Weak peeps..

[68ZooM]

Agreed that there are many things that other peeps do that is frustrating to others  however, it is their $14.95  to do as they wish within the parameters of the game . I think that it should be put in that if you bail and are within icon range period and not just within 2k, a proxy should be awarded .

 why should someone be awarded a proxy kill, I mean who would want a cowards bail to count as a kill.
 now I can see if you put a bunch of lead in him and then he bails that's just considered a kill, but seriously who really wants a proxy kill  I mean if you need a kill that bad.

I cant help but bail... the thought of fighting it out with a bad guy makes me pee myself.

Lately I have been flying my fighter up to bombers and bailing.  HA HA, beat you to the punch!

Is that a new squad SOP? I must have missed the memo will commence bail first operations henceforth.

Don't see it much... Last night, I killed a fairly brave and skilled dude who upped twice to (get this) dogfight my easy mode Spit XVI (with scowls cast at those who fly nothing else) with his Pony. I almost didn't want to kill him. Salute goes to Taters... he flies the Pony well. Next tour, if I see him, I'll be back in a tougher ride. Still, I call that balls.

Generally, lately, I'm seeing good fights. THe furballs get a little annoying but I haven't seen a bail in quite a while.

BTW, Schen can kill the Spixteen from his KI and make me look foolish... but generally, the former deserves a perk.

    last week, I climbed up to Rook bombers at 25k on 5 separate occasions, only to have them bail as soon as I got within 2k. I was pretty disappointed after reviewing film to learn that 3 of those 5 were veteran players.  WHY should I be awarded proxy kills ?  because I spent my time climbing up to them, and interrupting their objective. and I deserve to get my name in lights and proceed to call them out on 200 for being dweebs.

The "bomb & bail" thing is probably generational. These are most likely the same instant gratification kids who play combat FPS's where you res, run back into the fight to kill the guy who last killed you, and then get killed yourself. 15 seconds max, then lather, rinse, repeat. These are the same guys who die at a camped spawn 30 times in a row. It pretty much describes their mind set,  but they're also the age demographic that HTC needs to court to stay in business.

        I disagree.  This demographic comes and goes. they find a new game every month.  The demographic HTC needs to court is the more mature crowd. The ones who want to immerse themselves in the game, Learn the planes, Learn ACM, THESE are the folks that have been around, and will stay around. it's their  $15 a month that has kept HTC in business year after year.

In essence I agree with you, but unfortunately the "instant gratification" crowd is growing daily, while the number of us who actually appreciate the time consuming challenge of learning ACM, not to mention the historical context of the game, is shrinking. Many of us loved these old planes long before AH came along. That's why we were instantly hooked. But we're getting a little "long in the tooth", and newer potential players don't share our enthusiasm.  It's not our fault, it's not HTC's fault, it's nature's fault.  HTC has to go where the money is to stay afloat. I just hope the game doesn't lose it's soul in the process.
