People run from everything in this game. Spit16's and N1k's run from my damn P40F.

^ I agree.

Its not about the plane, its about how fast you make them aware your not a noob stick. The guys who are  after you "magically" got on their 6 in the first turn always dive out and run.

Sadly true.  Still....remember one more quote which may or may not have been from PT Barnum:

"There's a sucker born every minute."

 

All kidding aside...I appreciate the ones that do fight.  I appreciate it even more when I beat them!

My personal favorite are the guys who see you at co-alt but still dive out to try and pick somebody on the deck then continue straight to their ack.

Fixed!  

Couldn't agree more.  Thus:

Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.

Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

Flying a big ugly two engined plane that looks like a bomber can help....flying like you don't know what you are doing helps even more.  I'm great at this last part.....mainly because I really DO NOT have any idea what I am doing!

this happens once you get a good farming spot going on, they start avoiding your model of aircraft all together.

^ this, WT/WoWP isn't that bad, great graphics, FM's ok in full realism, but biggest thing for me is you don't have to deal with as many ack running, wirble camping, fly 4 sectors to keep from fighting you noobs (AKA 90% of the AH population). So that's at least one huge thing it has over AH.

I think that's because the stat and scoring here promote that sort of flight style.

With the exception of raw fighter score, every other ranked stat promotes vulching, teaming, and running from even fights. I'm not saying in any way that it prevents people from being successful, but it does promote a cowardly style of play your average pilot.

I fly until I die or run out of ammo/gas... that being said, i dont land much lol

So you're in to classical dance

You know why you're not allowed to smile when dancing a minuet? Cos back when minueting was cool everyone had rotten teeth.

   This is simply because so many who profess to not care about score actually do and can quote their hit% or rank. While I do agree HTC should have a scoring and rank system I dont think it needs to be available in the clipboard. Yes I know the CV control but a simple you dont have the rank message would do.

  Also those who say that AH has a steep learning curve,I think this is wrong to me AH is a series of steps. You learn a skill and put it to use and eventually you plateau,then you need to add something to your bag of tricks to get better. So this to me is a series of steps as opposed to a curve.

  Oh and I lasted 2 mins once,all the wife said was"what's got into you!"

You have to kind of make some concessions's at times.. yes the gamesmanship needs to be there..  but who puts points on your table at the end of the day?  I  try to give the best fight I can also.. but man nothing better than landing back home safe and sound after a good sortie..

Even better are the ones that start on your high 6 with both alt and E advantage. Make one pass and miss then instead of maintaining their advantage,head straight down to ack and sprint back and forth between their field and town

[Scca]

And this is why I fly a 47M. Their run option usually doesn't pay off...

I usually come in to a fight at 18-20K and fast.  Not because I am an "alt monkey", it's because it pushes all the 190's and Pee-51's down to the deck so I can proceed to the rest of the fight without their interference.  By the time they return to their perch, I am RTB with 2+kills (or reupping from being sent to the tower) Even if I don't get a kill, the glee I feel when a lone 47 shows up co-alt, they make one failed HO pass then drop to the deck or head to their ack.  I LIVE for the reverse.

And you'll notice my sig reflects these facts
