Rant
« on: December 06, 2010, 10:27:17 PM »
Who else is really tired of people, if not allied pilots not covering your 6. We were all in the same altitude. 5 other planes were coming at us three and the other two decided to be obsessed with a p47 kill on the deck. I was left alone and hacked... Not cool. Worst is they said I did it out of stupidity. Covering your butt, while you try scoring a kill on the deck, I don't think so; that's called selflessness, and I'm damn tired of pilots not having that in their minds, accounting that lots of you were in the military. Man I am pissed! :furious


This always happen, at first were together. 500 cons attack us, they dive to go for 1 deck one and leave me alone to be ganged on, so I can distract the enemy while they do those kills. That's some BS!

Little advice for free.

When you die, no matter how, it is always your fault. You cannot count on non squad mates in the MA. Its nice when they help but do not count on it.

1st rule around here is watch your own arse. Having a check 6 is great but when you depend or expect them you're going to end up in the tower selecting another plane. If your SA is where it should be a check 6 isn't necessary. Find a good wingman until you get your SA down would be my suggestion to you.  :old:

I have always felt that the check-6 feature kind of took some of the human interaction out of the fight.....used to be sneaking up on peeps was a fair deal.  You snooze, you lose...now anyone within range simply hits a key and your covered.

Its NOT A BAD THING....just very very easy to do.  Too easy methinks.

Someone should hold an SA clinic or make a writeup if there is not one already.

To me its the easiest thing to improve and it makes such a dramatic difference.

The first thing you learn in BT is you can only count on yourself. Once you trust yourself, you caN THAN BEGIN TO TRUST THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.

The game is the same.  FY to the mofo I kid.

Your countrymen had two choices:

a) They could stay at the same altitude as you, and fight against a numerically superior enemy.

b) They could dive to the deck and gang up on a P47.



While choice A would probably be more fun, are you really surprised that two people playing aces high in the main arena decided on choice B?
