JOUSTING! (Or learning how to shoot people down, first-pass, at the merge)

[JunkyII]

Most enjoyable.  Especially given about half those who have posted I have been HO'ed by (successfully and unsuccessfully) in the past.

So remember, kiddies...HOs are not OK....except when they are.   

Are they on Youtube? Then they don't count

100% troll, nothing more, nothing less.

Excuse me, but in light of your remarks on this topic, I think you really ought to address what appears to be an unprovoked attempted HO on the merge by you.

Oh be quiet BoneZ.  I mean Batmannn.  I mean.....

This.

It would be a lot easier to take the OP at his word if he didn't ridicule his victims and/or make excuses every time he gets his rear end shot off...   Judging by 200 he is always AFK or being ganged 5:1 when he dies.    *eyeroll*

Alas, from things like this I see the paranoia has taken your mind completely. For this I am truly sorry.

Be quiet? Why? You never were, here or on 200. Even when friends, people who unlike some didn't treat you like a mangy dog simply for being a new player and existing, were gently urging you to reign it in a bit. You haven't changed your behaviors of course, you've just pointed them in a different direction while flying with a different tag at the end of your name. So with typical AH hypocrisy and lack of objectivity these behaviors are now supposedly acceptable.

*sigh* Have fun cuddling up with the same high-school clique mentalities who only a short time ago were all too happy to mock you unprovoked, label you a "coward", a liar, and worse.

I'm confused a little...I'm sure that you stated in another thread that you found there to be no or very lacking competition within AH and yet you don't actually want competition at all... The only person you are competing against is yourself....you say above that you could see they were looking to set up for an angles fight which inevitably could turn into a competitive turn fight using all the (and more than real sometimes) abilities of the aircraft you have chosen for the sortie and yet you want to take the sucker punch because it looks better on the score card....
sure it does in one respect...but in another it means jack within the over all game dynamic that is AH... if score really matters there are others that will keep a lifetime achievement score... You are totally driven by  score and ...in reality a very small part of an over all scoring system.... so this must mean from my unskilled, bad grammatical, summation that you you need a chest to pin it to.....

Don't get me wrong...as it is said it is your $15.... but AH has never been a typical arcadish style fighter game to me which is what kept me wanting to log in more and more.... this is not the case these days... it is a shame from my perspective (numbers could be a factor here though...the majority staying are..well.... not my people so to speak)

Out of curiosity...how many other flight sims have you been/are a part of.


Oh yes...Hoin when being jumped on by 4 other cons is a different kettle of fish....

My sentiments too Tongs, Must be a Southern Hemisphere thing.

[Oldman731]

I think I must be an old Dinosaur.

You're not alone.  That the troll stirred up so much support makes me feel even older...Puts me in mind of this:

This smacks of Loser-in-high-school syndrome which seems to be highly contagious and running rampant lately.  How perfect

Why yes, my good man, some are.

Coming from a lead promoter of silly video game "machismo", this is pretty funny. On second thought, Peaked-In-Highschool-Syndrome seems a more likely origin for that sort. 

[BnZs]

So how bout that Uniform Rule Code gentlemen?

And you rise above the ad hominem so well.  Thanks for making mah point. . You manage to wade around in the muck with the people you call pigs just fine.

[Iamtheknight]

Vraciu and yourself are the ones who chose to take the discussion down that road. I can be fired upon but not fire back? Makes sense, that is also how certain hypocrites want it when it comes to HOs.

Skyyr seems to be going through all of the stages of The Beginners 101 course:

Cutting engine - doesn't work

Putting gear down- doesn't work

Trying to get the best HO shot- doesn't work

Trying to act dominant on the BBs when you really don't know jack about the overall game yet- doesn't work

The only thing I've heard so far from the duels I've heard about are how using this " front quarter shot" is pretty much your only cheap effective technique when you both turn back in after the merge or you go for the  E rope maneuver and BnZ the rest of the fight.

Sounds like such a fun and exhilerating match for all involved.  

Grannit, I'll give you some acknowledgment of your progress so far and 2v2s- you have the passion.  Even I did all these things when I first started. But I learned real quick there are much more effective techniques, that is why this is so funny.
