Exactly how was it helpful to the community?


Actually the OP reignited the old flame. It is the same tired old crap only posed as a question or poll instead of the usual whine or insult. These forums are full of them and they're usually started by the same cast of characters. For whatever reason they have to scream lookatme every few days and spout what mighty internet warriors they are. Once the thread is posted their buddies show up to stroke their egos and reaffirm their make believe warrior status. There will another thread of this nature along in a couple of days, if it takes that long.

Go Seahawks.

Sorry Shifty, but that wasn't the intent or the point.

LOL ok thank u for that one. got me laughing. So your saying in the history of aces high no one has ever upped from a field, been attacked or come across lets say 2-3 bandits, killed them all.. and then decided.. "ok now that no one is around anymore to fight, or now that I'm out of bullets, I will go land."
So you think every time someone lands kills its because at some point they ran away from red guys?

that contradicts the statement some have done that "I stay no matter what".

You don't like the Seahawks???  

If you say so Bear I believe you. It's difficult to see it differently when you see so many
threads with a similar subject.

My bad, you said you "got it" and assumed you were the beneficiary.

It is pointless posting about it with this community.

E....New guys come in the game and learn bad habits from "vets"

Either they join a horde squad where it's all about dropping a base completely or  they see a person land a lot of kills, see the way to pick apart a fur ball and they do that until someone calls them out to DA and they learn they dong know anything.

 Happens every where...in my job if my brand new pvt sees me holding my hands in my pocket, he's going to be like look that vet has his hands in his pockets I must be allowed to put mine in my pocket.

You make a good point and I agree. Not sure maybe it's because some older players just give up and do what every one else does. It's easy to get into bad habits and we all do it at some point. Some of these posts are a "look at me" thing and I think others are sincerely hoping it will help keep older players and encourage new members. Like Shifty said, there are so many posts on this topic and lets face it, you can't always judge intent from simple text.

And you're posting this as if it's an epiphany new and unique to you (or you and your ilk)?

Do you know what actually impresses me (and most others)? It's less whining and more doing.
Fly and set the example. Whine on the forum less. 

Why would I think I'm the only one who's motivated to play the game the way I do?  I don't have to look past this thread to see that's not the case... lol.

I do actually fly the way I suggest, and if someone asks me why I fly that way, I can tell them.  You on the other hand, don't fly that way and can't even give a straight answer as to why you prefer to not fight in a WWII online combat game.

That wasn't the question nor was it one of the answers

But it is an answer. It is THE answer to be honest....it's just not the one you want to hear.

Do some BnZ and then run at the first sign of opposition or a credible challenge to their ACM skills.  Absolutely.  Do some of these individuals have really high K/Ds? Yup...Although I would argue many do not...a new player BnZing is unlikely to have any more success trying to get killing snapshots off in a 450mph dive then they would in a furball. But that isn't the point.

My issue with this "poll" is that your original question, the answer / options you present, and some of the responses thus far appear to imply that there is only one acceptable way to fight in this game:

- dive in regardless of the odds
- care nothing about the cartoon death
- score is for sissies
- thinking the situation through before engaging is for wimps.  

It further implies that anyone who does not follow these maxims is likely lacking intestinal fortitude and may well be responsible not only for the current "deplorable" state of the game but the fall of Western Civilization itself.

Ok.  I admit I may have extrapolated Inks comments a bit too far with that last bit.   Sorry bud.  

I admit I get irritated when I see someone dive away, or fly a buff in high orbit.  I will even admit I take a perverse pleasure in hunting these individuals down, ending their cartoon incarnation and receiving the obligatory "F U, u fraking fraker" PM!  But it's their 15 dollars....if that's the way they want to play more power to 'em.
