Does LD's flying style make the game boring for the rest of us.

Yarbles are you the pot or the kettle?

To be fair, Yarbles has a hard time staying airborne, let alone being an effective wingman to cherry pick with.

[Masherbrum]

I comprehend it fine.

I also realise 10 guys turning up from "The Few" (Many  ) can kill a furball and turn it into a vulch. What makes the game interesting is the shifting dynamic.

Well, if theres a 25 v 25 furball (whats not a small one), and 10 of ya guys show up, sure you can kill everyone  
Same with the LD.
But i hear you Yarbles, todays "if i dont have all the cards, then RUN!" behaviour is tiring and boring. And generally not good.

Well I don't get much chance to wing with you when you spend all your time on here

SDL will be interesting as "The Few" have a surfeit of very skillfull sticks (I am not including myself in that) but LD perhaps might counter that with disciplined team play.  

like i said after the last years SDL match againts the few, "the few have a few better sticks than LD, but they didn't stick together! But we did" We are focused on teamplay, thats why you see allways a bunch of LDs together.

And we take not La7s or spit16, we took our time also in slower climbers and play for the happy ending

Yarbles, I seem to remember a while back that you and I had five or six 1v1s in the MA.  You were in the Spit8 or 9 and me in the P-40E.  Every time I had to come to your base and you were always thousands of feet over my head.  You would do BnZ until you finally got some hits on my flaps and then you would actually engage in a turn fight.  I died every time the same way and every time you did the same fraidy cat fight.  So to answer your question, yes it is boring.

It's very rare to find players who admire solid teamwork and tactics these days.

Yes I think thats because I worked out you were a better stick than me   So I thought this is how I can kill this guy.

What do you think I should have done differently?

I think most of us want to improve in as well as enjoy the game. Cautious play at the individual level seems to hold back the develoment of skills sometimes as well as being a bit boring for the opponent.

So you're concerned that your flying style might be boring for LD? If they're complaining they can probably just find somebody else to fight.

If you wanted the best chance to win, nothing.  If you wanted to challenge yourself, try meeting me at 5k like I kept coming in at.  After the first two victories, maybe you could have tried to meet me on even terms.  You had the plane advantage for a TnB fight.

But the reason I posted was merely to point out the hypocrisy of this thread.  Play the game your way but don't complain that others are doing the exact same things you do.

You never will see an LD pilot complaing about other playstyle! If so he isn't anymore an LD pilot! Thats written down at our ruleset and all members agreed thoose

Thats funny I was thinking about the same thing.  I was in a SBD and him in a Spit several K above me.  BnZ and the entire time.  Missing quite a few times as well.  The I got my oil hit and was going to RTB then he comes zooming in for the kill.  

So in my opinion, threads like these are pointless, and never really end well.

I wish more squadrons would impliment that rule, my own included. It's simply bad taste. I find people who think they're above others because of the plane they choose to fly is bad taste also.

And we take not La7s or spit16
