Timid

[Guppy35]

Your 4 .50's never run out of ammo, that's why you don't have ot leave the fight. lol 

I fly til I die or run out of ammo.  I rarely run out of gas.

You've seen me shoot.  I can run out of ammo in a 38, although I usually die before it happens

For me the timid guys are the ones who leave the fight to land their kills when there is still a fight to be had.  It isn't about broken birds, or out of ammo or fuel.  It's about being so concerned that folks will see your kills landed and give you a big attaboy, that you fly to avoid a fight you can't win for sure.

Bottom line is, whatever is fun for you is the way to fly. 

Bottom line i agree with and never doubted it... but are they really timid or just skilled enough to be able to know when to withdraw from a fight in order to survive? and also if the person lands with multiple kills wouldn't this mean he is actually a good pilot? for me timid would include if this said flyer left a fight while a teammate was being shot at or in need of assistance... THIS would be the timid aspect... If i ever land kills i make sure there's another flyer or two right next to me from the same fight landing at the same time. If i fail in saving them... well at least i tried and then i leave hopefully with enough room to extract myself from the ensuing danger around me from when i responded to a help call...

What is this "TIMID" yall talk about. I think I remember someone mentioning that in the past.   

[Rino]

     Timid is letting someone's opinion dictate when you enter or leave a fight.

Sounds more like a cop-out.

Do you let others dictate how you fly?

Do you let others dictate how you fly?

I do. Alot of times whos in a furball will dictate where I fly also. That's one of my biggest pet peeves about being in a squad.

[Dadsguns]

Do you let others dictate how you fly?

Of course, for example.  If someone runs, I give chase.  If they stay and fight, I keel them or die trying.  If they gang me I egress.  
Most of the time their actions dictate my reaction and how I will respond, so yes you can say that others will dictate how I fly.

I think that's the reason we all like to fly online against real folks instead of some AI thing. You never know what to expect. It keeps things fresh and new.

[IrishOne]

others may dictate how you die, but your flying is all your own.  you can't put that on the other players.   no matter what they do, you still have choices

That's sig material right there. Damn Irish, didn't think you had it in ya.

Your correct.  But there is other choices than the default "avoid".  
Simply not engaging without overwhelming certainty of success in a kill and only while attaining all advantages isn't necessarily timid, but when and until they actually avoid someone that gains an equal advantage to give them a fight and avoids or flees, That's Timid.

i'd have to agree
