There was absolutley no way you had been in an on the deck CV to CV fight and still had time to fly three sectors to 15K especially with one of you in a 110 and I know for a fact that, during the time between killing the first and second CV, the only Bish in the air were the three of us, all in buffs.

Why not just quit lying and admit that you have no clue what a good fight is?  There's people in the TA that can help you.

There was a cv  cv battle.  I was on the 8 inch guns shooting

  i love when people start one on one fights in the BBS. GO TO THE DA GUYS!!!!!!! beat each other up there

[redman555]

I was getting to irritated the other day.  I was in the dueling arena, I went 1v2 and got one of em, then I was in a 1v1 for like 10 min.  Next thing I know I see a friendly coming towards us, I asked him "Please stay out of it" FIVE TIMES.  Then he constantly tried to cherry pick him, I ended up shootin him down but got an assist...
