Side switchers
« on: July 31, 2013, 11:14:45 PM »
I don't understand the negative stigmatism that side switchers have

The other night I got shot down by a player (agent360) who out flew me. I then switched sides to fly a cheap 262.
Upon conversing with mr. Agent about our fight on how I can do better I recieves some angry pms saying why don't I pick a side?




Btw this 12 hour rule has allowed me to meet and hang out with some awesome peeps
Big thank to the Claim Jumpers :salute

One thing that I miss is the one hour side switch time limit. I never understood the chess piece loyalty and always wanted to be where the fight was. That usually meant flying the low number side. Now if I fly in the mains I have to hope that either the side I come in on or the side I first switch to stays the low number side or I'm sol.

Last week me and some peeps switched sides for cheap 262's and tempest.
Upon flying around for a good 30 minutes and several kills later the fight died for 4 hours :furious

Shot down a plane last night.  Immediately get a PM, "YOURE A SIDE SWITCHER NOW!!??!"  Was I on your side before?  Yes.  Alright.  Glad we got that settled.   :)

Am I the only one who never got botched at for side switching?  :noid Seems like people make a big deal out of it when they don't have to...

Listen, there could be a "once-in-a-life" side switch limit, you would be accoused of being illoyal or just simply a spy anyways.

Schange sides as you want (or as this stupid 12 hours rule allows you), then squelch them, shoot them down, salute them. Problem solved.

Its usually the inept losers that get annoyed at side switching. They can't figure out how to fly well, how to capture a base, how to bomb a cv, *insert game skill*, and figure you must have been spying, or etc. to be able to do it.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
