A CANCER IS TAKING OVER AH!

[BBP]

Well, I couldn't wait  to get back in the cockpit of my D-9. I take off and saw a red dot on my radar. I started searching and finally saw a ZERO. He saw me in pursuit and headed for the clouds. I followed him up for 14 minutes total. I'll give him credit he was staying out of reach of my guns and climbing well. We finally got to 30,000 feet. I got to 1000 feet from him and he hits the ripcord. He is gone! He is outta there. I'm left scrambling to try and make a hit on his plane which is falling fast while flipping and turning. I was at 500 MPH about to hit the wall were I will have to back off. BINGO! I got lucky and hit his plane with one of my cannons. It explodes and I get the kill. I should be happy but I'm not. I don't play the game for that crap. I return to base. Log the film.

I take off and again I see a red dot on the radar. I take off in the direction of the dot. It did take long to intercept a 110 on the deck. I turn around and point my nose in his direction. BINGO.......he hits the ripcord and he is gone, his plane hits the deck and blows up. I wasn't any where near him and never got off a shot. I return to base steaming. Is this the way the game is evolving?  Rather than get shot down we just bail?

I see this happening more and more but today was my first day to be on the receiving end. It really takes the fun out of the game. I know in War this could be done but would it? Not if you wanted to live. I hope others who have had this done to them will speak up. I got mine on tape but doubt that sending them in will accomplish anything. If others speak up maybe AH will address the problem.

STOMP OUT THE CANCER!

Fisher01 did this to me last night, as did a Corsair who was flying with SFOX, Kodis, and SHawk the night before (I assume it was SFOX or SHawk, but I never checked the film to confirm).

It's the way the game is now. People are more concerned about "WINNING ZE WAR!" than actually fighting it out and having fun. All I ever see anymore is mass NOE raids into empty bases for an easy take and if even one planes takes off to defend they will all give up and go mass NOE a different base. These past few days maps have just been getting steamrolled in 1-2 days (even the large maps that we usually get stuck with for 7 days!) because there are no fighter pilots left in the game.

Come join Aces High 2! An "Avoid combat at all cost Simulator!" That's what I think they game had become nowdays. I'm hoping with the new terrain update HTC picks up a bunch more new players who want to fight it out in their fighters, bombers, or vehicles. Not bomb and capture empty bases and bail at the first sight of an enemy.

You don't have to hit their plane to get a kill if you where in 1,000 ft of him you would get a instant proxie...

But I agree what a piss poor attitude

And its not even a issue about "winning the war" its just people don't like to fight. Many people who like to win wars would still fight, like ET37s missions.

it's the same issue with bomb and bail-which i don't care about--and lancstukas--but it's their 14.95 or 15.95 in my location it's 16.95

I do like people like ET or Jayro who get a bunch of people together to beat the crap out of our enemies. 

The ones I don't like are the ones who bring a mass of planes to an undefended base, meet some opposition, and just give up to go hit a different empty base. This is the large majority of missions I see anymore. I'd love to see more mission planners like ET or Jayro who continue the fight once they meet opposition.

Jayro raids are fun, he usually serves cake and ice cream afterwards.

Same as it ever was.

I really don't see anymore ganging, bailing, hoing, noe raiding, vulching, running, milk running, tool shedding or (insert term) than there ever was.  I find good fights every night.  Yes, some nights the map is getting steamrolled and its 2 countries vs 1, but the next night its a stalemate, or who is steamrolling who changes.

I'm all for encouraging fighting as thats the whole point, but I honestly don't think gameplay has changed much over the years.  Aside from less overall players online, it all seems about the same to me.

Maybe Snailman has a bail spreadsheet somewhere

I thought this was going to be about that guy spamming the O'Club with threads

Something like this?

Right.  Except you need to break out undamaged bails and jabo suicides.

[Angry Samoan]

yup   same ole same ole....  robbed of a kill to get a better score..   please tell me chivarly is not dead. If someone bails on you, pat yourself on the back.  so what if you dont land a kill.  you got the kill. 

[waystin2]

Huh...I always thought that I killed them with my mind when that happens.  Guess I was wrong...
