I'm done

For those that get frustrated by ganging, lame gameplay and what-not and want to quit...shake things up a bit.

* Pick a new plane to fly.
* Pick a different arena - yes, they are less populated, but if you're complaining about getting ganged...
* Try your hand with the film viewer and making movies.
* Try your hand at making terrains - you can start with a small one and upload it into a custom arena.
* Host a custom arena and let people know when it'll be active - see how much fun you can have with 16 people that actually want to fight.

You can check out anytime you like, but you may never leave...

Jo I hope you will re consider as I will miss shooting you down again and again in the ma and pwning you in the da  

Seriously though you are probably at a level where people pick on you now more than ever. The choice I susspect is as Batfink says to evolve or be food for our skill less gang bangers. Its worth remembering Bruv does not complain about HO ers gangers etc he nips in grabs his multiple kills and home again despite what some lesser sticks say. I fly with him so I know this to be true.

Rise to the challenge and don't quit sir  

Even senile smelly old man Yarbles is trying to take on the ho ing ganging horde from time to time and triumph. If I can do it no doubt a young chappy like yourself should be able to get stuck in. Duelling is one thing but succesfully harvesting the MA rabble perhaps quite another. When I see you regularly landing 10 or more kills without vulching you have my permission to leave. In the meantime pull yourself together man

Just leave JockyM

<S> Gunna miss ya JOACH1M.

No matter how good a stick you are, you can always be overwhelmed beat down and killed.  I get alot of fun out of fighting 1 on 1, then I get some more fun as my SA let's me see the situation change and then I get to decide whether to stay and fight to the death OR try to egress, if only to live as long as I can.  If I find myself in an overwhelming situation where the only option is a fight to the death from a disadvantage, then I try and figure out what I did wrong.  Doesn't mean it wasn't fun, but it probably wasn't smart.

Be kind to yourself, start by looking at how you interact with the game not how the game interacts with you, because, it doesn't.

Jo, let me give you a little advise. Take it or leave it.

Your frustration comes from your own over inflated sense of ability. You think to yourself that you are so much better than those who gang you and it annoys you that they slay you with inferior tactics and skills. The essence of your mistake here is in thinking you are good even when you let yourself get into that situation. A good fighter pilot doesn't get in that situation. You are at the transitional stage between learning enough basic skills to feel 'better' than the average brawler but not having learnt enough savvy to know when and where to go brawling. You can either quit, or you can evolve and progress to a far more powerful position, that of a skilled brawler who knows when, where and how to pick his fights. It is not the dog-piler's fault that you are in his gunsite. I hope you may reconsider.

S!

This is exactly the problem with him and no matter how much I try to explain it he doesnt get it.

This is about 80% of it. Not being sarcastic either

 

I'm really impressed at the level of self-awareness and honesty in this statement.  The first thought I have when people complain about being ganged is, 'Why did you dive into a crowd, or get into a position where a crowd could get at you?'  I know sometimes it's unavoidable, but that's what makes the MA fun IMO.

I hope a bit of time off will let you come back refreshed.  If not, and this is goodbye for good, good luck in all you do. 

Wiley.

Your an MA beast he should wing up with you and be shown the path to enlightenment 

[doc1kelley]

Sooner then I would have liked to leave. Leaving because gameplay has gone way down IMO and I'm just plane tired of it.  I may or may not be back...really all depends on what life has in store for me.

And you've been playing this game how long now?  Lots of us "oldtimers", have seen the gameplay degrade throughout the years since AW up to and including FA, WB, and AHI and AHII.  We just roll with it and accept that it is the way of things.  Gameplay is based upon individuals and you have to play the game to please you and nobody else!  The main thing about this game is that it's up to YOU to create your own enjoyment and not others.

All the Best...

I always told him not to get stuck with that DA mindset.

[doc1kelley]

It's all fun untill, more and more keep piling in and untill they start to HO, when clearly Im already and a # disadvantage...  Bar.

NO!  Don't give the frigging almighty "HO" excuse!  Ho's have been around since the early days of WWII and will continue and until you can accept the fact that it might happen, GET OVER IT or GET OUT!  I'm so frigging sick and tired about hearing about HO's in the game that I just might go out and buy me a HO and see what the fuss is all about.

All the Best...

* Pick a different arena -

Try a different arena.. Good call.. .... Two country's.. axis vs allied planes.Not all late war air craft all the time.. Closer base to base, flight to a fight and less ganging 12 clearing and shoulder shooting. There comes a point were those other arenas start to look pretty cool if your getting frustrated with the status quo....to each there own but heck.... DONT QUIT!  

[LCADolby]

Go away and make a movie Jo!
It works for me 
Nothing is a better feeling than finding that 1 epic battle and making it look cinematic.

I can't deny it's very rare to get ganged or HO'd in the AvA...because....

Whatever happen to having fun? If you get so frustrated over a video game then its time to take a break. Anytime I see there isn't a fight
going on or a flat out horde, I simply log off and play War in the Pacific Admirals Edition.

/If anyone thinks Aces High is frustrating, I suggest never playing WITP:AE

I don't know.  The moment I get frustrated is approximately a few moments before I log.  But a lot of people let their emotions go and become frustrated or angry.
