Thanks Fulcrum for summing up how I feel about a bunch of middle-aged Armchair Richthofen's moralizing about their "honor" in a cartoon game.  :rolleyes:

Here's an idea. The next time someone fails at defending a base, or dropping troops before the town pops, then they should just commit Seppuku. That would more than demonstrate their dedication to "honor". (Not to mention saving their "survivors" the $15 subscription cost.  :D

Welcome back Squid-face, I always liked you.

Honor is a much too important concept to the richthofens you speak of define it in terms of "any tactic I don't like at this moment is dishonorable". Oh, and when I suggested actual formalized rules against the majority of "dishonorable" tactics complaints, it was completely rejected.  :headscratch:

I dunno....I'm kinda digging the idea of player Seppuku to uphold ˝honor˝.  :D

The question of spying or ratting out missions is a matter of good sportsmanship and fair play, not honor. Honor is a silly concept when it comes to a internet game. Luckily the good sports far out weight the sleazy game play of the spying types. For that reason and the fact the spying really doesn't change the outcome of map resets or wars won, I tend to overlook the spies and just roll my eyes at their stupidity. These types do more harm to their names than they do to my game.

You're not being yelled at. I misplaced my reading glasses.  :D

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

You can say anything, let it be any rare, honor does exist, even in the MA. I hjave seen what i have seen, and telling you, it is the best this game can offer to run into someone who fights with honor - even if they usually kick my cartoon butt.

Denying it is a lame attempt to justificate that you have no honor at all - or a sign that you have never seen anyone worthy yet.

  War is Hell   :devil

  ET runs some good missions but this one was compromised lets say by some German female spy that slept with the some officer that gave up the mission plans.  :ahand

   You may have to change tactics to prevent these 262 attacks from being effective. Up from a base further from the front, get to a higher altitude say 30k and the 262s will have trouble at alt. This game is encouraging the hoard I guess as these smaller missions are quite risky.

   Honor set sail a long time ago...

Hopefully HTC will hurry up with that much anticipated "honor meter" upgrade for all the cockpits. Then my PM's can be more precise... "Dude, that was the most amazing AND HONORABLE crossing shot I've ever seen! <S> "

I operate a shade account under the name "TopHat". I'll use one of the Home Lan macs to up some G4Ms or a Zeke and put it on autopilot.

The I'll login in as myself on another computer and go shoot down "thuh emmaknee" I upped in step 1 above.

In all cases, I shoot down those shade drones HONORABLY - typically by flying slowly up their 6 and shredding them with a nice motorkanone :aok, then I honorably go onto this BBS and chest thump about it - and all the Supermodels I've, uh, "enjoyed" (with 45 degrees of loft).

But, damnit if Lusche didn't pull down my stats and show that 90% of my kills came against one dude who only flies G4Ms or Zekes.  :uhoh

Anyway, I'm calling him out for his dishonorable conduct.

It's a possibility. When I took the Stanford-Binet test years ago they said I scored within the top .25%. Maybe they really meant the bottom. What the Hell, I'm adaptable...You want fries with that?
