  I'm always looking at your six instead of checking mine so I have no excuse to not give you a check six.  :rolleyes:
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

Some folks feel the need to vent when they get killed and project fault somewhere besides themselves.  Its an ego self defense mechanism thats pretty common to see.  Its intense for some and spills out on folks around them.   They find some relief by taking a shot at their opponent or their countrymen.  They know they screwed up or that the situation is totally normal for MA play, but a little deflection of blame or guilt helps them reset.

Its mostly harmless and personally I just smile and carry on with enjoying the game.

When somebody whines about not getting a check 6 call I figure they have either gotten carried away or that they are in fact as pathetic as they sound. I assume everybody is doing there best and if you don't get a check six call it is not some malicious plot and its nobody's fault but your own if you get shot down.

i very seldom ask for help,even when i'm trailing 2 or 3..if somebody wants to help thats fine..i figure if i got myself into this mess,it's up to me to get out of it.if i see it i call out check 6...and even try to help.i learned a move from vudu15 video that helps me stay alive longer

I get help after fighting someone down to the deck from 20k.
I get help when I have run bombers out of bullets
I get help in hard fought 1v1's

So I get helped quite a bit actually

As someone else said, your six is your responsibility. This should be RULE #1 for any cartoon pilot.  IF you get a six call, great...but don't depend on them.  If keeping an eye on your six is a problem you might want to consider flying a plane with good rearward visability i.e. a Hellcat might not be the best ride for you until you develop your SA awareness skills.  :D 

Also keep in mind that range vox can suffer from considerable lag in a large furball so you may be getting that six call VERY late....like when your back in the tower....which stinks but, again, refer to RULE #1!     :D :aok

haha, i guess thats a little too much text, too bunched together, for some of you guys. the spaces arent big enough. i get it. ill try to use kindergarten text next time.

what i dont get, is why the same, cool guy, flamer, bully wannabes seem to do their very best to derail every single thread. and they never add anything to the subject. except snide remarks like a catty woman.  you guys need a job, a hobby, something worthwhile.

I have a feeling I know who your talking about. Tho years ago the list would have been longer.

Do tell anyway, at least in a PM. You have my word I wont make it public. I remember one guy, who played for many years, blow a gasket and then dissapear for months after not getting a check 6.

These types are right up there with the vulch Generals who order everyone else to clear the ack while they stay out of range in their C-Hogs until they can vulch safely. Then after everyone else leaves, and they are left on their own to actually fight fair, they blow gaskets when their C-Hog gets eaten and they cant land their 8 kills.

No names mentioned. Course they could very well be the same guy. :D
