What do you...
« on: May 28, 2014, 04:20:52 AM »
...consider as FUN in this game? What are you playing for, what are your goals?
Please, do not insult each other, or be sticky at those whose opinion are different from yours. (ergo, dont make this locked lol)

Mine were:
1: finding some friends to fight against (DA 1v1, 2v2, had many good fights in the MA too)
2: if that friend was on my side, winging up and peppering the biggest horde on the map
3: kill those who are definiately flying for not to be killed at any price (vdallas, hoss, joker, nippon run-kokutai etc)

First to fly with my friends and have fun, whatever it is I'm doing at the time. Learn to play the game in all it's aspects, bombing, gv'ing, etc. To fight against the best dogfighters, not those concerned with stats, but those who want to fight and have fun. The fun isn't in winning, status isn't about k/d ratio, but fighting and winning or losing to someone better that me. I'm amazed that so many play this game as if their stats or rank matter.

This pretty much sums it up for me i do like to keep an eye on my stats but only to see which planes im having most luck in.

I like going to the DA but i prefer finding a good 1v1 in the MA were you dont know who your opponent is until he gets you or you get him.

Mine is helping the war effort. I try to pick targets to bomb that will help my country in the current time that we are playing. Example a vehicle hanger, ords or even upping a fighter and taking the fight to the opposing country. Anything I can do to hinder the other teams effort. When it comes to gv I try to be as big a pain in the butt as possible. Love to shell vehicle fields from a far then poach whoever comes after me. I get my biggest kick when the other team will launch about 6 or 7 guys to come hunt for me. I never mind being the rabbit.

I can't remember anything fun enough to justify a return, therefore I have not returned!!   :aok

So, I guess nothing.

Fun is fighting with someone who because of skill or difference in aircraft is reasonably evenly matched, resulting in an extended dogfight till you run out of gas or win. It is also best when you get the impression that your opponent is good natured and not a sadistic antisocial dork with autism spectrum disorder. (If you can really tell by how somebody flies I don't know but sometimes....)

Multi-bird fights: 3v2, 2v2, 10v7, etc. The ideal is this multi-bird set up in set pieces, as in Fw190s v PonyDs, etc. So rare...

Again, have to call you on your 'information'. Joker is a member of The Specialists and I can factually say, a good place to start when trying to make a point, he definitely is  NOT "flying for not to be killed at any price."
 
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Are we talking about the same Joker, the CO of the JJs? While he isnt half as boring as some others, it was definiately satisfying to pick him out from his sea of red. 4-hog vulchfests can turn out wrong too.
