Trainers, both officially in AH and in squads (in some cases one and the same)
encourage firing bursts and also only firing them when you know you're lined up.
The micro-burst thing is new but if it works for you I'm NOT one to discourage.
If you've noticed, I don't do the 'I'm way better than you are' dance in AH.  :cool: :cheers:

Did you read that while you were flying around for 6 hours not shooting anything?   :ahand

I disagree with you on that point arlo.  i have trigger set up to primary and "pinky" button set up to secondary.  I normally fire a short burst to make the other guy nervous even if I am not lined up, but I use one button.  tracers going around you have a tendency on some guys to force a mistake.

says the guy that keeps quitting the game.

I have never quit the game, been here with the same handle for 12 years with one 18 month break. Need to check your facts.

That would be shooting at, being shot at and not scoring kills, most like. It's a hard concept to grasp.  :D

But do you shoot 4 .1 second micro-bursts while you're lining up for the kill, running from no lead to a ten yard lead?

by your own definition I never stop fighting either.  just sometimes I go back to base to get a new plane.  get your facts straight.

Do I detect a hint of criticism of BluBerry's shooting?  Hell, at he can get two kills in 3 or 4 minutes.  I'd say his gunnery is a fair bit more advanced than yours.   :salute

It's very easy to understand.  You like to fly around and talk and not engage in toon combat.  You're not going to be very good with that routine.

I guess dieing fast is a definition of that, but quite a stretch. Still, a poor attempt to cover up a false accusation.

I haven't spoken via PM or via telephone lately to anybody about the game (mainly because I don't see a crisis, nor do I need to invent one for me to rally the masses over).  I've friends and associates in the game that won't skip a fight no matter the planes involved or the advantage or disadvantage. I've friends and associates that would rather try to 'fly smart' and see if they can replicate, to some degree, the tactics used by WWII pilots (fighter or bomber). I'm somewhere in between, depending on mood or circumstance. Many are 'old timers', some are not. When it comes to GV fights ... I'm not one to say (I don't GV all that much) but I've seen big fights from the air. I didn't form a committee to arrive at a consensus.  

So, my question isn't multiple choice. It's direct and it's more to do with perception and presumption. It also requires a preface statement:

It's been claimed that Players aren't having fun and are leaving the game, supposedly because of players who are having fun that don't 'play fair.' (The statement - derived from the closing remarks in the original post.)

Is it really the behavior and attitude of the players that are having fun playing AH the way it was designed to be played that is at fault?

well considering that I have only been married twice.  and I am the one who kicked the first wife out.  and the second one, i kick her out every other day, but the damn beaotch takes the key with her and keeps coming back.

as for me wishing my life had turned out different,  I have 3 beautiful kids and 1 awesome granddaughter, if i wished my life had turned out different I am afraid I would have to give up one of them and no way in hell I would do that.   I do wish I had done some things different.  I am pretty sure, you have never felt the same way boss.

Actually Semp...never.  There isn't one thing I'd change but thank you for your concern.  It must have been how the ladies treated you.  I'll have to dig up the film...

You're not very good at arriving at conclusions. This isn't a recent epiphany, though.  :D

Read more carefully. Load your ammo more skillfully.  :aok

You get weirder the more drift from your 'good works.'  :aok

I guess its all about perspective right?  At least you didn't deny humping my ankle for a living and contributing nothing to this thread but insults.  I see that as Arlo making progress which is something I wasn't sure you could do at your age and with all the input you receive from your significant other...

Are you sure this thread isn't all about you?  The OP wasn't your question.  If you had no answer, you should have just passed on by...but you can't do that Arlo.  Since you don't fly, your opinion means squat and calls you may or may not make to people so generous as to call you friend are mute.  Fly and your opinion will matter.  Until then  Cheers dood.
