I thought you followed the same rule as me, ask then dive in and pick and apologize for not hearing the reply :).

Lol no... :)

However I will circle above the fight secretly hoping the friendly loses  :P

I follow the same code. However if I don't get an answer on VOX I attack regardless.

Ya me too. Or if the friendly is in an obvious "about to die" situation.

The 1 on 1's like we had often in the old days, the ones that leave your hands shaking win or lose, are to sweet and infrequent to just bust up for reasons of stats. Boy I can still remember the best ones even after many years of having had them. :salute

Same here, and those fights are still to be found... At least last year when I last played the game.  :salute

You know what I'm getting tired of...getting shot down by the super pilots in their super squads.

All month long 6 v 1, 4 v 1, 5 v 1...


Kodiak,

If you see me on, feel free to PM me and I'll fly your wing.  I fly alone in the MA quite a bit, so I know how to deal with the gang and pick crowd.  Takes some timing, tactics and SA to set up properly, but they also tend to die quite easily because they've never learned to fight defensively.

You and I can have some laughs by killing one or two of them and watching these "super pilots" run all they way back to their ack.

Don't quit so fast. Sure sometimes you might get jumped by more than one.
You learn a lot that way too :aok
It'll teach you to at least try to stay away from a bunch.
Try diving in on 1 or 2, not 5-6 at a time.
Maybe sometime you'll be on the 5-6 side attacking 1.

It's not an easy game, and not for the faint of heart and easily angered.  With no power ups and pay for an advantage super powers it takes skill to be successful (or help). 

The only thing standing between being eaten by, and being one of the super pilots is stick time and training.   

:salute and enjoy your break.

My squad will fly in a finger four when our number of pilots on allows, but that is usually against a horde or into a huge furball. Wether way, we are still out numbered when we do this, plus we can at least hold a nice formation, instead of the "mini-horde" some of these squads fly...

I've been playing for about 9 yrs, and I have yet to see a single Finger 4 formation in this game. I do see duos that fight cooperatively though, and those with good communication and a little common sense can be a real handful, even when outnumbered.

A four ship fingertip will be a welcome sight vs the typical "same way, same day" string formation.  :salute
