Im always up for going to the DA. If I see you on Ill call you over.  I need to work on a lot of stuff also. Just when I think Im getting better I get proven otherwise.

lesson learned today players dont care as long as they can get a kill. they will vulch, ho whatever they can as long as they get a kill. next lesson if you get a player away from the group he will run away  until he has the advantage. thanks knights now i know what i need to learn and work on . ha 48 times i was vulched  got to be a record.
guess i should of read the game instructions.
VULCHING: Vulching is the act of killing someone as they are taking off or just after they take off. Some people (usually the ones who die over and over) will complain about vulching. Most people feel that if they are silly enough to try and take off from an airfield that is covered by enemy, they deserve to die!

Correct, MOST players only want a kill, how they get it is immaterial. Luckily there are still a few of us who will fight it out. Hang in there, you sound like one we really need to keep around here

That's it! Ding ding ding!!! In a game like this anything goes and getting kills is the main objective no matter what the opponent believes is a justful death or tactic.

The point is, practice, learning and understanding of ACM, getting better at aiming, avoiding HOs and learning merges so that you can get a jump in the emmilan to gain their 6 more quickly (very important move), understand what maneuvers to perform based on your E state and their E state and what plane you and them are in, understanding SA and when to perform the maneuvers in order to not get picked. It is all about not dying to those pesky HOers and vulchers and instead killing them without putting yourself in too much risk to get shot.   .

Good luck

You've experienced one of the most common (and arguably frustrating) parts of combat sims.

Now that you recognize these items, the important part is how you respond. A majority of players experience this and complain about honor, lack of realism, lack of sportsmanship, lack of quality fights/opponents, etc. - the truth is, these tactics are common across ALL sims. You can make excuses too (not that you have in any way whatsoever), but they will only server to stunt your growth.

If you accept these things, and simply learn how to mitigate them, your skill will increase immensely. This alone will put you into the top 20-25% of players, just due to the fact most players never learn this.

The vast majority of players run, this is why learning to kill quickly and good gunnery are important. Be aware of your surroundings (SA) and don't put yourself at a disadvantage to kill a runner. Learn instead of optimize your shot opportunities.

There is a time and place for everything.

The trick is in knowing the difference

[M1A1]

To be honest you learned a life lesson. In real combat as in sim combat the only thing that counts is winning. The tactics used in the sim are and have been used in real life. Like skyyr said it is how you respond to them. There is a time and place for every tactic and it is not cheaqting to use any of them. There is no honor in combat that is for before and after, trust me when I say that. Learning good SA, ACM and the like goes a long way but in the end it is the type of person you are and what you are playing the game for that truly affect how you play and what you will do to win. Keep up the work and like I said we are looking forward to seeing on 187. You sound like just the type of person we are looking for.

wtf are you all talking about!? whining and crying is the best way to kill ack divers and runners and vultchers............... right

I actually think my one poorly written paragraph of terrible grammar sums it up pretty we'll if you want to be a good all around fighter in AH.  But I'm just tooting my own horn

  thank you for the replys .yesterdays lesson was 1 in humility but also  an ego test . (players may have compassion for that poor spit trying to take off) nope vulch vulch vulch
 1 thing i learned a long time ago  in order to learn something you have to take what you think you know and empty the glass. well my glass was pretty empty yesterday. hehehehe
  so instead of whining, squeakin  and crying about it i went to the  offline practice arena to work on gunnery for 3 hours . and did it again today . hehehe Oh Ray.... Oh Raaaay. Ya you 242 sloppy cmdr. this 1 is for you .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw3rBImraAM

there is absolutely Honor in combat.... sorry but you are mistaken...while combat is a much different situation to playing Aces High... Honor being what it is.....and Aces High a game meant for fun...Honor should most definitely be a part of it... it will be if people have honor...

that's the thing about Honor and Integrity...those that have it don't shut it off depending on the situation.
