I don't really understand why folks feel the need to go off on others, either on 200 or in private.  It was always my fault when I died, either because I allowed my SA to break down, or I stayed in too long and was overwhelmed, or I just wasn't good enough to beat that guy 1v1.  Learn from it, appreciate the opportunity, and move on.  It's a lot less stressful than blaming others for not flying exactly the way I think they should.

Since I'm not really dying, I figure I'll die with as little dignity as possible, and hopefully laughing, as I plow into the dirt :)

I'm not dissagreeing.  :salute    My point was not to defend every complaint. It was to refute that no complaint is valid.  Understanding game dynamics means the most fun may be had by not seeking ways to win without completely frustrate your opponent.  :aok

Some peoples' threshold for frustration is just ridiculously low though.  Completely unrealistic for the situation.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I like the ones who are over your base at 10k or so.... they dive on you as you take off. After a bit when they die you start towards their base. They take off coming at you. You have the alt now as you have been flying while they reup. You kill them as they wonder in and out of their ack and they call you an alt monkey.    :rofl


Ah yes, the joys of AH. one better is those same folks diving on you as you take off calling you an ack hugger, haha <-- that one gets me everytime!

 :D


I guess technically speaking, I'm hugging ack till my wheels are up  :huh  it gets very confusing!!

I wouldn't dissagree with that either.  :salute

I know how you feel. I tried hugging ack once to see what the fuss was about by my arms kept getting blown off.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

Dirt is not my problem... it's those darn trees. If tanks ever get the ability to knock down trees I want the same for planes. :D
