LOL the BS is strong tonight, I think we have finally achieved mythical status....By this I mean some players just make up allegations, maybe they have a grain of truth to them, but then they embellish and finger vomit these ideas on 200. Thus, creating a narrative, mostly built on falsehood, but somewhat plausible (even though it didn't happen) none the less. I am going to address some of these from tonight later. I would quit the game if we were truly damaging the game, but we are not. My proof is on this forum, the same players have been crying wolf about the game dying, and being harmed since before 49ers were dropping 2 HQs in sync. A few loud and somewhat influential players appear to know what buttons to push to get variables changed in their favor, and they are successfully doing it. Take the HQs and Strats away if they are killing the game. Personally I think breaking the strats up from the single cluster was one of the best changes to the game. Being intercepted by a 163 every time you go after the AAA factory was not fun. (besides getting rid of the small square town with the stupid little chapel that you always missed downing, but could be leveled by a 8" in 12-15 shots. Remember when 1 man takes were the norm not the exception? AH1 had sheep too, or what we call a potential Fess date, but I digress...)
First I was accused of running in a Ki-43, by a guy flying a Pony. Now this guy would not drop it for hours, even though the basic elements of the accusation are impossible
http://www.hitechcreations.com/component/ahplaneperf/?Itemid=139 (you have to change the second plane to a KI-43) How does a Ki-43 run from a pony? You hold all the cards there buddy, Ki-43s do not get to pick their fights, unless you are fighting a LVT or Sd.kfz-251... maybe but you still have 400 yards of 30 cal danger zone to buzz through at 168 IAS. Flying in circles hoping to get cockpit shots on the 3 guys BnZing you makes for a hard starting position on a "run". I juke your Pony on the HO attempt, but you blew by with so much smash, and there was a maneuvering spit right there that drew the ire of my lead. You don't exactly get to pick your fights, but you can choose who gets your twin 12.7s, because ki-43.
Then, I was accused of not fighting, even though was constantly outnumbered, out gunned and out planed all night. This one is getting annoying. The whole purpose of the game is COMBAT. I was flying high ENY planes on the deck most of the night. I guess first one to 200 wins the PR war? See above accusation... I was engaged at one time with at least 2 planes. Now sometimes I get bored with being jumped by your tempest, spixteen, La-7, pony hoard party so I will go turn out the lights... but I will be right back there in a g6, ki43, A8, wirb, LVT4 whatever, taking on any fight. To me boom n' zooming people that are already engaged is not exactly fighting, but hell that is war. However if you choose to do that, you can not accuse a guy in a ki-43 fighting 2 spixteens and a pony on the deck of not fighting.
Finally, I was accused of being a bomb n' bailer... have not really been flying bombers much lately, but when do I bomb and bail? Shooting the guns is the fun part!
I challenge you this, If you have definitive proof that 49HACK has bomb and bailed your strat prior to this posting time, I WILL PAY YOUR ACES HIGH SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE REST YEAR 2016. For the purposes of this challenge: The definition of bomb and bail is to bomb a strat target (city, factory or HQ) with the intent of ditching the bombers before you can get a kill, and thus do not score any kills on text buffer. (I think I joined the 49th in April of '15, thus going older than that is futile) You can not have hit my first bomber with your 163, killing my elevators, and then the other 2 fly into the side of a hill or something like that. Have fun digging through your film, and good luck.
I live for the smack talk on 200, but the passive aggressive slander BS is getting old...
