There is most certainly a division: those who accept getting (virtually) killed in a wartime shooting game, and those that whine about it and try to have the game modified.




So stop whining about the wirblewinds and just accept your deaths when you try to tard around.

I find it funny and ironic that you tell someone to basically suck it up if a GV shoots their plane down but yet you cry like a drunken fat chick at a party when your GV gets bombed.

I promise to never drop another bomb on another GV provided this is added to the game.

I think you missed sarcasm in my post.  Shida is obviously speaking about GVers when it applies equally well to everyone whining about wirbs.

What's tarding around?

I don't think I was whining just commenting. Shortening the icon range on flaks means you can't see them until you are well within firing range. Since the principal purpose of a flak is to shoot aircraft was this really a fair change?

As I commented here or hereabouts I think the GV faction has been pandered too pretty well.

We demand more fighter aircraft and no more bloody tanks until we get some!  :mad:

I'll just say things are more even now than they were before. If the balance went slightly in the other direction.... well, it took HTC a while to fix the other problem as well.

Don't forget nrshida, patience is a virtue  :aok.

I just about never have this problem with flaks.  If you do experience it, I suggest that you must either be (1) strafing a base, or (2) interfering with a GV battle.  

By all means, add more fighter AC.

Rather lacking in imagination. It was actually (3) trying to kill an aircraft who was feigning ACM but actually just trying to drag me to flak. My theory was he couldn't find his deploy balls lever. Flaks didn't get me though, I'm far too smart  :P

Young man, I have boots older than you are. The day I need a lecture on patience or virtues from a whippersnapper will be the day I need my head replaced by a tomato.

I see...  So it happened once, and you decided to start this thread?

(I mean, it's not like people running to acks or to friends is unusual in these games.  In fact, the latter is 10 times more common in my experience.  They dive and run towards their friends.  If you dive down after them, you're on the deck and find a couple of high icons ahead ... Just like the Wirbles, you don't see them until it is too late.)

More likely he started this thread as a result of the latest trend in GV wishes - an arena where the airplane was never invented.

I know full well why he started it; my question was of course rhetorical.
