You are absolutely right stang. Best go back to my old AW ways of thinking. Teach 'em they are going to die no matter their alt.

I've always maintained alt advantage is merely a tool, which can be used for or *against* one.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

this would be perfectly legit.....if your life really depended on how you flew in AH...using this as to why someone flies the way they do in game is  :rofl at best.

Is there any possibility that those that fly this way, do so because they enjoy flying this way?

Is there any possibility that those that fly this way are aware that they are playing a game and its not real life but they still enjoy flying this way?

i find that flying low b17s into the horde is best way to break them up or put them in single file for your teammates... and i can usually take out 2-3 too. its also makes the horde chew up its ammo and forces them home faster.

, but the simple fact remains this is a game and to use "tactics" that were designed to insure your success at staying alive, into a game that no one dies is.....well I find it funny.

In a game where the plane is the "avatar", getting shot down represents "dying" so there is a virtual death one suffers when one looses a fight.  While we don't die in real life, we do "die" in game when our plane or vehicle gets blown up and there is really nothing wrong with people trying to prevent that from happening, which is what everyone tries to do in game. 

When you come down to it, is there really a difference between someone when they fight tries to win and someone using tactics to ensure the same result?

cmon on now ack ack......I applaud anyone who uses Tactics to "win" if someone is BnZ me to death, I will never, NEVER say they are lame if they do not stop to "turn" fight me, its the guys that never "TRY",  that only attack at an advantage,and run as soon as their advantage is gone, only fly in a hourd, only Vulch....and all the other lame behavior that is so rampant in game   


no not "everyone" cares if there cartoon pilot dies...I am not happy unless im dying, I put myself in that position every sortie :aok   don't get me wrong I try to stay alive, but I would rather die a blazing cartoon death then run like a "female dog"      seriously its a Combat game you know this full well, when 90% of the mains try to avoid combat to save there cartoon pilot.....well its laughable  :rofl     and I enjoy laughing at the masses  :t

I agree, I find that timid flying to be very boring myself but they are trying to do what you said you try to do and that is to "try and stay alive" but they are just going at a very limp wristed way. 

I don't care if I get shot down either, it comes with the territory but I will tell you, I would much rather win the fight then get shot down.

LOL. So true.  If one stops and thinks about it, that very well may be the crossroads of Aces High.
