Pick discussion

[Ack-Ack]

Possition even more than SA, IMO. If you're dumb enough to get low in a 190D, then its your own damn fault if every enemy within icon range come diving in from 5k to kill you.

What you described is part of SA.

I say lets put a light on a pole directly behind the cockpit.  The pole should be at least three feet high so it can be easily seen.  

Have a switch mapped to a throttle, stick, or mouse that controls a red or green light.  This switch must be mapped to something other than a keyboard, so it can be readily available and there could be no excuse for not being able to activate it.  

Green means that you can help me, red means to stay out.

Jeeeeeeeeeez

i sometimes feel like there is such a device on the rooftop of my shop. it seems to automatically activate right about when i get my lunch ready. then the loons come in.

[CAP1]

To me, if I am engaged with 3 or more, and you not being one of the planes I am not engaged with decide to buzz thru blazing and get the kill, then I would consider that a pick of sorts as you completely robbed those earnestly engaged in my demise of any closure. Surely the odds were against my survival and your killing me only hastened it but those who had entered the fight probably deserved the kill more.

when i see more than 2 chasing/fighting a red guy, i don't even bother.

[RoGenT]

If someone asks for help getting someone off their six, no problem. It is just the people who picked the people on my 12 that bothers me 

[Nemisis]

Agreed. Very annoying when someone clears your 12 o'clock. Or when you both have an equal chance at the kill, but he just sprays and caused your target to jink endlessly.

picking is a fun and evil sport to club the seals of the MAs but i try to avoid it unless flying with a squaddie clearing each other's sixes etc. But in the MA, expect death or chances or dieing from every angle at every altitude...

I have one of those loon beacons too.
Customer: I need the strongest 5/16 UNF bolts you have 2 1/2" long
Me: Oh! What are you using them for?
Customer: To bolt the propellor on my flying machine.
Me: Oh!

If the friendly asks for assistance go in. If a friendly asks for you to stay out... stay out. If a friendly puts his arm around you and asks what your doing this evening.... run.

ummmmmmmm Shuffler............WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WITH THIS GRAND ADVICE BEFORE I JOINED THE MUPPETS?!?!?!?!

[Knite]

I generally try to follow these rules :

#1. If it's 1v1 away from a fight, I might hover around the area to watch, and likely vox the friendly pilot asking if they need help. If no answer, or a "no", I won't. If "yes" then I dive on in.

#2. If it's a 1v1 away from a fight, but a squaddie, I'm comin in.

#3. If there are 3 enemies or more, ESPECIALLY if there's only 1 or 2 friendlies chances are I'm joinin the scrum, no notice, no warning.

theres a reason why other flyers cover your SIX when engaged i hate when they kill my prey...

[dedalos]

I think it is the way it is done that makes it lame.  For example, if you can see the con waiting until you engage and then they come in, it is lame.  If they are waiting 1000 feet off of the runway until you dodge someone else before the dive in, it is lame.  When it is the same guy repeatedly coming in second or third to get you, it is lame (there is no way he is that helpful lol).  When they come in head on not even thinking about avoiding a collision, it is lame.  Other than that, is is a fair game.  Even if the guy did not ask for help and you happened to be there you should take him out because there may be 3 bud guys coming and the 2 vs 1, can turn into a 2 vs 4 if you don't.

I also saw one of the funniest things ever on 200 the other day.  SHawk was calling someone a cherry picker
