Base capture

[Ack-Ack]

then what does 1v1 serve to you? from what i can see its it just showing somebody you can dogfight. thats all the thrill isnt there for me, as i said before back when i played a2a games like F-16 MRF and F-18 Hornet i use to love going out and shooting someone down. then it hit me as to what am i doing for my team. its not getting anything done towards winning sure you win the dogfight but theres just another one and another one. i dont try to win for that sake of changing the map. i try to win because I'm doing something that benefits my team. you can say theres nothing that comes out of winning but if your playing and winning as a team that's what its about. working and winning as a team.

Your first failure is to assume that every fight is a 1v1 affair.  Fights between multiple groups of fighters can be quite exciting, that is if you have the guts to actually take part in one and not run away.

As Leviathn pointed out, being well skilled in a fighter is a force multiplier.


ack-ack

Im tired of seeing the drivel from this guy/kid  what ever he is......obviously he has absolutely no clue...illusion of grandeur..at its finest

Yeah ... lock on with radar ... shoot a missile. That is not dog fighting in the same realm as WWII dog fighting ... it's not quite that simple.

and yet 95% of the kills i got in those games was with the 20mm vulcan at close range dogfighting. hmm thats just locking on and shooting a missle. there was only one time i can remember ever using my missles to kill someone and that was pretty much when dogfighting got boring to me. that last 5% was when i stopped playing the dogfighting game. and going to BVR(Beyond Visual Range) i just dont see the point of dogfighting anymore why dont you get that. its pointless to ask me to duel its points te ask me to relearn what i already know about dogfighting because its pointless to me. theres no thrill theres no excitment for me im not saying its not exciting for you. you can furball all you want. but its lost its excitment to me. Wild949 is name given to me from those days wild refers to the fact i was unpredictable and random in a fight 949 is the number of kills i got over the 3 years i played those games. i got all the excitment of dogfighting out of my system and i would much rather fight as a team. and saying that using numbers is skilless is kinda dumb. IMHO. numbers are a key part of strategy.

This is easily settled with a duel.

This is easily settled with a duel. 

and what would that serve? its pointless to me to dogfight let alone duel someone. its no longer exciting to me so. what kicks would i get out of it?

This is a game based around world war 2 ( and 1) aerial combat. Chances are, you found out about this game watching the commercial and having a slight interest in WW2 history. Though a dying trend as WW2 history becomes less popular with the youngins now a days, there is still a huge chunk of playerbase that is as fasinated with the aerial combat of the time. Think of how intense it was during the time to respect skilled flyers of the day that some were buried with full military honors even by the enemy.

Basetaking is just a means they put together so guys will ( key word here---->) fight it out. Without the fight, you have nothing.
The war is nothing but incentive to keep you fighting. Both basetaking and the war are just gamey features put in there to (again key word--->) fight it out.

As you mature in the game, you are going to meet several guys in the community in game and here in forums with a wealth of knowlege when it comes to anything and everything with the era. You will also get to appreciate some members in the community that put very hard work in maps, skins, modeling and even training. If winning the war  were to be the game here, why would so much attention be focused to all the other stuff? Why not just have the mission planners say planes with big bombs instead of going through all that trouble.

hey i don't need too. i already know the outcome of the fight. you will try to lure me into a turn fight and ill go vertical, and dive on you and in one pass, you'll be in the ground. i don't need to prove anything to a wannabe loser like you who say delicious, to how many kills he gets. yeah that's real grown up up you. a kid like you need to only know 2 things. 1 to keep his mouth shut, and 2. to only open his mouth when hes sure that he's correct. take those to heart, and listen to that 5lb organ in your head called a brain. that's if you have one that is.

lol u recall writing this?


oh and p.s. the average human brain weighs 3 pounds... just sayin

I can only guess what kicks you'd get in a duel but it would show that you're able to dogfight and have that as an option instead of people thinking that you hate furballs because you can't dogfight and that you can't back up your claims of being able to dogfight.

Personally I don't care. I think everybody should do what they enjoy. But if you make claims you should be able to back them up. I'm not saying you should quit if you lose, just show people that you aren't just making stuff up.

yeah maybe 2 years ago i would said hell yeah to a duel request but as i said its not exciting, and i dont need to back those up when i already know i have the skills to do it. its just pointless to me to dogfight. and i probrably wont dogfight in this game just for the sake of the dogfight.

Well then we'll just take your word that you have the skills and appreciate your modesty in not showing off.

so you don't dogfight? well then y did you up 134 fighter sorties last tour (ouch only 18 kills yet 60 deaths)

oh man

now we know why "dog fighting" to you is "pointless"  

you go vin zee var its perfect for you....just don't think you "know" what this game is about, you clearly have no clue.  if you did you would  just be happy playing in your little war....and wouldn't give to craps what any body else is doing.

so how old are you anyway?     me im 42...if you tell me like 12 or something along those lines, well then I will never give you a hard time again and just chalk up your ignorance to age.
