you asked....so ya stencil goes on "in ready" and no it wont stay ready while the tat is done...at least mine certainly didn't, if you can imagine jumping into the ocean in the dead of winter...well when I started to tattoo it it was like "whoa what the hell are you doing" and went inverted like a turtle into its shell.....

 

and ouch!

[Guppy35]

oh really. so going out shooting down 5 to 8 people isnt going out just to get kills. that its the thrill your after? please i hear that all the time then they whine when they get shot down. hell i heard DMGOD lit his joystick on fire when the vTARDs shot him down. i dont know if its true but seriously i take that as hes enjoying the thrill of the fight. where as its always the same in furballs you go out start fights not bothering to try and win the map thats pointless to me, when you try to win it always has a diferent outcome every single time.

But what do you win?!?

So let me get this straight in a game that is described by it's creators in the 1st paragraph of their web site as : Aces High takes the art and science of vintage WW1 and WW2 air combat and sets it in a high intensity online multiplayer environment.  Hundreds of players simultaneously battle it out against each other in massive aerial dogfights and bomber raids.  
 and ur telling me air combat (furballin) offers nothing hmmm ok

DMGOD, with all due respect, quoting only the first paragraph takes the meaning of HTC statement out of context.

The second paragraph states;

"High fidelity flight simulation is the heart of Aces High but it doesn't end there.  A war rages on the ground and at sea.  Engage enemy armor in tank combat.  Protect your fleet as a gunner or make a torpedo run in a PT boat.  Lead an assault in an amphibious vehicle.  With over 100 warbirds, vehicles, and boats available, you have access to a vast virtual arsenal."

Which clearly states that HTC intends that this game is to be more than just head to head dog-fighting.

I'm not taking a side one way or the other, I just enjoy these threads for their entertainment value alone.  I believe HTC has made in clear in their statement, that this game is more than just head banging dogfights.

And you can see how that's true when HT says he considers submarines, or first person shooter combat for map room capture.

But that's all a totally different thing from arguing that there should be nothing but pure furballing, or pure toolshedding.  The latter sounds like some of these "pro-horde" groups' agenda: removing actual combat from the equation.  Like the perfect gameplay in this multiplayer game that is AH, would be to never encounter any resistance, any risk, any contestation, never actually having to come in contact with opposing players.  Just shut down the fight by zigzagging thru the furball to destroy hangars and radar and fuel, etc.

You're funny.  Nice troll!

You are trolling... right?

First off JUGgler  .
Sorry see your post degrade into this.

Now to try and explain the mentality of those who fight to win the war and not just a dogfight. In my opinion only.

1 hit them where they ain't.

2. when I was in the army we hit the enemy w at least a 3 attackers to 1 defender ratio. the defender actually has the advantage. Also Hit w     
   OVERWHELMING firepower.

3 We are often assigned various missions: Knock out ords, Radar, fuel, a VH or control airspace. This last one may require shooting down every AC or just suppressing them. Whatever the mission requires. Once we have accomplished these missions we are can RTB.

4.When we attack behind enemy lines the extra numbers are needed due to fact that to get back to the fight after being shot down we usually have farther to fly than a defender from another field and we are usually heavy with ords. An enemy AC (typhie, Dora, 262...) flying the same distance to defend the same base is lighter and will get there sooner and with alt advantage.

5. These same high alt defenders will then procede to BnZ the attackers who are now low and slow from having dropped ords and strafing town and fields. the attacker ,even with numbers, is now at the disadvantage again. the large # the group of attackers has brought is now the only advantage that they have remaining.

Now for my own editorial.

These E and alt advantaged defending pilots who come into an attacking force will then proceed to blast through the "horde" with impunity. They will make several passes with 20mm and 30mm canons against the low and slow enemy attackers.

I have no problem with this tactic. They are exploiting an obvious advantage to defend the base. I would do it also. However some of these pilots will then proceed to tell everyone on chnl. 200 and this forum how wonderful they are for shooting down xx number of aircraft when they we holding all of the aces. 

Some people say that the =v= s  brag about being part of great squad. they are a fantastic group of people to fly with. Wing up with us and make your own decision about that.

But I would rather talk about the people and accomplishments of the group, than to brag about myself.


See you in the skies

The thrill is the fight but since you don't or know how to fight, you've never enjoyed the thrill of aerial combat and sadly probably will never will.
