In a furball there are no rules. Never trust a greenie to finish an enemy off, so take it out of the fight yourself if you get the chance. If not, this enemy will turn into you and shoot you down with the useless greenie still on his tail.

If you come across two planes having a go at each other 1 on 1 and do not risk you - ask on range before jumping in. No answer = an approval.

Furball is a different story. Anything is fair game. I dont even care if you clear my 12 so long as the red guy dies
But occasionally you come across that have diverted  outside of the furball. Then I still ask or if it seems like my guy has the advantage. I'll leave it be if I get no responce

Absolutely!

Its one of the tactics I use when we are being attacked. Folk here are as predictable as the sunrise.

Go to enemy base. Swoop down on a few and knock off as many as I can before like a school of fish they all start coming after me. Then its stay alive as long as possible. Usually by the time I've died. My base has started to recover through attrition and everyone who should be headed back to my base chasing after me instead. Keep 5 or 6 busy for a couple of minutes and it can make a big difference

 Something to consider is the slight delay in Vox!

   Stuff happens fast ingame and even though you said something over Vox it doesnt me the other player{s} hear it. Remember that vox is recorded and played back so that cause a slight delay,add in net delay and you could have several second pass before your vox is heard.


  Question for you smart cookies,How far will a plane travel at 400 mph in 2 seconds?

   It's rhetorical but it illustrates why it could possibly have happened,IMHO it was a I need to kill the bad guy syndrome....  alll gamers suffer from it from time to time!

There is no protocol. The MA is a warzone, not a gentleman's club. If you can't kill the guy you're fighting quickly, whether he's in front of you beside you, or wherever, he remains an active threat and should be dispatched by any available friendlies as quickly as possible.

If people dislike this, there's always the DA.

Some of us have been around long enough to remember there was a code of honor. Even in an Ma setting.

You sir have no honor. I doubt you even know the meaning of the word

For the record. Yes I pick too. But rarely a 1V1 without the consent or request of my country men

With all due respect, the last time we fought 1v1, you ran for three minutes after you attempted to vulch me after takeoff, dying after I chased you for a full grid. Please refrain from lecturing me about "honor."

Flying with Top Gun has made me rush to kill everything that gets in front of my gunsights, ESPECIALLY flying with DrBone and TripWire.
They show absolutely NO remorse for flying in front of you and taking your kill while you killshoot yourself.  :frown: It has happened to me
on many occasions.
